Heart breaker eh barnsley!!!!
So whats up your selve then bill to get the said BHP!!!QUOTE]
take more than i set of DD for that
please read this not done yettake it as it to a dynojet or maha or sunram and see >400bhp figures now!
2bar will see it get the 400bhp number on a DD rolling road... you can see the progression from just 0.3bars worth of boost being added.
i have'nt said its finished, its still being worked on, and was just handy yesterday to drop the polo onto the RR day and jump in and out adjusting it up and up and up... i knew i should have gone further to get a 400bhp plot to shut people up.. lol Not the time to do this during an open rr day to hog the dyno, when it was supposed to be just for power runs. we did quite a few pulls and ajec were very accomodating.
max aits were 33'c and max temp rise on any run was no more than 9'C from start point which was superb. very happy with fmic performance.
no mans land

I think 2bar will see 400bhp on the same dyno, be it 400bhp on that dyno or 430bhp on any other you really need to try and drive 400-430bhp on wet/greasy winter roads, its a joke and plain futile.
That little car will be a rocket on dry roads. For me its all about driveability Vs power. That being said I think the Td05 18g is about the right match for an everyday car, roughly 30-35bnp more than a vf34.
ya i belive 2bar will see 400 no probs. This time of year / wet is no good for anyone running 300+ power unlesss you 4wheel drive
i need to sort some kind of boost controller out i had lined a apexi up but looks like the guy is a scammer

What turbo is it bill? Looks like similar spool to a 3076 on a 1.8.
Have to agree with gary that even 380 (on a dd) is pintless in a fwd little car.
The golf copes with about 18lb of boost on a damp road and is fine in the dry (on a 2 litre though).
If third gear won't grip, the power is pointless. Lets face it 3rd tops out around a ton, so the overtaking gear needs to grip, not put you in a hedge.
Am I also the only one that thought craig 1985's post was tongue in cheek.
turbo is'nt a GT series but a T series unit with roller bearing chra. Reason I went for this was the power request being asked for (400) and knowing it would have to run 1.8-2.0bar levels to achieve it. the bearings in the T series are metal caged unlike the Gt's which are plastic caged. when pushed hard GT's can suffer bearing cage failure as they can warp/misshape under the heat & loads. my own ibiza GT35, had a metal caged bearing assembly installed for this peace of mind, so I went this way on the polo.What turbo is it bill?

had it not been for the emoticons he used after the text I would have thought the same.Am I also the only one that thought craig 1985's post was tongue in cheek.
Very nice figures so far
This sort of thing just makes me want to bin my hybrid and go BT!
