UPS Ground, haven't gotten it yet, hopefully tomorrow or Monday...
I most likely won't install it for a week or so. Just bought a house and may be moving over the next two weekends. I'll keep you posted.

I'm not sure which K04 yet, theres a slight chance i'l even go with their custom K04 that you
mentioned.
haha, im somewhat of a dreamer, so im expecting 270-280 with normal K04
with their custom K04 $2200, id want to be making 300hp, no less..however i would also purchase their exhaust manifold. Considering they have already made 286hp with their custom K04, i dont see 300hp to be out of the question.
My goal here is to get 300+hp and keep the turbo as small as possible, while keeping it reliable.

Also, glad to hear you are happy with your APR, sounds like they got it right this time!
Cant wait to see your dynos!
i bet your car flies, especially with you having the weight advantage of no quattro
so whens your stage 3 coming in?

They also have a very nice intake manifold...
And with all the other mods, it should add some decent HP. I may run that with the APR Stage 3. You should go with the bigger K04, you're right it is possible to get good peak HP with a smaller turbo, but the power delivery won't be as smooth as it would be with a bigger setup, still tons of TQ. If you keep the boost around 19-21psi, with a good amount of fuel the GT28RS is pretty reliable with our stock internals. These APR injectors are huge, plenty of fuel. Did you ask about the Dahlback intake manifold? Maybe they'd do a group buy on it.
