i also bought my kit on here from flowerpowerlove. it is the tsi extreme kit but the only thing extreme about it is the fitment! but it will work no matter what others say about the kit.

Rep Power: 300 yes the car feels WAY faster than with the nitrous! much more torque and you dont have to refill a turbo after a few runs down the 1320.
- yes the e-manage is way better than the vafc-2. you cant tune as well with the vafc-2 and if you can get the vtec harnesss for the e-manage i wouldnt even worry with the vafc-2. dont get me wrong, i like the vafc-2 but not for a turbo set up. someone on here tried to run the vafc-2 with the tsi kit and only made like 140hp to the wheels. pluss i plan on makeing more power later on and the e-manage allows me to do this.
- the tsi kit is not a exact bolt on. you will have to get some custom work on the exhaust and the charge pipe that goes to the intake manifold is a pain in the *** and barely fits. there are a number of other little things that will get in the way and have to be moved but nothing to major other than the oil pan (which we had to pull off) you can do it in your back yard but be sure to have planty of tools and two days to do it. i got to the point where i took it to a shop to do the major things (exhaust,turbo timer, e-manage, custom midpipe to fit the thermal r&d exhaust)
- i got a wide band bung (for use in dyno and tuneing), but no wide ban
