[nein-reis]

uh ohhh which wheels ??

[BUSAfREAkA4]

When I create my new thread you will see. Until then I leave you in suspense...

Dun dun dun!!!

[AudiHere04]

I was wondering when you were going to start your build. I have some parts you may need. I'll PM you.

[bwoy1981]

Staz you have PM! I have something for your build!

[RLB6]

Another tiptronic build .

[Dan[FN]6262]

a 6262 would look better hanging off your engine than a 2860..........

[BUSAfREAkA4]

I also approve this post!

[dougyfresh]

nope... 2868 :)




Staz... don't buy injectors until you've figured out your softWare. ASP has a 28rs file. you can prob also run a REVO GTRS file.

[CoreyRS]

looks good! Do you have the eurogear trunk lid on now? I love the b7 style molded spoiler.

[Dan[FN]6262]

nope... 2868 :)

a VERY nice turbo

haha I was going to suggest this, but I figured pretty much no one would know what I was on about.

[kneel]

nope... 2868 :)

listen to doug he helped me alot in my build process.
like he said take my 28rs and turn it into 2868 !

[Staz]

neil what do we need to do to make that happen ??

im all ears guys, def want this to be a successful build so im open to all suggestions

[kneel]

sending the turbo out to Force Performance, they will take of the rest for a small fee!

[FORCE_FED_DUB]

Why external wastegate on a t25 2860?

[Staz]

why not ?

[jursch2211]

Looking forward to this build Btw do you have any other pics of the Eurogear CF hood on your car?

[EErie B6]

Why external wastegate on a t25 2860?

why not ?

I guess I don't see the reason for this either... only added expense/complexity.

[FORCE_FED_DUB]

why not ?

Well most (if not all) T25 GT2860 come internally gated, so my question is why go though the expense of welding the internal gate shut and adding an external gate?

[Bische]

i knew i forgot to add something lol .. i have no clue what im doing for an intake yet .. suggestions ? its going to be a t25 housing to support the 2860

I would love to see a stock airbox with that PSi manifold

[Dan[FN]6262]

I believe the turbo was originally on a car that had an existing external wastegate setup, so they just welded it shut instead of changing the downpipe and everything else, since the external wastegate dumped into the downpipe.

[Kittrell]

when the funds permit:
517 torque converter & valve body

If you want to prolong the life of your AT I would recommend these before you start bolting on the power, the converter at least.

[Staz]

Looking forward to this build Btw do you have any other pics of the Eurogear CF hood on your car?

yeah i went to 2 shows this weekend i should have some when they post them up .. i dont want to post iphone quality pics up lol

I would love to see a stock airbox with that PSi manifold

yeah im not sure if the carbonio will fit so i have to find something else :/

yep you are correct

theres a big possibility of a tranny swap further down the road , maybe come spring time if all goes as planned

[dougyfresh]

I really like the colour of those wheels.

so does anybody know whats needed to make a b6 s4 6 speed tranny work in my place of my 5 speed tip ?

As far as the crank, installation? I did a manual swap on my car, but I have a VR6. In the portion about of swap of trans stuff in my build thread I have a link to another person's thread that did a swap on a b5 1.8t.

i meant to write 6 speed tip tranny from a b6 s4 to replace my 5 speed tip

i know the s4's hold a lot more power for a stock tranny so id have a lot more to work with

[Dan[FN]6262]

If you're going to go through all the trouble of swapping transmissions, fucking do it right and get a standard. just trust me. and I'm sure many, many others will agree.



EDIT: reads more harsh than I actually mean it. but I wanted to get my point across.
