... what?

Learn how to read a compressor map and pick your own turbo for what you want it to do.

dta engine managment huh? fast.
im sure its far from plug and play... nothing with these cars is plug and play when it comes to SEM.
chips are plug and play but thats about it. ME-7 ecu's are rediculous.
ill have to look that up my self...
im actually getting ready to drop some 1600 bucks on www.034efi.com IIc system.
as for turbo upgrades...
seriously what is your power goal?
im also a dealer for ITS and so is terry...
if you want parts either PM me or go to www.boostfed.com and email terry...
he can get you the equal length t3 flanged full-race manifold like mine for a decent price.
if you have not seen it just click the pictureslink in my signature.
but here is a quick picture to give you an idea.

tons of other pictures in links in sig.
good luck on everything.

if you want to run SEM you will need to convert to cable throttle...
your currently drive by wire...
so new cable throttle boddy, new peddle cluster.
then depending on the engine managment tons of other things will be required like reluctors ignition crap, etc etc.
i mean if i didnt know what i was talking about i wouldnt be going through this crap as we speak.

That drive by wire is so ridicilously slow. It'd be cool to see a VW with a cable.
