Well...they look like this:




Um...here's an '02 Allroad with the following mods:

Turbos up there ^^^^^^
tuning
Piggies
cat-back
IPP IC's

on a stock clutch.
FWIW, mine shows weighing in at 4076lbs on my title.

I like how the stang looks like he's about to put it into the wall.

Isn't 2650 insanely cheap? What's the catch?

Chris Tapp is making a name for himself. In the VW turbo world its really him and UNI. GAIC and APR need to start pushing the envelope again.

Jason-

Do this it would be the ultimate grocery getter/ shop car.


2002 Audi TT ---> 600awhp project due to complete sometime in the not to distant future.

Well, for those not doing the work themselves, the 30 hour labor bill is a bit tough to swallow. That, plus fueling, plus programming, plus inlets, not taking all of the other small parts into consideration, still ends up retailing for somewhere in the $8k range. However, also considering that a regular old K04 swap would run the same money or damn close, this is a GREAT option. Not as big as their 650R kit, but this works well with stock internals.

Not always a pump, but bigger injectors, FPR, + MAF at least. Some of the kits also include a better airbox and accordion hose. Then the tune for everything.

Yes, exactly. This setup will work fine with a stock pump

Definitely. At least a Southbend Stage II like mine, although with this kit, it might be better to step up one level over that, which ends up being another $750, plus a bit of labor, even with the powertrain already out.

for a boy racer stg3 clutch, for the average person who's not going to utterly beat his car, i would be happy with the stg2 kevlar from southbend and know if it slips it won't be welded to my flywheel or pressure plate. (i forget which side is which on the disc)
