Great thread, great car :)

Good work Dan, keeping my eye on this. Be interesting to see the results from the new tubby :)
 
Guess what's here :D

2871r time!

Just need a clutch and injectors.

Nice, be good to see what you get out of it :)

And, I see it's already got the big inlet fitted, so just unbolt and send that bit to Bill for your custom 80mm adaptor ;)
 
Dan, the GTRS Eliminator kit (28RS-based) made 330bhp at 1.4 bar on an S3 setup in 2006, so you should be easily making 350 with the 2871R version.

The good thing with the Eliminator kits is if you wanted to have a 'proper' 2871R in the future just change the hotside over to the normal t-25 flanged one. Obviously you'll need mani and DP for it but it can be done. :)
 
Ideal, it'll be interesting to see what the relentless mani is capable of. I have looked at hot sides already, so yes it's certainly a great setup. The turbo I have has covered 1k miles, so really eager to get it on now!
 
Yes, bolts in the oem position to the manifold and downpipe.

The brake dust isn't too bad if you keep on top of it. I don't. And my wheels are ****ed. Lol.
