That's a nice size turbo, but no one makes a kit with tuning, fuel, ect ect ect for it.

I've got an evo big 16g on my TIS
You mean on your TSI? That's a DSM... lil diff than a D17...

The T25BB kit he's talking about is a kit. Not just a turbo.

Also, Riceburner has the same kit and likes it, but as he said it's a pain to install. It all depends on how savvy you are with a wrench.

Turbos are never a complete bolt on. If you dont mind waiting i would recommend spending that 3k on an SF kit or a custom one.
