....Cost, yes. But it's such a small cost isn't it?

....There's no loss of comfort whatsoever on my DSG GTI with Neuspeed Torque insert and less wheel-hop.

....Perhaps my KoniFSD's help (long shot!!) - I don't know, but I really haven't felt any more vibration or harshness. My ride is very firm though :smiley:

I'm told that the dogbone will give a definite increase in vibration but when the engine is idling.

Got mine for free at Awesome when the APR bods were there developing the stage 3+ map.

It said APR Australia on the one I had given me.
