stock quattroclutches should be able to handle close to 300ftlbs on the 240mm clutch. Stock fwd tt/gti/jettas have 212mm and upgrade to a crappy vr6 228mm setups

you can make a setup for close to $3-3.5k depending on parts used and where they are sourced.
ATP manifold and dp = $900
t3 60trim = $700
injectors = $300
sw/chip = $800
oil lines (no coolent lines) $100 or less
little more for odds and ends.

really.... how much less? with apr software?

the APR 3+ kit makes just as much if not more power and u dont have to worry about shitty ATP mani's cracking but u do pay almost double for it all! The APR is a nice kit and makes good power, but you can get the same turbo and perfomace for a lot less. ALSO, the STOCK style replacement are the ones that are know to crack, not the t25/t3 log manifold. They had a bad run a couple years ago, but that had long since been corrected.

^no, APR stage 3 kit uses a gt28r turbo. the stage3+ kit uses a gt28rs(rated 50more hp)
but reliability will not have much do do with the turbo selection. as long as it's a Garrett turbo. but reliability will have VERY much too do with your how well your car is tuned and what power your car is putting out..
Mya4T - you are going about this the wrong way man. you are asking the wrong questions first and not the right questions at all..
2 questions i have for you:
1 - what do you want out of your car? (are you going to race it? what kind of racing, 1/4mile? auto x? roadcoarse? what cars do you want to beat/keep up with on the road?)
2 - how much money are you willing to spend on your car?

no misinformation in my posts....
but you guys need to seperate this forum into B5 and b6... not everyone lists what car they have in their sig or in their posts....
thats where my "misinformation" is... i might be talking about something thinking he has a b6 when he doesnt so my info is way the hell off
and even the new style ATP manis are cracking... even guys who had them ceramic coated and built turbo support brackets have still had them crack! a few weeks ago two guys on the zine got new manis from ATP that were already cracked!
i would stay with a tubular mani from 034 or the APR 3+ kit... but that would only be for a b6... since this guy has a b5 we are arguing about nothing

Sean1.8, what i meant by some of the race manifolds will crack at the weld, but run better up top flow. I remember cincy educated me on that one in my bt post.
