Miles on your BT?

[traf818]

How many miles do you guys have on your BT setups? I'm at 40k and running strong. 55k overall.

Yo traf, you should come down to some of the meets in the Valley some time. I want to see another Dolphin Grey! I might be setting up a canyon run this weekend if you'd like to join.

I like this question but to add to it, how many miles and what kind of problems have you encountered? Were they inevitable or human error that caused them?

Started at 50,000 and now at 79,000 so 29,000 miles with the big turbo. My current "problem" is I burn some oil but that is due to revving so high all the time which wears the rings more. Another problem I had was I blew a tranny to smitherines. I snapped the shaft coming out of the tranny that goes into the engine and it caused a few gears to get chipped in the process. This is a rare occurance though (snapping that shaft) aka the prop shaft.

damn what a complainer! minor problem like that?


although i dont have bt, I would imagine a properly supported setup driven reasonable should last like anything else but if you half ass it and beat it to death, you might run into a few more problems...

werd. i'll be down either this week or the following. But i'm not sure how well i'll be repping Dolphin Grey since i busted my oetty and i'm using a temp bumper right now.

And as for the canyon run i'm 90% in and i'll bring a buddy with his new 2.0 TSI A3.

haha I know, sorry Sad that I can honestly say Ive tried pretty much every setup available for our car

[B6Lovin]

only about 2k so far... down for another upgrade (and rebuild lol)

this past 2k has been better than the 25 that preceded it combined.
BT ftw
BAT ftmfw

[A4TL]

so 20-40K not bad. how much an engine or tranny set you back (tiptronic) installed? just so i can have a stash of money in case WHEN either/both fail

[Redgoat]

about 30k, 38k total on the car

[socaudi]

Hey Ralph good to know your car is running like a beast. I have 67k total miles and 50k on my GTRS setup. Only issues have been the ATP manifold cracking. Second revision manifold still holding up just fine.

have you done a writeup and dyno for each and every setup? i would be interested in that if you haven't.
