Well for 2017 i think this is probably it. In 2018 I will fit a bigger intank pump and a better intercooler, turn up the boost and see what happens! In starting to get the trackday bug though, fancy going back to spa next summer and pumping in some quick laps. Looks like the chassis will get...

So 2 Nurburgring, and one spa trip later I think an update is due! Straight to the nitty gritty. Well actually first off a big shout to Andy and his team at storm developments for making this all possible, the last minute works on the car, the late night on the road mapping sessions to extract...

Aoon still hating. I tried aral 102 at the Nurburgring, found it gained us no extra timing. My tuner said the fuel was ****, more like our 98/99. Spoke to some other german guys they said they found german shell better than aral 102. Doug at mrc said his cars drove worse ok aral 102. But...

did my first 100-200kmh run last night. 640hp @ 1.5 bar boost Manual transmission 99 ron v power no WMI. Raining and syvecs TC pulling engine torque to prevent wheelspin Did a 5.6 100-200kmh. Will do some runs in the dry when the ecu wont pull power and run my full fat antilag map too, and...

Bring on the boost!

Heres hanks view on it: I would prefer to have Ashley's graph above IMS710 on 99 vs the Aral 102 TTE625. Same spool, more power, ball bearing cartridge for longevity and thrust loads, along with bigger A/R for lower EGTs. The 625 is certainly impressive, but this idea that Hybrid spool and...

Vbox my car now would be pointless as its no longer on a gtx3576. Those times however are from cars 100% identical spec to what I use to have though. At the end of the day like you have said everything has moved on and I hope TTE625 gets released for general sale soon as I have friends waiting...

Why does a proper turbo kit make you laugh? It wasnt a reference to the TTE range, merely that those laggy BT setups you think of are poorly specced, like that so called 700hp rs3 on its oversized turbo getting shat on by stock bmw m6 v8tt's Gtx3576 on a dsg car does it in 5.6 secs Gtx3576 on a...

It being a record or not is not the dispute. You said it outspools big turbo setups. Which is incorrect. My dyno sheet, peak torque at 3250rpm, ignore the torque spike of the boost hit. Map it for 102 and it would spool earlier and id have another 30hp on top. Each octane point accounts for...

UPDATE! Initial mapping started. 470 bhp @ 0.7 bar 630bhp @ 1.4 bar 650bhp @ 1.5 bar then ran out of intank pump fuelling. Bigger intank pump incoming. Video of the 1.4 bar run. Then decided to upgrade the brakes. 335mm j-hook rears. Then did the fronts. 380mm x 35mm brembo type 3...

Sounds brilliant, andy is pushing for me to do the conversion alsobut think the wallet will need to be recharged after this latest round of mods. Drove the car for the first time last week with syvecs, its not finished yet but got a little taster. How amazing is the syvecs traction control...

My gtx3576 had peak torque at 3250rpm, ashleys ims730 on a 72lb/min turbo has peak torque around that rpm too. I dont mind hybrids, but you cant exactly throw out blanket statements like that and not expect someone to pipe up. Plus Chuck 102ron on my map and we could advance timing even more...

Hi mate, heard yours is done now with the dq500 conversion? As you know its never ending, constant shopping list but hope to pick it up soon and do some mileage

Gtx3576 and xona rotor are more responsive and spool quicker than this hybrid turbo on 99ron whilst making more power

Update: A few more bits and bobs done, had some issues along the way but got them all sorted. Stock fuelling system is maxed out at 650hp so for ages been pondering about how to go about upgrading the fuelling. In the end the only way was to run an additional 5 injectors, as bigger DI ones...
