205 at nite!

 

I am still at 191 in the day light...LOL..

 

Just a quick update on the exhaust work:

I had some problems with my turbos and I wasn't happy with the lag of my K24s, so I decided to upgrade to Tial Alpha A28s. I like the almost instant on boost more than top speed, which I don't go for too much.

The exhaust has custom 5" cats with big cones and hence a little work on the flanges was necessary to not block the internal wastegate pipe of the A28s. I grinded the flange and have opened it up a bit.

While I had the tool in my hands, I also did some porting on the A28 turbine inlets as well. There was quite a step inside the flange (see original pic).

Thank you Mark for the exhaust - I still like it very much.

And thank you Sam for the A28 deal and your support. It was a pleasure working with you.

factory K24's ? Just curious. I prefer the torque down low, and sometimes wish I would have gone with A28's or K16 Billets instead of K24/18g's. The 18g's aren't that laggy, but I think I would prefer full spool 500+ rpms to the left.

 

These were kinda 18Gs. K24 with 2480 wheel. Flows is like 18G, but the wheel is lighter. Still not what I prefer.

 

Nice clean install... cant wait to see what you think about the A28s....

Thank you Mark. Yes, I am keen to see if these really are what I want. I think I can start the car this weekend. I didn't have much time in the last few weeks, so wrenching was on hold.

When everything is going well I can do some test pulls on low boost with the BC and then the car goes under the knife again and the engine build will start this month. I want all the torque I can get from these turbos

 

Hi,

it took some time to put everything together - if I only wouldn't have to work for the money I spend

Boost Controller is installed, rev signal check this morning and as a byproduct, here is a short vid of what the A28s sound like with this exhaust:


If you can't wait, you can skip forward to 3:50 to hear a few short throttle blips. When the engine is warm, I may do another vid with some real revs moving the blades


Best
Andreas

 

Car sounds great!

 

Sounds great. Now get that thing on the autobahn

It sounds really good Andreas. You can really hear the turbos. Did your K24/18gs sound like these? Pretty cool you can hear the turbos even through the cats.

 

Thank you guys

No, my K24s do not come even close:


I already liked the exhaust a lot but these A28s really have added something cool to it. I must do another vid of the more aggressive tone when the engine is warm and I can push it a little. Did that today and if you already liked these vids here, you will love the next

thought it was turning pr0n at 6:13 lol

 

Sounds great Andreas! Now go burn the tires off that damn thing!

BTW, you better be running r888s or you're not gonna hook with
those a28s

 

Layinback,

Are the R888 what you run at your power levels?

Your 60-130times in the low 5 and now 4's, where they done on the R888's ?
