pretty stinkin' insane.


WG line fell off last night and i hit 25psi. i can't drive the car anymore. i forgot what adrenaline feels like and my body is still recovering. back the workmobile to recover....

:woowoo: I want a video of that D!

[loxxrider]

lol classic...I hit 35psi on my 50 trim 1.8t one time because the wg line fell off. I did a few pulls before I figured it out. It was really intense.

I bet that felt really good though because these Holsets seem to really wake up above 20 psi

[audi.trevor]

let me know if you need any help with trying to tune it derek. Im pretty much always available lol.

[Kliminati]

That thing looks and sounds awesome....I found an old thread on vortex where you were making some carbon fiber front spoilers. How did they come out?? http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.p ... nt-spoiler

Does anybody know how the HE351VE does with 2.5 PR? I'm just curious what kind of flow there is. I'm betting it is probably too small for a 3800, but I'm definitely curious.

Not that it matters much, but I did find this on DSMTuners (or something like that):

dang it, i hate not being able to read those maps still... :frustrated:

[death 4kqt]

i took my car out this weekend for the first time in 2 months. Making 30 psi now that the air is cooler and I 'forgot' to tweek my boost control map. Pretty nuts. Holsets surely wake up after 20psi.

[nismo]

Unfortunately, its just not very detailed. Derek, there's a nice FAQ on Garrett's website IIRC. It's a 3 part article.

Eric

[derracuda]

couple things.

no more tuning, ECU and Computer are not talking again. same port used on the computer that previously worked, now i get the error message again :(


i finally took advantage of my 01E transmissions engine speed sensor hole and put the sensor there to read the tone ring on the flywheel.

before
after
sensor in the bellhousing

and i also took my new damper and had 1.5lbs machined off the outside face.


i do notice an improvement in throttle response i'm sorta toying with the TB wedge removal too.

also, after over two years, i finally got the rear seat..

the door panels are together, but i have to change a the top half of the panel because with the padding underneath, it's too thick to stick in the window wipe trim piece :(

[Hank]

What brackets did you use to mount the PS pump Derek?

I like the removal on the dampener. I will do that tommorrow

PS, I am working on your pm reply.

[derracuda]

PS/Alt bracket is Derracuda

[Hank]

Oh. I like that.

[RSCoupe]

Those rear seats turned out great!

[quattro87]

Way nice Derek. I like the serp setup and the seats turned out nice........and loud. :wink: You know what they say, if you got it flaunt it.

[derracuda]

the seats aren't near as bright in person. red yes, but not as bright.

[glibobbo21]

Saw it before but never really noticed. Thats not much "wrap" on the PS, does it slip? Nice work, keep it up!

[derracuda]

PS pump doesn't slip that i'm aware of. it's as much wrap as i could get without an added idler, which i didn't want to fit in.

[SeStone]

Porno red leather! Nice!!!!

Sam

[AudiSport4000]

Damn, that red leather is some sick shit, I love it. Very tastefully done (sez the resident CE nut)

[85oceanic]

Looks really great Derek!!!!!

[speeding-g60]

all this time, have i seen the car in person? other than in the dark at the Grand Opening??

only being like 20 minutes away from it and all???
