Same or similar here. Hit a wall at 6k.
Now trying a higher flowing turbine wheel.
Best bang for buck still seems to be an aggressive stage 2 tune on stock turbo (downpipe). Or an upgraded turbo, injectors. Figure your $12k car and say $8k upgrades for total $20 invested, I cannot...
The turbo we installed on the RS6 (currently in winter storage, to be tuned in April) has slightly larger diameter and less blades, in a slightly enlarged OEM turbin housing. The compressor is a...
I was (just for kicks) once doing the math. Using the often cited "tranny is good for 600 lbft" figured I mod the engine (upgraded turbos, fueling, breathing, maybe some WM for octane) and tune to...
What is the commonly assumed (no one know, no exact science) limit for the stock block as far as torque goes (torque breaks rods, not HP)?
Obviously, the first limit is the 5HP24 transmission. Pushing the stock turbos a bit more, we saw 730 lb ft at the crank on the dyno with a so-so tune on pump gas.
If the transmission limitation is...
