What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

[DAM GTi]

i got the chunky smic, gutted the wheel arch linings-temps are good..plenty for the time being..spose if I was rockin a decent snail..id be doing something in that area-W2A..hate front mount look at me..you guys must not be living in a cop state..dogs everywhere down my way..

im im currently stocking up for a me7.5 conversion-coils/knock sensors/map/fit out X fml and tune only things left..till then research my nut off and annoy the fuk out of you lot.
start up in december I would say..take the thing off the road and do suspension 02j shifter conversion exhaust and my bank balance while down that road..

The twin pass style intercooler setup is one of the most steathiest mods available. The police wouldn't know what time of day it is.

This is not my car but apparently I can achieve this with the intercooler I bought.

Btw I would love to see air intake temps monitored on that setup and logged with vagcom. I hear a lot of people saying temps are good but with not much to back it up. But a few of you now have that setup and I was tempted for ages, but with no data available I passed on it.

nothing beats a fmic for cooling but it would be very interesting to see how close those smic can get. For reference this is a log I did the other day, ambient temps were high 20s. Very impressed with the cts core.

All I can remember is a thread from vortex from a well known guy who tracked his car who reported higher temps than the stock side mount with the generic eBay taco taco cooler. Even he didn't have logs to prove, but his posts seemed legit. That was years ago and no one has ever posted basic vagcom logs to prove otherwise.

For reference this is a log I did the other day, ambient temps were high 20s.

Look at Mr. Fancypants me7 able to log requested vs actual boost pressure haha

So just for context, was that was a 2nd or 3rd gear pull? And until mid 4000rpm, so a few 1000 left in the rev range. Would be interesting to see repetitive 6000k wot pulls in 3rd gear. I heard the local police don't mind if you use the airport runway after hours for testing. [emoji12]

But geez that is a serious amount of boost from such a big turbo.

I'll be logging my fmic for the 30min session at QR in December. So will have some definitive real world results soon.

[Sirocco20348]

Actually he did post results on the taco taco and I reposted them on this thread..

The temps were just ridiculously bad. 80deg at 4000rpm...

That's a full 3rd gear pull, 2000rpms all the way to 6750rpms (current redline), done in Mexico of course . Would be alot easier if I could find a back entry to the Coolangatta airport, be fun to race a jumbo

But yeah logging is awsome with me7.5, so much fun to play around with the graphs in ecuplot.
This is the n75 duty cycle overlayed, as you can see there is still room for earlier spool and more boost

Sorry I was reading the graph wrong!! wow yeh that intercooler is very efficient, I'm hoping for similar results.

Me7.5 or tell em ya dreamin!

nice spikes going there,you breaking traction in 3rd without trying

nankang semi slick it-top bit of rubber that!

scirocco-cheers for more resear on the twinny coolers
mooore...waits for gav to say no...haha

What have done for cars this month-knocked down a wall that will be concreted to to house 3 cars easily enclosed varandah with I beam centralised post to support gantry roller attached- linked up with a 800kg electric hoist-thinking of boxing a mini pit while at it or may just get a airbag jack or air compressor hoist-man cave pretty well much-fridge already in place and bluetooth stereo-should be sweet and done within the month heres hoping-fkn chrissy be the only hold up..currently use my mates mechanic shop-but want my rides close by if in bits and mobile autotradys are a norm nowadays if you cock up!

Started and drove it around the block, adjusted actuator but still not the greatest. But its getting there!

[Swainey32]

got a new engine installed in the 32, NA build good for 200awkw, cant wait for the next track day

Had some fun with the golf today, doing logs and loading tunes

This intercooler install took away a part of my soul... It's almost complete except for the gigantic boost leak I have during WOT.

The bumper grinding was Intenso. If I painted the intercooler and associated pipe, it would be lv 99 stealth. But it's hardly noticible anyway.
