GTI 6 APR Carbonio air intake + downpipe..is it worth it??

[masev]

Can I just pay $1600, have the Stage II downpipe installed and get the free Stage II ECU upgrade therefore saving myself from paying $1700 for the Stage I ECU upgrade? Or am I just downright silly?

Unfortunately you're downright silly!

Would it be stupid to get the Carbonion intake before i get stage 1?

The intake allows better air flow and changes the induction sound of the motor. The addition of the intake is independent of the ECU tunes, so you can put it on whenever you like

To quote from the MK6 GTI Stage 1 page:

So it should be free. But maybe the WA dealer has had too many people stuff them around or something...

Or maybe the dealer is just Profiteering from unsuspecting people,Oh and don't forget that if you choose not to go with the APR software that it is STILL on the car, not removed,just not active.Your VW ECU has been re written,no matter what anybody here may say.
