U can do the greddy kit, just get your emanage reprogrammed, get the intercooler, get some injectors, maybe a bigger fuel pump and then you will be ok. I had the TSI kit which wasnt terrible but the fitment coulda been better.

intercooler and bigger injectors are definately happening also. and i plan on fin tuning the emanage also.
but i still am wondering where the best place to run the oil lines to the system is and if there is anything else that i may have a problem with

what kinda of gastket should i get..... my toyota one is fine.... is there a special FI one or something???
i just put my strup header on tuesday and reused the original with no leaks, and as long as i dont bend it or scratch it up during the turbo install i will be able to reuse him again.
if i need a better aftermarket one please point me in the right direction

In the instructions it says that you should buy a new one . I don't have the manual one me right now to confirm why they say replace it. but it is only 26$ for a little insurance. the manual says use an oe part they evan give you the part #
