I bought it off ebay for like 125 but I have the whole bra just never used the whole thing lol

Its fun haha I'm spanking a lot of cars mustang gts, civic si's, audi 3.0s. Plus I can take my car to a car show n win something. Plus the BOV hits everywhere and that was the whole point of me doing this. Just make sure you spend the extra money on ur tranny (tranny cooler and better atf fluid) and a good tune, those made the biggest difference in my turbo build.

UPDATE: Working on finding a wrecked manual tC now. Getting the turbo-back exhaust in spring. Cars away for winter though so probably end of March it will be back out. Bought a red underglow kit for the footwells, obx pedals, razo shift **** and an s2k antenna.... sure something else. Also getting a koyo radiator and ptuning fans and powder coating the pipes black and the valve cover wrinkle red.

OP, where did you get the turbo tuning? I'm from Syracuse, NY and very hesitant of installing a turbo kit on my RS5 because I don't know where to get the tune. I see you're down in Binghamton, so I thought I'd ask.

Nice looking car btw

I went to PTuning only place I'd really recommend I had to trailer my car there though its 6 hrs from me but there truley isnt much around here I couldn't find one decent place anywhere. I spent a month searching for a place to go and I just finally spent the extra money to go to PTuning which was where I wanted to go all along but didn't want to make the trip.

I figured you'd say that, but was hoping for the best. How much did it cost you to get your car shipped back & forth? And do you make repeat trips for subsequent tunes?

Awesome man on the tranny swap. If you could try and take some pictures when you do that actual swap it would be very much appreciated

I'm pretty interested in your swap too, especially how much more power you're able to tune for.

I've been looking into a turbo for my AT lately, I'd rather it be intercooled but I'd be happy with a stage-0 for a bit I expect.

I know its guna be closer to 300 but I'm doing a descendant intake manifold bigger injectors, ptuning turboback exhaust, koyo radiator, meth injection so shud be over 300 possibly have a nitrous kit just incase if I start to lose I'm blowing the whole motor jkjk

I really like my turbokit for an auto but I have 2 cars and I would rather have one stick then 2 autos.
