Am I still ok picking it up on Monday Paul?
Ive had a busy day today, so although I have been online, I havent had chance to post a reply to people.
Its awesome, full stop. I cant wait to give it a blast, yesterday was a bit of an odd day, not at TDi, just generally, I had very little sleep, wasn't feeling too brilliant and she wasn't happy that I had been at Tdi all day. 9:30 - 18:30. Anyhoo, I am over the moon with yesterday, it actually made better figures than I expected. Without the Valve springs I expected Paul to tune it to a similar bhp as the Supercharger, around 367bhp, but it did that on the 3rd run at 8Psi. So the tuning went on..... and on.... and on, until we reached 300ftlb, Paul had already told me that this was pretty much as far as we could go before we start putting too much stress on the Motor in its current (Standard) state.
The Turbo is good for 50Psi, so at this moment we are only tickling it really at 12Psi, less than a quarter of its capacity. If you look at the board I posted yesterday, as the Psi increases there is a bigger jump in the Bhp and torque levels, so we haven't really got the turbo at its most efficient yet.
The car will be staying as it is, it still looks standard from the rear and sides, I havent seen the front yet with the bumper on, but I will still be attempting the stealthy look. Gauges are still mounted low on the dashboard, the rear windows are tinted in the darkest film, so you can't tell the back has been stripped out. Plus the Turbo has made the exhaust quieter, it also sounds a bit like a Scooby now too.
Overall Im delighted with everything Tdi have done, and I cannot wait to see what it does with a built motor. Will be a few months yet though.
