i havnt really posted here much if any but after 1 yr of owning my golf it has gone though a fair few power stages.
209 with revo stage 1
234 with stage 2
and now it should be around 320ish though i will be getting a dyno next week or after for exact output.
i bought the kit and installed it all myself which in total came to around £2000:
Prices may vary
1 x ATP GT28 Eliminator turbo + fitting kit= $1649
1 x ATP 3†big bore inlet = $239
1 x ATP High Flow Manifold = $305
1 x Genesis 550cc Injectors = $200
Shipping = $175
1 x Boost factory SMIC inc shipping = $600 ($500 if you PM slappynuts on the vwvortex forums)
Total: = £1672
(I did not get hit by any import tax or duty, all items where listed as warranty return and with a lower value. ItÂ’s at your own risk!)
Remap will cost £500+ at a guess depending on where you go, but I recommend Revo [y], also if you have Revo stage 2 you will only pay the upgrade fee. I can’t put this on the total as it could be different depending on your situation.
Recommended optional extras
If using stock location FMIC/SMIC then I would recommend a forge hose kit £110 posted (inc uk-mkiv membership discount)
Mikalor clamps all round, around £30ish
Carbonio (this has to be cut shorter) £100 posted 2nd hand. Other wise around £200 from awesome.
3†MAF housing 2nd hand £20
2nd hand S3 fuel pump which needs a bit of modifying is around £50 posted but I am going to get the APR fuel pump they use use on there stage 3 kits which is the same lph output but its brand new and don’t have to be modified. Cost I think is just over £100 posted, im not sure yet but I have ordered it from awesome.
I would advise to eliminate the rubber O ring connection which will cost around £20 inc clamps and silicone sleeve.
The total below is what it costed me with the 2nd hand Carbonio and APR fuel pump (when I get it). Shipping and other things may vary for you. The remap is also not in the total.
Total: £2052
as you can see there are allot of parts i added and i have kept to my budget of £2000ish.
i saved over 2k for the same kind of power that i would have gotten with IHI, i cant compare the 2 but i can say that this kit really does pull at around 3.5k all the way to red line.
the IHI could be a better quality kit, any maybe quicker spooling though i know there is a problem with the barings going if you wack too much boost through them.
but this kit is very smooth, very progressive and feels allot better all round than the k03s ever did.

hope this helps for any one who was/is interesting in this kit.
and it will fir a RHD car with no probs, just a bit of modding to the mani in my case and a few other tweeks, but got there in the end.
