    What are some reputable brands that do after market for VW? I was always Honda/Acura so I dont know crap about VW. Thats what forums are for right? I was told that intake is a bad idea for turbo VW, but then again that guy didn't even drive one. So you guys help me out and let me know whats up. By the way do you know if that shop, the one you know that does the software, do you know if they have the Flashloader? Its a handheld flash programmer that lets you switch back and forth between programs. LMK

    dude call up EPG 770-794-7240 and talk to Brian, tell him Paul sent you from IA.... they will guide you in the right direction. my 1.8t made some of the highest numbers on stock turbo.... good companys to go w/...

    Software - GIAC they have a full handheld multiprogram setup thats what i had and it fucking rules!!!

    Intake - EVO CAI

    divertorvalve - EVO

    downpipe + hiflo cat - techtonics tuning

    exhaust - i had custom 2.5" + flomaster muffler

    fmic - greddy

    etc etc etc etc.....

    you can easily make 225whp/290lbs on stock turbo; i will tell you software is the key and EPG is the local GIAC dealer... GIAC is the most aggressive software you can get for 1.8t (IMO)... if you want to see some dyno's let me know i have access to apr, revo, upsolute, and giac dynos all done on the same dyno in the same running conditions.

    thanx but i sold my 1.8t to LowJack on here... Scott, he also has that sick ass 350z blue one w/ all of the mods... he made my SPOOLDU his BTRCAR lol

    there are quite a few places that can do an exhaust for you; shit any GOOD muffler shop can. i have a shop i can send you too if your up in the Gnett area; he did my setup 2.5 custom piping cat back to single in/out flowmaster w/ a turndown tip (turndown b/c it hid the muffler /// my bumper didn't have the exhaust cut out) i dyno'd 5hp/11lbs w/ this setup , and it would cost anyone approx 250$

    I would definately like to see those dyno comparisons. Also how does your exhaust sound? I was thinking about doing that but I dont know which muffler to get and I dont know where a mandrel bending shop is. I used to have an APEXi on my GSR and I liked the way it sounded. It was deep and not raspy. I appreciate you helping me out.
