Re: Dual ICs (TurboBeetle1)
ECS Tuning sells the kit for $895. It fits Golf/Jetta/GTI MkIV cars but does NOT fit the New Beetle to my knowledge. The unit takes the stock IC system from 70% effectiveness to about 90% efficiency.
As for what Axe said, unless you add a big turbo, just a good SMIC replacement might be sufficient, true. However, I ran a stock turbo on my SMIC for quite some time, and now have only a slightly larger turbo. I'd say the dual-IC is good for anyone, but financially more worthwhile after other mods have come and gone!
