I am trying to decide what turbo to get for my 90 Tsi AWD. I am leaning towards a Big16G from TRE with all the mods. My car is a daily driver and I want to keep it that way, but be able to run low 12's at the track also. I figure I need 350 HP to the wheels to do that. Here is what I will be supporting the turbo with:
Stock MAS with hacked can, K&N, silencer removed
2.5" downpipe, test pipe, 3" cat back
Dejon upper IC pipe and TB elbow
RRE FMIC
ACT 2600
255 Walboro with 550cc inj. and S-AFC, Greddy Profec B
2g ex. man, TRE ported O2 and maybe their big16G
Do you think this setup will get me what I want with that turbo? Let me know what parts I need that I didnt list already. Thanks
step up the 16g to something bigger. mutt turbos do not require an external wastegate so it would fit into your system. i would personally use a 2g throttle body elbow (which i do) to save you a few bucks unless you want a specific color from dejon. i have seen some awesome times from big 16Gs and 16Gs but if you want to belt out some real horsepower, i would personally go bigger. weight reduction would probably come into play shooting for low 12s on a 16g. also you can make your own intake.
my setup will be quite similar. i have a 16g now i need to put on. i am going with a 2g mas (which i have sitting here) and the dejon inlet which i need to order. 550s and an intercooler of somesort, probably indy street core. and for an o2 im not sure yet. most of my engine mods are listed. i wasnt planning on anywhere near low 12s with this setup. its going to be a street car 100%. hope this helped.
Yeah, I am also looking for around 350 WHP. Have you picked a FMIC yet? I want to get a quality one that can support up to 400hp but I don't want to loose my fog lights or get one that is too heavy. Any suggestions? Thanks!
It would be easier to obtain 350 with a 50trim or similar turbo. The 16g is great but you will be starting to push it, plus you will want to go bigger once you hit 350.

I don't think I'll go higher than 350. I want to keep my car as a DD and was thinking of getting a max of 350 but tunning it at around 320. I just want it to be a little quicker around town.
I know some people say that I could stay with a side mount, but I love the way a FMIC looks.
So what is a quality FMIC that I can keep my fog lights and won't be too heavy? Thanks!
For the turbo, get an EVO III 16G. Thanks for using the search button btw. The Ebay fmic kits like the XS Power would be a cheap alternative yet do the job.

Yeah, thanks for all the inputs. I am planning on freeing up the restrictions first, then getting the frount mount at the same time I upgrade to a 16G.
I already got an intake and exhaust, next step I am looking at getting a full fuel system,
Holy Crap, i just got an email about a reply to this post, this was for my first DSM which has been sold for like 4 years now lol. If anyone even cares, from what i remember i put a used FP green on it with some random FMIC and an SAFC and went mid 12s on a beat motor. But, so much has changed since 2002 its hard to reccomend that setup to anyone, good luck though
