1.8T GT28RS H/W Kit - Transverse

Post by S3rdias » Fri Apr 15, 2005 10:19 pm

I am going to the US in july and I was thinking about buying some upgrades for my car :twisted: :twisted: . I took a look at the ATP turbo site and surprisingly i found this kit: :shock: http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merch ... Code=VVWTK

Do u guys think the :s3addict: stock internals can handle this amout of power output (300 hp atw) ??

At ATP site they say that it´s available for the 1.8T engine equipped FWD Golf/Jetta/GTI/Beetle/Audi TT. Do u think it won´t fit in a AWD TT or S3?

The problem with fitting a FWD kit to an AWD car lies with the downpipe,because of the transfer box and driveshaft on the quattro there isnt much room for the downpipe,unlike on the FWD car.

Re LHD/RHD I'm sorry, I didnt see your location there! :P

Is there an MTM agent in Brazil? If so it would be worth talking to them first about there 345ps big turbo K26 setup.

Thanks Guys for the explanations - It helped a lot. Unfortunately there isn´t a MTM agent in Brazil :( :( ... That´s why I am thinking about bringing a turbo upgrade from the US.. Well, I sent an e-mail to ATP turbo and now I am waiting for their response.

"Rodrigo,

It might be worthwhile to await for our eliminator series to be released. Keep
an eye on our webpage for more info as it becomes available."

If you have a lhd car then it will fit as a guy from norway has fitted one too a s3 but you will have too have a custom downpipe made up for the car as the one supplied by atp is for fwd and remember that you will need larger injectors and more importantly tuning too suit.

I think the main problem is the downpipe as u said :-( because ATP has larger injectors and fuel pump specially made for this kit.
But I still think that the best thing to do is wait til june and see what they have in store for us :-).
