When life gives you lemons make lemonaid...... well i am in the process of buildiong up my daily drive 04 B6 1.8 T, and as I was removing the turbo inlet pipe, I saw to my dismay pieces of my mass air flow sensor (broken in the accident, I got the car as a salvage rebuild project)  lodged in the turbo! So after I ripped out all the chunks of plastic....stopped sobbing....then I realised it was the gift from the car gods I had been waiting for, an excuse to get a bigger turbo!!

So here is the question, anybody have any suggestions on where to get the setup and which one seems to be the best bang for your buck? I do not want to break the bank and will drive the car alot, so i thought a K04 upgrade with injectors and ecu upgrade. I had a 225 hp TT with the giac chip and was running 21 lbs of boost, it was quick enough for me,  so a similar setup on a B6 should do  and I wondered if you guys had any suggestions where I should get the "04 kit", turbo, injectors, hardware ecu prog etc. I looked at ecs and they seem ok but I wonder if it is available any cheaper, or a better kit for a similar cost. BTW the car has 18000 miles on it and is all stock. I have a FMIC already for it and intake, 007 DV.

dont go for a k04. 

I would obviously suggest the apr III kit being that I run it and love it, however it is not cheap.

If you are going to spend money, ATLEAST get a GTRS setup with the revo programming.  With the amount of work you are putting in the car, anything less would be a waste of time and money

3gs will get you the turbo, manifold, all the hardware, software... turbo inlet pipe, injectors, cat delete, boost controller,  etc

I wouldnt go with anything smaller or you will just regret it in the long run
