    One result of having too small a exhaust side is seeing hi boost figures but not huge power.

    That said, you've easily got the meanist k04 going around!!! Considered selling them?

    I can't wait to see what the cam does!
    The tiny turbine is a big problem, however it is possible to make more juice with it...

    I think with this cam setup I will drop the temperature in the combustion chamber and flow a cleaner air/fuel mixture...

I think the engine is going to be more efficient, because we have to think the stock camshafts, the exhaust pipe, turbo, exhaust manifold, intercooler, etc… were designed to work in an engine developing 150hp… I’m pushing the engine to develop 275cv, but with the boost I’m using I should have more power. My intention is make a balanced power flow.

    This is my first experience with Koni’s shocks. I bought a pair of Polo's used shocks and dismantled them.

    They are a little shorter them the stock, they help the car when I'm dragging, but they appear to be softer them the stock shocks... The front rubbing is more frequently now. Bump e re-bump setups are in the hardest mode.

    Lost in each wheel 1,5mm in convergence. Total of 3mm.
    It looks a little divergence now.

    The car is cornering better... next step swaybar.

    The worst part is to put the car in movement if you stop on a hill.

    The diff is helping in the turn exits, but I don't have a full opinion yet. This weekend I will try to go to the track and see if it is really working.
