GT / OS - Thanks guys.....I can afford the TT, so that's not a problem, I guess I could say I was trying to "play around w/ the NA motor" and try something unique and different. I do know that I don't have the time nor the energy to deal with tuning issues, leaks, running too lean, etc etc etc.....I am a very practical person and like minimal issues in all aspects of my life. Thanks for the advice guys.....looking forward to joining the TT Crack Addicts Club in the near future.

i would be right with ya cheering you on if we were talking about a 5000$ car to try something different and throw some turbo parts at it and see where it went but i wont advise someone against what id already thought and and deemed not feasible to possibly spend 10k ona new motor cause the fuel system hiccuped and the ECU didn't have any built in safe guards and now your 30k car is sitting in the corner and your mad cause u have to drop 10k into the motor to make it sing again.


ive went the different and new route its much more challenging and time consuming and it usually involves not driving the car for months.

i spent the money on this car to drive it and enjoy the **** out of it ive logged almost 10k miles in 3months

The cost of upgrading the car to a turbo is not worth the money. I would do an exhaust exhaust upgrade with an ECU tune and you will see a noticeable power and torque increase. It wont catch up to the turbo in anyway, but you will have alot more fun driving it and enjoy the car more.
Thanks

Berk you crack me up dude! Enough of this SC/TT modding to your NA engine talk. Go buy yourself a nicely modded 6TT. I know you're actually itching for a 7TT but make that the step after this one. Go away and don't come back until you've done the deed
