What is your go-to resource that reviews common mk6 GTI turbo upgrade options? I'm diving into the BT threads, wondering where the best place to start is.

Thanks for the links.
PAG Parts recommended the G25-550 for my mk6 GTI. I'm finding very little VW-specific information about this turbo. Anyone running it? Trying to find a few options to get to 375 hp running stock internals, 3" COBB cat-back. G2-GTX2860R is also mentioned. I guess I don't really want to BT, having hard time finding sub-400hp solutions that enough people have run to make me comfortable ordering.

Agreed!
That's a G45-660 on EA113 that has been done here in France.
450 Nm at 3500rpm and almost 600hp

I went ko4 on a car with 143k miles, these cars should have come with this turbo as lots of people have said. I think technically you can run a ko4, downpipe and heavier clutch (in manual) and you'll be fine.
Of course intake and fmic is recommended but not mandatory imo.
As stated K04 is the way to go. Figure 6,000 for parts and tune if you are doing the work yourself and starting with a stock car. Add labor to that figure if you are having it done. I would recommend you also add water meth to get the most power out of it 500 to 900 for parts depending if you go for something like Snow or Aquamist.
Warning - once you have all that power you will want a bunch of other mods
LSD so you can put the power to both front wheels
Better tires
Better brakes
Better suspension
It pretty much doesn't end, at least that is what happened to me, twice now.
I didn't see yet a G45-660 on EA888.1 yet. Do you have a link?

Can confirm, am doing this now. Have a whole lotta money into the car and I haven't even gone BT yet, just getting it ready. BBK, some misc handling and suspension bits and then I'll be ready to spend the real money.
