Default Bosio vs. Sprint Nozzles

(I'm sure this would be better answered on TDIclub, but I pretty much just lurk over there.)

Are the Bosio PP520 nozzles really worth the money? I see that over on kermatdi.com the Bosios are ~$360 and the Sprints are about ~$250... Is it really worth another 110 dollars for the same size nozzle?

I posted a poll to see whether people think I should just go with the Sprints or shell out for the Bosios. Please let me know!

My vote is go with the Sprints and buy a boost/egr guage with the savings.

I realy do not know if the Bosio's are worth the money or not.

I agree with the troll..

I have sprints and they give such a nice kick in the pants over stock, you will be very glad to have that $110 to get yourself a really nice Mcnallyelectronics gage setup. (mmm boost & digital egt combo in one gage!)

the way I see it, unless you plan to go all bawls out on your upgrades, the sprints aren't worth the extra money.

if you want a great reliable bang for your buck upgrade, the sprints from kermatdi, tdiparts, or boraparts are the best money spent! do not get anything from ebay as its most likely made from chineseum and arent known to last very long...

thats my buck fiddy

"Chineseum..." I like it!

Thanks guys. I'll stick with the Sprints, cuz no way in heck am I going bawls out on my car. I'm keeping the stock clutch until it wears out, so I don't want to go too far and slip it all the time. (I've read that the stock 02 TDI clutch can only take 170 ft-lbs)

Guys, not to be a jerk, but if your gonna have a conversation, please use PMs, not my thread.

BTW, if I could find nozzles for 50 bucks, I'd all over that like white on rice!

ya well, nozzles for $50 pegs my Chinesium meter man...

I paid $90 for 50,000 mile used Sprint 520s and felt pretty good about the deal.

if someone got real powerplus 520s for $50 they better thank their maker for that kinda smokin deal!

To clearify...

I got the PP520s for $50 LESS than the price of NEW sprints. Not for $50...

Plus, I pulled them from the car myself to install them in my car. So I know what they are

PS: Sorry for the side discussion in your thread...
