Are you sure those are Ferodo? I don't know what pad you are talking about, but Ferodo pads are far from dust free. Ferodo may MAKE pads for people, but they are not as nice as the 2 more agressive compounds. In the VW community Velocity Sport Tuning where I work is known for their extensive brake testing and R&D. Metal master pads have always placed last in brake testing. The 4 best brake pads we have run across are the factory VW pads, the Ferodo High performance Street compound, the Mintex C-Tech, and the Ferodo DS2000. The fact that you mentioned that the Ferodo is a dust free pad makes me wonder what ferodo pad you are talking about. Ferodos are far from dust free.

The 1144 compound Mintex is an Excellent pad. That is the Fast Road or C-Tech as Mintex calls it. Ferodos Fast Road pad is known as the DS2000. Both are good pads, But the DS2000 is more stable at high temps.

I have the 2wd 4 door turbo. I turned the boost up to 12psi, and removed the rear section of the exhaust. It runs good. I have recorded 0-60mph times in the middle to low 6 sec range depending on the outside temp. It's alot of fun!! I will chip it, and port the head after I recover from the 3.0L conversion on my SVT. Maybe even an upgraded turbo. I have H&R springs, Tokico shocks, and a rear sway bar waiting to go on as soon as I have the time.
