Considering the locals and their 4AGE's the sky's the limit.....

There are a few golfs down here at the coast that are making 355Kw ATW 😮 . I drove one and the cars are shocking, in 3rd gear at 3000rpm I floored it and it wheel spun, snapped to 4th and it kept on spinning, I got scared so tapped off. The owner says he can keep on spinning till 5th and about 160km/h 😮 .

MAkes for a real fast car must be embarrassing when a corsa drills you.

hehe i was thinking the same thing

impressive power non the less

Chemcool there is a reason all my cars have double layered fibreglass pipe on the air intake. Very little heat transfer it also bends nicely and is smooth inside on the bends and no silicone joins.

I want one Duane!

and where is toby to stop the hijacking??? i reckon he only cares for his own project. oh well!!!!! 😂 😂 😂

annnywwwayyyy....

phinx - has anything else changed??? have you thoroughly checked electronics and the like???

if you got good comp, and nothing's changed, then why is your power down???? from my experience its the smallest stoopid things that are usually overlooked, and simple to fix!!!!

keep looking!

Thats true, but I have seen him run high 12secs down here at the drags. That was with drag slicks.

He now has plans for NOS 😮 .

What you guys dont understand is Phinx is Crazy, "Mal", Bonkers!

I've driven in the car, it has STACKS more torque than it did, resulting in less of a kick in the back when boost kicks in... Thats why I want him on the rollers sunday, so he can see what he's pushing out finally!

Never its down on power. 😕

Its just not right. I have redone all hose claps on Tuesday with expensive stuff just to insure that there was no boost leaks.

I have cleaned my Intake and Idle sensors, Checked all claps to and from the turbo to the boost controller, Gapped my plugs to 1.0 mm , I have reset the ECU if that makes a difference,cleaned the AFM again, Cleaned the cone filter. and check and fiddled with timing replaced the fuel filter.

And she is still down on power. I really don't have a clue anymore

timing and grounding??? and there wasn't much wrong with the CAS, 'cept bearings!!! - go figure!

water temp problems too.

those were my biggest recent problems. car was terrible until sorted!!!

Put it on a dyno and see. The problem is you get used to to the feel of the car and when you do a mod you expect great things but it feels the same.

Sit in the passengers seat and get some one to give it willy and then feel if the power is down.

Grounding is Sorted with the grounding kit.
Hmm maybe I should swap y CAS out with the spare? aswell as the water-temp sensor.

It feels slower in the passager seat. It used to scare me when brenwin drove my car and brenwins car scares me in the passager seat.

i've seen him on the track and i agree - it can be scary at times!!!!
