Nice job mate

 

[Ronin225]

Cheers, pity i have to wait until the bottom end is done before it can be fitted, but will be worth the wait.
Previous incarnation had this running just shy of 370bhp

 

[J@mes W]

Looking good Ronin, cant wait to see this all get underway. 370 BHP should be absolutely mental.

 

[cupra-barn]

Was a good trip mate nice to meet a couple a people.

Kits ubber cool!!

 

[Phillc]

Looking good Tim, are you getting the turbo rebuilt or is it ok?

 

[Ronin225]

Seems ok, there is a little play in the shaft but not much
I will send it away to be reconditioned for piece of mind, dont fancy taking it off after not long putting it on
Does anyone know what kind of torque it would run if it was fitted then ran on just actuator pressure??
Would standard rods hold this until uprated or would they be overstressed?

 

[Ronin225]

Looking good Ronin, cant wait to see this all get underway. 370 BHP should be absolutely mental.

I'm looking forward to it too just doing the supporting work to make sure its a constant figure without pieces falling off it

 

[tyrer]

Stuff like this is bad for me to see!!! Nice mate

 

[Ronin225]

Cheers mate, is food for thought more so when you can pick up kits like this for a reasonably cheap price

 

[Phillc]

Its not just the torque, the fueling would be all over the place too, as it would be using the one map, who are you going to use to do the mapping?

 

[Ronin225]

I am thinking Bill but just slightly worried if i've had the car corner weighted and have to wind it up to get on the RR
The guy who i bought it off recommends Nick from the company that is banned from here and doesnt appear if you write it
Still undecided at the moment

 

[Phillc]

Well you know who i would recomend.

 

[Murdered LCR]

Defo nick at r t.e.c he's good mapped my mates polo it's rapid

 

[Ronin225]

Luckily mapping is a while away so plenty of time to choose
Phill did you get my text earlier?

Defo nick at r t.e.c he's good mapped my mates polo it's rapid

+ 1 also done a few of my friends cars and will be mapping mine

love the car and i seen this on dans car was awesome, look forward to seeing the results

 

[Ronin225]

Cheers mate, are you still struggling on with the hybrid or gone BT instead??

 

[paul-murphys]

i got a brand new vvt oem unit to fit so once fitted that will decide if going bt or hybrid, im tempted to sell the hybrid setup and stick a gt3071 on but will see how funds go im looking at 4k for a bt setup , found 2 piece brakes and ds2500 pads for £570 delivered so will get them and change vvt unit in next few weeeks, also going away with work from aug to oct so that may be my funding for my big turbo
when thinking of getting your car sorted? the gt2871 will be awesome

 

[Ronin225]

If you do go BT will a 3071 not be a bit laggy, will make some good figures though
Need to sort out rods and ideally valves before i drop turbo in, i can run the parts in with K04 then keep it safe
I still have bits n pieces to fit and more to buy so cant really see it being on this year
Car will be on a stand at inters if your there sunday
Also dont know if you've seen dannylads different BT setup
