If they did you would likely spend £500 to get 5 to 10bhp. To be honest you would be better trading up to a 1.8T.

A complete balancing act - the red spring in the Forge tuning kit is supposed to be good for tons of pressure but on my car which is running 17ish psi doesn't hold boost in 4th or 5th. It is a question of trying combinations and seeing what happens. Try putting a strong spring in, if when you...

Simon - did you pick your car up? How is it? Greg

This should reduce understeer (according to a recent tuning article I read anyway...) Will be interested to read other opinions. Greg

Compression ratio is the main issue - it needs to be low for a turbo car, most non-turbo cars have higher compression which leads to problems. Things like ecu etc can also cause problems but hey guess that is where the fun starts. Greg

What we are talking about here is efficiency - if a Supercharger "takes" 80bhp to drive but supplies 180bhp there is obviously a net gain in power. If another supercharger produces 180 but only requires 20BHP to drive it is more efficient than the first. Don't forget that pretty much every...

Fitting a cone filter (such as a K&N 57i kit) gives you both a little noise from the DV and retains the stock setup - ie closed loop. Basically you can hear the DV operating. Greg

Really sorry to hear the news - typical about it going just before the upgrade. I am looking to upgrade to 300 ish BHP with a GT28RS on standard internals - I think I will try and budget for some stronger internals within the next few months - is it just the bottom end that is at risk if the...

Fair enough - if it were me I would discuss it with them as there wold probably be a few takers. I knew there had to be a reason for me buying an A4 Greg

I find it hard to believe the down pipe is the only issue - I was quoted £250 for a custom down pipe by Heyward and Scott; if that is all that is holding you back it should be an easy fix. Greg

I would talk to Jabbasport - they seem to do more Golf kit than most. Greg

It looks even better in the flesh - had one of their back boxes on a Subaru I had, an absolute work of art.... Really want a complete system from them once things get fully sorted with the Turbo (and I get some more cash...). Greg

MTM are also in the US - http://www.hoppenmotorsport.com Greg

[ QUOTE ] Soupie69uk said: so it would be a replacment for a standard manifold. and a a4 running the K03s Would it fit the GT28RS if i decide to upgrade at a later date. Would i just have to get a GT28RS witha T3 Flange? [/ QUOTE ] Neither the K03/4 or the GT28RS will fit the manifold...

[ QUOTE ] greytsport1 said: Greg would this turbo work with the manifold you bought in error, or even the IHI VF34. [/ QUOTE ] The manifold I bought in error will fit any Turbo with a T3/4 inlet according to the ad I bought it through. I cannot use it as the GT28RS is a T25 connection...

I would expect 320-340ish (which shouldn't dissapoint). Greg

Yes - it can take an external wastegate or simply be blocked off with a plate they provide. Greg

A company called Heyward and Scott - they would need the car with the rest of the Turbo kit fitted; depending on geography this may be more of an issue for you.... They are here Greg

Tuning cars is all about balance. If the induction side is restrictive then making it less restrictive will make the car more efficient (this can be more straight power or simply better power delivery). With the A4 it certainly seems that the induction side is pretty good - it is the exhaust...

I would get a non-cat pipe installed rather than cutting the original - even if you had to get one made it would only cost about £200. Without a CAT your car will not pass an MOT - keeping the original pipe will at least allow you to swap it back come MOT time. Greg
