Taking into account the complexity of making it work well, weight added vs. power gained.. Its probably not worth doing really.. One engine is just about right I think  :wink:

Would be fun yeah.. If I can convince the guys at BSH to do a 24V manifold I may consider it..

Only issue is potentially the gearbox.. I would much prefer to run DSG but I really think there would be issues without some beefier clutch packs.. Just need to wait and see what happens with the transverse DSG box development.. I think SSP are looking at something currently actually..

With all that said, the ED30 is going to be SERIOUSLY fast when its done.. I hope the weather is good on the 17th so I can show what I mean when I say its fast..

So far sweet Jonny. And any company that do uprated clutch kits for the DSG please?

I can only find one company in the States. Anyone else out there?

Thanks.

Not at the moment, there is another company testing.. I really don't know much about the HPA upgrade.. Don't think many have gone for it to be honest.. Mine seems 100% fine at the moment, so I'll have to see how it is once we turn it all up.. Hopefully all good!

I would prefer to run standard DSG internals if I can get away with it, much cheaper to replace in the event of a problem plus, I already have them!!  :smiley:

....

Shaping up really well  :notworthy:.

One thing I noticed is no heatshield between that beautifully sculptured manifold and the gold wrapped Twintake. Do you feel that the gold wrapping is sufficient in that area?
