i have a 2005 1.8t passat and i want to replace the turbo with something more powerful. i know its a passat and its not that fast but i still want to put something in it that will make a noticeable difference, best case senario make it pretty quick for a sedan. if anyone could help with ideas id appreciate it.

There are a lot of kits out there, but I think you should try out a few bolt ons I.E. chip, intake,exhaust, inlet pipe, downpipe, etc. and see if that gets you where you want to be.

check out AWE tuning. not sure if they have a kit for you but they have a nice kit for my B5 that will be going in soon. hope that helps

what ttturbo said
with the right tuning and supporting mods your stock turbo can be enough power for the average person but if you need more cause boost is like crack check ecs tuning or you can piece on together your self but i would go for a ko4 they do the job
but also check out Products > SHOP VW > Passat > Turbo Upgrade
