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.
