Could you point me in the direction of one in my price range? I am nervous over the is38 after reading some of the stories on here. I am open for sugestions.

I'm looking into the next phase of upgrades for my 15 gti. I'm running a gutted stock dp and will be getting a fmic soon. Also have a jb4 and ecs stage 2 clutch and the clutch mods installed. My warranty runs out by the end of the year and looking for a little more umpf. Budget for this project will be in the 2k range. So after a little research hear is my option 1. I know I will be overlooking something on this list so please be kind and fill me in on what I am missing.

Option 1 MPFI

In this option I would be keeping the is20 and adding a euro mpi intake. (~$150)

The fuel rail with injectors and harness. (~$150)

And the um tune, mpi unlock, and user adjustable interface with cable. (~$1250)

This will leave just a little money left over for miscellaneous. (Bolts, gaskets, ect. ) The problem with this route is I dont know what hp or tq will be the final outcome. The good part of this will be cleaner intake valves and the potential for real power down the road when combined with a big turbo.

I'm having a hard time finding the is38x or the l380. The only o e listed on the website is the l450 and larger. Do they custom build per order?

Will you go proflex? My proflex is20 fbo manual autobahn pp gti with mpi and upgraded lpfp is as fast/maybe slighltly faster than my good friends fbo manual UM IS38 (peak of 27psi) on 93 when I'm running full e85. If you are just going to stay on 93 i wouldn't recommend getting mpi for the is20.

For whatever reason Dan doesn't list them on his website. The last I knew was he has the L380 in stock and was out of the IS38X. He also had the L420 in stock but not listed.

You wouldnt happen to have price ranges for the 380 would you? You can PM them if you want.
