Default Turbo upgrade suggestions/other questions

I found this turbo kit...
http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ATP-VVW 151&Category_Code=VVWTK

Is this a good choice?? if so, I know I need a chip(APR is my choice), injectors(what type), inlet pipe, boost gauge/controller, DV......... is there anything else that I am leaving out??? I also plan on upgrading the pulleys.

Has anyone heard of NEX SS coilovers? Are they all right to use??

Where can I get a good quality RS4 body kit? Is fiberglass, polyurathane, or other material the way to go?

Please help I am in the need for a whole lot more speed!!!!!

Well, that wasnt a link to a turbo kit, but i suggest going to www.awe-tuning.com and select ur car and look at their turbo kit. i trust them

and go to www.goapr.com and check out their kit. Both are reliable and well made.

we have a solution for you, as well. it's the GTRS kit with unitronic tuning.

this past wednesday i ran 13.5@104 with a bad launch (a simple 1.9 60ft) on pump gas tuning!

with a 1.7 60ft it would have been a 13.1 (judging from the trap speed).. and it was on regular 93oct with street tuning and street boost (20psi).

with race gas and 25psi and a little more timing added to it (5-6 degrees), this kit will run 12's with no problem at all! we should have a video of this very soon.

call tony and tell him you saw it on audiforums and you get 10% off regular price (the GTRS kit is $3207 for the B5 with unitronic tuning)!

Besides what comes with our package, you need the following:

- upgraded diverter valve (we recommend Hyperboost HX)
- test pipe or high flow cat
- turboback exhaust
- front mount intercooler (FMIC)
- gauges (boost minimum)

---> a very solid installer!! please don't do it yourself unless you're a mechanic.. it's not recommended!!

recommended to do at the same time:

- clutch upgrade (we recommend the RA4 stg2 or 3 kit.. see our website)
- motor mounts (both the transmission stabilizer bar as well as the snub mount)
- suspension and brake upgrades

* we can supply you with everything above *
