So I've decided to pull the trigger and start a BT build but I wanna make sure I have everything that I need (supporting mods and install hardware) to do it right. Yes I have already googled and researched but I haven't found anything definitive, and other builds I've found create more power than what im shooting for. I've decided to go with a gtx2860r from ATP. They offer optional add-ons like oil and coolant lines and fittings, which I assume I'll need, high flow compressor outlet pipe and stock diameter compressor inlet elbow (which I'm not sure I'll need either of them). The other add-ons are an adapter plate for OE flange which I'm not sure if that's to the DP or for the exhaust manifold. I'm currently running the Unitronics K04 stage 2, which relocates the DV, with the stage 2+ tune. Current supporting mods are 3" custom exhaust straight pipe with 4" resonator, Forge Twintake, Forge Twintercooler, Forge BOV with the 15-23 psi spring, R8 red top coils, IE oil catch can with PCV delete, and ECS dogbone mount. I'm also planning on getting HPA's V2 intake manifold. The other thing I'm unsure of is if the DV relocation kit is gonna be compatible with the new turbo. I've got a buddy that's gonna set me up at his friends dyno shop for a custom tune and I need to find out from him if he's able to tune VW. My HP goal is 380-400 as it's my daily and I don't really have the means to do an engine build for new rods. If there is anything I'm missing or if anyone has any clarification on hardware requirements I'd greatly appreciate it.
