Little Red Devil

[VWindahouse]

At the moment I want to iron out my curve. There's something awry with my boost I'm thinking, it tends to come on quite hard and quite late (it could be the extra lag from installing the Forge cooler, but I'm not 100% sure). If it weren't for this greasy weather down here at the moment, and my lack of time available, I'd fiddle with my DV but I don't think that's going to solve it.

Because I've done the DP, FMIC, DV, light intake mods (PD160+cone in a box) I'm thinking the next step will be TIP and throttle body piping. Bigger turbo is the ideal mod but I don't want to go to the trouble without the appropriate tune.

Sounds like an excellent plan

This is probably a question more directed towards Gav, but will this 'bonkers 2.0' tune be available to others should we decide to follow the same route?

Anthony's tune is for the Ball Bearing turbo, I request a tune based on the injectors, MAF and other hardware. Which is loaded, then logged, appropriate revisions are written and logged until it's all spot on.

This tune wouldn't work on a K03s.

If you get yourself a K04/Frankenturbo or a billet unit like this, we can do you software to suit it.

TBH the hardest part of the whole thing really, has been the TIP. Which isn't 100% and will be improved upon in due course.

Hunt me down for a chat if you like.

I'm sure your day must have more hours in it than mine. That sounds like a days work.

Less time on the on the racing games? and being up at 5am. Took me about 2 hours really I guess, bit of messing with the injectors was a hold up. The rest was just putting things together which I knew would fit already.

Ok went for a spin with just the base file loaded and well it's totally brilliant, thanks Gav

Still comes on hard around 2000rpm like before but not quite as much as torque kick. Power delivery is so smooth now but mid and top range are crazy where the standard K03s dies in the ass, the hybrid just climbs in anger and doesn't run out of puff. I didn't even feel confident revving it over 5K on the street because it's pretty wild.

Turbo whistle is awesome when it comes on, so very loud The entire package seems to be all working so well together and Gav's done a brilliant job with everything!

More logging to come so the tune can be finalised then it's off to the dyno.

Glad you rate it! Phew

It is really nice to drive, on an Autobahn it would need 6 gears, the Polo box is so short.

We only had about 50km on when I dropped it back and it seemed to be improving on each drive. So I expect it to pick up a bit more yet.

Spot on mate, it was different again from when we went round the block to when I took it out for a more lengthy run. I remember it did this with the phase 2 tune also. Can't wait to finish work

[vwthunder]

Think your going to need a LSD asap

[Redliner]

Give us a Youtube video! Dying to see how it goes.

2nd gear pull not a clean run but you get the picture

[Redliner]

Looks like the turbo kicks in nice and low in the rev range. Great acceleration. It will be a beast with a bit more tweaking from your tune.

[VWindahouse]

Yeah 2nd is good when you can get it to hook up all the way cleanly, but 3rd is scary lol!

[Redliner]

What tyres are you using. I need to change mine when I get it back. I'll probably get the Federal 595's. I'd love to get 225's under the front guards.

[VWindahouse]

Just on the Federal EVO's at the moment but going with some 595's next also. 225's are very tempting now

Re: Little Red Devil

but im 245

No need to rub it in.
245's are huge.

[vwthunder]

225's are not a common size, heaps easier to find 235's in most brands, 595 Rsr's Toyo r1r's etc
