What do you mean... its there???

Nah, i took it off to take the photo... the engine cover is back on now dont worry

Just been in touch with Jackson re: silicone hoses. Looks like he supplies the MAF and inlet pipe only, not the TB hose which Im after. Plus he is in the US at the moment which means he wont back for another few weeks.

Will probably end up calling AVO AUS directly and ordering the TB pipe for now, and then order the MAF and inlet on Jackson's return.

Grab a Process West silicone TB pipe and they will throw in an intercooler with it - worth every bit of what you pay in my opinion! Call them directly or get Dan at Carmods to organise one for you.

oh you gotta love that. Nothing like it when the turbo spools and the car is pushing you in the back.

So I would assume an exhaust change, say going to 3" pipe work all round but use stock mufflers, decent dump pipe, spray kit and retune would net me close to 165-175kwatw roughly? How did MSR put it to you that he could get that type of power those minimal mods? Im all for getting the most out of the current system, but it does seem hard to believe.

I have 167atw (rtr dyno) from tune, pump and 3"tbe.
It's rather rich on wot for safety, given all the ring land and HG issues, I wouldn't expect to reliably make more and indeed the plan is to turn down the wick a little, again, so I'm getting around 16psi on average.
Till I can afford a rebuild that is...

Unlike engines, humans are very adaptable to power outputs.
Less power means being able to use more power more of the time.

I'm more influenced by the approach Coyote took with his GT.
E85 Vf52 supporting mods & tune 12psi (but ill skip the e85 because I want oil in my oil not water)

Stock 2.5t's are clearly delicate, Outfront Motorsports reccomend closed decking at even moderately high boost pressures.

Benny you seem concerned about the stock 2.5 once tuned

Doesn't it come down to the tuner ? The maintenance and of course being realistic with power outcomes and boost pressures ? You saying a vf52 is less strain on engine ?

Sorry for newbie questions

[bigBADbenny]

No its the focus on maxxing it out, to some number...

Like most things in life, its about your or your tuners INTENT. What do you intend to do?

I'm not implying anything at all.
Coyote ran a high energy fuel, with a turbo that has slightly better top end than stock, at a low boost level, for a sensible, safe, no doubt responsive power output.
Supported with a pump and injectors iirc.
Take my comments at face value, do your research and come to your own conclusions.

There's just too much focus on getting max power and not enough focus on getting the conditions right to make any power at all over stock.
Its the owners and to an extent, tuners, plus some peer group pressure.
Its not an issue I have with my tuner, thankfully. He knows where my afr's, boost levels and IDC's etc are at. So do I

But this discussion has no place in a members thread and I'll move my comments to a new thread in the 2.5T discussion forum, entitled something like:

"The 2.5T cannae take it, Captain! She's breaking up!!!"

E85 is a LOW energy fuel, hence why it needs more ignition timing to get it to ignite and offers a piston cooling affect for engine safety. However, higher combustion pressures have the potential to cause HG issues.

I finally got some time to put on my new rotors and pads on the weekend.
The pads are still bedding in so its too early to say if its an improvement in stopping power... but im sure it will be.

[peadya100]

Here's a couple pics of them behind the wheels.

I like !

Wow, what are they and how much? Looking good
