For goodness sake..
Pick up phone, speak to Simon and he'll tell you it's about €3200 which works out at about £2700-£2800 depending on exchange rate, they're on a shelf ready to ship.
How about approx 400-420 BHP on road fuel, stock inter cooler, stock in tank pump, Loba HPFP and injectors
Steve will tell you what else you need but I think this was at about 1.5 Bar with the so far "unproven" EGT issues from the mega high 2 bar boost map not even featuring, thinks its injectors its needs and an adapted intake which might even be an adapted OEm one.
looks totally stock, more power than Stage2+ and reckon on about 1 day to fit and about £4k plus map.
If you want to go for mega power turned right up all the time, then get all the stage 2+ bits straight away.
Me.....I'd be happy with DSG 4WD and a lazy 400 BHP 25-30mpg and enough torque to pull the side of your house off, mega reliability....drove a stage 1 RS3 once and it was quite religious...drove fantastic.
There's a load of bullsh*t around this turbo....don't believe all you read from people with vested interests in their own products, speak to them as well about their own Kits not other peoples whether its an AKS or APR or BSH or whatever and come to your own conclusions...
It's also fair to say LOBA don't try to rubbish the competition, that scores points in my eyes.
Start at 400BHP and as other tuning companies come on board buy more kit and up the power, at 400 BHP you won't need internals either, if Steves dyno is 10% out then its still 450 BHP max...on a generic map. Now here's the kicker...it's available on a £12k 57 plate S3.....you don't need to spuff 30-40k on a Golf R or TTRS to go
The price for the Turbo has only been out 10 days....all the speculation was just that....if you haven't ASKED the price then everybody is guessing ....its easily sorted by an email or a bloody phone call
