ATP GT3071R kit fitment

[twisted by dezign]

Eventually I am going to upgrade my car to Stage 3 with Unitronic. I was talking to a local shop in town and he said he didn't like the ATP Turbo kits because the fitment was really bad and they had to cut away parts of the car/kit in order for the kit to fit. This was on a MkIV, though.

Will an ATP GT3071R kit fit well in an MkV?

The MKV parts are nothing like the MKIV parts. SOOOO much easier to install.

I did mine in my garage on jackstands with a flashlight and an extra set of hands. Before this I changed my oil twice. No fittment issues that I know of. However the manifold doesn't seem to be designed very well for flow, but what do I know.

Thanks for the good responses! Twinkers, what do you mean by the manifold not designed well regarding flow and how do you come to that statement?

Would there be a GT3071R kit that you recommend in place of the ATP kit?

how long did it take u to install the kit?

From what I remeber the flow chambers? werent polished and mostly square with almost 90degree angles. From what I hear Pagparts is coming out with a better manifold soon. The guy who tunes my car (Chris Tapp) has it and I think he said he got almost a 15 HP increase just from changing the manifold if I remeber correctly.

Here is the link to JC's build thread on vortex, about 5 pics down he has some high res pics of the manifold. A couple of the engineers at my work (McMaster University) took a look at it when I brought it in and said it wasn't optimized very well for flow.

I think it took us about 6-7 hours as it was during winter and I dont have a heated garage so we took lots of breaks. We also didnt drop the axle so getting the old K03 out was tons of fun.

Its doing good. I never went with the upgraded clutchpacks. The way I figure it the torque doesnt spike like it does with the k03/k04 so theres less shock. The HPA clutch is 3200$ and clutch packs from VW are around 800$ so I could change it with OEM ones almost 4 times for the same price (with the exception of install costs) and I am changing my filter every 10,000km and fluid and filter every 20,000 km. Guess I'm a guinea pig for everyone.

Cool, I will keep a new manifold in mind if I ever get this kit.

Are there alternative GT30 kits out there?

Has anyone done a step by step write up for the install. I'm sure I have it figured out. I just would hate to mix up lines. That is my only concern with the install is just getting the lines hooked up right, everything else will be fine.
