Well i dont know this "dealer" on ebay but i do know atpturbo and the price is the same. So for ME i would go with atp without even thinking twice about it. That listing could even be atptrying to reach out to other customers or a employee of them trying to get more $$.Eitherway I like the security of a well know company. Just my .02

Lol why do you think this is a good deal??? You can get the same thing from Renn-Art for cheaper, plus if you folks in the states buy this you will have to pay duty on it when it crosses the border.

CAI = Cold Air Intake.
You really should open up the air box in someway since you will be sucking a whole lot more in. Even if you do the swiss cheese fender DIY

I got the garrett 3071R and I love it. I did get the injectors and software package, and the software sucks big time. DO NOT GET THE SOFTWARE it has caused me lots of problems. I am going to go with engine management.

Still trying to figure out why this is a "must see!"...

Southcoast please do not buy this...you can buy the turbo for 200 buck cheaper from Renn-Art, plus, assuming you live in the USA, you might as well tack on another $400 for duty when it crosses the border. If you live in Canada, then shoot me a PM and I'll send you some links to canadian suppliers.

lol ya im pretty sure renn-art sells it for cheaper. and they are an established company who can give you aftersales support, something you normally cant get if you buy off ebay. also a lot of stuff thats floatin around on ebay now-a-days is fake. there's a guy on audizine right now who's selling a fake ebay gt2x that he got from a trade. most likely someone bought it on ebay thinkin he was gettin a killer deal only to find out it was a poorly made knock off. there's a lot of great deals on that site, but it also comes with a risk.

I agree about the paying more for duty across borders. No reason since you can find it cheaper in the US - We don't know who their programing is through with atp. It doesn't even say on their site - it says MIKA tuned? who is that? Renn-Art is $200 cheaper - but they also charge $890 for programing and another $250 for injectors. When I look at their GTRS Kit for $3395 - I added up all the parts and I only get $3060???

This is a state-of-the-art, dual ball bearing Garrett turbo package, injectors, FPR, a high flow exhaust manifold, 3in MAF, and UNITRONIC ECU tuning for the B5 A4.
All Prices are from Renn-Art
GTRS - 1395.95
FPR - $70
Injectors - $250
Manifold - 325
MAF - 130
Program - 890

total =3061[sm=WTFsgign.gif]

it really wasnt a "must see" it was a catch to get some input before i purchase it. I do want to upgrade turbo, what would have more power output a KO4 or the GTRS? what do you guys think
