BCS "3" TBE hybrid system 80mm (twin)

<< < (3/12) > >>

Powervalve Nige:
Thanks Jack for your review.
It's great to be working with real enthusiasts, who only want the best potential products for their car.
We wanted to offer the best possible out of the box set up for the MK 5 which is why I went back to the drawing board and produced a hybrid design based on my original Blue Flame concept.
Not sure what has happened since I left BF, but let's just say that the down pipe needed to be re developed.
We opted for a 1d 76mm bend off the turbo to bring the downpipe perfectly central in the engine bay tunnel - so no stressed flex or knocks and bangs here.
Flex length is critical to correctly de couple the transverse motion from the engine - especially when running big power. Have a look at the OEM design below and compare with the flex length on the Milltek and then wonder why so many have experienced stress fatigue and cracking. It's also interesting to note the tube diameter at the flex - again not good when hunting for big power.



We also increased the front silencer size, to reduce interior cabin noise slightly - again in response to the guy's who want all the power without so much drama ( except you Joe - who removed the front silencer and opted for the silencer delete pipe :rolleye:)
The results are now spot on - we will be dynoing next week with all of our GIAC maps to show power comaprisons across the board.
Oh and watch out for the Valvetronic exhaust which will be released in October. This will be a world first on the MK 5 and features a full flow valve controlled exhaust note that goes from quiet on tick over and low revs to insane on boost. :jumping:
PS existing customers will be able to retro fit this new setup.
Once again guy's thanks for all of the words of encouragement so far - we couldn't do it with out you.
Cheers
Nige

Yes this is the modified system - originally we were selling off 5 Blue Flame systems - however, when it came to fitting them on our own MK5, it transpired that there were fitting issues that needed to be resolved.
We therefore came up with my new hybrid design. This stock has all bee allocated to customers.
However,we will be offering our new TBE which takes all of the positives from the hybrid system and utilises a flange connection at the rear silencer to aid fitting.
We will be selling the new design at £895.00
However, due to the response we would like to offer a continuation of the group buy at £795.00 for a minimum of 10 customers. The good news is that the parts will fit the Scirocco and MK6 if any one wants to rope in potential runners of these cars.
cheers
