Default A few questions about Turbocharging

Well I have a 02 SS A4 which I would love to turbocharge later on this year, maybe by my birthday (september).

My plans for my car are to add:

1 3/4 QTPs with catted Y
AFR 205s
a 224/224 on a 114 cam
GMMG exaust
Fast 90mm intake and NW 90 TB


I would like to add a Turbo after im done with the above.
My goal is to be making 550rwhp. I also need the car to be very driveable.
Single turbo is what I want since I think twin would be overkill.

What recomendations do you guys have ? What turbo should I go with ??? Or what kit ?

Thanks!

The cam, heads, and fast 90 NW90 setup would be nice. You will want to skip on the exhaust stuff as that will be custom per the turbo setup you end up running. there is ground zero, ptk, hi-flo and few others and alos there is some shops that do one off installs, some of the nicest comming from Stenod.

It wouldn't hurt to come by and talk w/ Rick/Synergy in Fremont. I know he sells the STS rear-mount stuff but have worked on various forms of FI. I'm sure he could give you an idea or two..

I would skip all of the mods you mentioned until you're ready for the turbo. The trubo will change what cam you want, not to mention that you don't need headers with a turbo app (unless you're talking about STS).
