    Tuned car - should I change timing belt early?

    I am just curious if it would be a good idea to do my timing belt early since my car is tuned a bit. I own a 2017 VW Jetta 1.4TSI that makes 150 hp stock with 184 ft lbs of torque. Since new I have installed a high-flow AWE Tuning cat back exhaust with an AEM short-ram cold air intake, a Forge...

    Too many additives to choose from!

    Hello, this is my first post here and I am a bit of a maintenance nut much like I'm sure you all are.
