[owen lcr]

good stuff, wish i lived down your way as they know their stuff.  will be even better when they can do there own mapping aswell

cool, any idea how long it will take,,, days weeks, months???

Can rule days out me thinks.  Im sure it will come to light when its due to be finished 

he's son to be getting married. you should have included years

Think he means how long for the RR install Sy

taxi for me  lol, should read previous posts

Electrics are being moved this weekend, Girder support for the new extension to the workshop is going in straight after and then the RR goes in. Steve is going to be using TAT software and the guy fitting it in is the software developer. The developer is claiming his software is within 1% of a bench engine dyno

I am not keen on using g/s for power estimates to be honest. Example in question is Blades car running 2+ and making 250g/s approx via a forge twintake, and it has Milltek TBE, Twintercooler, RS4 valve, Autotech pump etc.

So which turbo did Steve put on that Golf exactly? The £1800 listed earlier in the thread?

Steve has had to do a few other things to the car, so the £1800 was going to be for the exchange turbo, fitting and software. I'll PM you the revisions

I have a spare K04 sitting, but I am thinking thats a lot of money to be honest and I have already paid out for Revo. I will be interested to see the difference in bhps ft-lbs, graphs and sprint times.

I wonder if Revo would be interested in using mine to develop a Revo file for this along with my WMI

Turbo dynamics need a mint turbo.  Any journal wear (dont know the tolerances) render it usels for hybridising (ive convinced myself hybridize is now a real word lol)

Thats interesting. I would have thought that being a turbo specialist, that they would have been able to deal with any wear/play. Makes their chances of doing hybrids of the K04 even less likely in that case.

The tolerance is just 1mm of play in the journal and they will not do the conversion. The issue with this is that if you send off your K04 turbo and they cannot do it as there is too much play......you get your turbo back in bits....they don't build back the K04 to how it was when it was sent to them This means that there is the possibility of you having NO turbo and having to source a new or nearly new K04 just to replace the one you sent off that was perfectly serviceable in it's OEM K04 form.

Aye, its a gamble, and even if the gamble pays off, its not going to be a cheap gamble.

[owen lcr]

yeah thats true enough, cant see a turbo being less than 6-700 for one with very low miles and a new one is £1260 + 700 for the work.

not doubt the car will fly but its a major gamble.

Well, Steve's car is on the Dyno now, so I guess we will all find out if the hybrid makes power as well as gobs of torque

[Tfsi_Mike]

The butt dyno will be suprised if it doesn't get the big four
