thats a rip off

just build your own kit..
gt2871r is pretty nice, if u want quick spool, and a decent power gain.
or go with a 30 series, and go big...


ok. here is a better question for you..
what are u looking to spend. and what kind of power do u want??
that will really determin alot.
and help us out with answering ur question..
cause a ko4 is honestly not worth the 1k u spend on it..

I'm at about 200-225hp now. I have upgraded the n75, dv/bov, and adjusted the oem ecu. I get full boost from 3k-4.5k, but the IC & turbo are too small to keep up for long. The car is fairly light and nimble, so it's plenty of power for tearing up the twisties.

I'd like to sustain 300-350hp from 3k+ without loss over time or initial lag. This is my DD so it has to be reliable & practical.

Money isn't an issue, but I dont want to put a ton into an 8yr old car... $5k for engine + new clutch. I'm also getting r8 rims, porche big brake kit, and possably body kit & paint. At the moment, my right hand is shattered with 7 pins in it, so fabrication isn't a real option for me.

hm, well i would say a gt28rs or gt2871r would give u that power range with out worrying about lag so much.. and not having to spend alot of money to get to that power range..

the GT2871 would be the perfect turbo BUT he wants full boost from 3k rpm and up. Id go with the GT28rs. A little smaller. Should be able to make 300-325 on pump and around 350~ on race gas. Dont forget to do rods..

I have a slighly modified Passat. I am picking up a K04 from someone at my work for basically nothing. A Passat is sort of a waste to think of making big power. Its a heavy car and just not worth the time. I am going to have the K04, intercooler, with a manual boost controller and will be good for every day cause I know it will not be a beast but will be a good everyday car!!!
