1 bar of boost it looks like, is that what you run normaly?

[supradma71]

@wilsonhill12 Yes for this first year I ran either off the wastegate spring @ ~8 psi or at 1 bar. I do plan to get it set up to run 18 psi at all ~1.3 bar this next year.

@supradma71 how is the gas mileage on this car normally? i never believe EPA ratings

[supradma71]

@ralphpehrson Haha, this is a funny question. When I bought the car I had to drive it from New Mexico to Wisconsin. On the way back each tank was between 25-28 mpg. Ever since I got it home I use it just to have fun. I would say the majority of the time I get 15-18 mpg, using it for auto-x/lapping/speed runs etc. and the commute to the events.

20 sec 0-140, pretty good man for your set-up.

@supradma71 that's not bad considering the power it has. not bad at all.

[wilsonhill12]

@supradma71 nice, get a bov too, surge is bad bad bad

[supradma71]

@suprakilzz26 I also have an old Turbo Audi and when the DV fails it normally causes compressor surge and sounds very similar to this car with no BOV. I would check your DV, once mine was replaced it sounds only like a rush of air at all times (car is a 91 Audi 200 20V Quattro)

i love vids like this where you can actually see the road and not just the tachs and speedo

[suprakilzz26]

@supradma71 i wasn't sure if this was indeed compressor surge or just the way your bov/wastegate noises were. Because on my a4 when i had my old diverter valve and a CAI it would create a sound alot like compressor surge but it was just my DV fluttering....
