I'd retract that statement if I were you Jojo, I saw this last week on my way to the wine store in my 8L :laugh:

I think you need the 8P section chap, which is the forum just above this one for the newer cars :) We're all old in here with late 90's mk1's :laugh:

Cheers guys, I'll definitely let you know how it gets on! Bill overlaid my dyno plots with one from a st2 leon tfsi whilst we were there, and despite the 2.0 capacity, the results were incredibly similar for similar boost. the 2.0 spools a few hundred RPM quicker as you'd expect, and holds...

I think it was carpet glue, or spray on contact adhesive, a little white aerosol can they use when cars struggle for grip on the rollers! You can see just how sticky it is here: Now that I know it's safe, , I'm going to put a few more miles on the setup, it's done just under 900 miles so...

the other thing that changes from run to run, is transmission fluid temperature, and tyre temperature. In theory, the trans fluid will get hotter with each dyno run, so percentage loss will change very slightly, the tyres also heat up very quickly during the runs too as it's trying to wheelspin...

Popped over to badger 5 at the weekend for a quick run on the dyno to see if everything was safe and well. i decided to wire the N75 in before going, and in the safe environment of the dyno we tried a few funs with the N75 turned on to see what it was making. Results were very promising indeed...

Well, a week later it's finished, and driving very nicely indeed. Currently just at 14psi, on actuator pressure until it's mapped to suit, but initial results are promising. a little speedo pull taken this week: 14psi, no WMI active here, it was empty. Blue lights that appear is the glow from...

Cheers Alex, good to see a familiar face :) We found on the old hybrid setup, that to get the best from it it needed to run at lower boost with more timing, we ended up at 1.4 bar peak, holding 1.2 bar to the redline, with 25.5 degrees of advance at the top end to produce it's 350bhp. I've...

So, after a mildly cryptic title, I thought I'd share this in here, just to see what you guys think. I don't venture out of 8L much if I'm honest, but in recent months I've been browsing in here and reading more and more about the TFSI engines, in preperation for something that I'm testing in...

So folks, it's August already, and this seems to have stayed fairly quiet so far! I noticed that JoJo has got the ball rolling and started a thread in the sub forum, but nobody seems to look in there too much, so I thought I'd try and generate some interest in here also. So, Audi-Sport.ne...

oooooooh, Holy bump Batman! I very rarely venture out of the 8L section, but I followed the link you just posted blackie, and I'm glad I did, because that is beautiful!

I've never timed it from 62-124 if I'm honest, like 0-60 + same again :laugh: You're right though, power:weight only really applies up to a point, at which areodynamics come into play, and ultimate power wins regardless of weight. Above 100mph Danes would dispatch mine easily enough, but up to...

you think Adam? it's 414bhp claimed, most seem to make more like 380 from what I've seen, and it's a heavy old Barge. It also doesn't have the torque of the B5 RS4 like yours. I'd say it's more likely to be a close run thing than a sure result. I had a play against Dane in my 300bhp A3 and...

112 degrees isn't actually that hot, some of the 20vt lads are seeing 140+ on a trackday without an intercooler! As you're keen to book the next one, how about this for a top day out amongst similar machinery...

Aaaaaaaaaahhh rubbish! If any of you guys do want to join us it's going to be an amazing day for sure, be good to see a few of the 8P's out to show the older brother how times have moved on!

Somebody with an 8P must fancy taking it around Brands Hatch with a bunch of friendly VAG people to share the atmosphere with!

Righty then folks, another awesome summer event for us all to attend, at the fabulous Brands Hatch Circuit! I started this off in the 8L section, to see what kind of response we got, and so far there has been LOADS of interest. After meeting a few 8P lads at the COV meet last weekend, I thought...

Never realised the 8P S3's were so heavy! 300bhp in my 8L A3 gives me 266bhp/ton and it'll outrun a B7 RS4 without too much hasstle. It's not a million miles quicker by any stretch, but it will pull away. I'll go back to my corner now! Sorry!

For those who might be concerned about this, It appears that photobucket blocks EXIF data on images. I just used the decoder linked in that thread, and linking it to a photobucket image of mine it couldn't give me any data, but linking it directly to a pic on my hard drive from my phone, it...

When you guys say ko4, thats not the same as the ko4 turbo fitted to the 8L S3 is it? that was only good for 280bhp or so tops, yet obviously the 8P is mapping to over 300bhp. is it a newer incarnation of the Ko4? how similar is it to the old one?
