Tuners are working hard on the new Scirocco. Being the first to the market with a tuner version of a new vehicle is part of the competition. The SEMA Show’s European counterpart, the ESSEN Motor Show in Germany that runs from 29 November to 7 December will see the debut of yet another tuning proposal for Volkswagen’s new Scirocco, this time from MCCHIP.

The German-based tuner has prepared a rather mild package for the Scirocco 2.0 TSI that includes new software and a sport exhaust system which boost the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine’s output from 200 to 246HP and 346Nm of torque.

Aside from the big boost to power, the car gets a set of 19″ OZ alloy wheels wrapped in low-profile 235/35 Michelin PS-Cup tires. A suspension kit from H&R drops the car for better roll control and a more aggressive look.

With every modification you do to your vehicle, you want to make sure it is improving the driveability and aesthetically looks good on your car. We noticed that the Audi DSG paddle shifters were definitely lacking in this department.

The smaller shifter made it hard to quickly bang through the gears on the street, mountain roads, and on the track. While keeping your hands on the steering wheel in the appropriate position, you would have to take your hand off the wheel in a turn to reach for the small OEM paddle. What Agency Power has developed is a complete replacement paddle for the Audi DSG paddle shifter transmission.

These aluminum paddle shifters are CNC machined 6061 aluminum that is precision engineered to fit on to the stock electronic switch module. Each paddle curves in the shape of the steering wheel and is beveled to provide an easy grip and quick shift no matter where you press on it. The shifters are approximately 6 inches in length compared to the stock one which is almost 3 inches. Each paddle features a very clean engraved + and ? sign which is then available painted in either blue, red, white, or silver. The paddles come in a flat satin black anodized finish. The installation of the paddle shifters is approximately 1 hour. Paddle shifters are sold as a pair, left and right, and include the Agency Power warranty. Paddles fit the following models: Audi A3, A4, A6, A8, and Q7 2005+
