I call it the Dog Car because my fiancé and I adopted a Mini Goldendoodle puppy three days after buying this and I went from a stanced VW GLI to this partially because of the dog lol.

Car had 20,205 miles on it and was a one-owner car from New York. Funny enough, it was actually at CarMax in Dulles, VA over Thanksgiving and I just happened to go look at it while I was visiting my folks.

Are you still running the F10 turbo inlet? Did you note any performance advantage from that upgrade? Was it plug and play?
