Yer, the same old story of less of a heavy foot
The problem has only really come about because the car is running to efficiently i suppose, making boost very early and making lots of it.
Yeh mate, it sounds really promising - the figures you said sound amazing - great spool up.
Also you've gotta remember the stroker kit will help make the creep worse aswell - more airflow to flow through wastegate.
Anyhow good luck mate which ever route you take, but personally i wouldn't pull the turbo off / manifold off the have to redo piping etc, new wastegate etc.... Loadsa expense just to make it have less power when it rains - just keep it in a higher gear and use the torque.
Yer my thoughts to be honest, a big expense and a potential for things to go wrong when putting it all back just to cure a problem that can be cured with self control with driving slower during wet weather.
Ahh so it must be stepped down from wastegate to pipe at the moment then - ifso it'll be cheaper.
A few numbers about what the car has made recently. Boost control has been a biach but here are a few digits.
Car made 456BHP / 435LB/FT @ 30psi yesterday without any real ignition timing or final tweaking.
It has been decided that being a fwd car that less is more for the time being as 435LB/FT would just rip the tyres from the car. The engine is capable of SERIOUS numbers but putting those numbers on the road would be impossible when driving. We are going to go for the 450-470 bhp mark with 350-370 lb ft and make it as progressive as possible keeping boost around 24-26PSI and keeping EGT nice and low for reliability.

that sounds like an excuse to rip the rear end off and go 4wd??? you know it makes sense
Will there be anything on the road that will be able to compete with this? That is a serious question btw.. I actually dont think there will be..
There are plenty of BT Vag cars that will, but it will be spectacularly rapid to say the least.
the 4wd ones with power will be the ones to worry about.. and saxo's off the line 
467bhp/390lbft with more in hand......
its a reasonable starting point.
very impressed with the stroker/HTA3071 aside from the external gate pipework which had caused me serious grief in boost control terms.
zillions of dyno hours and my head hurts!

Can't wait to come and collect it, it is going to be epic. Nice to know its got more power in the bag if I ever get bored of circa 470bhp lol
Not that it really matters (with figures that high) but are those figures at the wheels or flywheel ??
Great progress James / Bill
Have you made Bills top spot James ? i know you had your beady eye on it

That is flywheel power, at it's current power of 467 it sits at the number 2 spot, but it's more than capable of making number 1 just need to get used to its power currently before making even nearer the 500 mark.
Sure you'll be cracking number 1 spot soon mate. I'll be interested to see the dyno sheets when Bill's done working his magic.
If your serious about the 4wd conversion give me a shout if you need to know anything bud.

Thank you, would like number 1 spot at some point before you get it if only for a brief period
Be realistic.... this is fwd.......
how much power do you think you can use?
If I feel the urge... and to be honest this is no more than a suggestion typing this as I am so very tired.... generally...
Of cranking up the boost to see what it can do, then reverting back to what it is currently.
hmmmm

If you get time it would be good to know what it "can" do within it's safe parameters.
467 BHP is going to be difficult to control as it is
I am very happy with the current power that it is making FWIW
Thank you for the time and effort that you have put into this car, you are a credit to the VAG tuning community
