its looking great , as for that brake being crooked ,,how did that happen ?as long as the resivior is flat it should be ok but i am pretty sure it should all be level . its looking kick a*s otherwise ,

Re: Screw weight saving....just add more HP (Project Turbo Smurf)

actually on every other VR its crooked too....weird huh. I even checked the before pictures from when i first got the car, and rob looked and his was in that direction


Finally sorted out how this piece of crap came together. MONSTER MAF!

Re: Screw weight saving....just add more HP (Project Turbo Smurf)

rob this is what I want to do:

It works off vacuum and is normally open and needs vacuum to close. To open it you need to vent the vacuum from it. If you just hook up to a vacuum source it will close just after you start up the car but will open as soon as you come out of vacuum. This is not how you want to run it as it will open and vent your exhaust basically every time you push the gas pedal. What i did was just before teh valve tee off the vacuum line to have two paths to the valve. One side has a one way check valve that will lock the vacuum in the valve keeping it closed. Now that it will stay closed even when hitting any small amount of psi you need a way to open it. The other path has another check valve that normally is sealed allowing the check valve in the other path to maintain a sealed vacuum keeping the valve cloesed. This valve however will open up at a certain boost level opening the dump giving you teh free flow of exhuast. All this valve is, is two brass fittings with a ball and spring that i just set to open up around 5psi. Supper simple but effective.

Exhaust valve: From a R32 but can be found on various Audi's and BMW's
SS 3" exhaust flange
SS 1' of 3" SS tubing
SS 3" to 2.25" reducer.
vacuum line one-way check valve and vacuum tees: cost me a few bucks from lordco.
Boost sensitive valve: brass 1/4 male npt to 3/16 barb fitting. (might be 1/8 but i cant remember but either will work)
brass 1/4 female npt to 3/16 barb fitting.
SS bearing ball and spring. Total cost under $10

Yup, as I mentioned on MSN, we should be able to get that working no problem... and as you wanted, we'll put that extra electric-pneumatic solenoid inline with the boost line going to the second checkvalve... that way you can control from the cabin via a switch to override the flap and keep it closed for "stealthy" driving...

intercooler was picked up on friday when i was in vancouver, along with a stop by both MMP and Kinetic to see the boys and have some discussions about stuff. Got a ride in a buddies 370whp MK2 VR-T.....holy hell. spinning 3rd at 110km/h is fun.

What are you expecting for HP

[RONDAL]

Re: Screw weight saving....just add more HP (Project Turbo Smurf)

what i am expecting and what I am going to run are two totally different things.

I will likely run a high and low boost setting, one around 7-8psi, and one around 12-14psi. The low boost should make around 300whp or there abouts with the high boost program running 330+

At the end of the day the numbers don't really matter, if I am not happy I just turn the boost up. With a slightly bigger turbo this setup made 414whp, so I am not worried about power. It's driveability, grip, and all that, that is more concern to me.

Sounds like it is going to be pretty awesome. Is it going to be able to bet a tuned 1.8 though?
