| Garrett's performance chip mounted in a spare ECU. Switching between stock and performance is real easy. What does this buy me? 10 HP and 10lbs-ft gain with substantially more performance at lower RPMs at full throttle. Better fuel economy and throttle response at part-throttle. Smoother resting idle. No speed limiter. |
| ITG Pro-Filter air filter |
| VW rear spoiler (w/third brake light) (for picture, click here) It is suppose to be functional but WOW does it look great back there! |
| VW side air deflectors (no need to wonder if it is going to rain) |
| VW splash guards (x4) |
| Wet Okole custom front bucket seat covers (for picture, click here)
These are excellent well-fitted waterproof seat covers! Since the B5 Passat has standard side-impact airbags in both front seats, Wet Okole cut holes in the side (and finished the edges) to line up with the area where the airbags deply from. Check out www.wetokole.com |
| 3M metallic Scotchtint
Here in Florida, a good tint is a necessity, and the metallic Scotchtint is much better than the average tint. |
| upgraded audio
I got a little carried away but I managed to get everything for very nice prices. I installed everything myself. Components include:
|
| European OEM light switch
This switch allows you to turn on just your running lights, as you can do with virtually any other car in the U.S. (what were you thinking VW?!?!), and wire in the rear red fog lights (to help others see you in nasty weather) and activate them. |
| More to come as the budget allows...
Mintex Red box brakepads, 16" wheels (BBS RX) & tires (Pirelli P7000?), the VW springs (really Eibachs) or Neuspeed Softsports, Bilstein struts, heavier duty sway bar (VW 29mm Passat Wagon sport bar?), and who knows what else. |
| Ross Tech's VAG-COM -- Uwe Ross has invested a lot of time to produce a much needed affordable VW/Audi diagnostic tool for novice and advanced mechanics alike. The software and special cable can be used with nearly any Windows 95/98/NT4 PC (laptop or desktop) on 1994 MY and later VW and Audi vehicles (incl. SEAT and Skoda). While still in Beta development, the VAG-COM is fully capable of performing nearly all of the functions of a VAG-1551/-1553, with more advanced functions, on the way. Uwe also supports his tool and moderates the E-Groups VAG-COM news group. |
