Fun daily car. No overheating issues. reliability.
I would get a full TT conversion.
TT engine or put 8-8.5 pistons in your NA block
TD04 turbos of your choice.
SIDE MOUNT intercoolers, DSMs work great.
3SX Aluminum Single pass radiator
NOT flexalite fans - stock fans!
AWD 5 spd trans converted for FWD.
TT ECU
SAFC or MAFT or both or Emanage blue (ultimate complicates things but works great)
DONE.
Just re read you have ATX. Cooler (you have) and make sure to get a FAN for the cooler. Heat kills ATXs. I would send the torque converter to hughes in AZ and have it restalled and brazed for more power.

Whats wrong with 10:1? Lower boost, but as long as I stick it lower I shouldn't have problems w/ reliability, no?

I want reliability. Budget is a concern, but not deciding factor on most things.
10:1 works. But if you want it to be more reliable go lower compression. If something were to happen, bad gas, overboost, hot day, overheated IC, whatever...8:1 gives you more leeway.
You want to stay under budget, find 1st gen TT pistons, the top ring land is thicker than 2nd gens which gives better chance of not cracking under detonation.
All this hype, this long ass list, and not ONE FWDTT at the drags at NG09...
What is up with that???

Well there was one there I really wish I would have run now but some issues were keeping me paranoid to run it at the time. Well I guess if I would have run and tore it up I would be sitting here wishing I didn’t run.
FWD TT ATX at 10-12psi is a hoot. I have driven a few. Fun stuff.

This is what I have been telling people for the past two years when they try to convince me to go with a 5 speed.
These cars are a blast to drive with this setup.
