    B8 A4 Top Mount Turbo Build +500awhp

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey everyone, I am building a top mount build with the goal of minimum 550awhp.
    I noticed our cars don’t have much out there for research so I’ll do my best to help provide knowledge.

    This is my first time doing a big turbo setup.
    I am very mechanically inclined, yet haven’t had the opportunity till now, tips and pointers are appreciated.

    I’d like to start with the build plan.
    I will be doing a complete engine rebuild.
    This means; valves, springs and lifters, along with pistons, rods and bearings
    Custom exhaust manifold.
    T4 divided pt6466 or pt6266 Gen2
    Twin disc clutch + flywheel
    For tuning, I know a guy that currently has a similar setup with Eurodyne, will go off that or learn myself.

    This build will be completed for spring time.
    I will be making YouTube videos on the process (filmed the first one today)

    I will do my best to make a parts list but it always changes as you go.

    Main build parts:
    Precision turbo 6266 gen2 or 6466 gen2
    Two V-band turbosmart BOVs
    Custom manifold from lunchboxfabrication
    DKM stage 5 twin disc+flywheel
    Oil lines tbd.
    CTS PCV block off plate
    Ferrea valves
    IE Springs
    HPFP Upgraded piston
    Retro fitting Walbro 450 (will make video)
    Riffle drilled IE 22mm rods + pins
    Mahle 22mm pistons
    Calico coated rods bearings
    ARP Rod bolts
    ARP Main studs
    ARP Head studs
    (Will upgrade stock intake manifold, want to see how far ours stock can go)
    Big brake kit at some point

    Obvious maintenance:
    Timing chain kit (comes with all top end seals)
    Plugs
    R8 coils
    034 Rear main seal
    Water pump
    Oil pump
    New belt

    Sounds like a fun project I'll be looking forward to checking out your videos. There should be a lot of good info in the big turbo threads that may not be the same setup but still applicable and informative. good luck!

    For Tuning this build I highly recommend you check out Ward Performance Tuning on Facebook. He’s proven to be the best tuner for this platform and is a pleasure to work with. He does remote tuning using HP tuners. He has a group on Facebook I’d recommend joining. I’d even hit him up to make sure you have all the correct parts and what not. I wouldn’t go any other route for tuning personally.
