Max boost was 20lbs.

 

1.4 bar ..... thanks.

 

NoMercy, Did you change the intake piping?

 

CJV, ... or 1.4 BAR. I am still new to this turbo stuff.

Craig, Check EVO's site. It explains everything there.

 

Craig,

I believe the carbon fiber intake piping is the same intake piping developed for Killer Angel. It really does work as you can see.

 

I know IA is using the S-Car-Go intake . . . I didn't realize that EVOMS is as well. Thanks CJV.

 

Craig,

Properly set up, that intake can be responsible for about 25 hp. I have had a person who works with PMS ask for pics of this intake. The size and bends are very nice, but the carbon fiber really keeps the air cool. Probably one of the best parts made from the development of my car.

 

cjv: by just reading the forums, I can tell that you are Dr Porsche, you know every single thing about the Turbo, I think you can make your own car!!

 

Craig,

You are too kind. There are alot of people out there that are constantly pushing the envelope and have made just as important contributions. Imagine, EVO, PES, Protomotive, Autothority, Ruf, Manthey, 9ff, TTP etc. Sorry if I missed some.

And don't forget, I just had a motor come apart. Not sure if anyone else has.

 

PMS?

CJV, Your carbon fiber intake is VERY impressive and I know people who are very happy with it. Thank you for spending the money on R&D to create this impressive product.

While carbon fiber has definite advantages (e.g., heat dissipation), it also has certain shortcomings. I have heard of more than one of these intakes that has cracked/splintered, including one that sent carbon fiber fragments into the turbo(s), thereby destroying the turbo(s). I know there are different explanations as to why this occurred and, according to the tuner, it should not occur if properly installed. Nevertheless, for this and other reasons, I elected to go with silicon intake piping and forego the heat dissipation properties of carbon fiber.

My intake is scheduled to be installed on Monday or Tuesday of next week. Given that my Stage V ZC turbos are currently starved for air (the stock intake cannot get them all the air they want), I am hoping for considerable power gains with the new, wider intake piping (probably in conjunction with larger injectors and/or fuel regulator). After the intake is installed, a new program will be written on the dyno and we will see what additional products are necessary to supplement the intake.

Speed Gallery is currently developing a proprietary silicon intake (presumably for less money than my Gemballa intake).

Craig, what you need is the Protomotive intake like what Wilber had on the blue turbo.

 

Craig,

The car you are refering to was Fred's car. Fred's intake was the first one after mine. If you install a new suspension you need to be sure it is not loose. If it is loose and it swings it will smash the carbon fiber. If it is installed correctly with backup lock nut and locktite you will not have a problem. Ever since what happened to Fred there are warnings about the suspension and what must be done. I do not know of any new installations since then that have had a problem. I say "new" because a second hand system may not have the manufacturer's installation instructions which has the installation warning.

 

Craig,

There is no other system that comes close with thye exception of the one Tyson is refering to. The system Tyson is refering to is a good system. It has pros and cons. The only draw back I know is it draws the air near the location of the hot turbo's.

 

Somebody may have already mentioned but I saw your car on the EVO website. It's amazing, one of the few turbo cab's that I have actually liked. A well deserved "Great job!"
