Default For those who went na-t.

There are some of you that went na-t and wanted around 350-400 hp. Why didn't you just buy the stock tt turbos? Wouldn't they make the same amount of hp? Does it cost more to go na-tt than to get something like the dave h kit?

Probably could with some very good fabrication skills, but the head pattern is different, so it doesnt just bolt on. The stock TT manifold is really cramped and hard to work with, so most people just go with a custom manifold, single turbo, for simplicity i guess. Not to mention the intake would be in the way. But i'd like to see someone try.

I don't think they make a manifold for this conversion. People who have done the conversion have swapped the whole head, manifold, turbos, ECU, etc from a TT.
