Just a lil update all my parts that arent on backorder have arrived and should be a week or two hopefully before my other parts arrive I've decided to have a shop do all the work since the parts took so long to order and I'm no longer in my window of relaxed work schedule post deployment days there will still be lots of pictures when completed the shop agreed to take pictures as they go for me

 

All mine should be done and welded up by arnold byt the end of this week....then another week of install...ours should be done about the same time.....the V banded manis and gt30r with Tial v banded housings are all in dropping the car off Saturday with 1552 motorsports....thatsa 2 1/2 hour drive from where im at but from what i have heard they do vert good work... And with the IE rods im installing i can start boosting 24 psi right away

 

you guys are going to make me sad having to wait before i get the money for my very large snail

 

I'm sure you wont have to wait to long once you start making your FMIC kits seems like alot of people are waiting for them .

 

Well a bunch of people wanted in on that w/m group buy and didnt come through. So i guess we will see.

BTW since im fwd, i think i might be going with a journal bearing turbo now. This will give me slightly better traction but i will still be shelling out $1300 for the turbo if i do compared to a gt3082r... DAMN BW TURBOS!! [:@]

 

I tried talking a few of my friends that own S4's to join the group buy but they didnt want one untill mine came in the mail and they saw how simple it is there loss I guess

 

They might be able to hop in still. Its simple and they can just read jettared'sthread. Its just a few wiring connections and then increase the boost and timing some and they are golden.

 

Lol ...well i cant stand driving a slow car so i had to do something..... ive gotten whp ranges from people saying i will get only 270 whp out of the box which seems a bit ridiculus. To sme saying 400 whp out of the box with 24-25 psi on stock head.... so i guess ill have to see in a few weeks what the dyno numbers say.

 

for fwhp, you should be just short of 400whp (~380whp) with stock head and intake man. Adam@ Uni made just over 400fwhp with 18psi on a AEB head and 007 intake man which should of netted him 30whp +.

 

That sounds about right..... I have seen up to 450 whp numbers with stock head but thats with 110 and 29-30 psi....I try to work with 93 octain numbers its a little more realistic...if i say i have 400 whp i want to have 400 whp everyday not just when i happen to have 50.00 to spend on 5 gallons of gas. In a few months when i get bored with 400 whp i will go eab head cams intake haldex orange controller and cluth/flywheel.... kinda sad....but the fastest 1.8l audi tt i have seen is eurodyne's 2001 with gt35r running 11.89 @ 121 mph ...hopefuly i can beat that once i m done
