Bird is the Word
Thanks man! The EQT should be fun as hell, and I'm looking forward to it. But, I almost pulled the trigger on a used APR kit (EFR7163) two days ago. The only reason I decided to hold off is because I'd like to do some house stuff this spring 
The EFR is my dream turbo for this car though - ball bearing, 30psi around 3k rpm, and tons of potential. If I were to throw some rods and pistons into my motor, over 500whp and high 400wtq is easy. But...priorities 
It should still be pretty fun with the EQT, though I wish there were more ball bearing options for us.

Sell 14 of your cars and boost the S2k!!
Agreed - but a used APR kit is twice (!!!) the price of a new EQT turbo. The kit I was looking at (and tbh, I'm still entertaining it) is $4200 from a reputable shop. It has about 600 miles on it. I'd have to plunk down another $425 since it's missing the APR mid pipe (only the upper portion of the downpipe is included). My IE catted downpipe won't work with it, but I can probably sell it for ~$600. It's a $6k kit new, so it really isn't a terrible price for what it is, but it's still a lot of money to drop on the car when I want to do some landscaping at the house lol
PB's planning on getting the Littco turbo way before I upgrade mine, so he'd beat me

With the right suspension and tire setup, there's a few GTIs cutting 1.6-1.8 60ft times - which is absurd for FWD 
But yeah, on the street I should get a jump on him.

These cars with a manual are not that easy to launch compared to a DSG. With the right set of tires on my car and him fucking up a little bit, it could be close from a dig.

Very true. However, I do have launch control (which builds about 8psi) and no lift shifting enabled

Back to the topic of wheels...where are you guys getting your wheels from? The C-List market for performance cars in MN is crap and fleabay is always sketchy. Where do I find wheels?

I've been looking as well, but I'm pretty damn specific. I don't want to buy new
It's just pushing me to do house/backyard work instead

Unfortunately I've yet to find anyone selling wheels I actually want at a price worth buying used. The people who are selling used wheels that I want are selling for like $100 less than brand new.

Agreed. There are some lightweight Konigs that I wouldn't mind as throwaway wheels (aka winter wheels), but when they're $230 each new, and someone is asking $800 for them used, I just want to hit them upside their head. That shit's dumb.

The used market is shit these days. Back in the day, I was buying and selling used parts for 50% new cost. Now people are asking the same price you pay from a vendor when it's on sale.
