Time to pull the trigger - what is the best "full" upgrade package?

I've currently got a chip and exhaust, but I think I'm gonna take this bad boy to the next level. I just love the TT and I plan on keeping it a long time ...

I don't want to start any debates regarding specific tuners - I'm semi-close to IA so I'll probably just drive up there and stay the night while they work on it, and hopefully drive back the next day.

What I'm trying to figure out is how far can I go without having to worry about my motor blowing up, if we leave the internals stock?

I'm talking to the tuners directly but would love to hear from the board as to what's the general consensus on this.

The GT640 is probably your best bet. We've done 3 of those recently and it's truly a bolt on and wickedly fast. You don't need anything other than turbos, a fuel pressure regulator, headers, exhaust, dv's, filter and programming.

Yeah, what he said.

If you want the source, and you are close to IA, call the doc himself and ask about it. He'll lay out a plethora of options for you. Kind of like walking down the cafeteria line. Then you have to wipe the drool, and check the wallet, and JUST DO IT.

Yeah, exactly what they both said. I have the package that Alex is talking about and my car put out 553rwhp and 571 ft/lbs of TQ. BTW, Steve from Imagine Auto did my car as well.


He is the best.
