Can you put up a pick if you have one with all the bits needed, did you change your sump to one with a oil pickup? Etc ,cracking job mate. Did you fit a lsd or are you just fighting for grip?

jims13 6 Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 turbo from ebay.. .84 coldside . 96 hotside.. it s a divided housing t4. welded a return in to the sump, downpipe, manifold and intercooler came from a guy off here , advertised via ebay.. its been on a year and a half now, there is another thread with the inital build but i cant find it havent got a lsd.. but tbh im not to far time wise off people who run lsd's and 888's.. car drives very well, as the turbo dont make full boost until 3500 rpmsfull spec at the mo isc2 motorsport ecu, delphi 440 injectors, 4" maf and filter, schimmel 263 cams, spacer plate, arp head bolts , stainless spa design manifold, and 36mm wastegate. all at 1bar of boost.

WaynesVR6 2 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Nice setup, to be honest I am only looking at around 250bhp to 300 might try and do it so I dont need an intercooler. I have a audi quattro that I am building and that will be powerful and with 4wd so I dont need 2 really powerful cars. I just think that I need more low down torque. Link to post Share on other sites
