ATP Turbo Owners, Impressions?
Hi all,
Is there anyone out there running the Turbo Kit from ATP?
I'm curious to know how well the kit works, both installation and performance.
I've been on the fence about whether to go T28, K04 or Stage III
My primary concerns are 1. Reliability 2. Low RPM performance and 3. Overall performance.
Thanks, much appreciated.

Re: ATP Turbo Owners, Impressions?
Based off my experiences, biginning about two years ago, using individually purchased parts, to work with a T3/T4E purchased from ATP.
I think once you get an ATP kit, you'll be on an endless road to making it run right, smoother, more streetable, etc. Reliability? Maybe eventually. Low RPM performance, no. Overall performance, yea once it's tuned/finished(hasn't happened yet). I personally have had great experiences with ATP staff, but I've understood I'm the exception. Also, the software seems more of a place to start tuning. Not just a "kit" that anyone can install in a few hours.
Now, I haven't seen/heard/experienced any of thier newer stuff....

They sponsor and built the 1.8T in my friend's GTI
I'll let you know how the power levels turn out on it. It's a 1.8T bored to 2.0, forged everything, built euro head, custom GT30R turbo, FMIC, etc...

ATP is more geared toward "no compromise" setups.....
you want an all out badass high HP 1.8t that will kick 90% of the others out there, & you are willing to cope with some tuning woes. go ATP
if you want to throw the kit on, have it run off the bat & forget about it..then go with one of the tuners with "Staged" kits ie.. PES/APR
But.... from what ive heard through the grapevine, ATP is working on a Plug & Play option that will compete with the other tuners setups @ a very nice price
