The F23 sounds like a good upgrade Rob, and having Doug accessible through the forums is a big positive also.
You liking the buzz around n/a cams at the moment.
Each time i see the picture of the cr turbo in the bin make me chuckle .With regards exhaust manifolds i think the clock is ticking on which one is going to go tits up first..... your 034 or my V2 relentless.
How do you rate your God speed brakes Rob.
Alway some many questions Carl, Sorry bout delays, not back from Sunny Chicago long(scarism), there lucky they have nice summers there.
I have been reading about N/a but havent made a fully informed option yet, I do however have some RS4 cams which i recently aquired ready to drop in, i am not sure wether to put them in the BAM head or the AGU head, it would be a nice to know for the BAM heads that they can get gains rather than chaning the whole head which can be a turn off for many folks.
CR can go fcuk... thats that, not talking about it anymore.
Doug on the other hand is the polar opposite, helpful, seems be always online and has an interest.I am really eager to get the F23 on my car, i have been following a few threads on vwvortex and they have really promising results.Doug has gone above and beyond, ever porting out my turbo to suit my 034 manifold along with diligent response on any queries i've had an tend to have alot.
I have not seen to many other European F23 setups, I would really watch this space for the F23 results
V3 v3 v3
V4 v4 v4
Not without giving that discontinued 034 unit its chance. That manifold has a gaping big 46mm outlet at the flange. So the turbo's got to be machined to match. Something even more opened-up than this
Nice big mouth there, 46mm, she's throaty alright
034 wider than any available std gasket tho.........?
I think gasketless is the only way here, i have seen the BT guys do it but i need to check out the pros/cons., feel free to share.
Hopefully bill has some saved logs from the mapping session. Yes im running a gt2871 clone. Air flow is matching power, the car is running less timing than stock at 5500 rpm and above. Its not happy with more timing but i do have a leaking valve seal or guide, this could cause the reasons for not liking added timing.
Egts are no higher than k04 at 30psi.
The real test will be when my new large port head is built, na cams, wmi and new fuel pump.
I have no doubts the v3 will become the first restriction but it has already exceeded what a k04 hybrid can produce and thats what its built for.
As you have said in your testing on audi sport, with the v3 you have now found the limit for the k04 hotside.
Looking good Sam, hope shes all going well.
P.S Southbend clutch has screwed another slave cylinder on me, looks like the clutch will need to come off again, i am really hesitant to even put another(new) southbend clutch on, its turning in to a total fiasco.......
