    'Bolt-on' turbo upgrades.. and stock internals..

    [ QUOTE ] ihi vf34/p20 ,new turbo is top secret spec,could go larger but will be too laggy,i know of a 1.8 running 480bhp but it's more of a drag monster. A friend will have his 500bhp a3 up and running soon ,2.0 20v. [/ QUOTE ] Open cheque book then! I'll be happy with a nice powerband around...

    'Bolt-on' turbo upgrades.. and stock internals..

    [ QUOTE ] s3 pistons are good for 400+,Rods need changing for any serious abuse. Valves are also a major concern. 360bhp for over a 1 1/2 years. [/ QUOTE ] Have you opted for stonger valve springs, different valves & rods? Can you tell me your spec for 360 @ the fly? Any graphs Thanks

    [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] You could, but you have to bare in mind that anything from europe and the US is based on LHD cars, and most of the time, are not suitable for RHD cars unfortunately. To make the most of a 2871R i would change the rods as a minimum! But while its in pieces, you may...

    'Bolt-on' turbo upgrades.. and stock internals..

    [ QUOTE ] There are few seat guys up north running eliminators that have just been fitted in the last few weeks. Star performance are very much involved with this kit if you need a supplier. Because they use the stock downpipe, RHD/LHD issues don't seem to be a problem. Also uk cars don't have...

    [ QUOTE ] Tonedef, you're right. When my service bill comes back and bites me for the things I've missed, I'll only have myself to blame (already underestimated the cost of a replacement key). I am looking for a 'specialist' to complete the 80k service though after comments on this forum...

    'Bolt-on' turbo upgrades.. and stock internals..

    [ QUOTE ] well my A3 is currently at 76800, and has been pushing 320bhp for 13000miles/21months and not had anything go as a result of power. I've replaced a MAF but would have probably gone anyway! Im using Bosch 440cc injectors, which should be fine for the 350bhp mark, but would prob best to...

    'Bolt-on' turbo upgrades.. and stock internals..

    [ QUOTE ] Like you say, the ATP eliminator range is the only bolt on kit that retains stock downpipe etc. The turbo inlet has been a bit of an issue for K03 based cars but I don't think there is a prob for K04 cars as the turbo sits a bit higher to clear the gear linkage (don't quote me tho)...

    'Bolt-on' turbo upgrades.. and stock internals..

    Couple of questions about tubbies.. What direct bolt-on kits are available for the S3. ATP's site suggests a fair few options for FWD. I assume their is a direct bolt on kit available to retain the exisiting inlet pipework & exhaust downpipe ala Eliminator style kits for AWD? The stock...
