This lag crap is over rated. When will the 50trim's spool even matter? Honestly. most people i know launch their cars at 5k+, and unless you got something crazy going on, you aren't going to dip under 4k when shifting. The first time I ever went to the track was with my 50trim@17-18psi, I...
Dataloggers are just that. They log data. The big gain is safety. You can see knock, timing, injector duty cycle, etc. I'm surprised if you tuned your car with just the afc and your ass dyno.
Would you take a turbo with over 60k miles or whatever and just swap on a new wheel? I know I wouldn't. I'd rebuild it and what not. Turbo rebuilding is expensive. Plus, porting can cost some cash as well.
With the 550's, your car will run. It will idle like crap. You can drive it around. You will run rich. You may have problems with decel/coming to a full stop. Car might die and what not.I had to move my car before with the stock ecu and my 660s in. The car will move/idle/run but as...
I think honestly the only real thing you'd even have to worry about is boost creep. But due to the t-25 falling off after about 5800+ it shouldn't be much a of a problem. I say go for it :thumb: You will get some stuff dirty though.
Unless your profile isn't updated, you have a basically stock car with a clutch/flywheel combo. If you are dead serious about all of this, call up some shops and tell them that you want to build an engine that can handle 800hp. Better yet, call this guy. I'm pretty sure he could tell ya what...
Hmmm. Scenario: You are driving down the street in your gorgeous A4. A 2g AWD dsm pulls up to you at a lite. you look over, see some gauges and what not, and can slightly hear his exhaust. he revs his engine at you thinking "this a4 will never race me" you put it into gear, and start...
^^ If he is giving you good advice, this is better advice. before you go wasting money on a coil, wires, transistor, etc. Pull your ecu and tell us if your capacitors are leaking. My brother's car was acting the exact same as yours. Bad miss, then goes away. Comes on periodically. Went on...
I currently own a 50 trim, and with the stock exhaust on the car, it spools full by 4100. To be honest with you though, from the way you are making it sound, you have no way to monitor your car other than the stock gauges + maybe a boost gauge. You need to A: park your car and not drive it, or...
If this thing can recirculate, hold over 20psi, not leak at idle, not flutter, not cause surge, costs less than $200... I'd buy 2. If you get these done, send me an email please.
On what turbo will you be doing this with? If all you have is intake and exhaust and fuel mods, you will definitely need to upgrade your intercooler pipes. at 20 psi, you will probably heatsoak your smic pretty quick.
