RE: TT Performance
^ ya that's the thing... i dont think i'll go BT bc funds are goin towards the new celica. even though release is still 2-3 years off, i like to fund early. soo i'm doing the damndest i can with the k03. IF anything else i could spare a k04-_ _, mani, MAF, etc. but i'd just be a 225 poser.[&o]

RE: TT Performance
^ compression 
You have asked the same basic questions over and over again. You know where to look, now use them. Dont get pissy with me since you dont want to look or make a decison for yourself.
I bet if you put some power in you car, you would be more than happy with it.

RE: TT Performance
clipse, the only bad thing about the 180q is the dp and nothing else. Its actually the best plateform i think for starting with. You still get to use 180fwd and 225 parts and once you go BT, you get more power than a 225 and more traction than a 180fwd. But for trying to make it fast with a ko3, its not going to happen w/o nitrous.
cincy, are you saying a 180Q will be faster than and 225Q when both have lets say a 3076 and same ICs and everything?

with the same psi, thehigher compression will give the 180q more power. Not a huge amount, but more.

with the same turbos a higher compression can make the same amount of power with less boost... Benifit to a 180q for sure. However if someone gets a 180 and doesnt go BT... not gonna happen haha.

>>M3, S2000, Boxster, etc
All of these cars are faster, 0-60 and 1/4 mile, stock for stock. I may get flamed for this, but stock 225's are not fast cars. In terms of HP, they are average, in terms of weight, they are heavy, and in terms of drive train loss, they loss a lot. Vague answer to a vague question. If I wanted a fast car, I would not have gotten a TT. Don't race honda, thats ghey.
Now, with mods, these cars are quick! Even after basic mods, I think you would still have problems with e46 m3's and boxter S's.. my 0.02
