depends on what the kit includes i suppose. if its complete enough i dont see why it wouldnt work, but with cis i wouldnt expect ground pounding numbers

You will still need parts to make it complete but this is a awesome starter.

Well, that system comes with turbo and exhaust manifold. You'll still need the following:
-Wastegate
-Wastegate plumbing (if the GT28 isn't an internal setup)
-Downpipe
-Boost Controller
-Intercooler (you're not running a big turbo like that without one)
-Intake Piping
-DV/BOV
-Hose couplings/Clamps (pricey)
As for the CIS-E, there's people claiming you can get upwards of 300whp with it, as long as you use various Audi/Volvo parts and a bunch of ExtraInjector Controllers. Personally, i think that method is bogus, since CIS-E is incapable of altering spark timing, and not adequate for controlling fuel in that environment.
I'd consider standalone or Digi1 for that kind of power app.

that turbo is about 3 stages too big for that motor.....if you want to spool after 5000 rpm buy that setup

the manifold is cool but that turbo is way too big for a 1.8 liter motor.... (i mean the ebay kit listed above)
i think a k04 might be a good turbo for your motor if you can get it setup correctly....

The GT28R is all the rage on the late model 1.8t's.
I'm running a .63 hot side with a Stage 2 wheel and I'm well in the boost by 4,300 rpm. Granted, I spec'd it for a 9,000 RPM redline.
Never did figure out why I kept hitting a brick wall at 8,500 rpm, but damn did it pull hard to there!
Most people should probably use a .48 hotside with a more agressive wheel. Satge 3 or 5.

K series turbos aren't that great and not the cheapest. Get a T3, it's cheaper and better.
