selecting the right turbo is the least of your worries.

like i said ... the choice of the turbo is the least of your worries ...

and assuming you posted in the correct section, and you are the owner of the S2 ... then you have a long depressing road ahead of you.

Starting from the more likely. Car has 84,000 Miles on it now its a 6 spd m/t

much appreciated.
No he doesn't. I'm moving this to the Series 1 section.

This was originally posted in the section for the S2 model (09+). The options for tuning to accept a turbo installation are limited.

I'm all for breaking new ground but that's a HUGE turbo. Have you been in the Major Horsepower section yet?

Thats what she said. Haha anyway i'm looking for something that will hit full boost 8-10psi in the upper RPM's And I did look but I haven't seen anyone running that size turbo. The Turbo is like I said twin scroll t4 so it should spool up a few hundred RPM's faster than say a garrett t61 or so - plus it should give off a LOVELY noise at 6,000 rpm...also the manifold is going to be a equal length top mount

....Edit the street racing part out so we can keep this thread open.
you don't have to edit it though if you're just blowing hot air about doing this setup
