i'm trying to learn here, so please quit inciting a flaming contest.

You just did the very thing by posting this smartass comment. If you don't have anything constructive to post about the topic that I have inquired about, then please begone.

Not gonna lie...your intent on this forum is to just throw a wrench in everyone's post and see it fail...is that your job as site moderator???
Compressor wheels, turbine wheels? or would you be speaking of VGT (Variable Geometry) Turbo's?
It is obviously NOT the same stupid thing as compound turbo...compound turbo uses a larger turbos compressor feeding a smaller turbo, and Twincharging, obviously DOES NOT. It IS however a method of Compound Forced Induction, which both fall into that category.
The reason that I was even entertaining the idea is partly due to my love for group B rally cars, especially the Lancia Delta HF Integrale, but also due to the location of the Intake Manifold on the TT, and the possibility of wedging in a small Eaton M62 or M45 into the bay.
Now if you want to discuss the topic rather than flame it to submission then I welcome you to contribute to the thread.
Cheers

But like i said, if you want to do it to say you did it, feel free and have your 15mins. As for me "throwing a wrench in everyones posts," I have been a long time member here and the most involved person on this board. I have seen just about everything on here and it drives me crazy when noobs come on here with the same ******* questions that have been discussed all the time since they are to stupid to use the search feature. Its topics like this and people like you why i spend almost no time here these days and discuss REAL topics elsewhere with true enthusiast.

since, as they say, 1 pic is worth 1,000 words, notice that ~300 ft-lbs torque is available at < 1800 rpm, with a stock tfsi & stage 1 APR tune.
i just got this on my 2010tt & it feels as quick, off the mark, as my 11sec, NA, V8 RX7.

I say go for it. Too many opinions out there all boiling down to 'If you don't do it the way I would do it, your stupid'.
I have a little project started myself, and I often get flak for it because there's 'easier ways to make horsepower'. Well yeah, that may be true, but theres only so many ways to make low end torque and horsepower, and thats what Im after.

Its sad Matt that you are still bitter.
Low end tq is only need in one gear, after that, whats the point unless you want to stay below 5k. These new turbos out now with HUGE compressor maps are already extending power by over 1k rpms. The only good way to make the best powerband is more disp, either a 2-2.2L or swap in a VR6 or spend a bit more time and money for a motor with an actually good flowing head in a 2.5 inline 5 and turbo that. For anything in the 400whp range, a 1.8t is a great motor.

Yes money's is a bit of an issue, since I have already shelled out nearly $3k for suspension components within the last month, but I could snake a small Eaton M45, M62, or M90 for next to nothing comparatively to the cost of a stroked motor or a larger turbo.
