Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Anyway a small update as another package arrived:

Even though we went direct, they told Performance Brands to give me the one they had but they didn't have one or something. Anyway, it'll be the Monday after it comes. To think sorting out the turbo was my biggest concern..

      Any issues with the install or was it pretty smooth sailing ? Bit of a pain with IC arriving late, have you done any tuning or are you waiting for the IC?

        We're both waiting on Wagner intercoolers... Tristan thought he was going to short-cut the process by getting it from overseas but it's now coming through the Australian agent. So he's in the same boat as me waiting for the agents stock to arrive.

        My turbo is here now but I still have a few more parts to collect so he still may beat me to it.

            It’s sitting in a box at the workshop. So not easily is the answer.

              damn lol...

              Was hoping to work out "roughly" what compressor wheel it could be similar to

              • Any update Tristan?

                Hopefully they were able to source the Wagner Intercooler and get it installed.

                        That is very impressive! Are you thinking about the hybrid route or looking for an RS3FL?

                        • Great numbers but I'm still a little concerned how late these come on. Seen this with a few tuners that they really only on full boost at 4,000rpm.

                          • based on that torque curve, the boost is probably "all in" i.e. at the boost threshold by 3.5k~3.7k

                            Then again, is that real RPM or derived RPM on that dyno

                            • I've seen the same sorts of curves from other tuners using the same/similar turbo.

                              Who knows if it's "corrected" RPM based on roller RPMs.

                              • That torque curve seems to drop off quickly after 4500 rpm....maybe the person should have gone a hybrid IS38 rather than hybrid IS20....
