its all good, I just threw that in there to let it be known, I dont hate on peoples Ideas. its just that there are probably 500+ threads around about the 2.8"t". you can only run like 9-12 psi with a 2.8 cause of the weak bottom end, so its kinda worthless.

I don't see why you would EVER buy a car with two turbos and put a single turbo kit on it...just plain stupid.

^ I agree for drivability, Audi did it for a reason, but the TT supra guys have been switching 2 single for all out power and drag racing as long as I can remember... I wont argue with that. But as far as street goes, I would stay twin on my own car(if I had a 2.7) But I still think thats its each to there own, so no dissing from me. Ive now ridden in a KO4 S4, thats plenty fast for me, and if it wasnt, theres GT-2860s!

its not stupid....its different but not stupid...i guess you guys just dont like new ideas or what other people work hard to do

well those supra guys must just be plain stupid for changing twin to single and producing so much power that any k04 or rs6 and some gt cars could not touch but i mean theyre plain stupid for doing that right??

You don't have to be a dick just because we have differing opinions.

If you've got TWO turbos when you purchased the car, why would you want to put a ONE turbo kit on it. I'm sorry, I guess I don't understand...

Maybe it's because I find it to be somewhat obnoxious for someone to want a kit just because it's new and they've got the money to blow on it, even though the TT K04 and GT-series kits are well-proven to be great setups for both spirited and daily driving...

Im using this as an example of when a single is good, thats why I wont argue with it. Personally, for myself, I would rather have two smaller turbos and less lag, then 1 bigger tubo and more power. I dont care about the biggest numbers and the fastest times, I want a good all around package. Thats why my next car is probably gonna be a MK5 R32. Good sound, handling, quallity, looks, awd, decent mpg's, no turbo issues. Even though I cant get it with a stick, a drive was enough to forgive that one gripe, its still vag, just a poor mans TT 3.2. Plus its decently fast, 0-60 in 5.4, I think I can live with that! Specially when my A6 is making it in ~7.5. Wanted a B6 S4 but with gas the way it is, I dont want a V8, and the only way Im gonna buy a B5 is if it already has new turbos, the miles on them are getting too high now and I dont want to spend 10k+ on a car, then turn around and dump another 3-4 k on turbos.

I pretty much agree with everything you just said. Well put.

i am not hating as you put it on someone trying something new...... what i am "hating" on is the fact that he thinks he can turn around and sell it and make a profit without hurting either himself or the buyer


for him to make money he will have to chince on parts and that will hurt the consumer

for the consumer to have piece of mind, he will loose money......

and how is he going to tune all these different cars if he has to go to canada with his own car and leave it a week to be tuned? there is no way


and then all the sheep that flock to this guy when there are more than enough tride and true proven set-ups out there.


1. K04 cars....... multistages
2. bt cars(pick which one you want)
3. BAT cars....... better have some dough

and to go along with the k04 cars there is marks kit..............


he was inovative and did things differently and if i had an s....... i would probably go with his kit......... so don't call me a hater, call me an educator
