Well the Holset turbo's are cheap over here, otherwise it was going to be a new GT3582R for christmas.

I know a couple guys over here with VRT's, done it themselves and they know their stuff (so I'm told!), so be talking to them! Been doing a lot of my own research too and its not as hard/expensive as I first thought. Just got to figure out management and clutch.

What bottom end mods are you planning to cope with the extra boost.

ARP rod bolts.

Also ARP head studs and probs some stiffer valve springs and titanium retainers. Maybe some more head work.

Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3
