I remember Mike2PtZero saying the eliminator kit was the way to go if you wanted the most bang for your buck on a turbo upgrade. First place I looked it was $1400, not including the software, and there is the cost of installation for those of us that don't know how to work on our cars.

I put down 262 whp with my pes t28 kit, putting it on meth by the summer. spikes at 25 psi and settles at 23psi running 94.
Look in the classifieds and piece a kit together.

That's a lil disappointing, the crankl hp numbers posted look great with 350hp for the gtrs, but if to the wheels is under 300, what's the effort for?

I really would like to go for over 300 personally. So many new cars already come stock with that level of hp.

The GTRS kit is the most bought turbo kit for the A4. On pump gas your looking at 260-300awhp depending on octane and boost. On race gas its usually right around 330whp but can even be pushed to its limits to make 360whp.

If you want 300+awhp on pump gask you will need to look at going with a full body GT2871r or going GT30r. The Elim kit is still one of the best kits for a street car and pulls right to 7k rpms. Plenty of power for a quattro A4 since it can actually put all that power to the ground 100% of the time.


Shoot me a message if you want to talk about making power. Here is a video of my A4 on the dyno making a little over 300awhp ok more like almost double that.

That sounds like really good preventative maintenance to me. I mean the KO3 is known to go sour.

i chose the k04 when i blew my k03 bc i needed the smallest upgrade to keep money in my pocket for gas and other things, but now im making more money so im upgrading and thought u could use this info...the k04 is great until 5600 rpm then its just bs....GTRS is great but its just not enough....GT35r is the power i want but its a little too laggy for me to have on a street tune...so I'm going with a GT3076...the turbo flows over 500hp(remember im FWD) and i can get 390+hp on medium boost on 93 octane for a street tune and who knows the custom Eurodyne Maestro race file might let me see some great numbers...im hoping 430+hp on that race file...now if you dont want that much power you always have the GT28RS which is a fast spooling amazing street turbo

ok, lets say i got myself the gt28rs, is it absolutely nessecary to do the supporting mods like the injectors and the chip right away? I already have done the hi flow manifold and high flow exhaust/downpipe... i mean can i just bolt this thing on and ride as is? and if so how much of a dif in hp will i see with the chip/injectors as opposed to without, id really like to be spanking g35's and 350z's, everybody and their dog has a nice car around here (lancers, supras, skylines, sti's) its a military area and i wanna be leavin my buddies in the dust
