So the ultimate question is, do we get a boost button :evil: or will it just be at full throttle in 'clubsport' mode?

We've only got to wait until Wednesday to see the dry run at Worthersee.

I'd assume the extra booooooost comes in when you get the throttle pedal past the DSG kick down switch thingy.

Aww I really want a button :smiley: wonder why the bothered tho, surely just stick the full 280 from a Leon and have done with it instead of messing around with variable power outputs. Makes it more special however

I do as well, but be a nice touch if they did full LED headlights as well. I know this will probably be saved for the mk8 though.

+ 1

I saw an R waiting to turn at a set of lights the other week and noticed the all LED front indicators. Very cool. Bit of a let down to have beautifully designed xenon headlights but only get old school orange bulbs for indicators on the GTI/GTD's. I too believe all LED units will be saved for the Mk 8 GTI/GTD/R
