Next time..... The NC kit should be running in a week or so. Waiting on the turbo.
Corky is working on a cast version of the S4 manifold. But it is still a ways off. It would sit lower and have longer runners than the manifold pictured above.
Compressor is clocked upward for simplicity. Corky has designed a universal actuator mount, so re-clocking the turbo should not be too much of a hassle. I'll post more photos if IC upgrade later today.

A better manifold, better downpipe, and a better turbo, as well as BEGI quality on the rest of the stuff for an extra $300 over new or $700 over used?
Seriously, can anyone in good conscience here recommend a GReddy kit, new or used, ever again?

The 2554R on the 1.8 is sweet. I'm getting 6psi by 3000rpm and I think my wastegate actuator needs a little adjustment. Capable of 220-230whp or more as well. Eliminate the intercooler and you'll see even better spool.

New Budget BEGI turbo systems. WOOHOO.
I am excited about this. It's been discussed and in the making for a while and I think these will be perfect for alot of people. I would have been all over this about a year ago. There are options for 1.6l and 1.8l with 99+ coming soon. Awesome manifold, Awesome turbo, Awesome quality, Awesome upgrade path, and Awesome price. 40-50% power increases over stock.
