I purchased the TSI Superior turbo kit.

Installation is fairly easy I will run through the steps.
Things you need to purchase before installation..
Synth Oil Turbo rated, High temp Silicone, Large set of allen wrenches, a o2 sensor socket or new o2 sensor, the sensor was 38.00 the socket is 20.00 you choose, I purchased both. Turbo time if you desire but not necessary, no new computer necessary. Oil pan gasket or Silicone gasket. New coolant and water wetter if desired, new thermostat if desired. Turbo rated cluch kit, if you dont have at least a stage II clutch with heavy pressure plate the clutch will slip.

First thing is first you need to drop the oil pan, to do this you will need to remove the existing exhaust manifold and down pipe. If you are gentle you can get the two out in one peice. The line to the egr valve must be disconected at the egr valve. Bend it over so that the manifold will slip off the head. Once you have remvove the manifold you can gain access to the pan bolts, you may need to move some brackets to get to all of them, or use a flex extension. Once you have the pan off you need to drill a hole in the pan in a place that will not be in the way of the downpipe or the crank (preferable towards the left side of the car because the hose was on my right and the downpipe burned a hole in the hose on mine. Also the hose that is supplied is very short. Once you have drilled the hole so that the supplied fitting will seal properly, make sure the oil pan is free of debris and that there are no bends in the mounting surface of the pan. You can use one of two things for a gasket you can use the high temp silicone or a premade gasket. I have more faith in the silicone myself. when you have place one of these on the pan, you can reinstall it. Make sure that when reinstalling that you do not tighten the bolts, let the new gasket have time to settle in its new environment. You can come back in a couple hours and tighten the bolts down. Next you can install the new turbo and manifold. It bolts right up. Then connect the downpipe with the manifold and exhaust you may need to buy new bolts and springs since the old ones are to short and the is no nut on the other side as there was on the stock downpipe. You can now tighten down the exhaust mainfold. Now you can install the oil return hose to the oil pan and the turbo. Next you will need to drain your cooling system. Once the cooling system is drained you will need to install the water lines. You need to splice into the two lines coming from the firewall and install the supplied steel t's that come with the water lines. Once you have done this do you best to wrap them aroung the engine in the best looking manner possible and where they are not a obstruction to your clutch or other things. Attach these lines to the turbo the order does not matter, on the turbo or the hoses from the fire wall. Now you are ready to install the oil line. This was a little more difficult, I could not get to the old oil sending unit on the back side of the engine, so you must remove a brace from the engine, (completely remove it it will not reinstall once you t and oild sending unit is reinstalled, unless you want to break something down the road) one you remove the oil sending unit install the t and the reinstall the unit. If you like as I am a plumber I used tephlon tape on most my fitting it helps things come out later down the road, or you can use plumbers dope or anti seize. Once you have these two peices installed hooked the supplied stainless steel hose up and then run it around to the turbo and install it. Dont worry you cannot confuse this with the water lines they are different sizes. Once you have completed all this you are ready to install you intake. You must install your maf sensor in front of the turbo, (this has been a problem mistake with people installing after the turbo going to the intake manifold, it will cause your car to high idle around 4000rpms) Once you have the intake mounted and hooked up to the turbo with the supplied intake hose, you must plug the egr valve with the supplied brass cap, were you pulled the line from the old intake off.
