ianb, the price i got was from another memebr who got a quote from them, maybe there was comms errror some where allong the lines.

are awsome having trobles fitting the kit did you say? sorry i have just been skim reading the posts.
 
I'm just as interested as anyone else with this kit. I don't think they've short changed the kit for RHD as tests show in Australia with this manifold and pipework configuration the spoil up and power figures are even better than the US LHD kit....I have been told that the delivery is some 300rpm sooner.

I just hope the kit delivers the goods and is very driveable without too many issues...with sensible mapping I'm hoping that it shouldn't create massive heat problems but it's something that will be looked at in due course.

Any prospective heat issues will be related to your track use.
nearly equal length tubular manifold is one contributor to good spool
 
Did you have problems with room on any of your kits Bill and did it cause real problems on heat issues?
Ian

The compressor on mine sits close to the heat pipes thru the bulkhead, and the radiated heat from anything tubular scorches unprotected things. This is race use so extreme, but your track sessions will see yours working just as hard.

Its for you and Awesome to suss tho is'nt it.

:)
 
No problems yet with fitting the kit...track use is very much in mind Bill...I will have a conflab with Jim next week if it's tight and if there any extra shielding to be done.
 
Things are going pretty well at Awesome....all heat issues are being looked at before the engine is installed.

cool. i think thing will be fine, looking at the turbine housing and mani it seems that the mani goes out quite far but the turbo will sit quite far in so should be ok.

keep us posted and is there a ETA?
 
cool! sounding great!

you must be well excited

what car did you say it was?

HoocH


It's on a MKIV Golf......yep I'm pretty excited....hopefully things should be really moved on by end of the week.

Yep I've got some more pics...looking superb and it's all back in the car....plenty of space for the manifold and DP.

I haven't decided whether I will post them on here due to earlier comments by some...all I will say is that I'm glad I waited for this kit!!

Jim's Stage 3 TT made 386bhp on just the base Stage 3 code yesterday without running any adjustment....on Garrett GT2871RS unit though!

Ian
 
yah they sound about right for a gt2871r. i think you should make the 350 band or so which is cool.

i new there wouldnt be any issues with the mani, as i said it looks as if the turbo tucks right in under the manifold, looks a great kit its just too expensive :(

happy for ya, but why cant you post the pics? sorry i didnt catch what was said.

cheers

P.S. at least email the pics to me! im very interested in seeing the install, and i have nothing to criticize of the quality fitment etc, to me it looks a nice snugg install.

didn't think their rollers could calculate power at the flywheel on 4wd cars?as i'm guessing that can't be at the wheels? if it was that would be about 450-460bhp@the flywheel:rolleyes:

I think your right but Jim staed clutch power being what was measured.

Good results either way as his RR is pretty consistant IMO.:)

Photos on their way to Saul....lots of heat wrapping on vital area.

I know it maybe more expensive than other kits but I don't know by how much...I know the MTM and Sportec kits are alot more dosh...at least this is something new for prospective buyers who want a complete package and it comes with excellent back up warranty.

Only consideration will be whether the Neuspeed FMIC will be efficient enough!

Data logging tomorrow hopefully.:funk:

Can't wait!!
