    2008cc 20 Valve Turbo Stroker Build

    It is a shame & I have worked my nuts off to get it this far, the only consolation is that I have driven the car at least, I know many projects that never get moving, I daily drove my car for over a year and thankfully I lived to tell the tale! It really was epic, I've never driven anything like...

    Well after much deliberation and with a heavy heart its time for me & my Audi to part company :3sadwalk: The car will be broken for parts, everything must go. I will start a for sale thread soon enough. Tis a sad day but needs must and all that. Its time to move onto pastures new. If anyone is...

    Alright there mate. My rear brakes are B5 RS4 items, discs, calipers & cables etc. They aren't strictly two piece discs but they do have aluminium centres i think there 312mm discs :icon_thumright:

    Cheers mate. Yes that sounds possible, you did well finding me! Im properly tucked away. Was it you valeting the silver Peugeot thing? Either way you should have come and said hello, I would have popped the kettle on and broke out the hob nobs :thumbsup:

    No real reason other than to lower the compression slightly so I can run more boost and timing. When it was on the dyno it was mis-firing badly under high boost (30PSI) and it was put down to the higher than usual compression, it tested quite high (can't remember what numbers now) still did...

    Thanks for the kind words everyone, helps keep me motivated. Its getting more & more difficult finding the pennies to keep moving the project forward but its getting there slowly. So time for a long overdue update, this is going to be a bit of a photo dump! Enjoy. Since the last update, I've...

    **TTRS** Project 750hp

    Increasing turbos in stages!!! I'm guessing that was there suggestion lol. Are they trying to milk you dry? Sounds like there trying to make your user name a reality! I think you have to be prepared to give up some grunt down low to make power that starts with a 7, it certainly won't feel like...

    Cheers dude. I guess we all start somewhere, there was a time i didn't a thing about cars! The more you do the more you learn I suppose. I haven't done much lately as I moved house and im in the middle if sorting out my new workspace ready to move all the goodies from the old garage to the new...

    100,000+ Views, Christ! So time for another slow progress update, the list is getting shorter & shorter. Continuing on with the inlet manifold mod's, I turned down some weld on AN fittings, they usually come with a fairly hefty shoulder which would have looked naff, so decided to tidy them up...

    Cheers mate, I hope one day I get to chase that 750HP monster of yours around the track, just for the noise :thrashi:

    Dude, I doubt he cares what MPG it acheives, if he did he wouldn't have bought a TTRS in the first place!

    Quick update. I've now finished all the wiring looms, took some doing as there is plenty of it! Here are some in production shots :happy: I had to repair the shoddy braiding job on the 034 Motorsport supplied engine loom! Plus I snipped off there ECU connector so I could put the bulkhead...

    **TTRS** Project 750hp

    Don't get me wrong fella, I certainly don't doubt Race Developments credentials, I was just surprised to see the big ends laid out in that fashion and wonder weather they / you planned to do anything about it. Regards the port moulds, it wasn't so much the port shapes that caught my eye but it...

    I'm going as fast as I can matey, hopefully it'll be driveable again soon, I don't want to say finished because I'm not sure it will ever be "finished" but I better get to a couple of track days before the half decent weather disappears! And just to pick up on the question about the floor...

    **TTRS** Project 750hp

    Im surprised to see two bolt main caps in one of Audi's RS model engines! I have to say there new age RS, high price tag motors aren't what they use to be! In light of this are you planning on adding a girdle / crank ladder considering the grunt your shooting for? Out of interest do you know the...

    Cheers mate, glad you've enjoyed the read. I will be keeping it up to date and I have plenty of ideas up my sleeve :icon_thumright: Firstly thank you for the kind words, I even look back upon the thread myself as it easy to forget just how far this car has come! I choose the floor mounted set...

    Cool cool, I’ve seen the 2.0T coilpack “craze” sweep the globe and by all accounts everyone seems very positive about it. I might look into it myself at some point. As for stock ECU’s I’m not up to scratch with them as I completely bypassed that option, I wish I could share some...
