jims13 6 Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 well, all my power seems to be at the top end. but i need a vacum feed to the external wastegate. so i guess its running spring pressure only. it show 4 psi at full boost and i must say, it feels quick.i hope to run 8-10 psi , but i also hope it comes in earlier than 4000 revs. but the boost it does make then is hard..i also have a few holes to plug in the intercooler, ill try and get a short vid up .

ChrisP 0 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 8-10 psi, you want to try 17 psi, thats where the world goes past at an altogether different speed! Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 yeah i bet it does... but im gonna play safe until ive had some rr time, and can set the fuel properly Link to post Share on other sites

antonio_b12 1 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Gona want more boost after a month of so So how much did it total upto? less than a grand? Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 yeah just under, or maybe just over, if it did go over it was by 50 quid..ill add up the rest of the bills later.i want more boost now, but until its fuelled properly , im leaving it at 6 psi.. still it pulls well, just doesnt make ful boost till 4000 rpms, but i have a plan for that.

Phat VR6 3 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 So what can u make it do it kick in earlyer.. I thought the point it kicks in was down the the size of the turbo?Arn't you tempted to find some money from somwhere and go the C2 route Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 well, i need a vac feed to my turbo wastegate, so at the mio , its on spring pressure, and its also leting boost creep out..so hopefully when i start it today it'll change ..i also plugged my inetrcooler holes last night, and removed the cat..goes twice as good as it did last time..just got the lamda's to connect and im away.i may go c2 software at a later date, but it runs very well as it is..the tirbo was a gamble, but it a t/3 oe hybrid, so it should be well suited to the vr's engine..it wont help, that i still have boost leaks and other things that need sorting.

jims13 6 Posted July 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 right, here it is my spreadsheet of my costs.. its more or less all there, maybe 20-30 quid in sundries..i recommend , nice new car , on ebay i got all my hoses from there , next day delivery as standard..for example a 3" 90, was around 11 quid..in 4 ply silicon .. good mopney to me, they also gave me a good discount fro repeat business.apart from that , thx to all , who helped..and ill see everyone at the rr day next week. ive still got stuff to add to the tread and when i have time ill tidy it up and put some more stuff in.
