First, welcome to the site. Second, read the FAQ in my sig and then do some searching on this site to help answer that question. I will say the RRM kit is expensive for a reason and you should be sure that the first kit actually includes everything you need.

if u know what you are doing, then getting the tsi kit will be a good option since its intercooled for that price, but still you have to consider that you will have everyting in the kit, but if you don't really know much in installing components then rrm kit would be good for ya since they have good instructions, many members have the kit and there are tutorials, plus good customer service from rrm

Well i was planning on having it installed at a shop, along with a stage 2 clutch... since i am not to car savy (i could strip a quad/dirtbike like its my job, but...) that being said, are the RRM instructions easy enough for a person with little knowledge of cars?

amby i have read your FAQ multiple times and the more i read things on this site and look around, the more i under stand, so thank you for the very informative post.

The RRM instructions are pretty clear and understandable. You do need to tap the oil pan and I believe do some other fabbing to install it though.

i would definetly agree with Mirage2.0!!!!
If you are gonna go with RRM i would say! go ahead! I have owned RRM's Turbo and also an custom kit!! if the money wasn't issue i would go with RRM and if you was to save some money i would rather go with custom rather than tsi kit!!
