Cars spot on mate! 5500rpm n ur in a rocket love it. Defo get rid of the rev c dv though ive had boost leaks from 2 of those! Now using a gfb dv+ setup and boost holds noticably better even enough to start the clutch slipping in the torque range of the engine. Look forward to sein ur bottom end built!
Thats pretty much what mines doin now, similar mileage and power to yours bud. I was just about to invest in some coils aswell! Im gona go with a standard luk kit i dont intend upin the power so should be good. I was lookin at the sachs uprated from awesome gti but was £500. You managed to get one cheaper?
How much did that set you back and where did you get it from bud?I'm on 120k with stock clutch and DMF and around 255-260hp and it slips like mad! Got a South Bend stage 3 clutch and SMF which was supposed to be going in this month but taking the Mrs away for the weekend for her birthday/mothers day now instead
Will be going in next month now when my tax rebate comes in
Uprating the clutch gets expensive even just the sachs clutch and pressure plate rated for 400lbft is £500 at awesomegti. Then u still need a flywheel n release bearing. So you had a good deal! You got plans for more power then mate?
All sounds good bud u got a progress thread for your car? Love reading through a big turbo build! Ive heard that aswell and tbf 350hp pretty good for stock internals. Read alot of full engine builds that all go wrong on audizine, i think if i had the money id just stick rods in and go for reliable power but mine does do a work run daily and with the wife in it! Lol she scares me at 280hp! Look forward to sein this gettin built then... hope it goes well!
What youre doing is the cheapest way though in uk (i think) ive looked into it, theres much more options and suppliers in the us but import charges make it silly money! Unfortunatly though uprating the clutch is a must when on the hunt for power. Are you planning on a turbo upgrade?Unfortunately not, paid £502Still got the DMF to buy on top of that.
I rekon 350 in one of these would feel pretty nice! That was my plan when lookin into turbos etc. Get it up there n let us know if its fun haha.
Not at the moment... I Might look into the K03 hybrid turbo route at a later date, few more mods planned before hand. What about yourself, any plans for a big turbo?
Your car needs nothin more than power now lol. Looks perfect mate! Only plans ive got are coils at the moment and clutch first. I think the ko3 hybrids are a good call n im gona do some research as i think my turbos been on the limit for a long time lol
Thanks bud, still have a few things I want to change... New wheels are ready to go on shortly. Think it’ll be the HPFP and stage 2+ after that. Coilovers are a good option, I changed all the control arms at the same time and it’s made a big difference to how the car feels. If you’re planning on keeping the car for a bit it’s a worthwhile investment.
I really like the oem look of it now on those wheels! What wheels you got goin on? Im startin to think from seing hundreds of pics of em 18's and a drop really suit the b7. How much did all the control arms cost bud?
I’ve got a set of 19” Ronal Rota’s ready to go on, just need some time to get them sorted. Probably going to keep the OEM Ronal’s as I do like them a lot. I used a Febi Bilstein control arm kit, cost just over £300. Decent kit for the money.
U'll av to get some pics up when there on bud, i prefer 18's on em but im sure it'll look top notch! Defo keep the original wheels it looks sorted on em and ull allways have em to chuck back on if u wana sell the rotas
