Definately a nice setup. How much power do you figure that setup is putting down. Have you run the 1/4 mile yet?

I've never raced it or had it tuned, I'll do both once I do my single setup, other people are putting down around 440awhp and are doing high 11's low 12's just to give you an idea

and yes it's a pain in the ass to work on and that's why I want to go with a single

^^ Those numbers are easily reachable on a 3.0 single setup.
I'd bet that you could make that with the current setup if you wished.

Check VG30dett forums for some ideas. Hot side piping is a pain but overall, you'll lover the gains, the cleaner look of the bay, less piping, great Top end, etc.

Nice looking car.

Thought about going Spoilerless????

Thought about going Spoilerless????

when I first pieced the car together I had no spoiler and it looked fugly, I know the combat spoiler I have now isn't everyones cup of tea but I like it, I find it makes the car look a little more aggressive

as far as piping I'm going to use the stock manifolds or my SS ones and just make a collector, here's a pic of what I'm talking about, but instead of having the turbo mounted ontop of the tranny like this guy mine is going to be in front of the rad where you can see one of his wastegates and I'm going to make a plenum that way my TB will be on the driverside and I won't have to route piping all over the place like this guy

just protective stuff at first (kevlar throttle body boot, samco f-hose, apr snub mount)

not looking into a chip right now, but with no warranty to worry about 360hp/390tq for 500 bux is definitely tempting

Is the 2-tone leather a custom job? It looks... tacky for an OEM. Would be much better if it was just pure black.

I think the Audi was leather sides with an Alcantara<sp?> center. Felt REALLY nice. I was ticked when a security guard kid bought the A4 that I wanted out from under me. You can't beat the Audi/VW seats. Even the Passats feel great, AND are supportive when you crank cornering speeds up...

Beautiful car, Grant.

on the contary. it's OEM Audi leather and alcantera. the pics make it look much LIGHTER than it really is. it's more of a dark blue in person.

to me, it was one of the major selling points.

Sweet car Grant. I always loved those. I had a customer at my old job who had the same car. He put the chip in and said the difference was incredible. He just had it chipped with exhaust. He raced it the odd time. Being a 50 year old doctor I am not too sure how much more he was planning on doing with it but he was really happy with the car. How much power do those cars have stock?

thanks Ryan,

stock, the car runs on 7psi through it's two K-03 turbo's and makes 250hp/258tq

a typically chipped car raises that boost to 14psi and nets 360tq/390tq and even more so on race gas.

with a true turbo-back and a k-04 turbo upgrade, they get quite well into the 500s with hp/tq and put down 11s

coolest feature is that you can select 91 Octane, 93 Octane, 100 Octane, Stock or Valet mode all from the Cruise Control button.

If I had money I would probably be going with an audi. It would be that or a new STI.

Ha! You say it's sweet, until you consider that it's the equivalent of Todd Day's ECU mod (~$200?) and a $50 manual boost control. And it costs around $600.

The Euro crowd keep a TIGHT grip on ECU communications specs and encryption, so that every-hacker and their dog can't develop S-AFCs or Palm Loggers like you see for the Japanese/DSM-type cars. So you can't just slap on a bigger turbo and tune like a DSM, you have to get a new chip or a re-program for another few hundred bucks. And then there's no guarantee it'll work.

There's tools like Lemmiwinks that you can use to tune your ECU parameters, but only a little bit. And if you slap on an MBC and crank the boost yourself, the ECU steps in when it detects more boost than it thinks it should have and you get stuck with 'limp-home mode'.

Also consider that the K03 and 04 turbos are about the size of a stock 2G's T25. Something the size of a T28 is a MAJOR upgrade. There's a few that have pushed farther with bigger turbos and custom tuning, but either the limiter steps in with the AWD systems, or you get nothing but wheelspin. Hell, I can light my little 15" tires up at will with a stock 1.8t...
