I've gone semi back to basics on plugs recently and I'm getting good results with ngk bkur7et's.  8's are also available.  Mine revs up to 7.5 much smoother now with these.  Bloody cheap too.

Teff is using these too.

Had a mk6 stage 2 car on the dyno a while back the guy had brought some super duper plugs (his words) our words IK24's along with him, cut a long story short the stock Bosch plugs went straight back in and I'm not talking a few horses down !!
I'm using stock Bosch TTRS plugs they seem to work best for me on this car, we adjust the gap a little though

Well that is interesting.  :happy2:

I thought the DSG box was only good (safely) for 400bhp???

Torque kills gearboxes and clutches, not power. Statllers are running well under 400lbft, I was running over 500lbft before i felt clutch slip. :happy2:

Anyone got some GTX30 and GTX28 graphs at all?

I know a GTX3071 is on chat at around 2000rpm on a TTRS, so Id assume on a 2.0TFSI it would come in 800rpm later at worst?

I'm up for a bit of plug and play when I have the time :smiley: the race plugs seem to go off fast for me might just be me though.

Ill see if I've got any GT28 dyno plots on the server still , they spool around 2850 but I always felt no useable power till 4200 ish, I've got some scoob ( sorry for swearing ) GTX30 & 35 plots I can post , the flat fours flow air really well but still nothing useable before 4k, I always felt a bit of a hooligan driving a 28 or 30 powered car, you seem to be screaming them everywhere to make good progress, no arguement for top end power though just look at the compressor maps on the GTX Garretts they do have top end pooof that's  for sure

I'm still waiting for mine to break!! I think they made my box out of the same stuff as Robocop !!
I honestly thought after the pounding and wheel hop @ Inters 2010 it would soon die but here it is plodding away still and your old one too John even after I was delving deep in its Bowels  :wink:

Been in Steve`s car today and can say it feels alot faster and smoother (as the graph suggests) than my old GIAC Extreme + file I had on my old car.

Car is very drive-able with a constant pull of torque.

Well done , sure more to come from this turbo.

So Chaps here's the next stage
The Direct port meth set up we'll use, an easy upgrade for anyone just make sure its jetted correctly so you don't damage the engine
We've stayed away from the alloy stage 1 & 2 manifolds for this setup simply for heat soak reasons and again to keep costs down.
The  current tune on the car is not intended for WMI at all, now we can tune safely for just that
We'll carefully try to dial more ignition into the map whilst not dampening the knock sensors as some tuners do, safety will still be built into the tune

We are starting hardware specific tunes A.S.A.P , there will be a certain hardware base kit needed to reliably run the turbo and then upgraded tunes for more and more capable setups.
Some internal mods will be required at the higher stages of tune but will still be based on a stock head (very slightly modified) and stock bottom end with some subtle but necessary mods, 
(By this I don't mean a built engine)

All 2WD maps will be heavily torque limited in the first few gears although 4WD will be balls out but may need gearbox mods dependent on use

Well went up to see Steve today been there all morning. Ive known him for over two years now & hes worked on everything on my car & hes a top bloke. I went out in the golf today & am really impressed with the turbo & no doubt the work Steve is doing. To say this car isnt running a map for this setup yet & its running the way it does is impressive. Yes the car spins in 2nd even with 888s & a little in 3rd but after showing me a few 3rd & 4th gear runs to ---mph its really quick & cant wait to see the work finished to see what it can really do.

Just to give you an idea how good this is even at this stage in the development today while I was there his mate came in an stage 1 710bhp rs6 & rolling 30 & 40+ the golf just pulled away from it!!

Over 1500bhp right there!

Good pic Phil - I sometimes wish that Statllers were closer to me, as their reputation & service feedback seems to be excellent.

So he can fit said turbo to it and make a very very quick car...
