You remember the ECUs are different? Why would you want a Syvecs for an Audi with a SIMOS 18.1 vs a VW with the same Continental part?
I'm not saying you need one for a big turbo build (you're certainly working on one), but there are definite advantages, particularly given the significant power OP is going for (you're not touching 800, much less 1000 wheel on a 2.0t). Really built valvetrains (simos 18 has an 8192 rpm hard limit), VE modeling changes, etc. Especially motor swaps, standalones make that a lot simpler. Totally different world between slapping on a turbo kit and a forged bottom end vs. what OP is working on.
