I've spilled bits & pieces across the forum, but I'm finally taking a few minutes to log everything in one place.
Starting Point: 2002 996 Turbo w/ X50 package, Undercover catless x-pipe exhaust, eurodyne tune, 5 bar FPR, and H&R springs
Goal: I didn't necessarily have a target number in mind, but the overall goal here is to create the "ultimate street car." That means different things to different people, to me that is reliable, drivable, comfortable, and hella fast. The car also needed to be in a more competitive state for the various roll-race events. For 2015 the focus will shift to suspension & braking.
Planned Upgrades: I went to Garth at Undercover Performance for everything. He helped me put a plan together that would accomplish my near-term goals while keeping things ready if I want to jump to the next level
Status: I stopped by the shop yesterday and we are almost ready to hit the dyno for tuning. My exhaust and y-pipe will receive their final touches this week and I'm hoping to finally pick up the car sometime next week.
Is there a benefit to externally gating hybrid K24s? You don't hear of that being done very often.
Looking forward to seeing your results!
i found the answer to this first hand. initially i had internal wastegated 3071 turbos. while garth was tuning the curve was erratic as all get out. i found out the turbos are spooling faster than the wastegate's can keep up with. the external w/g allow a smoother faster transition and the curve was a smoother better line
it also allows for more boosting in the future whether on his current turbos or if he decides to change out to bigger. for me I'm only on 14 psi springs. i do have the ability by adding springs to bump the w/g pressure to 25 psi on these w/g. more psi will require bigger w/g which can be installed in minutes and these put up for sale
so this is why some of you guys use the bov's? always wondered the difference, and where/how it became apparent.
blow off valves (bov) to allow pressure to be released when shifting or releasing the fuel pedal
wastegate's are used to control boost. 2 different animals
