Been painting Pirelli artwork all over the place. Saw 7800 in fifth in Mexico...

Ran errands in mine today, and scared my buddy riding shotgun running out a couple gears. Procharger powa!

One of my friends has a 2015 Audi A4 and another friend has a 2015 Golf R. Basically the same car. 2.0L turbo. AWD, etc. These things are crazy. Nothing but a $750 tune takes them from low 13s cars to high 11s. Now there is a "stage 3" kit out, which takes it to a high 10s car full weight. The investment jumps from $750 to nearly $9K since some of the drivetrain needs beefed up, but still a completely full weight streetable family hauler. Technology is amazing. Makes my Mustang seem so outdated.

Lol - when I grow up I want my GT to run like yours Mark! Freakin' freight train!

**PaxtonShelby** · 03-08-2016, 09:37 PM

Holy crap on that Golf. I never woulda thunk it. Those cars actually survive that much boost?

**turbo83coupe** · 03-08-2016, 09:59 PM

Chick I'm talking to now has a newer Golf R (13? 14?) It's pretty awsome!! Hers is the six speed manual. Nice car for sure!

Did summit stop shipping packages via UPS ground?

What is this iDeliver tracking ?

If different I hope as fast as UPS.....i usually get parts next day...almost as good as overnight's from Japan.

My buddy has a 2011 GTI with the 2.0 turbo. He bought the APR basic re-map ECU or whatever and it woke the car the F up. Things runs really good.

I have no idea what the heck they are doing, and have backed off from ordering from them.

They tried to keep up with Jegs with orders placed late still shipping ... EXCEPT, from Jegs via FedEx, I can order up to 10:00 pm and still get it next day .... With summit, I ordered at 9:00 AM, they held the shipment until night, then it went from them to a UPS hub where it sat until the next day.... by their terms it "shipped" (left their warehouse), but don't do me any good if it don't come.

They need to steal whoever set up Jegs channels because they are reliable ... eh, I just order from Jegs now days.

We switched to new computer system at work...SAP

Not sure which level of hell it is from but it must be exorcised from the work environment.

**Martin0660** · 03-09-2016, 07:38 PM

It's from German hell .... SAP is short for Stops All Production

i had to set up a new plant in Chinese in that mess. I knew how to do it, but couldn't read it. They knew how to read it but no idea how to do it. I learned to swear in Chinese, they learned to swear in English

on the bright side, it doesn't get easier (depending on what modules you guys use)

**PaxtonShelby** · 03-09-2016, 08:00 PM

We have SAP at Bayer. Overall it isn't terrible. What is terrible is how companies completely F it up as they tweak it to "meet their needs".

**Troll** · 03-09-2016, 10:10 PM

Is your IT "guy" or "department" on site? Where I work, the IT guy is in Texas and you have to talk to him on the phone. He speaks to you in that condescending tone like you're an idiot and you know he's making the universal jack-off motion with both hands like he's hugging an elephant for the guy in the next cubicle... trying not to laugh.

We use JWS... Junk Which Sucks :shrug:

**Martin0660** · 03-09-2016, 10:37 PM

Indeed, we did an "upgrade" a few years ago and the edict was "no customization". We had so much added in before that it was a mess.

My my issue is nothing is intuitive. Once you know what you are doing it is indeed powerful. Still stuff that bothers me... We have to enter purchase requisitions and our expenses into those modules and it just takes 4x as long as any other method you could think of.
