Ok, found a shop that can install a turbo and fabricate a new down pipe. Questions:
The shop is local and only works on VW and Audi, Well known here locally (Wolf DMS).
The guy told me that he can put in any turbo and if necessary will fabricate a custom down pipe, which I heard was the reason why the after market turbos (GT28RS) are an issue.
He told me that if I was to go with the Garret turbo, then I would have to get Garret sofware for my car.
He also said that he can put in a Neuspeed turbo upgrade and use the Neuspeed software. I'm wondering if Neuspeed has anything larger than the K04 sport.
Anyhow, now that there is a shop that can take care of the down pipe issue, what are your suggestions? Which turbo, and is it worth the trouble? Could I run into something that I may terribly regret? TIA!

Local shops are great>>
Richards Performance Mufflers, the shop that did my exhaust, will build-to-suit. The day i was getting my system done, a guy came in with a turbo supra and two Garrett turbos that he wanted put on. Richard had no problem making custom flanges for the garretts to fit onto the stock manifolds and the downpipes. Support your local shops, you just might find you need sponsorships some day

Just so you know...
Garrett <a href="http://www.egarrett.com">the turbo company</a>, and Garrett <a href="http://www.GIACusa.com">the tuner</a> (GIAC), are two different and unrelated companies. Just disregard this if you already knew.
Revo is supposedly making a "Big Turbo" software program, but who knows when that will be released. Upsolute is also working on a big turbo program that, I'm willing to bet, will be released before the Revo program. I think the Upsolute code is being developed through some Canadian company (since Up is based in Europe). If you really want to know, I can probably track down some contact info on VWVortex.
