Cams and turbo options for S3 TFSi?
Discussion
I'm running one of these engines in my Lotus Exige (fitted before my ownership). Initially it was running as stock but due to what I'm assuming was poor mapping, one of the pistons let go and so the engine was rebuilt.
Today I was looking through some of the paperwork that came with the car and spotted the rebuild options, quote and spec. Of the 3 possible routes proposed to the previous owner, the third route was the one chosen which consisted of (and I quote as I'm not that up on Audi/VAG tuning):
High Comp 11.0:1 WTCC custom forged pistons
Custom WTCC i-Beam conrods and ARP bolts
Race spec big end bearing set
Hybrid K04 turbo
RS4 high volume injectors
etc etc
The note from the tuner (no longer in business) stated that this setup is that of the BTCC/WTCC cars and with the appropriate cams/turbo would break 500hp/600nm without much stress.
Now I'm not going to go out and buy these things tomorrow as its current state of tune (400hp/450NM at 1.7bar of boost in a car weighing 960kg) isn't exactly lacking but I thought it worth asking as to what parts would be required as the quote simply states 'WTCC cams' and 'WTCC turbo'.
Anyone got any ideas?
