Hello all,
Some of you might have known me from my crazy days of modding my tdi's over the years, but i no longer own an tdi as of about a year ago. I have since then been daily driving an Chevy Volt that has really made an impact on me since the torque of the electric motor in sport mode...
What are you talking about, i was forced to scale back fueling on my tune to allow my car to be drivable without constantly going into limp mode from fuel rail pressure drop... so i would say i along with a handful of others have pushed it past its limits.
Power numbers wise, i am honestly unsure at this exact moment.. the closest dyno to me is over an hour away and just dont see a reason to take the trip just to get another dyno sheet that i get 1000 PM's about talking trash... like the last time i had it dyno'd
Its located in Tampa, FL... Its actually on the car lift right now.. putting new rear wheel bearings and all new rotors and brakes on, got some larger OEM calipers from a friend who upgraded to stoptechs.
the cams fell through.. they told me for over a year they were ON THE WAY, but they never showed up.. so i gave up trying or caring to deal with them anymore
This is actually not the first time i have heard about this turbo company i didnt know they had TDI turbo's or sold them for this cheap of a price, but there is a guy in my euro car club that has an Stigan version of the gt4594 on his LQ4 junkyard engine Silverado that runs 10's in the 1/4 mile...
I am posting this up to see if there is any interest to buy my beautiful 2009 VW Jetta TDI w/78k miles or trade for VW Golf TDI w/DSG + Cash. It is a highly modified and a custom tuned car that is daily driven and enjoyed. It is one of the FASTEST and MOST POWERFUL COMMONRAIL TDI cars in North...
that really sucks man.. i was really enjoying your build and hoping the best for you to get it fully running..have you thought about doing a clean old skool 8 valve turbo setup? seems like all the 1000hp cars in europe are going this route for some reason.. you would think the 1.8T would be...
Ya, the guy at the ticket building told me that if i could drop my 60 ft i would run decent numbers.. he said every .1 off of the 60 ft translates to around .2 off the 1/4 mile.. not sure how true that is.. but if its true that would put me in the 14 second range with a decent 60 ft
Thanks man, i love the way the car looks.. simple, clean and refreshing with a spice of power under the hood.. its very hard to keep a relatively fast compared to stock car nice and clean looking when you go to car shows.. its normally one or the other.. rarely do you see both in one car.
No i have not sir, i have just been so busy and the car is not driven everyday.. its sits alot due to my surgeries this year on my left knee and recovery i have been through for each surgery.. so i have not gotten around to it.. after FixxFest i had to ice down my knee because i was hurting..
