WOW. This looks interesting. Keep us updated!

[A4GY]

She is pretty much done. Drove her for a day and blew the stock tranny lol. Transmission is in the mail on its way back to me from ipt should be back on road in the next two or three weeks.

[A4Rob]

Sent you a PM. Do you have any videos from the first couple pulls? :-)

[A4GY]

sadly i do not but i will be headed to the dyno to finish up the tune and will have video of that and will post video of some runs on the road on the way to the dyno lol

[kevin12]

Wow this insane, especially on a tip! Definitely some major funds. Hope to see up and running soon

thanks me too def been a long process!

[audi til I die]

Wait... so you had the 35r running and you drove it with the stock tip??? lol. You must've not wanted it at all. Very interesting and props for taking on this project I'm afraid of putting a 28 series turbo just cuz it's a tip but I'm sure that built tranny is more than what I'd want to pay. If you'd like to PM me a ballpark just so I can keep this idea out of my head feel free to do so. lol.


BTW I love the background to your parts pics. BULLS FTMFW forever

[Euro-Tuner]

why not a 44mm WG on that manifold?

also, how does your hot side piping match up to your turbo outlet? Mine looks like the silicone wants to rip.

[Seerlah]

What do you mean by "Custom Tune"? I know CTapp has 2 distributers in the US. One in NY and the other in CO. Is his distributer able to do custom tunes for you, or did he give you an off the shelf tune and you are just having him tweek it for you? Thanks!

BTW, that build is bad ***

you cant tweak NDBW (96-99.5) cars CTAPP only offers a 1000cc or 630cc file for us. Only way to custom tune is SEM

Knew that it would blow just didnt think it would blow right away lol. . The total parts cost with shipping is aprox $5560 for the built tip trans

no real reason on going with the 38mm over the 44mm just pretty much went with what Chris Tapp suggested....

your talking about the intercooler pipeing right? mine seems to fit just fine I can get a picture if you like.

the software I am running is the exact same tune that Chris ran is his shop A4.

[AudiA4_20T]

I didn't know full-race made a 38mm WG...

Im excited to see this thing run, but I have a feeling the tiptronic might kill the power

not a full race manifold just have a full race down pipe. manifold was made by jay thorton

[STS9king]

I know Ctapp has a dealer in NY (arnold) but CO???? who and where? I live in denver and have not heard of this dealer. Please inform! and nice project.

[Seerlah]

^ http://www.eurodyne.ca/dealers/ There is one user on this forum board (B5 A4) I know of whom has CTapp from the CO distributer. To the OP, pardon the thread jack.

Wow, you sound like a determined man. lol. I'm very curious to see how the tranny plays out. Haven't heard anything but good shit about IPT. What boost you planning on running when it's all said and done? I have a left knee problem and I'm skeptical on getting a MT since it swells up when I drive on it too long so tip builds catch my interest

aprox 20psi on pump (91oct) and aprox 35psi on c16 (116 octane)

[STS9king]

^^^^^^^^Thanks alot for the info..... And, A4guy, lets meet up, I wanna check out that build! I have a build of my own underway as we speak!

always down to meet up. the car is currently at 3zero3 until the trans is done being put in

[A4GY]

I have a feeling the tiptronic might kill the power

im curious to see how it compare to the manual car out there. think it should do just fine especially considering the converter stall has been raised to around 3500prm

[speedydragon]

wow! this build is insane. At what rpm would you see boost? Won't the tip automatically shift up once it touches redline?

[STS9king]

with the chip tune, they can change when the car shifts if its a tip. The apr stg 3 auto cars shift like 500 above redline.

[biketsai]

Wow, I am excited to see this thread, I think Mike has mentioned your car before to me. I too have the IPT VB and I need some inspiration to go bigger without killing my car!!

[4inchMAF]

what are your rough power goals. i have a friend that blew his IPT tip tranny in 3K miles with a 3071. hope you do better. this will DEFINITELY be a record on a TIP trans LOL (if it can take it)

[Issam@INA]

Looking forward to seeing what the IPT transmission can do.

[jrock]

Ya! a local build. Would love to do some pulls against the 35r tip compared to my soon to be 35r manual trans! Still havent decided yet on what trans tho...

that's be great so we can compare, I'll do the same...

[20A4Audi1.8t01]

wow indeed!

[A4GY]

wow! this build is insane. At what rpm would you see boost? Won't the tip automatically shift up once it touches redline?

wish i could give you a good answer on this. but i have not been able to run anyting more then 14psi before i blew the stock tranny lol. with the ecu tune and tcu tune the shift point will be higher then stock redline.

[A4GY]

Wow, I am excited to see this thread, I think Mike has mentioned your car before to me. I too have the IPT VB and I need some inspiration to go bigger without killing my car!!

yeah mike is a good guy he has helped me a lot i have even purcahsed some parts through him.

thanks again mike!

[A4GY]

we est the hp to be aprox 675hp at crank on c16 at aprox 33psi.

we told ty at ipt the hp estimates and he said its no problem and is also giving me a 12k mile one year warranty (only company willing to warranty a tip trans build) so i feel pretty confident.

[A4GY]

Looking forward to seeing what the IPT transmission can do.

Me too and thanks again for the parts help 034 rocks!

[A4GY]

Ya! a local build. Would love to do some pulls against the 35r tip compared to my soon to be 35r manual trans! Still havent decided yet on what trans tho...

that would be cool! have i met you before? either way let me know when your done on your build!

[A4GY]

that's be great so we can compare, I'll do the same...

probably wont be down at the shop until early next week will try to remember to bring my cam!

also as a side note that i forgot to mention. i had my fmic made as a clone to mike hoods fmic before they started producing them for "off the shelf" so my pipes may be a little different? maybe mike can chime in or you can contact him. will try to get pictures still though!

[jrock]

that would be cool! have i met you before? either way let me know when your done on your build!

Think I talked to you a year ago or so trying to check out your ride as I noticed that you were building it for a 35r, but never really met. I sure will let you know as we will be a couple of the very few with such a setup out here! Surprise considering the amount of Audi's in CO!

[fotograf]

That had to be a LONG time ago. We haven't hit up D&B in over a year! I'd love to see it when it's done!
