essentially, this is what the central question to this thread is. you want 300+ HP in a daily driven Gen II and your two major ideas of getting it are perhaps the two most difficult that any level-headed person could imagine.
stop trying to skate uphill. put a solid engine in the thing, choose an appropriate turbo, marry them, make them both happy and enjoy driving the car.
this was just funny, so i had to quote it. i might even have to find a way to get it into my signature.

[QUOTE=AGreen;11622494]Even a well built FC will give you trouble. I just experienced a water pump failure today, and it was only about 2 years old. I'm at the point now that almost everything is new, and even the "new" parts are starting to fail.[/QUOT
well this is my first FC. thanks for the heads up now I have one more thing to watch out for.

putting an aftermarket turbo can be complicated, just because there are so many choices, but in the old days it was pretty simple to get an HKS manifold, waste gate, and then a 60-1 T4 turbo.

But I'm going to make a new thread Ive decided to go with a s4 Turbo(stock). So the new thread will focus on swapping s4 N/A to s4 Turbo.
