    Intake

    HPTuners does not have support for the ECM You can go to Vince @ Trifecta if you want tuned though. He is one of the few that has been able to crack most of the GM ECM's, and I know for certain does offer a LY7 3.6 Tune

    HID Conversion

    Cheapest, and best upgrade (brighter then fake Chinese Kits) was to upgrade to H9's vs the H11's. In terms of Lumens, which is what matters, not color range...I think it was 2200'ish Lumens. Factory was 1300'ish.

    Mud Flaps

    Very simple....Since in the summer we get showers just about ever afternoon (Florida)...On a dark colored car that shows EVERYTHING, I dont like road grime splashing up on my car, the "mud flaps" block this coming off the wheels. Then add if you put tire "new" products on your car, this will...

    Towing a Cruze with a Equinox

    The Nox actually has really good sized brakes. THe Colorado is rated to tow 6,0000lbs, and its brakes are smaller and slightly thicker, whats better 1" overall size of .25" of thickness? The only "negative" on the Nox/Traverse when it comes to towing, is the fact they are on unibody frames and...

    Towing a Cruze with a Equinox

    Your within the limits I see no reason why...Personally I think most manufactures really understate the capabilities. I would add an aux tranny cooler, and just keep the tranny in M5, with the gearing designed to try to get max mpg's, I think M5 would be better on the tranny.

    2012 Audi A3 Sportback TDI

    Last month I took it on its first real trip pulling. Waverunner, 3 adults in car, and the gear for a 4-day weekend Car handled very nicely. As expected, it has more torque then the Nox V6, and at lower rpms. Not once did it need to downshift out of 6th, or feel like it was lurking up a hill...

    transmission change

    Recommended is 50K Though they state 100K in the owners manual, it as well has a little disclaimer talking about if your in hot climates, stop-n-go traffic and a few other disclaimers....They recommend 50k instead of the 100k.

    Sick of "tin can" look....Try this

    I was going to do a year follow-up on this, but I ended up getting rid of the Nox. When I traded it in, the paint still looked wonderful, it held up. I used engine primer then a semi-gloss black, the muffer exhaust shield (which is what we are painting) doesnt get that hot, especially compared...

    2012 Audi A3 Sportback TDI

    Ah...I thought you where asking a model number similar to 6T70 or 6T45 (the transmissions in the 2010+ Nox's). I'm not certain DSG6 is the model number

    2012 Audi A3 Sportback TDI

    Not sure the different DSG models, and a quick search didnt bring up anything. Its an interesting setup, IF the TDI would've came with a true manual, I would've went with that instead of the DSG though. I was torn between Golf 4door TDI w/ 6spd, the Jetta Sportwagon 6spd, and the A3 whihc comes...

    2012 Audi A3 Sportback TDI

    Well I'm actually done w/ my modifications...the first few weeks I usually knock out everything I would want, why not just splurge if you can then enjoy the car? This one was simple...just basic clean-up and protection tbh Xpel Clear Bra (I always do clear bras on my cars, the Nox one worked...
