You see PCV get thrown around quite a lot on these boards as well, given how likely the OEM unit is to crap out. :mad0259:
Positive Crankcase Ventilation (valve).

Also CAI - Cold Air Intake.

Not really drivetrain related, but there's all the colors which most members tend to abbreviate (BMP, CW, UG, TR, RS and CF).

Does DSG count? :lol:

BMP = Black Magic Pearl
and I think CF was intended to be Carbon Fiber (not a VW color so to speak, but parts like valences and Spoilers are available in CF)

there are also some abbreviations that specify which version of the GTI engine you have....I don't know them by heart, but I've seen them floating around. It gets pretty confusing, so hopefully someone Savvy can give us a breakdown.

O and you may want to add CAI - cold air intake (otherwise known as FOS - "Filter On a Stick")

Here's a link to someone who explains horsepower and torque pretty thoroughly. Should help you get some definitions for them, and I didn't think it was too hard to understand. But then again I am the guy who liked physics, haha.
