I am Bigg_gwayne and I live in Japan. I have a 1992 TT Soarer w/ auto trans. A few weeks ago I swapped engines with one that was rebuilt (to include new turbos) by a reputable shop. My mods include a FMIC, intake, 3" exhaust (no cat) from the down pipe all the way out and the Emanage blue w/ the ProFec e-01 controller sitting on 17's. This car is amazing and now I am ready for more mods. I would like to get a shift kit, steel wheel turbines and a dump pipe but don't know how to get it here from Australia.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and TT 4 LIFE!!

MV autos can post you the shift kit. Lew from marlew engineering (and a couple of others) can supply the dump pipes.

You are probably right in that I can get anything in Japan but at what cost. Trust me...getting dumps from Aus. and paying to have them shipped to Japan is 4 to 5 times cheaper than paying the Japanese prices. The shift kit is even MORE expensive.

What about steel wheel turbos?

No they would have to first build a robot to carry out the task, and then it builds it.

So yeah your really paying for the robot R&D.
