Thanks all in advance.

Hi

I have had the stage 4 form mtm conversion done to my rs6 .... power is very strong running 570 bhp 800 nm

Theweak link is the gear box... as its already been rebuilt once ... so if your going for the bigger turbos take care

thanks

@ vangelis

do you have pics from the other side of the turbos ?

there is only one problem, the stability of the gearbox...

I think bigger turbos than stock and need 3 inch downpipes,,bigger injectors and fuel pump,,Uprated oil and intercoolers.

I think ITP (http://www.importperformancetrans.co...agonauto.shtml) and Level10 (http://www.levelten.com/index.html) they have upgrade kits to the transmission to handle such power.

No Daniel, sorry ,, i just found them in other fourm.

On my personnal opinion, stay away from this company. I don't share their business values and way to work.

For the gearbox, the solution is an extra cooling kit + flushing every 50 000 kilometers.

trick of the day:
Remove the wheel for the water pump. And put a smaller one. So the pump will run faster. Remove the valve which opened once the water in the engine is warm so the complete circuit is always opened.

MTM also designed a cooling kit but I don't have much information yet...
Contact your MTM Dealer near you.

running without a thermostat?

[RS6C5]

Main issue with the transmission is the TC (Torque Converter) and the software.

If both of these could be adressed (properly) then the transmission would live well and if rebuilt/strengthened could handle much more than stock.

I am looking into this now as I plan to upgrade turbos, injectors, intercoolers etc other wise I will bit the bullet and go 6MT.

running without a thermostat?

untrue. In country like AbuDhabi, it is so hot that the water lines will be always open !!!

possible, but engines are most stressed when not on running-temperature. With permanent fully opened cooling-system, this takes a lot longer.

sounds like alot of money/risk for HP....RS6 lightly modded is the best.
