In a perfect world...

[F16HTON]

What would be the most incredible turbo kit?

I picture it as a twin scroll, tubular manifold setup that matches perfectly with a ER Comp intercooler and SEM cast intake manifold...

Tell me what your thoughts are...

[7speed]

my thoughts are that you finally picked your turbo setup

Coupled with a custom tune on a fully built motor with aftermarket cams, valves and springs. The cams will help the engine breathe with that new IM and the springs will allow a very large powerband.


Has it begun?

Which would be sold with the kit, and proven to adapt on all cars

[A4ringedONE8T]

If only the world was perfect and we all had lots of money!

[AudiA4_20T]

HTA86 turbo making 630awhp on pump gas

[OCMI_Teddy]

Of course. How else would a 'solid package' be sold?

That will come. Give it time and be patient.

Is that what defines a perfect world? I never though along those lines.

Lots of money being enough to buy the setup he/you is describing. Not too many people can dump the 10-12k all at one time on a build like that would require. I'm sure someone or possibly even you will say look at my car, however I have done everything over a large period of time and my biggest splurge at once being the HRE's. Even with the money spent on my car I havent nor do I see in the future myself having enough to do a complete setup all at once costing as much as it would said and done. The result would be a bunch of hodge podge, unfinished, untuned cars with less than desireable results as we have right now.

good point. i somehow did not connect your comment with greg's. i was thinking too literally about a 'perfect world'.

In this day and age, a perfect world IMO is everyone having enough money to support their families and actually be able to pay bills and not give their possessions back to the bank.

[Molotov]

in a perfect world everybody would f*** like jenna haze. Just putting that out there

[vdubstreets]

In a perfect world we wouldn't need a turbo to a the power we want.

thats what she said

[mike-2ptzero]

I think greg is just trying to describe the setup he would like to see actual get done and wants to see what other people would call the "perfect turbo setup" they would like to see on an A4 1.8t.

Not like we have any way of building it.

[CO AVANT]

The setup you are describing sounds very promising Greg. I'm in. Once I get some cashola You build it and they will buy it. Go for it guys I don't think you should hold back. Now is the time to get production up and running, hehehe ;)

[A4 TSCHUSS]

Anyone heard more about the SEM intake manifold? They showed the prototype casted up but havent heard anything since then.

[A4ringedONE8T]

haha yea kinda went OT

FR Tubular V-Band Mani, Twin Tial V-band 38's, V-band 3076R with 3582R option, V-band downpipe which mates to stock 3 bolt exhaust flange (after CAT, no welding required), metal 3.5" TIP with a connection block for those who run full vac system or none, and locates the filter back in the engine bay with a heat shield between the turbo/manifold and filter with a CF cover which covers the filter and directs air from the stock inlet port in the front clip, Mating ER Comp with optional upgrade piece for current ER owners supplied with a Tial 50mm BOV welded in place, connecting to an R32 or VR6 throttle body on a SEM intake manifold

Is that perfect enough?

Well we are thinking about doing 2 different versions. Just waiting to set a date to take the cars to the shop.

[Molotov]

you guys want mine, bolt everything on it, and let me steal it in the middle of the night?

[HTA A4]

I would want a 2.7 biturbo with twin GT28's on there! There's a thread in the B5S4/RS4 section with it... That would be sweet! If only, if only, if only........

[mike-2ptzero]

Then your in the wrong "dream forum".

Easily doable, not so easily affordable...

[HTA A4]

Lol! I knooow.. I've also been watching the Eurocode build of one over and over..

But with a 1.8, I think Greg has the right idea!

by the time you get there, a GT35R A4 isnt too far off and is cheaper

[Molotov]

yeah I think it's mostly us GTRS or equivelant guys who need to be patient, we thirst for more power much like you guys, but require a bulletproof solution to jump in. At least that's my case, I certainly don't want to be the one putting all the hours and money into figuring out the next power plants for the B6. Thumbs up to you guys for having nuts haha

The catch with going beyond a GTRS is $$$. It takes a forged bottom end (minimum rods) so you are increasing the cost exponentially to obtain higher and higher power numbers. To go get that extra 50awhp you are spending a lot of money. It comes down to what the customer feels is worthwhile to them.

In the end, in the ideal world we are thinking, there will be multiple packages ranging from the GTRS on stock block to a T/S 3076+ on a built block with software for those configurations. The later hasn't caught up to the level and reliability of the GTRS. However, it is coming.

[Molotov]

yeah, I didn't mention the built internals.. it was a given

"increasing the cost exponentially" is the key phrase there..

Doug is right though, it's coming, we just need to give it time.

Whenever a problem surfaces with my car or I see something new I want for it, I tell my dad and his response is "Anthony, all it takes is money." And then he laughs and walks away..

[dougyfresh]

/\
It is the case with any performance vehicle.

I think my friend's 2,000hp supercharged big block was $50k without the supercharger and supporting mods.

[mike-2ptzero]

Not to mention a whole lot easier to work on.

[HTA A4]

Very VERY true.. You don't have to pull the whole f*ckin motor to get to the turbos..

[F16HTON]

Keep the thoughts coming...

I have not hear anything about the intake or aesthetics..

[dougyfresh]

If we are to go V-Band everything on the turbo I would like it in a location where it is easy to get to. Where would we route the intake? Run with or without a MAF?

[HTA A4]

What software would this be run on Greg? Custom?

[HTA A4]

If custom, then no MAF and just a filter like Mike has on his 35R.. Or like Shawn's or Daniel's

[mike-2ptzero]

What software would this be run on Greg? Custom?

I myself would love to see custom tunes done by a few different tuners, this way the customer has an option of what tune they would like to get with the turbo setup.

[actlsub9]

If you build it, he will come.

[AudiA4_20T]

Fock Aesthetics...

V-band everything, WG, turbo to mani, turbo to exhaust, Intake will consist of a massive filter

[texasboy21]

A rocket

lol my dad owns a rocket motor company, they make really really big ones the govt uses to test missles and such, trust me it could be done easy. hahaha i would be the first ever k03 to break 9.xx in the quarter mile
