RS2 Turbo inlet Pipework PERFORMANCE UPGRADE?

[UUUdirs2newcastle]

The following pics are of my turbo with the headlamp removed and the top section of the Air Filter Unit removed.

Can anyone tell me if the alloy pipe in the picture is standard, the bright alloy pipe that is bolted directly to the turbo inlet side in the picture?

I noticed that the waffle bost pipe on the maf is cut short then hose clipped to hat alloy pipe.

Cheers.

I've not seen anything like that before but it looks like a neat idea as long as it's air tight.

It doesn't look standard to me. I have been on German ebay tonight and they seem to sell them on there? Like Andy says looks neat

of course the aluminium inlet pipeing is not standard.I can never judge a turbo size from a photo,but it does look bigger than the OEM turbo,with the normal K26 hotside.I will have a look @ the meet the following saturday.The pipeing itself doesnt increase performance,it only maintains it especially when rubber hoses tend to tear from time to time,thus creating leaks.
However this seems to be combined with a bigger compressor side.

Can you tell me at what rpm your turbo spools?

[UUUdirs2newcastle]

When the clock strikes 12 o'clock on the Rev Counter, the car takes off! I think about 4000rpm, may a touch more.

Another thing I was going to mention.............as seen in the second photo, there is a little oil sitting at the bottom of the inlet side to the turbo, in the alloy pipe. Why is this, is it normal and is it expensive to fix?

is that on 2nd gear or on 4th gear?

if that happens on 4th gear and up,then you definitelly have a K27-K26 turbo,which would take you at about 400hp.
If it happens in 2nd gear,then it could be an RS2 turbo with a remap.

Have you ever measured a 60km to 160kms time?Its the only thing i have roughly managed to do,so if that is at about 7.5 to 8sec then id say you have a K27turbo and about 400hp

Probs both. When I picked the car up, this guy in a new M3 drove past and I planted my foot. Nothing happened.............nothing happened.........the guy looked at me with a smirk..............then

pppppppprpprrrrrrrrrffffffftttttt Booooost! The car took off! (about 4000-4250rpm)

I will measure the speed once i get my goodies on!

Cheers bud!

generally, as the turbo gets bigger,the lag is bigger on lower gears(1st,2nd,3d),then on 4th is a bit sooner,and 5th,6th it should come a bit sooner as well.It also depends on mapping anyway.


If you manage to have it ready by the leeds meet that would great!! more things to test for me!!

No probs with the oil, the breather enters just before the compressor and this will dump oil in there that will come out of suspension.

Look like that MTM use on their mods car. I have on complete set with sport quattro maf.

[A80Avant]

that metal tubing type is also seen on ebay.de

I've not seen anything like that before but it looks like a neat idea as long as it's air tight.

I have seen such things for sale on german e-bay. Don't remember were they called mtm or dahlback inlet pipe upgrade. Good thing from such things is that they won't collapse under high power turbo when dealing with high negative intake pressure (eg. with clogged air filter, etc.).

This pipe that's on ebay.de has anybody got the german word required to find it?

I tend to find sellers are tight fisted g*ts on ebay.de and dont put pics on their auctions.

[A80Avant]

i would suggest you make a tubbing the way you want it jamo.At the end you will have all the holes in the right places,and diameters correct as well

thats how i had mine done
