New Car (caution, Non VAG Images)
« on: May 10, 2010, 05:47:49 pm »
Had it a couple of days now, how your going to keep it below 4500 rpm for 1200 miles I dont know.







BM have a new 'TwinPower' Turbo for the 335i a single double sided Turbo with each set of blades spun by three cylinders. Same Bhp but they calim 42 mpg on a run !!

Now were did I put that GruppeM catalogue........









Sorry about my daughters Punto!!





Obviously the first thing to do is read the book and make a note of the important things:

Launch Control:  Depress brake > DTC > DDC > M mode > 1st gear > Depress accelerator 'beyond resistance point' > flag symbol on dashboard > Release brake.  :evilgrin:

Veeeeeeerrrrrrryyyy nice choice Neil, looks mint, that intake doesn't look very efficient though. Do you know where there are any pictures/diagrams of the turbo? Be interesting to know what it looks like. Have you sold the Golf?

Yeh there's alot of plastic under there, this face lift model only came out in March dout if anyones developed a new intake yet, havnt seen any pics of the new Turbo.

Just couldnt bring myself to sell the Golf, going to keep it as a track toy  :happy2:

Its only done 100 miles so hard to tell but BMW claim 33.6 on a combined run so should be about the same which is quite impressive for a 3 Ltr turbo.

Very nice car. We gave my mates 335 *cough* Diesel *cough* Touring a good run yesterday. Sitting against an 840 at 80-flat out there was nothing between the 2 cars, baring in mind the 8series was one manned and we were carrying 5 people and the kitchen sink. Very good engines with fantastic torque. And dont believe the fact they are limited to 155 either! and still averaged 38mpg!

Obviously the above took place on a private runway!
