Got my Stage IV and cannot believe the difference in power. The car takes off and keeps pulling 1.2 bar right up to redline!!! I had the install done @ a local shop and we ran into some problems with a loose hose somewhere and Stephen was on the phone with my mechanic on and off till about 9:30 PM on Thursday night guiding him through the whole process. Friday morning the car was running perfect and I really want to thank Stephen for his time and patience, he understands us speed freaks and definately knows how to build a fast car. I would also like to thank Ryan (Shank) for a great deal on the parts. I would of posted sooner but I have been out trying to race anything with wheels on it!!!

 

awesome, now get us some videos!

 

Did I tell you or did I tell you!!

 

Thanks soontobe, and Duane you were not kidding, the car hauls some serious ***!!!!

 

what engine mods did you do?
how many total HP?

 

sounds like a lot of fun!

Now, not that I want to see them mind you, but I am sure everyone else wants to see up to date pictures of your car with this months wheel / tire package !

 

I think he has the evo stage 4. Its 600hp and 650lbs of torque. Same as me!!

 

That is some serious power!!

 

Tony,

Just when I thought I was going to be able compare your chipped car vs. my virtually stock TT, you get the stage IV?!?!? WOW!!! Congrats and best of luck with it. When im ready for that kind of power, i'll call you.

 

what was the result before you found out about the hose. what was the car doing

 

Are you guy's sure about the torque numbers or did you forget to add "flywheel?" Stephen has great numbers on his personal car. I "believe" 589 ft/lbs. at the "rear" tires. I am putting down 609 ft/lbs. at the rear tires. I know the 600 HP figure on a Stage IV is flywheel HP which is 500 rwhp. EVOMS uses a 20% factor for that kit which would make 650 flywheel ft/lbs or 542 rear wheel ft/lbs of torque.

 

EM, I did the Stage IV 600hp/650tq at the flywheel. Doug, I should have some pictures tomorrow if it's a nice day and still have the Gemballa's on the car. Let me know when you get tired of the Techarts.
Darren, I was loosing boost on a loose hose and the car went into limp mode and only boosted .5bar.
CJV, I am talking RWHP!!! No, No, just kidding it's @ the flywheel. I wish it was at the wheels, maybe my next mod.
BCS, let me know when you wanna drive my car and we can set things up.

 

Tony, Stephen didnt tell you? WHen he updated the ecu, it was not the standard stage IV. You may very well be running RWHP just under 600. Keep in mind, Imagine has been working with those custom turbos you have that are very similar to the 650RWHP one coming for the GT2.

 

It could be because the car is just unbelievably fast. I will confirm things with Stephen.

 

I forgot to mention that someone backed up right into my front bumper and cracked the plastic right above my bumper plugs this afternoon. If anyone has a stock turbo bumper laying around let me know.
