I don't understand why people get so much enjoyment out of adding ridiculous poll choices....I hope we get rid of them soon.

Don't forget to budget in some money for an LSD and possible clutch....
Oh and a fuel pump

you can build your own kit for 2000$, easily...
t3/t4 - 500$ or so
exhaust manifold - 225$
fmic - 900
injectors -550

that's a decent start but you'd either need some software for it or a fuel rail with additional injectors and a corresponding controller. Plus some time on the dyno for testing/tuning. I have no doubt you can pull this off for cheap (look at billy's setup) but I can't see it happening for less than 2K

ATP, all the way!

Re: Which turbo kit is everyone getting? (GTi 1.8T)

Problem for me is that I need a car with as little "lag" as possible as drag racing doesn't intice me as much as just a simply quick car in any gear at any RPM. I do believe the APR will have a quicker spool time than ATP. I really need to drive both

Excuse my ignorance, but what is an LSD?

Uh, you are forgetting to mention a lot of things. Custom oil/water lines, software, install. Heck the parts you list add up to $2175.
My point is there's a reason why ATP, APR, etc kits cost $3-4k...
Just in case someone has missed it, here's my post regarding the TT K04 kit.

an LSD= Limited Slip Differential (at least thats what we call it in the 4x4 world) its a traction device to limit slippage.

Limited Slip Differential...with the power of a Stage 3+ kit, you'll most likely bust your stock Differential drag racing or driving hard.
