B&B engine packages bundle a replacement turbocharger and a new exhaust system with performance catalysts, plus extensive modifications to the injection, induction and engine control systems. Kits are available for the 2.0-liter TDI and gasoline engines that can boost output up to 300 horsepower. In top trim, 0-60-mph acceleration is reduced to less than 6 seconds and top speed jumps to 162 mph.

B&B aero kits are highlighted with unique alloy wheels in 18- and 19-inch diameters.

So is there any possibility of turning the wheel AND hitting a bump? I fear for the fenders with that stance.

If I bought another VW it would only be kept for the time of the warranty then traded in.

And yet they continue to have amazing resale value. bah
