Does anyone know if that Stage 3 upgrade from APR is available for the 1.8T Jetta as well???
Yes, I believe it's all 1.8T engines.
Also, you mention $4K for the kit..............
APR is raising the price of the kit, how much I don't know.
is there any additional bottom end work required to take the additional boost?
Engine no, transmission yes. A better clutch will be needed very quickly with that much power. A LSD will be very helpfull in putting it to the ground.
Does anyone have a website for APR?
www.goapr.com I think

He's gonna freek when he sees that video...............They are nice cars..........I like both the GTI and the Jetta. It's unfortunate that the exhaust work will make it sound ricey, but I know with the upped boost, the exhaust is definitely necessary. I'd love to have one for a daily driver............but then again, I MUST HAVE A NON-MODDABLE DAILY DRIVER................otherwise, I know I'd be modding for sure.............hence my '89 T-bird.

Anyway the problem with the exahuasts are the friggin prices!
SS downpipes start at $350
SS catbacks start at around $500
And you get what you pay for most of the time, so your looking at an easy $1k for a decent exhaust.
and the exhaust that came with mine is ugly, is not SS and has a leak ....

It seems that both those runs were done above 65 mph. If you are over 65 mph the truck isn't going to down shift for its full potential. You did downshift from over drive (4th gear) to 3rd but if you are under 65 mph the truck will downshift to 2nd gear and pull much harder. Had the second run started below 65 mph I believe you would have taken him.

OK,
I couldn't help it. I ordered mod's before my 03 GTI VR6 daily driver car arrived.
Techtonics SS exhaust, dual 2.5" tips, a little bigger than stock, but not Ricer. Eurosport Racing Cold Air intake, 1.5" H&R Sport lowering springs, Koni Adjustable shocks, Shine Racing rear sway bar. It's all sitting in the garage, awaiting a few break in miles.
I said I wasn't going to mod it, but once you own a Lightning, any other car you drive will never satisfy you, unless it's modded.
I need a chip...

Those 4 banger VW motors are good motors. When you start to up the boost on those stock turbos they do tend to glow in the dark. I don't think the turbo will last too long in that configuration. To do it right requires a biger turbo and larger intercooler. This was discussed at length in European car. I used to own a VW back in the day with aftermarket turbo, everything was reliable except the turbo.
