Are you planning on a turbo upgrade too?

I have a new one with upgraded billet impeller sitting around that *may* happen to fit your engine.. AFAIK - it's for a newer CB* engine, where mine's a BMR... it's supposed to spool up quicker and support more boost etc. It came with a graph.

Nice They're a torquie little motor.

You may need to consider DSG upgrades too though. You probably have a DQ200, which (IIRC) is relatively limited in how much torque it can handle.

Also had the DSG done, I think mines the DSQ250 six speed, build date for car was October 2008 delivered 2009
