Love the TD 1.3's. Glad to see that you're sticking with the Team Dynamics style wheels!

For the money I think there fantastic! Look good too.. Can't wait to see them in the flat black 

[Hurdy]

Is it definite that the R26R is a full lap and not bridge to gantry?

I though that they used bridge to gantry as standard? No?

Sorry for the small threadjack Jonny

I'd put a substantial bet on that an ED30 400+bhp lightweight (sub 1100kg) car driven by a professional race driver can beat the R26R time!

If someone can peddle a fat arsed Focus RS around in 8:26 with road tyres and 300BHP - then I don't need to see anything proved, as nice as it would be. Finding 10 seconds more than an RS with less weight, more power and a race biased set up on sticky tyres isn't that hard in theory for the hardware... that'll do.

But paying for a track day, travel etc etc to win an internet argument - who does that?

... and on that note, let's move on. This has been a great build thread to date, let us all allow it to continue 

[Hedge]

Hear, hear!! Thank you Dom.  

[jonnyc]

Cheers guys.. 

[chungster]

...and soo the festive season of happiness and big turbo's continues! 

[prepree]

Has it arrived???

Has it arrived???

 

Waiiit a minute lol.. 

[jonnyc]

Wellll... Merry christmas everyone!! :) (almost)

All of the bits arrived from both Owen Developments here in the UK, and BSH in the states..

First of all a BIG thanks to Lee at Owen Developments, turbo looks amazing, and can't wait to feel what differences the upgrades will make over the standard GT3076R turbo..

And also a big thanks (again) to all the guys at BSH, great service, AMAZING products and in my eyes the only way to go big turbo with the 2.0T FSI!!

So here we go..

The turbo from Owen Developments. As I have already said, this turbo is far from standard spec.. Here is a run down of what I went for, kind of ticked all the options!! 

* Garett GT3076R core
* Owen Developments polished compressor inlet diffusor
* Owen Developments conical compressor wheel nut
* Owen Developments competition spec bearing cages and bearings
* Owen Developments competition spec exhaust housing stud kit
* Owen Developments competition spec internal heatshield
* Tial Sports 0.82 A/R V-band exhaust housing

Its basically the spec of turbo that they use on the new F2 cars, with a couple of little trick bits added on top.. All of the options put together will make for an over all more, responsive, higher flowing, more reliable package..

Heres some pics, they kind of explain themselves..






Again im running with the Tial Sports V-band MVS external wastegate, this time in purple, just because it looks trick as hell!! And well.. Why not!? 

Loved the way it was packaged up, cool stuff!!




Now for the BSH parts..

This is everything that is included in the WOA BSH Big turbo kit, apart from the boost pipe and downpipe, both of which I will fabricate from what im already running on the car at the moment..

First of all the manifold, absolute piece of art!! Ill be running it for a little while to let it bed in before ceramic coating, this way it avoids any increased chances of cracking during the break in period..







38mm dump tube - I have got something a bit different planned for this haha..



Aluminium turbo intake pipe



Silicone connectors and clamps..



Water / oil lines and connectors



And lastly, I ordered the lower mount from BSH.. Looks again to be fantastic quality, and will just finish up the mounts on my car!



So thats about it.. The car goes in tomorrow for the work, and should be complete (with all going to plan) within a week.. So in time for Christmas!! A present from me, to me!! 

[Hedge]

This is going to be one special car.

 

[snapey]

That manifold is something else  .

What are the brass fittings for on the intake pipework? I thought that there was only the D.V teed off on the Ed30's?

Looks something else though dude, should be completely bonkers

Lovely isn't it!!

For the wastegate and N75.. There is one more on the Turbo outlet (boost pipe) which allows the N75 to control the wastegate etc..

[jonnyc]

Oh and this is what I have planned for the dump tube!!




May aswel make it 100% bonkers!!
