My car has less than 30,000 miles on her, so I feel like a VCG swap is a long way off..... Is the job (VCG) really so bad? Why?

two shops quoted me 6-7 hours to do the MILvs job , plus 300 for the parts and another 800 for the tune ( if you don't already have BPC tune) , so 1800 $ roughly to get it done at a shop
I think that is the reason people are recommending to do it when the valve cover gasket needs to be replace.
Its not really a cheap mod unless you DIY , the good thing is that there are some tutorials already on the other thread. If you are comfortable working on your car this may be the best route. But I would def add at least a 3 stage intake to take advantage of the money you ll be paying BPC for their tune , heck even AA headers at the same time
