So, what I'm reading is that we could go to the K24s with the addition of the turbo's, wastegates and program. Is the turbo and wastegate kit a DIY and then of course the ECU upgrade from a shop such as yours?
What about the K16/24 hybrid - is this the same scenario?

Hi Rich,
Absolutely... the waste gates should be used on any K24 upgrade. You already have the stage II software so it would be a reflash/upgrade (which I'm actually doing to a black TT today in for just that stage II-IV).

I have a set of k24's I think they lag terribly. I just got my k16/k24 Zc UMW units on and all I can say is wow! Why in the world did these cars not come like this!
I am glad you are happy with k24's though. I have a set for sale $1500 shipped w/15k miles on them.
Some guys don't mind lag I hate it. I do agree though the k24 and hbid k16's don't have the room to make huge power below 1.3psi. I would like a tad more power and a little quicker spool, but this is the best turbo setup I have ever owned. Maybe I should just regear my car

I just got mine on (WG springs) and I must admit SOP dyno says wow. Holding 1.2 w/occasional 1.3 spikes...yikes. The midrange torque is impressive.
