RE: whats the best aftermarket turbo...
if you're looking for 400hp but you don't know what kind of engine management you should be looking for, I think you should research this for a very, very long time before you buy anything.
a GT35 should get you to 400hp.

What a bunch of bad advise here. The 1.8t can and will do 400hp easy. If you just want 400bhp, a gt2871r will get you there but if you want it to the wheels on 100octane you need a gt3071r and on 93octane you need a gt3076r. The gt2871r will spool in the just before 4k and the gt3071/76 will both spool just past 4k. Only thing you will need to do is get some rods to handle the pressure. Depending on your model year you either need scat or IE rods. Both will be drop ins. As for tuning, there are a few differnt chips that you can use or if you have the fund a ems would be a better way to go but often times wont pass emissions.
