My car blows a bit of gray smoke sometimes too, I don't worry about it cause I still get a full 4 quarts out when I change the oil and all my fluid levels are always where they should be.

What's gonna happen is they will not be able to recreate the smoke because they won't even push the car. When you say "no it happens when i beat on it" they will not cover it or flag your warranty for abuse of the car.
Find a VW dealership where you know someone who can turn a blind eye and fix it, though it's really not a problem.

BTW Santosh, these claims you make of 250whp to the wheels with stage 1, and being faster than me with stage 1, I can't find any evidence of this online...I saw a AGP? Stage 1 GLI with a carbonio intake make 206whp...MKV too...and DSG....
Cliff notes: I'm callin you out once you get Stage 1.

Sounds like a PCV problem, which is synonymous with the FSI's. If you take it to the dealer, they will cover it under warranty with a "revised" setup, but it will only fail again later on down the road. We've seen it happen a hundred times. You could go with the Eurojet PCV Fix that has been working for thousands of customers for over 3 years now.

OK, be that as it may, that's still in a nearly 3300lb car thats FWD...I can't imagine a 13 second pass out of that.
