k04 is the cheapest, gt28 definately going to be lots of pwr over stock... but its still alittle over kill on the price. 2g in upgrades to make 250+whp/300+lbs isn't bad.Originally Posted by benwaballs
1st) you pay for what you get as i said before... i dont know what kind of power your talking about? what bt kit did you have anyway? you can make power for cheaper but its going to break, go up in flames, throw codes, ect. anyway you look at it if you plan on up grading a VW/audi or any german car your paying out your ass.
2nd) k04 is a good upgrade if you wanna do dig runs but falls flat on its face on the highway. best turbo for a 1.8t right now is the gt2871 good spool great top end good price.
3rd) sell your vw and get a subie or something w/ some real power. for what i paid for my fmic on my gti i built a full turbo kit and now pull 5+ cars on my old gti on the highway and 15+ from a dig. for a little over 1,500. and it is a much better daily driver
subie is definately nice but it is a larger motor you can expect more power + its in a totally different class of car... it would be like running a vr6t. 1.8t is a great buy for the money... in the fwd class your not going to get a better bang for your buck.
