I just ordered "G12+" from ECS. Doesn't look like G12+ to me...<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?searchstring=es4330&amp;searchqt= byvehicle&amp;make=Volkswagen&amp;model=R32&amp;su bmodel=&amp;engine=3.2">g12+?</a></li></ul>

Default I'm just providing the pics, that's all :o)

It seems the G12plus is not at all dealerships, or maybe not specified by VWoA/AoA. I asked at two dealerships today (1 VW and 1 Audi) and both said they don't carry it, it might be in Europe only, and when asking the Audi dealership about the new cars that come with it, they said they replace with normal G12. I recall someone looking in the parts system and it showed that G12plus was superseded with G12. Odd.

Default we'll see what you get - I also didn't think it came in a gallon jug, but please reply with what you

get. That photo is surely the G12 gallon. However, I think they do list the correct cars which came with G12plus, so maybe there is a gallon avail of G12plus and ECS is just using an incorrect photo. Please let us know what you get

So I assume if you use G12+ and you're stage 3 you become stage 3+ ;-)

consensus is that it's a manlier color than the pink g12, and thus a necessary upgrade.
