Manual gearbox, it could be used, and some even have 'launch control'
DSG gearbox, (correct me if i'm wrong) you don't need it as the pedal stays planted to the floor between changes.

hour or so to fit (from when i was looking at one) but you have to cut and bite in to the loop to get it running, and i'm not a fan of that kinda thing....my self.
There is no replacement for displacement....
But a turbo does help....

Flat shifting made a huge huge difference in straight line speed to my car

I dont think it will be worth it on a k03 car and gains will probaly be minimal on k04 it will help with faster gearchanges but there isnt really much lag on these turbos

Don't really need one tbf, you already have rapid shifts and launch control, obviously the flames are nice though  :laugh:

They do work with dsg the launch control is benificial if you have haldex as it will build boost and rpm is adjustable, where as dsg just holds revs

Its not really necessary though unless your at a dragstrip all the time

I wouldn't actually use it for launching. But rather for the show with flames and sound :). I think the dsg launch control is great as it is.

Its not really what its for and it will break things on the car egt temps can go through the roof if you just hold it on launch control building boost for to long

Itis fun though people will dive on the floor for cover when driving through town on a saturday night lol

Niki at R-tech always recommends getting up-rated conrods if you are having a Wotbox installed with the 1.8t's.

Imagine it will be the same with the 2.0tfsi.

Known for bending and shooting out the block due to the abuse they take from the pops and bangs  :fighting:

My friend had one on his Td05 18G 1.8T. it was comical

so loud!, I remember hearing people scream and start running when it started banging on gear changes.

isit active all the time or can you make it pop and bang on request?
where is the best place to get them from?
