what are the best turbo upgrade options for reliable fast use.. with minimal problems and cost
for a 180t fwd
is the k04 the best i dont want to swap manifolds and junk. also what is the exact number for the bolt on k04 if i were to buy it

 

GT28 RS eliminator kit from ATP would be your best bet for power and performance. It will bolt to your stock manifold, all you have to do it get a new flash for your ECU.

 

best, reliable and stock manifold should NOT be said together. You want something fast and not to costly, get a t3s60 set up. I have my old set up im selling, tubular log manifold (made by chuck @ boostfactory for me), gt28r and 3" dp. Think im going to sell it for $950 shipped if anyone is interested. It will fit stock intake and ic piping also.

 

Cincy... I call dibs on your setup (at least the downpipe). What kind of turbo is it? What kind of power did you get out of it?
