    do not buy turbos / performance parts in general off ebay if you want it to last more than 10 miles.

    A BT build should cost 5X more than that. That alone should tell you about the quality of those parts.

    K04 is a direct swap. Im not a 1.8T guy, and i hope they chime in, But im fairly positive its a direct swap. To take advantage of the K04 you would want to get the car chipped on a K04 File though.

    Just get all the supporting mods with a chip. Ex.. exhaust, diverter valve, test pipe or hfc, suspension. K04 has little reward vs cost IMO

    LOL, the second one is a "universal turbo kit", i think i saw a volvo in there. And there is no manifold in the second one.. so the first one would prolly be a better idea.
    Best regards,

    Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone
    bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.

    I did the apr one from ecs because they offer free overnight shipping there and back so its only 3 day down time. Never road in a GIAC car but they're not much different the GIAC is a little more aggressive but I doubt you'll notice any large differences

    You will be able to make good power with just a chip, or make even MORE power by picking up a K04 and a chip.

    Thanks for the love! Our APR tunes are actually on sale right now - click here

    jturnbull has it right - we offer super fast turn around: pull out your ECS and overnight it to us, we chip it the next day, and you'll have it on your doorstep, ready to drop back in your car the follow day.
