first of all, the 03 gti is a pig and is never going to be fast. sell it and use that money to get like a 97 because ive seen them run 9's. and i put this ****ing huge turbo kit deal on my 4 cylinder and it was a pig ****er before and it rapes ass now. you can ask me all my spec in a private message and i can school you on how to make gti's fast. i had an 03 and i put almost 10 grand into and it could only run 14's so i just gave it to my cousin's girlfriend's friend. well i mean she did some stuff for me too ;)but ummmmmm yeah sell your car man i promise you the 97 is where its at, the cats ass you might say. any questions just message me and i can really help you out on your terminology and particularness.

RE: bigger turbo upgrade
 
If you're asking what kind of turbo you should look into getting, I would suggest the APR's turbo's. They take a Garret turbocharger and make upgrades to it. I personally am going to get the K04 upgrade, but they have much larger turbos than that. The stage III and stage III+ put out some major horsepower. I'm not sure if you have any sort of exhaust, but a turbo-back exhaust would help a lot with an upgraded turbo.
here's the page if you're interested http://www.goapr.com/VW/products/index.html
and don't listen to the last guy, i love my '02 GTi. :)
good luck!
