[s-cars] WGFV

[Eric Phillips]

Thanks to you, and Ted, for the info.

So, there is a specific RS2 WGFV?  Cool.  I wonder how different it is
from the stocker.  I don't have a problem paying for a higher-quality
part, or a part that'll be necessary when the RS2 mods all come
together.

So, if I put the RS2 part on now, before I do any of the other stuff,
will it hurt my car?

Does anyone have direct knowledge of this part?

Thanks again, guys - I had started dreaming about //Sciroccos while I
was eating some pizza, and needed to come back to the slippery slope.
