How much laggier is the 38 driving around town?
I would do it again and again and again and again and again.....even that it took me 2 days!!!
Thanks for the thread OP. I am thinking about upgrading as well. I like the fact of lower torque down low RPM. I think its a better daily driver
now the biggest question is where to find the is38 turbo for the best price?
I found some old post talking about it being available from Germany for about $800 new but could not find anything like that. Anyone know?
Thanks

ive heard ebay and what not sometimes you can get a used one off here...i went to AP tuning in Lebanon Pa and they whacked me 1200 for the turbo
I got my IS38 for $600 brand new on a no reserve open bid auction on eBay

Wow, that is a phenomenal find. I just picked up a slightly used one for $850 shipped. At least its the newest revision T off a 2017 golf R but would take your deal all day long.
Ok, to all the IS38 guys:
1) Would you spend the coin to get it balanced (or more?) considering its the latest revision? It does have I think 8K miles on it, 4K miles were stage 2. Anything else you would do? I plan to get a protune and keep the car for a while so I want to reduce the possibility of it going early on me. My goal is a reliable 350whp, don't need much more than that.
2) Do I need the IS38 hardware kit ECS sells for the install?
