I want to get a TSI kit for my 04 EM2, but I'm not sure how well the kit would fit on my car since the automatic trans. takes-up more room.

Rep Power: 0 bov placement
you can put the bov anywhere after the intercooler, i thinks pipes from 3-6. but the best place is where they want it. cuz when ur driving , u can hear the bov its right there on the drivers side. its a sweet bov. ahh on the difficulty of the installation of the bov, just lift the car, let ur buddy hold pipe 5 and you from the bottom while you adjust the bov where to point, cuz if the bov is not pointing in the right direction it might be hitting steering arm. while you are putting the pipe 6 from the top, its really hard like u said, but its doable... hope everything goes good for u...
rep me if i helped...

The TSI BOV sounds sweet, but with my driving, under 3K rpm i always here my wastegate, its sweeeeeeeeeeeet.. grabs everyones attention, even cops, old ladies. yeah unwanted attention, and anyone who wants to race you hears the bov, suddenly back off... its sweet, u dont have to race everyone on the street. usually coming home U HAVE TO race at least 5 people, but with a turbo no one even bothers u.... once u get it started u will know what i am talking about.... later YO

TSI injectors with control box will hold up fine. This isvery good fuel option for mild boost levels and its very flexible and easy to adjust. If you tune your air/fuel with it on the dyno I think you will be happy to find out how good and safe it is.

Rep Power: 256 Few people has run it 10-13psi daily for number of months.
EYE_SEE_YOU is one of them and he had it on auto box.
You cant runt it lower than 5-6 psi, but you can up it up if you want.
TSI controller is very handy, it has boost gauge, turbo timer, tach and whole bunch of fuel ajustments.
Only thing its missing is ignition timing adjustment, but I think emange has it.

As it turned out (I'm not boost guru by any means) WG spring will holm min preassure 5-6 psi as far as my t25 goes, but if you'll tourn in WG rod, spring will be pretensioned ant it will let turbo build more boost...upto full treaded length of the WB rod. No boost controller needed.
less then 5psi = no
more then 5psi = yes

Rep Power: 0 Ok, I am getting a TSI extreme kit from a guy for dirt cheap new never installed. Comes w/emanage and software. I don't have any fuel mods done yet. Just wondering what is the best way to go. RSX injectors? What size? What else do I need to be running right for a daily driver? Any help would be great. Thanks.

Rep Power: 0 Ok, just want to make sure I have this all correct... I CAN use the unmodified fuel rail, with stock pump with the rsx injectors? I now have the TSI extreme kit t28 / with emanage. Before I pick up the rsx 310cc injectors today are there "spacers" that are need for them to properly fit? Do I need a boost controller? Thanks again guys.
