S4 Turbo w/ V-Band Clamps in the works
The turbo is here, the wastegate is here, the v-band clamps are here - let the fun begin.
We will be making a S4 turbo system with all v-band clamps. The turbo is a beauty! The manifold will be made of cast weld elbows and ceramic coated. More photos will be posted later.
No, it is not for sale yet. If fitment and testing goes well, we will make an S4 externally gated kit for the 1.8L cars.

It is about an extra $200 in pieces to make it work. (not including the cost of the turbine housing) That is one of the downsides, and why it is not more popular. But each person has to weight the pro and cons for themselves to see if it is worth it. For serious track guys with studs loosening, it may be a god send. For the street car user, it won't matter one way or the other.
We are using a GT2860 w/ 0.64 AR and the Tial stainless turbine housing.
