New news is that the car is running with a .25bar spring, and is running at closer to stock speeds, just so the car can be mobile. We are trying to figure out what to do in the meantime. Jimmy

Absolutely. We are in the works of getting one started soon, as long as there is interest ;)

Your using oil because the turbo has been seizing so hard, it cooked the bearing seals. Blame the factory ECU. seriously

I sincerely hope you guys don't do easy break-ins on these cars... How else do you plan to seat the rings?

I was surprised to hear that as well, as I was giving reference to actual turbo output. Compressor is a 59mm, what are you getting at? Is this another post where you talk to us like were 6 years old again?

yeah, mainly because the surge was so strong when the throttle plate would close under boost rapidly, plus the bov not opening, because its too small or something, it caused the nut on the compressor wheel to spin off, then you can imagine the carnage from there. We are back together now, so...

ok, so we are still trying to figure out why the throttle plate is prematurely closing under boost, which caused some massive surge, and popped the turbo.

no no no, we dont do that stuff here, especially when our friends at cp-e are working on a solution right now ;)

boost comes on hard at about 3500-4000rpms, and makes you crap yourself. 14psi on a 53lb/minute wheel, in a 3800lb car makes for some strange emotions. Also, we here at Tuning Grppe decided that we hate throttle by wire.

no problem, just need to remove the tmic shrouding

we still need to recirculate the purge valve, but here is a video for kicks...

getting street tuned right now, and the wg setup is a TiAL 38mm

you can bolt it on, no problem.

well, everything is different. we use a completely separate wastegate

divorced what? what are you referring to exactly?

lol... I get hysterical thinking about oil lines on this car... We are using full AN fittings for the feed and return, which will replace the entire factory drain. Feed line is not bad, it's a B**ch to get to if you dont have a lift, unless you dont mind removing the alternator (which should be...

stock setup sucks to tear apart!! Aside from fully tightening all hardware, our manifold/turbo/downpipe/wastegate combo takes no more than 5 minutes to slap together, then another 30ish minutes to torque everything. We decided to strip the block at the oil drain fitting, so were having oodles of...

cp-e standback for tuning. Car is on dyno in a few hours, maybe tomorrow morning. Just tying up loose ends, like any car build :p

still finding a reliable supply for aluminum piping, thats all 2.5" piping too

thread jack away, were trying out a new supplier, so let us know ;) We have these made FOR us btw
