gt3071r
GT2871R
GT28RS
T3 Super 60
T3/T4
missing some im sure

There are alot of options out there. The K04 swap is just the simplest turbo swap for these cars. There is tons of info that you can search for on vwvortex.com if you want to look at alot of different peoples opinions on diff setups. Also fyi I think the gt28rs is the turbo on the APR stage 3 kit.

x2. Just keep in mind its not as easy as just buying a new turbo. Fuel pump, injectors, etc., etc.

Go with a GT3071 from ATP.
Along with typical bolt-ons, all available from ATP (intake, exhaust, FMIC, injectors, tuning, etc) you can make over 360whp on pump and 400whp on race fuel.
