Or stage 1 and 2. All the stillen stages use the same blower and plenum. Stage 2 and above adds an intercooler mounted under the blower and a front heat exchanger but does not change the plenum.


If you do a TT you don't need to change your hood. I have my stock one on right now until I get hood pins and put my stillen one back on. I had it for my stillen kit but like the looks so it's going back on.

There is no good company that makes a CF hood for the sedan. VIS was talking about it but I have not seen one yet. There are some on ebay from some place like carbon craft or something like that but I'm not sure on the fitment and quality.

Do you want one for weight or looks? The oem hood is AL and only weighs a couple lbs more than a CF one.

I'm going for looks. But I was curious if a TT needed a new one. I would have shelled out for the nicer hood if it was needed.

There are currently no CF hoods made for 05+ sedans.

Good point, the ebay one I have seen is for the 03/04.

the 03-04 hoods are different in every way from the 05-06 so that site is very wrong. They dont do the research, they just assume it'll fit
