The brand is TSI and here's the picture

yeah not bad...I bet it's better than a stock MSP setup even though it uses the same turbo.

doesnt turbo screw up the reliability of your car?....i heard it decreases your engine's reliability and longevity
i would get one if i knew that my car would be just as reliable as before

that all depends on how well the kit is tuned
I have a 1986 Chrysler Laser with a stock non intercooled T3 turbo setup
it has more than 140000 miles on it and it still runs well

my brother has a Flyin protege kit with 7000 miles on it, the only trouble he had was when HE turned up the boost to 11psi and took it down the track

I'd venture to say about 130-140whp. I say this because that's what stock MSP's are putting down and you're using basically the MSP turbo set-up with a better intercooler. Don't expect huge gains, but you will get a more interesting car to drive!

 

[Khoifather]

Can't wait to get it and install it!!! Hoody hoo!!!

 

[Turbo Matty P]

it looks good. I'd like to see what they do for engine management, but I'd buy one for that price.

Hmmm... Sounds Like A Good Kit, But No Matter How "safe" They Say A Turbo Kit Is For A Stock Engine, You Always Are Better Off Building Up The Internals A Little.... It's Well Worth It To Avoid Problems, And Might End Up Costing You Less Than Rebuilding The Damn Engine When You Blow It...

Hey im looking at getting this in the near future for my 02 p5, have you already installed it? And if so how is it working for you? Would you recomend getting this or a different kit? Thanks I appreciate the help.

Whoa, 12 year bump. Everyone will tell you to try to hunt down a stock msp setup.
