Turbo with downpipes or ART pipes

Save your money as hard as that sounds, it is. I would wait on the 3" exhaust also. FI catback will work if you need some sound and then you

Exactly. Don't waste time with test pipes or any other mods until you buy your turbo kit. A 3" exhaust isn't a good choice for a NA car, so hold off until you're putting the kit on. Not to mention that it probably won't mate up with normal diameter test pipes. If it does, it's not a true 3" exhaust.

In addition, while a 3" exhaust is the ideal scenario for a TT car.. unless you are trying to get that last microsecond of spool or go up to 650+ whp, you are find with any of the 2.5" exhaust options and will save a pretty big chunk of change.
