that should work fine...
I don't know if anyone has ever done it, but if no one responds here, defiantly try the performance forum. They helped me a lot when I was thinking about doing a custom set-up
Also, DBW, or non-DBW?
APR just came out with there V-tune software for DBW cars that will help you tune an APR chip to work better with a custom set-up. Also, some guys are running the stock chip and getting good numbers.
You'll also have to think about a new exhaust manifold (ATP makes one that will fit the T28 flange) and maybe even new injectors and a bigger MAF

Re: that should work fine...
The setup bolts right on, its a T28 turbine inside a K04 body. What are the numbers some of the guys getting? Would I need software to control the bigger injectors? or can I just throw them on.

from what I understand...
if you get a bigger MAF, like 20% bigger, then you get injectors that are 20% bigger, and you won't have change the ECU at all.
as far a numbers go, lets say over 200, but under 300. Its been debated a lot but I think 300WHP is about maxed out for the stock internals. With the turbo you're talking about I wouldn't expect more than 260 to the crank. Maybe more if you get a FMIC.
My best advice to you, is post this question on the performance forum. Its not the fasted forum(you'll stay on the first page for a week) but the info is golden.

no problem..
Front Mount Intercooler. The one I had my eye on was the Z-Flow from Supreme Performace Parts (SPP)<ul><li><a href="http://www.supremepower.com/category/spr/spr-fmic.html">one of the best and least expensive for the B5 A4, and it will supposedly fit behind the stock bumper</a></li></ul>

SPP will also port and polish your stock exhaust manifold..
which should free up a couple extra ponies if you're going to bolt that upgraded Turbo on..<ul><li><a href="http://www.supremepower.com/category/spr/spr-ported.html">check it</a></li></ul>
