2G Timing components

[TSI_AWD95]

Ok, so I am looking to order my timing belt components. I was told that I need the waterpump, timing belt, tensioner, tensioner pully, idler pully, balance belt and balance idler.

Ok, I would like to go with the Gates RED timing belt.

As for all of the other parts, would OEM work?

Is the balance eliminater kit something I should consider? If so, what all would I need for my timing belt then?

Basically, I'm looking for someone to tell me all of the parts I will need for my complete timing belt, with the best parts, for the best price, and where I can find them? I am having a hard time finding a kit that includes everything. I would like to eliminate the balance shaft or whatever if it is going to be safer in the long run when im at 400hp.

AS for the belts, I would like the gates belts in RED because I know there of good quality and I like the way they look. Thanks.

Check out rockauto.com - they have good quality parts for a good price. I'm actually going to purchase a timing belt component kit and a few other things from them soon. The parts are not oem but I've bought from them before with no problems/complaints.

EDIT: there are always discount codes also...PM me if you decide to go with them and i'll send you one

the Gates belt is fine, but be sure to go OEM with everything else.

if you want to do a BSE i believe you will also have to pull the t-case and oil pan.
