Needs some advice for my turbo setup. I get my full license later this year and want to have the vl turbod ready to go. Its manual and i want as least lag as possible... like we all do Driveline: R33 turbo box, coushion button clutch, VLT diff, VLT brakes and VT/VS booster. Aiming for around 200-250rwkw What im thinking.. A6 hi comp, microwreck computer, GTR 440 injectors, ARP head studs, 044 pump, 3" exhaust and XF TB. Some advice... should i decomp gasket it and what turbo should i run.. t04e, gt30.76?

dont run a decomp plate if you want the least lag possable might just mean runnin a little less psi than an equivalent A8 motor setup for a bit longer life for your motor

good idea to chuck some head studs in as if you go bigger you wont need to put them in as ive heard near the 300rwkw mark you need them

Thanks guys i went to one perforamce shop and we worked out basically the same setup as whats been mentioned. He said a 35.40 with a .82 for low lag, but still said its come on around 3500-4000rpm which is too late for me. As soon as its on boost its revved out. Still leaning towards and 30.76
