Same question goes for you guys as well. How come no turbo kits? Now that you combined businesses you have software and hardware capabilities. How come you aren't expanding your product offerings for VW. How come you let SPM steal all your shit and sell it cheaper?

The REVO MK5/MK6 2.0 TSI/FSI K04 is available and we have received positive feedback from our customers that are running the kit. We offer a wide range of performance products for the MK6 - http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=66521
There are only so many way to design a part and still have it fit/function, different manufacturing equals different price points.

Big Turbo kits cost a lot of money and people in the United States want to pay $10 for a big turbo/software. Companies don't like that. APR can do it cause they have enough staff and budget to specialize in both hardware and software (which is a good thing). Other companies (Revo/Uni) just do software and the most popular hardware stuff (exhausts/intakes) maybe because that's what's most profitable to them. BT R&D costs a lot more time and money.
I know AWE has the resources. They do turbo kits for the Porsche Turbo's (because Porsche customers will pay money for it) and they've offered semi-big turbo for the FSI stuff (GT28) if I recall correctly. Or maybe they feel like the market has been over-saturated with APR customers that won't sway over? Not sure.
GIAC probably knows about how AWE feels for bigger turbo's that's why they're providing support for CTS's GTX kit, the Frankenturbo FT23, GT3071 in Australia, and the Loba Motorsport ones (380/4XX). At this rate I don't know why AWE hasn't offered one given the time they've been in the market. They may change (and I hope they change) for the MK7 though :/

There is one goal--go fast, reliably. Show me one person who wants something else and you'd be showing me a liar.
Unlike in other markets, the German cars are smart. The engine and ECU are smart. It has several sensors and thousands of maps to tell the car how to respond in differing conditions. When you calibrate smart (read: properly), these principles don't change. The theory is easy, but the facilitation is complex.
