Default What would you add to the ATP GT28RS turbo kit besides custom tuning?

Obviously an optimum size FMIC, (they use a boost controller to set it at 22psi so you would need that), but other than what they tell you you need what would you add (assume clutch/big brakes/suspension/3" custom exhaust is done already)?

Im thinking:
255 l/h fuel pump (necessary?)
adjustable FPR (or 5 bar?)
perhaps a bigger fuel rail (ATP sells one)
475 or 550 cc injectors (with tuning to match, of course)
more optimum spark plugs?
some sort of heatshielding between the turbo and filter.

What do you think?

Default No it's not.

If you have any idea what you're doing, you can wire up and tune a standalone in a day.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/performance/msgs/68173.phtml">Cleek for rant</a></li></ul>

Default very true... I'll have him cruise on over, we can compare notes...

australia isn't that far away...

my point is the history of standalones on A4s is very shallow...

Default That's cause you guys are brainwashed into thinking tuning is magic.

It's not. All you need are the right tools.
