What Next??
If I do decide to upgrade my turbo, what would I need to replace in order for everything to still function well as a daily driver? I have heard the high pressure fuel pump would need to be replaced, hopefully not the transmission but would i need to upgrade my clutch and brakes?
Atp is only $2750 but you would need to add the fuel stuff but it would still be cheaper than the more expensive APR kit.
Stock brakes would be fine. I would just go ahead and get the APR rebuilt or new fuel pump and get the free upgrade to stage 2 plus on your software. You are probably going to be closer to 20hp with that mod. That may be enough to hold you a while and it's cheap compared to the turbo. I would skip the K04 turbo as it will only get you another 30 horse over stage 2 plus so the money is better spent on the larger turbo.
I really couldn't say. Most tuners have different clutch setups they all swear by. Shop around. APR has them and i'm sure REVO or ATP has them or can direct you somewhere. I have not had a stick in many years so I have not had to buy one since like 1998. Back then I was heavy into DSM's and everyone would use ACT pressure plates and stock disks. It would keep a stock feel with big grip. Not sure what the kids use these days. lol
