OK so is this a little overkill?

[stilldubbin203]

i plan on upgrading my turbo to a gt2871r, this is what was recommended by a reputable source.

manifold
GT2871R .48ar T3 w/ internal gate and actuator
oil feed line kit
oil return line kit
GT restrictor
coolant line kit
oil pan adapter kit
oil return flange kit
3" SS DP
3" inlet piping set
630cc injector set
intank fuel pump kit
mounting stud kit
ctapp software 93oct/meth

Price - $3865. Im just wondering if there is anything here that i dont really need to cut down the price some.

put a price on all the parts so we can source them cheaper for you

[solowb5]

Ya bc you need all that. You are also missing a fpr. I'd also recommend a mbc/ebc.

[pac1085]

don't forget the clutch

[stilldubbin203]

i already have all supporting mods, mbc, fmic, southbend stage 3, etc.

[njm23]

put up the prices on what your paying for each thing. list looks good

[Seerlah]

Custom intake w/MAF housing and VR6 MAF. And have swapping rods (scat) crossed your mind?

[njm23]

ctapp doesnt use a vr6 maf if I am correct? but yeah def custom intake setup

[AudiA4_20T]

a .48? come on .64 would be a lot nicer

[stilldubbin203]

ctapp uses a 90mm (4" i believe) maf housing, and as far as prices go im not really sure how much each piece costs, it was just a kit price that i had pieced together for me. I am thinking about switchig to a t25 flange with internal wg, if anyone knows the cheapest place to buy some of the parts on that list let me know...the cheaper, the better.

[Seerlah]

Ford Lightning?

[stilldubbin203]

yea im pretty sure

+1

my buddy called eurodyne and tapp made a 630 file for his 85mm (b5s4) maf housing.

[njm23]

yeah, go with the .64, seriously. Also, the t3 flange on that turbo would be odd, t25 is more than sufficient. Also, i would suggest contacting 034 and getting a complete oil and coolant line kit form them. it will be easier and cheaper then sourcing out the parts separately.

[1fstavant]

ford maf fwi...i run it and its great just hard to fit....plus its fairly cheap around 100-150 dependent on where u buy it

and tapp software is the best

[t1demont1]

Id go externally gated, its just more fun :D

[TQMB5]

if i where you i would o with an elim if you alredy have a pc-16 file, you will be saving yourself a big headache. then all you need is a HFC and bigger exhaust to bolt it in, not a new manifold, oil and water lines, exhaust, rework your intake and rework your FMIC piping. Dont forget a wideband

no, it sounds like shit and i can't wait to get rid of it

They sound fine when plumbed back in to the downpipe.

yea...I suppose I should said open dump (which I assume he's referring to)

[Poopie]

i love my open dump on my last a4.

i have a used atp t25 cast manifold. I did not see it listed in your list. I'll sell it to you cheap...they are like $400 bucks new. I'll sell it for $150 plus shipping and it has a waste gate block off plate.

This is the best advice if price is an issue.
Other than that i would buy it as a kit because after wasting time and paying for the misc shipping cost you are right back to square one.

Save a few hundred bucks and get a gtrs elim kit and tapp tuning and sell your old hardware and you will be happy.
