Sorry to throw a spanner in the works, but just wanted to check if you are pushing the engine hard or just want the engine for occasional use? I only ask this as the tsi is a waste of time for track work this is from my experience from going through 2 turbos as the engine just isn't cutout for it. It suffers from oil starvation to the turbo and oil surge etc... On hard track work. It will probably be fine on the road as isn't under anywhere near the stress of cornering on track. Just something to bear in mind, before chasing numbers just think about what the car is being used for track or road for long term reliability. Hope this is of help, you will see more info on my candy white rocco build thread.

ya know the APR golf they have been successfully using for sometime is a 2.0 TSI, possible problem with your car matey?

Which APR Golf? Not the R demo they are running in Milton Keynes as that's a TFSI.

Outright power isnt a limiting factor.

Its oil surge and starvation that the car suffers with when you are on track with sticky tyres and a good chassis setup.  The potential cornering forces starve the turbo of its oil hence big plumes of white smoke and new turbos.  The TFSI doesnt suffer with this as the sump/oil lines are better designed

Google the apr motorsport mk6 tsi ya'll, been very sucessful for them
 
P.s. not the R golf, its only a TFSI
