The reason is that the TT 's have a vacuum assisten clutch booster which is next to impossible to install under the dash without ripping the car apart.
The NA rear end with automatic .48 AR turbos (yes 5spd and auto turbos differ) is the best combo out there... it makes the car actually move.

the motor has the stock 5spd turbos and an aftermarket intercooler (memory is failing me, pretty sure it is a front mount) and it was making 356 at the wheels at 15 pounds.
I don't have a whole lot of cash to work with, considering this wasn't exactly a planned thing, but I'd like to do some little stuff while I've got the motor out of the car. "they" say a set of bigger injectors and you can up the boost to 17 (some say up to 20) with no problems. Any word on how true that is?
any other suggestions for some little stuff and/or stuff that should be done with the motor out of the car? I already have the knock sensor on the list.
thanks!
