Let me put this differently than my last post. (02'a4 1.8t w/apr stage1+ w/supposed 228 HP on 93 octane). I finally have the money i need to purchase a bigger turbo with "other" components without totally breaking me. My goal is to be pushing 340HP+ and the garret turbos from http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/me...egory_Code=GRT
seem to be pretty mean. Basically I have $4000 to spend and want to know what I could do with this budget to get the power I want. Any suggestions on Audi/VW tuning companies that could help me select my components and install them.

 

I would suggest this http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/me...egory_Code=GRT
Then you need everything to support it. FMIC, Injectors, Fuel pump, software/tune. With this added hp you are gonna need a new clutch.

 

why did you create a new thread? again read my newbie guide. if you want 350 crank hp get a gt28rs. the full parts list you'll need is in the guide.

 

yep, the guide will have all the info you need in making your decision.

4k wont get you there man. it will pretty much be almost double that after all is said and done.

 

$8,000? ya, maybe if you're including suspension, brakes and wheels..

but if you're talking

turbo kit
clutch
software/injectors
FMIC w/piping
and exhaust(which sounds like he already has)

he should be able to do it for between $4000-5000, easy

 

I dont know it would be close. Depends if hes actually installing them himself or not.
Educated guesses below:

turbo kit: 2,000 bucks(depending on which kit), before labor
clutch/flywheel : 1,300 bucksbefore labor
software & injectors: 800 bucks
FMIC: 1,000 bucksbefore labor.

So roughly 5,100 will get him there BEFORE Labor cost.

 

if u want almost bullet proof turbo kit i suggest u got wit the APR stage 3+

or if u want something cheaper get this

come wit most of the stuff u need

 

I went with www.rennart.com. I got the gt2871r with software and a revo select+tuner for around $3400. My clutch went out a while ago so I went ahead and saved myself some trouble and upgraded when i replaced the fried clutch. The southbend clutch with labor was about $950. Exhaust w/short throw shifter was $875 w/free shipping! I also saved some money by buying apr's turbo inlet pipe for $159, whereas neuspeed wanted $299[:@] I did an ebay custom FMIC and saved a bunch. The core with piping cost me a little under $200, but gave me a nice headache when doing the custom fitting. I started another thread about A/F ratio guages. Any suggestions?
