PSI is irrelevant without knowing how many CFM u wanna push. You can run a turbo the size of your head at 5 PSI and put out 350 or a GTSR at 25 PSI. IT's all in how u run your set up. So what turbo you plan on running?

I plan on buying a 2001 1.8t a4 in the next 2 months or so
i want to upgrade the the turbo, and add a few mods too it
and maybe getting it pushing out about 18-20psi
i know its going to take a bit of money and a lot of rebuilding the engine(or so ive heard)
but i was just wondering what exactly will need to get done and what some good companys are for the parts[/align]

I've had all 4 of my coil packs go out... They all died about 4 - 6 months apart from one another ... I've been chipped from 0 miles and have been modding since, When i got the K04 upgrade then it killed the other 2 coil packs
I'm make believe

Where do you get your preventive maintence info from? Change em 2 aftermarket b4 they do,before your stranded on the side of the road,before the $100 tow fee,$300 shop charge and 2 days of carless agravation. It is fairly common for a chip alone 2 blow orginal coilpacks within a few weeks.

you only need to replace the packs if they die.

Some yes others had them spewing smoke and they went despite the gap down if you searched for the topic as much as i did b4 buyin the car.
And EVERY single person didnt gap the plugs down to .028 from .032 and they have constant misfires in higher rpms and go strait for the packs since they are known to fail easy. If you ever read the threads instead of post usless **** you would know these things.

Your not going to spew smoke do to bad coilpack or 2. You can search all you like, but your probably finding useless post like yours and taking it as facts.

RE: Couple Questions about modding
so when i upgrade the turbo i will need a turbo-back exhaust? correct?
and i was reading in the newbie guide about a test pipe but i cant do that leggaly if i live in a place with emissions tests?
well i live in alberta canada and i dont think i can put a test pipe
so i was wondering which route to go and which company would offer a good turb-back
i looked on borla's website but i only saw cat-back,
lol sorry im still a newbie just trying to learn
