GTI with VF Engineering RSR kit Build Thread

[Big Yellow]

didn't you get upset about this in the other thread Big Yellow.

not upset, just thought it hypocritical

but lets not go there, as im sure a lot of you are keen to see what this car can do.

[Treza360]

Pretty awesome kit there. Also good to see someone doing this kit in Australia. Did you need a specific GIAC software package for the Australian delivered GTIs or is it the same as the US and/or European models?
Also any idea of the power figures you should be able to/hope to get?
Cheers,
Trent

lol, product pushing are we boys? didn't you get upset about this in the other thread Big Yellow.

i looking forward to seeing the numbers from this thing, will be nuts, best of luck with it all.

i'll put money on seb not having any issues with any figures it produces, no matter where you put the bloody IT probe.

How is it product pushing when there's more than just the chip involved? If anything, I'd say it's pushing the products from VF Engineering? GIAC is just one part of this kit, it's not like chip magically creates power out of thin air.

GIAC wasn't even mentioned until someone asked what the tune is?

Instead of giving people crap about the chip they are using, how about some positive comments regarding the steps people are taking to create more power and the money they are spending to do so? Rods, pistons, cams don't come cheap.

Edit: Oh and good job going ahead with the RSR kit, I'm quite interested in the RSS kit, but unfortunately don't have the funds atm to do it.

listen closely , take a deep breath, have a read again.....and then . Big Yellow and TRGTI did not take it as a 'dig'.....why? because it wasn't!! it was a little joke from another thread and if you'd bothered to read properly and saw the other thread you'd understand.....

i am genuinely interested in this build, in case you didn't read on.

back on topic, have you guys set yourself a goal powerwise or had any sort of indication what numbers you'll be getting... or just taking it as it comes.

[gtimk5]

How about we all keep on topic and forget the "product pushing" comments.
This will be an interesting civillised thread if we act like adults.

It will be interesting to see how this goes. Good luck fellas and keep it coming!!!

Good luck Hong, you have too much money to waste! haha.

Are you guys using the giac flashloader, or is a new tune a case of heading back to your dealer?

The standard tunes are usally done with the flashloader, but in Hong's case they are doing lots of data logs which they will send back to GIAC to create a custom tune. He is hoping to run 25 psi with this setup. I believe the current setup is the standard RSS tune.

again what size turbo?

what power figure is hong hoping for

[Greg Roles]

Wow, now that's serious. I love the dual A2A intercooler idea too by the way. Wouldn't the extra intake volume drop response a little, or is there so much boost this isn't worth worrying about?? Just curious....

[Big Yellow]

again what size turbo?

what power figure is hong hoping for

its a GT28.

[tinto]

You must be pushing 400hp...
given the RS/S kit is listed as 385hp @ 20psi

Glad you have the LSD then!

[Big Yellow]

Hong's trying to get it up to 25psi!! hehe crazy
