Anyone seen this from ATP??

Its a big turbo upgrade that can produce apparently a easy 350hp from the 1.8T?

I'm looking at alternatives for a Big upgrade with some custom APR tuning

My car is RHD, so the only issue I can see is downpipe clearance??

VST, do you know much about the clearance issues related to RHD cars and big turbo upgrades??

All I can tell you is that the MTM RHD kit fits(and its a tight fit) and required extensive modification from the LHD kit.

If you are trying to fit a US LHD kit to your car,I'd imagine you'll have a lot more issues than just the downpipe,particularly if the kit uses an external wastegate.

Found that ATP in the US can supply the needed hardware only for a Garret GT28RS conversion for the RHD 225HP motors [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm looking into it now...
