    POLO GTI Turbo Upgrade

    Hi All,

    Bought my 06 Polo Gti in early 2010 from an old lady who broke her leg and couldnt push the clutch in anymore! (win!!)

    I have custom 3" turbo back exhaust w/ Hi Flow cat and the APR chip with turbosmart BOV.

    Im joining to get some advice on a number of upgrades im going to do over the next 5 weeks!

    Firstly:
    1. Ko4 upgrade
    2. FMIC - Probably forge for the $$ install myself
    3. New turbo inlet pipe

    The hardest thing is finding people in sydney who stock this kind of stuff.
    $1350 for the KO4 + related parts (Mate will install it) from GCG Turbos
    $1100 (roughly) for the FMIC from Forge Retailer.

    Anyone got any experience with the T28RS upgrade instead of the Ko4????
    Where do I source these kinds parts from in sydney area?? i.e. Turbo Inlet pipes etc

    Cheers Guys!

    Mitch

    Buy from Forge direct... You won't find it cheaper anywhere in Australia (well, at least what I have found...). Forge Motorsport | Alloy Fabrication

    Thanks Champ!! Done, Done and Done.

    Just called UK, he reckons if there isnt one FMIC that wasnt sold at some recent car show, there is a 5 week wait! WTF!

    Anyway, once he replies, the shopping trolley will have:
    1. FMIC
    2. TIP
    3. Cooler to throttle body hose.

    May as well make the most of the brutal $244 postage.

    Ko4.......Is it worth it?? Im kind of after the best turbo that will sit you back in your seat well and good.
    And of course, I like to hear the hiss of it spooling.....
