Turbos .. anyone?
There are a few options out there, fortunately I have spoken to members who have tried out each of the manufacturers below, which of course has led to mixed reviews..
who do you think would be worth the upgrade:
Weistec- Stage 1 upgrade - send cores in
Renntech- Stage 1 upgrade - hella pricey
PureTurbos- Stage 1 upgrade - mixed reviews
YabeelaParts- W4 upgrade - Huge Turbos, worried about time taken to spool. Tranny might not be able to handle a tuned file.

In Florida summer weather, my car tune only would run 11.0 at about 127. Now it runs 10.6 at 130. There's more in it too...once the fueling is sorted and we can tune more aggressively. OEM fuel system is maxed out.
I've had a meth/water injection kit in the shop for about a month now from Weistec. Will install it soon to provide the additional fueling and cooling.
I would love to go with a full-on turbo upgrade (yabeela), but it's truly uncharted territory, and I'm done experimenting with this car. I saw someone recently received his turbos...looking forward to see some results! Should be pretty wild.

I have Pure 900 hybrid turbos, which as you pointed out, are quite similar to the Weistec W3s and the Renntech Stage 1s. The turbo upgrade, from a mechanical standpoint is not super complex, and each of the above are capable of modding these OEM turbos, or having them modded. Renntech's solution does come with a fuel system upgrade, which is necessary, but I'm not sure exactly what the fuel upgrade entails.

You bought your car out right, right? No financing/lease/warranty claims for you? :P

Muffin, don’t mind him. We’re all a little bitter because our cars with turbo upgrades are still slower than stage 1 tune only Audis.
