. The MQB is not only a money saver for VW, but also for the aftermarket companies that specialize in these newest platforms."We're at over 20,000 units of intakes on the Mark Seven Jetta and Golf, we've adopted all of that stuff through to the U.S.," said Matt.Since their transition more towards that street-race market, RaceLine has held on to a different approach to their parts.
Sam also added:"Our center of gravity is centered around the MQB platform with the Golf GTI, Jetta GLI, Golf R, Audi S3, and European only models like the Seat Leon Cupra.
