Absolutely love it.
The only issue I have had was the intercooler icing problem. When you try to start, the engine turns over, then stops as if the battery died. It is because there was icing in the intercooler which melts after stopping. This water collects and is sucked into the intake at start up which hydro-locks it.
It can cause trouble, but didn't for me. After a few tries, it started, ran rough till it cleared it's throat in maybe 5 seconds. I have installed a lower grill pipe insulation block. Hopefully, this will prevent it from happening again.

The Jetta's, golf's, and beetle's actually have an updated intercooler available for that, if you are still within the new extended warranty it should be covered.
