sounds like you should go with a k04, you will need injectors, fpr, and program wither p16 or j31 depending on what your car is, a FMIC is also a good thing and you will need to have it with the more agressive files

There are quite a few different turbo / tune set-ups out there.
This is a decision that will require a bit of research.
GIAC / REVO / APR all make different tuned variations and a lot of it has to do with what you're trying to achieve, what the budget is, how relaible the setup, and which year and model of Audi you have.

With some bad *** tuning you might get VERY close.

Ko4 is actually the best bang for the buck when you look at the GIAC files. You can build a kit for around 1000$ if you search hard on the different forums.

PC16,J31, and the new HAMMER file for the 01 (ch boxes) are agressive files for the ko4 setup.

My thought on that is, y not just keep saving. because i am goign off ot college in a year, y not keep some money on the side so that when i get out of college, i can put it together to get a better kit that will give me 300-350 HP. ive learned over this time that if i am going to put bank down on something, ill save till i get the best or very near. because if you but, then upgrade the same part. a lot more money is spent and time wasted. there is my 2 cents

weeeeeeeeeee
