Default Turbo ist kaput

So...audi recons my turbo is done for. They think that the seal is blown inside it so oil is leaking into it, explaining my carboned up exhause and that ruined the O2 sensor making the car freak out. Now, i want big turbo, but at this point in time, i cant afford to go big turbo, and get an intercooler and all the supporting crap. I want a gt28rs, i wanted to go with APR but their so d@mn expencive. im lost here...

it can, but this is a problem that isnt too common. chipping your car will increase the wear but there are guys on here that have been chipped for a long a$$ time and not had things break. if something breaks while chipped, it was going to break anyway, it just went a little sooner because of the chip

So im heavily considering the GT28RS kit from ATP-turbo

That setup is about 2.4k, and im pretty sure with that i will go Unitronics, but im not sure what injector size to get. also, i cant find their website again for the life of me
