Default Advice For Turbo Upgrade

Hey everyone,

I've more or less scrolled through some of the forums looking to do some upgrades on my Audi. I have had some difficulty finding information on some of the information I have been looking for and was wondering if anybody had some insight for me.

I currently have a 2006 Audi A3 2.0t FSI engine that is stage 2 (tuned by APR) and makes 275hp and 295ftlbs of torque to the wheels. As for "engine modifications" I have a Cold Air Intake (the brand has slipped my mind but its a carbon fiber housing), and have also done a full 3" turbo back exhaust from 42 Draft Designs. The car is tuned on 93 octane, and have put on neomotorsport coilovers, and upgraded to slotted rotors front and rear.

My next steps that I know I will be doing is adding a HPFP for stage 2+. This should give the car around another 25 HP or so (according to APR). I know I will get tired of that rather quickly and am looking at possibly upgrading the Turbo. This is where I need some help.

If anybody has some advice on which turbo they would recommend (or even a few) that would be greatly appreciated. I was thinking about going a little over the top and getting myself a Garrett GT3076R turbocharger or GT3071R. The reason being is the K04 turbo kits I have seen online will only get me to around 323hp and 335lb-ft. I am already currently already tuned and running on 93 octane. For the price of the kit being over $2000.00 it does not seem all that worth it to me for a 20 ish HP gain (after the HPFP installation).

Once I finally do decide on a turbo what else is recommended to purchase along with it? I figure I will need a BOV, and a front mount intercooler, anything else come to mind?

Any information is super helpful!
Thanks in advance!
