Honestly speaking for $2500 I am really tempted to do the turbo...I just need to take care of my suspension first as well as the lightened pulley as well as some well deserved maintenance before I got nutz

just get the turbo, its not going to make you powerful enough to need crazy suspension or anything. Its good to go on a stock motor. He is still making the twin throttle body. Mine is on the way (after its made), then I will be saving for a turbo kit, most likely custom, so that i can start off nonintercooled. but you might as well go twin throttle body cause the A2 turbo doesn't come with an ecu so you'll have to custom tune it anyways, might as well wait till you have all you want so you only have to make one tune.

i would really enjoy meeting up with some lancer owners sometime. i'm only two hours out of chicago.

It would be great to share some info and talk about our obsessions with people who can sympathize. This would be especially helpful because I am considering this turbo kit as well. i would love to go rrm but i don't have that money and if this kit has good customer support, then why not

The new pictures A2 has up for the turbo kit looks great. The intercooler doesnt look too big so putting the front bumper back on shouldnt be a pain. I'm gonna have this kit by this spring or summer. I'd like to get 240-250hp with the kit and that might be possible since the turbo is set at 10psi and with every one psi, you get 13hp, 250hp could be reached.

Yeah, I seen the A2 kit and I'm impressed by it. I'll be happy if I can get my auto to put down around 200 hp. Thats cheap Audi TT speed! If I could get into the low 14 or something close I will be more than happy. I just hope around tax return time they will still have the kit. $2500 plus a reflash or FMU is a lot cheaper than $4000. I'm just about sold on them...
