'02 C230 K
New Member

Hi,

I just wanted to introduce myself...A new member, and the new owner of a '02 C230K. I picked up my car a couple of weeks ago and have really loved it. I can't wait to get inside this car and see, with some tweaking, what it is capable of.

I don't think GIAC has abandoned anyone...I think they've been doing work with a lot of marks as of the last few years and it is only becoming more widely-known now. Here's to hoping they can work their magic similar to what they do well on a 1.8T 20V VW/Audi motor, ala TT/Golf/GTI/Jetta/Passat.
