[Audibits]

Have you checked that some joker hasnt done the old`banana in the tail pipe`on you... at 200k the momentery pause at 120 might be a deep breath before the next 20mph... is it a hesitation would you say?

Theres a guy in scotland sells loads of Audi bits he might have a boost gauge to sell you

very good LMFSO all i want is some info looking at a blitz system from the states

Im only joking buddy (great big laughing joker me)... so when its all healthy and running well straight upto 140 what RS2 bits are you planning to fit? Pop a wanted on the Wanted section for a boost gauge btw sure someones got one knocking about

no probs looking at a bliz boost system from the states
list of rs2 parts to be fitted ,injectors,wastegate,throttle body,also k27 turbo with tubular 5 branch manifold,de cat pipes then massive brembos to stop the bloody thing its all time and money need to get it all re maped once that lots on dont know whether to change the pistons and con rods or just risk it

To be honest with you, most of us don't get to see if there is a dip between 120 and 140 clicks with only 280 horses as our private roads aren't long enough. I am assuming that there is a private runaway open for cars at the weekend in your neck of the Scottish woods?

A boost gauge really will tell you a lot, as you may see a sudden drop off which could be caused by several things, but the experts on here probably need more info. Do you see normal overboost behaviour? have you got a stock WG spring.

Back to your problem, what RPM are you at between 120 and 140 and does the car have the same problem in lower gears at the same RPM?

All the MTM cars I have seen on the rollers have fueling problems at high RPM, but I am not the fueling expert. Swap out the ECU back to a standard unit and run down your private test track again. Even though the car will be a bit slower, is it smoother? If so, your MTM software doesn't like some part of your hardware.

A final comment for you is that with a good exit on the last corner, I can knock on the door of 130 on the home straight at Castle Combe race track at the Audi Drivers International. I can therefore legitimately say that with a homefries chip, my car pulls smoothly past 120 with no hesitation, so what you are seeing is not normal.

As Si mentioned (and id forgot) those ones did have some issues... not being funny here but if you havent got one theres a ecu on the bay atm

Why do you need a 5 branch tubular manifold when an RS2 item will will cope with
mapped RS2 power

the 5 branch is stainless steel it is basically for the wow factor i intend to get most of the engine chromed and polished plus i would say with the 5 branch it should let the exhaust gases out a bit faster with less restrictions this is only an asumption as it seemed to work for the 20v 7a engines
