I recently purchased a 2g Auto TSI AWD with a broken timing belt. Car is getting a rebuilt head, upgraded valve springs, Felpro gasket, standard ARP head studs, balance shaft delete, new timing components, etc. Stock bottom end, stock cams (for now). I plan to do a big in tank pump (255 or 400 lph Walbro), injectors, DSM link, etc. It has a stock automatic, I would like to keep the stock converter for mileage, stock lock up but add a shift kit, shift box, etc. This will be a daily driver, I want to keep all accessories, A/C, etc. I want a turbo that is reasonable to spool (although I don't need instant response, I'm not afraid of nitrous for drag strip). I've been looking at a FP red with ported stock 2g manifold or maybe a HX35 with a bolt housing. I want enough turbo to easily max out the stock internals. Pump gas power is important, as E85 is no longer available in my area. What is the best way to go? I'm leaning towards the bolt on Holset set up.
