<center><img src="https://secure.memca.com/ecodetuning/images/products/556_large.bmp"></center><p>This is very interesting. They mentioned just "eliminate" your KO3 or KO4 and just bolt on the new Garret GT based unit. No need to reconfigurate any piping works and it's capable of producing "400+HP". Read below:
""""The eliminator product is very easy and straight forward to use. It is basically a higher flowing, direct replacement turbo that goes right into the stock turbo location. You do not have to change the turbo system around. Basically, you just "eliminate" the K03 or K04 that you have and "bolt-on" the new Garrett GT based unit. The higher flowing Garrett unit sits in the original location to achieve a subtle visual effect. We wanted the Garrett GT turbo to look OEM once it's integrated into the turbo engine bay. It uses most of the OEM gaskets and mounting points. This means the flange that mounts the turbo to the manifold is stock appearing and the flange that mount to the downpipe is the same as stock. So, you don't have to change out your exhaust manifold or downpipe if you do not want to. Your stock or custom front mounted intercooler will still work with the new turbo, without any "reconfiguration" of the piping work."""
will this work with 1.8TT?<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecodetuning.com/shop/cart.php?m=product_list&c=65">http://www.ecodetuning.com/shop/cart.php?m=product_list&c=65</a</li></ul>

Research it first
Lots of bad ATP stories, very few good. Some linked here in the recent weeks. Lots of extra fabrication needed for a good install. Lots of missing "pieces to the puzzle" that you are required to source and figure out yourself. Money can be saved but there will be a cost for it in other areas, mostly frustration. Unless you are a serious do it yourself'er with a serious shop/set of tools to back up your skills I wouldn't recommend it.
Others would be less kind.

Get in touch with these guys...
I have not heard anything good nor bad about them but they have adopted one of ATP eliminator kits on a 225TT and put down about 300WHP. They offer the software for this kit which is the biggest difficulty with getting one to run. HOWEVER, I have no idea how reliable these guys are, how good their software is and what their software is based of.<ul><li><a href="http://www.eurodyne.ca">Eurodyne</a></li></ul>
