Default A good turbo upgrade?

Alright so for the last few months ive been looking at getting a 04-05 S4. but now i decided that i really dont want to deal with gas (pretty lame excuse i know!) but its kind of a pain. So i decided that i want to get a 06-07 A4 2.0t.. the thing is i dont know that much about turbos... so i was wondering what turbos are out there that would work the best with stock internals. ive kinda read up on the GT28r71? and it seems to kick *** a bit,and i would be getting this after i get full exhaust, intake, chip ect.. so any information you guys have i would really appreciate, and any guestiments on what power output would be, would be cool too. Thanks guys.

and i know theres a search function.. i just dont get half the sh*t people are saying lol.

i cant find it, but if you search around im sure you can find it.... it talks about 4 or 5 different turbo set-ups and what other internals etc you will have to upgrade along with it.... seemed pretty helpful to me... ill try looking again when i get more time

The GTI/GLI is getting all to love right now. The KO4 from APR does make ~300whp. From what i have seen it will be worth the wait since the 2.0T's have shown to begreat performers with turbos in the gt30 series

thanks guys, ive seen other turbo upgrades for the B7 but after all of them they say FWD so would it really matter if the kit says FWD?
