My next Mod on my 00 T/A A4 is going to be an investement. Should i go cam and later on Heads or should i go with a Turbo kit. I see and hear lots of people are going with the turbo kits cause you can raise/lower your boost, but i heard that turbo is exspensive. Keep in mind that this is my daily driver.

My mods now are SLP Lid, ASP pulley, magnaflo exhaust, Kooks L/T's, 3200 stall, 3.43 gears, NGK TR5 plugs, MSD wires, Shaner ported T/B

cam == $200-400

turbo kit == $3k-6k + associated fuel upgrades

cam, new springs, gasket kit = 800 to 1000 bucks.
then labor too unless you do it yourself.
turbo 4K plus all the little upgrades for it to run safely

Its 2 different worlds. Depends on how much $$ you ready to spend.

.....exactly what I was thinking....$400vs$4000+
If you have the funds then go FI cause you may do a cam now but will be in search of power down the road and will eventually end up here anyway. JMO

4K for a turbo kit? WTF you smoking? I tell you what, you get what you pay for.

you can get a used kit for 4k... the phamspeed kits were selling on here for like 2500 a month ago... but for a full complete brand new kit, yea prolly more toward the $6000 end... unless u really wanna get stupid (stupid in a crazy more power than you need way) and go twin turbo

Just lurking around, I believe 4-4500.00K is very doable. I've seen complete kits for sale for ~4100.00 in the for sale section. Hot parts went as low as 950.00. Turbo itself will be another ~900.00 and FMIC for another what? 200-300 bux? I understand there are other misc things to add, but I'm thinking from a budget point of view.

GMR sells it's single turbo kit new with stainless piping and FMIC for $3999.
With a 67 upgrade could easily be at 600+rwhp.
I know there are several guys on the site that will back me up when I say that GMR's stuff is top notch. I have had no issues with my GMR twin setup.
