[jaychen]

Yes, one more!

[s3apra4]

Sound great! POW POW POW PAPOW POW!!

[A4Rob]

No, I don't really have any interest to run the 1/4.

[flynnr]

'nice, what do you plan to use the 2 step for?'

[Crispy222]

Scaring ricers!!

Launching. I do drive the hell out of my car on the street.

Scaring ricers!!

[flynnr]

Yea its fun, but not good for the turbo. Tim (spanky) did it with his VR6 B5 tonight in the 94 tunnel. Sounded totally badass. So many people were confused.

You need to hear mine Mike. Pops more.

I had some fun tonight in the fresh snow. Currently running the OZ's with a set of all seasons. I miss good snow tires, but lately the "snow season" has been pretty lame here in MN so I guess I'll be fine on these for now. Still had some fun.

[jaychen]

When does it build full boost Rob?

[A4Rob]

When does it build full boost Rob?

Full boost meaning 30psi= 4K RPM

This turbo is actually really nice for DD. I put about 160 miles on it yesterday and only hit full boost (intentionally) a handful of times. When entering a freeway I can moderately accelerate building boost with the wastegate shut.

[jaychen]

Wow,

And what is the power limitation with running one of these turbos on a pertrol engine ?

[morzechowski]

heard Robs 2 step in person today.

[A4Rob]

Well, I did 420whp on e85 with very minimal tuning. I am hoping for 500whp this summer.

whats done to the engine? and do you have head work and cams? you're making good power when my car started making over 400whp is when it started to become fun.

Pistons, rods, (still a 1.8), valves, cams, valvesprings/ti-ret, tubular ex mani, custom intake mani, vr6 tb, holset hx35, garrett ic core, Cm twin disc clutch, 1000cc injectors, bosch 044 pump, -6 lines with 034 rail and Aeromotive FPR, ect. Pretty much every drivetrain and chassis bolt on possible from 034.

what cam's are you running and if you dont mind me asking how did you do your pedal stop with the twindisc. mine is really ghetto and need to redo it.

Why do you need a pedal stop? I blew one slave out last Fall, but that was because it was modified. I run stock pedal and stock slave. I run cat cams: Duration 245 / 262°, Duration 207 / 217°, Max lift8.25 / 9.95mm, Lift at TDC 0.30 / 0.95mm

you can damage the pressure plate, and even damage thrust washers and crank which can get really expensive.

Interesting. Where did you read/learn about this?

It's something i've known for years, we've been using these clutches far before I had one in my audi, try googling it im sure tons of info will come up.
or try talking to other users with this clutch in audi's.

[A4Rob]

I found this: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...-time***/page6

But that is mostly about premature failure. Looks like under hard launch (on a new clutch) people are seizing them to the flywheel.

[v dub'n]

go to the bottom of this and read, maybe try talking to mike hood im sure he knows

i don't have a pedal stop in mine, aaron does in his coupe. i adjusted mine so that the pedal is 'loose' up top and therefor the stop at the bottom is not needed. its been said that you also shouldn't ever push the clutch in, if its a twin disc/triple disc etc, when first starting the car because that can wear on the thrust washers as mentioned above. if you push your clutch pedal in right now it should be heavy, then it should feel 'lighter' once you get past a certain point....you want to make the stop so its right before that light feeling.

I love the fact that your car is so much different than the normal "cookie cutter" b5

[Max@034]

Wow, never seen your interior before. That is gorgeous (of course, rest of the car looks nice as well).

Did you get your manifold done yet? Sorry if I missed that.
