Hitachi ECU ftl! unless you went standalone, it wouldn't happen. and if your gona dump that much money into a 12v i would have to question your intelligence

yep, i was contemplating doing standalone on my 12ver. but then i was smart and bought the S4...

It completly replaces the stock ecu when it comes to running the engine. Some use stock sensors and others must use theirs. WIth this you can right your own fuel and timing maps

RE: 2.8 30v Twin Turbo

well doubt this turbo guy is ever going to come back and let us know his setup and pics and pricing considering half the people on the first page were being rude as **** and bashing his setup. If i were him i wouldnt want to help anyone here either and would probably just go somewhere else like vwvortex.com. Its too bad you guys were so quick to shun him without even a fair chance.

Cause i really am interested in his setup....Ive always thought just a pes supercharger was in my future...but if i can turbo for less than the PES then i would do that.

we weren't bashing anyone. just asking for proof. its an all custom setup anyway. if you couldn't do the same in the first place, seeing his work isn't really gona help anything. you just need to find a place for the turbo(s) and custom weld all the piping yourself. its been done before.

I think if you made a kit like that, and you had several different kit options like UpstateNYA4 has said, you should also include the option for upgraded internals and compression-dropping gaskets and such, for those who want ludicrous power. I agree that the kit would be absolutely pointless if it didn't include (or have available) matching engine management.

Also, what about us 12vers? Would it really be impossible to come up with something similar for the 12v 2.8?

Meh, thought I'd at least bring it up. I'm aware the Hitachi ECU is useless. I guess it still stands that the only valid high-performance option for a 12v A4 is to wait until the engine dies (at 250,000 miles

) and then do a VR6-T conversion!
