Well, a lot of stuff has been happening to the car over the past few months but I've been out of the country "on business" for most of the time so haven't had time to write an update.

Firstly the car went into AKS Tuning for some surgery where it had the following fitted........

New TTE420 Turbo.....
AEM Dual Port WMI Kit........with AKS spacer install.....
TTRS LPFP.........
155bar FPRV..........
AKS runner flap delete.......
PERON intercooler..........
Ground Control Top Mounts........
Polar FIS...........

Difference in the turbine compared to stock k04 (it's also much thicker too).

Thankgod I didn't have to route all these bloody wires! :blink:

Going to build a little carpeted box for the WMI pump to keep things neat and protected.

The boost controller was hidden at the end of the dash to keep things looking fairly OEM inside the cabin.

Power switch down by OBD Port.

WMI activity light was added to the existing boost gauge pod which shows power status/when it's injecting and also when reservoir is low.

My personal "Breaking Bad" setup at home now......:lol:

A Polar FIS was also added to keep a constant eye on how the car was behaving from now on.

Whilst the RFD was fitted my injectors/inlets were cleaned and a new injector fitted to ensure everything was running well before tuning. The Ground Control Top Mounts were fitted and another epic Geo Setup performed creating such and amazing handling car, it's SO pointy!!
:clap:

Alex txt me whilst I was away and told me he wanted to keep my car! :-o:wtf::lol:


I was out of the country so Alex then delivered the car up to Niki @ R Tech to have him wave his magic wand over the ECU and see what he could do with this new hardware setup.

This was only the 2nd TTE420 Niki had worked on so the mapping was completed over a few weeks. This was to allow him time to develop and tweak base maps before moving onto more "balls out" ones! :jumpmove:

These were the results after the first day.........

I'd asked Alex/Niki to create a linear power delivery for me as peak figures are not what I'm after. I wanted to have a really driveable car that would perform as both my daily and track sl@g when required. To say that's what I've been given is an understatement, it's drives almost like an OEM K04 but when pushed just boosts and boosts with no sign of letting up. The WMI keeps the temps down (which you can see falling on the POLAR FIS) and now it's had the RFD done it pops and bangs a fair bit which I'm shamelessly over the moon about! :whistle:

The map obviously has all the standard R Tech Trademarks including switchable maps via the pedals, anti compressor surge and Traction Control mapping which is a revelation.......I've now got more power but can put it down more easily than when I was Stg 2+.......all this and with ZERO Correction Factors throughout the entire rev range in all gears.:clap:

The WMI wasn't even mapped in so the timing could be pushed harder but tbh I'm totally happy with it the way it is.

We did run into an issue during mapping which was the 200cell Milltek Sports CAT just couldn't get the gasses out fast enough and wasn't happy up at the top end.

Solution.........3.5" BCS DeCAT Downpipe has been ordered along with a full BCS system to boot. Once that's fitted it's going back to be wound up some more to see what it makes then! :whistle:


A couple of hints to other drivers who are in the know.........

Holy crap!!! That's some bloody good power. 420bhp/410ftlb is just mental. The set up you have now is brilliant, I'd love a person intercooler, but after the rebuild our lass would just say no especially with the wedding next year. Have you changed you're rods or pistons yet? If not what are they safe for with WMI?

Cheers buddy, yeah she's a beast to drive now........Really good fun! I know what you mean about the women saying no....hence the secret car fund!

I'm still running the standard internals buddy, there's quite a few of us doing it.....fingers crossed they hold up. If not, then they'll get uprated too!

Also finally managed to fully disable the annoyingly intrusive VAG ESP after a bit of VCDS digging....will be ace on the next track day!:funk:

Going to make the most of the nice weather and change my spark plugs and cam follower today, just for some added peace of mind.

So, the car has been in with the guys at R TECH having the map tweaked after the exhaust being changed.

Here's some of the early results from FB.

FB_IMG_1438450921661_zpsjwn2zqwv.jpg


440.7bhp and 427.7fl/lb.

Cannot wait to get her back, planning Snetterton 300 on September the 17th, should be a good shakedown.
