With the stage 3 turbo kit the aim is 600hp from what I've been told. Some argue the turbo can't flow that much, but APR have their own theories. We will soon see. Once stage 3 is wrapped up and signed off stage 4 will come next.

650hp/650lbft is my final aim on vpower.

I've seen them flow that kinda power before, on the 4g63 2.0 Evo lump, they will do that no probs - the only area that becomes questionable is the longevity of the turbo unit itself at those boost levels.
Things like shaft speed and charge temp created by the additional frictions come into play

Like I said, great build - looking forward to seeing this thing fly  :smiley:

Turbo longevity not too much of a concern to me! Will be interesting to see how it drives with the gtx3076, I reckon its got enough motor to push a gtx35 without affecting driveability too much, but am really after a nice balance of response and power.

650hp and 1350kg should be bloody quick either way. Gives a power to weight of 480hp per tonne which is the same as a Ferrari Enzo.


Bought some H&R arbs from alex @ AKS tuning, now pondering the new forge race intercooler.

We will be fitting one to the roadster ASAP hence why Ive now got a THS listed in the for sale section!

The one thing that I noticed, the compressor housing doesn't have the anti-surge ports ?
Does that unit not suffer at all ith any for of compressor surge ?


A well spec'd GT35 on the right engine (exhaust gas flow) can be useable - depends on the rebrand you want the power at

Personally I'd stick Witt he 3076 with 600 ponies, makes for a better all rounder and the power band is archived allot sooner making the car alittle more all round drivable.

Im not sure TBH, this sorta stuff is all new to me so Im learning as I go along. Its still all in the development phase anyhow.

I know that my engine builder doesnt even run a dump valve on his evo, makes it super responsive, compressor surge doesnt seem to be giving him issues, but hes got so many trcik bits on his.

Fair enough, keep the updates coming, like I said before, I'm loving your work so far

Who's your engine builder ?

Evos gone, but Racedevelopments have just put down a deposit on their next project.

Their new build is honestly going to be EPIC!!! Build of 2013 mark my words.

As for the little TT, ive bought myself some xmas presents.

H&R Arbs from AKS Tuning, and a double din kenwood headunit to replace the crappy single din.

Slowly getting all the bits together to get closer to completion.

Found these earlier
