I think I need to drop by and hear the Badger5 TIP and Jetex... I was so close jumping in on the group buy...
I've done throttle body gasket recently (and cleaned it) but have a valve cover gasket, oil pickup (+ audi sealant) and phenolic spacer (+2 gaskets) on their way from 034 motorsport so all going well I'll do that all at the same time. It's annoying I'm going to have to drop the oil again as I serviced it recently but can't do any harm I guess.
Can I use the same sump sealer on the gasket for the chain tensioner? It's renzosil or whatever it's called.
Ah ok cool. Well, it can't harm to have an armament of sealant. I miss my tools/parts/bits back home sometimes.
Oh yeah for sure. Out of interest what boost is yours running? I want to find out what map mine is running. I know boost isn't the only thing changed but not sure what it's got. I'd like to do an exhaust like yourself too but that APR one is a bit too steep for me
Have you got blue injectors Sam? Apr maps put them in on stage 2
The blue ones are 380cc @3 bar 0r 440 @4 bar from the TTs
330cc i think....
Well 550cc are needed for an hybrid so i would say 290-300bhp? as a guess, im sure someone will know...Thanks Dave. At what point do the standard injectors start to struggle then?
Forgot to add that I think that the TIP/Jetex may have helped lower IAT's somehow. I popped the bonnet after a decent thrashing session and the manifold wasn't even warm! It's going to be even better with the phenolic gasket on there.
The can is to atmosphere for now. I'll see how it goes smell wise and if I need to plumb it into the TIP. I'd rather not though if I can avoid it.
Blimey that must be a long *** bit of pipe! I think I saw a pic of it on your build thread actually.
I know exactly what you mean though. Mine was really bad with a broken breather pipe coming from the block. See how I go I guess.
Yours is going very well. I'm going to resist the FMIC/Stage 2 etc for now I think...
Yeah you need 2 metres of hose cable tied to the brake lines. It works a treat though.
Thanks for the compliments. Yours is coming on very well too mate. I thought I could resist more mods but I couldn't
Still no wheel adapters USPS say it left the USA on the 8th. Australia Post have no idea where it is. Awesome.
My only turbo car prior to the S3 was my Renault 5 GT Turbo and I loved it. I love the S3, it ticks all the boxes now it's running 270ish bhp
Did you have cooling issues? I bet it was rapid!
