Where did you end up getting the turbo kit from in the end? Car looks good, just didn't have enough power for you?

Awesome that TDi are sending you one out, be interested to see how it turns out. Yea I agree with you with the charger and track days, there is charge cooling but if you have the cash for the turbo why not.
