Who had the custom T3/T4 turbo?
Would you do it again?
Any specs?
Price quotes on expected manufactring of exhasut manifold?
How to controll turbo boost, electric boost controller, manually change wastegate?
Hows lag?
Any major problem with Quattro limits? 5-spd? internals?

Look at spending close to $6000-$8000 for that kind of performance...

Default Well

S4 chipped would do the trick, but the car is heavier.

APR Stage III on your existing ride would also work. There are a few guys on the board running the kit and it seems sweet. In the distant future I may consider the same.

A T3/T4 would prob have a lot of lag, but would scream uptop. Great for drag racing, not sure how well it would do on the street.

Good luck,

It would do great on the street and not that much lag.

Default I hope so!

I want more than the K04, but less money than a GT25...

This is long term timeframe though (measured in years >8^<).

Can't wait to see though, hehe.

Default How do you know? Have you ever driven a Stage III

It amazes me how many people post what they speculate the kit to be until they actually drive it. Anand is confirmed believer now after going with Ed.

Default Um, did you read what I said about APR Stage III?

Hello,

It seems you are referring to my comment on lag for the street? The lag comment was related to a custom T3/T4 turbo kit. A lot of Honda guys have this turbo, and it makes monstrous power (250 HP at the WHEELS at 6 psi, street cars making over 400 HP at the wheels). Course, most of the power is from 4000 up, which isn't really a problem when you rev to 8000.

All I said about APR Stage III was that I hope to own it in the distant future. This is why I chose the APR chip for my Stage I mod, I hope to use the $500 discount, hehe.

Personally, I would love to own a car that makes over 300 HP at the wheels, and I would not mind if I had to keep the revs up to get the most out of it. I speculate (since I haven't had the joy of riding in a Stage III car yet >8^<) that an APR Stage III would be perfect for me and the way I drive.

Take care,

FB
