My MK1 3.2 TT Turbo

[AMGpower]

Epic thread, amazing car, although i can't help thinking, wouldn't an R8 grille suit it better as it's lower/wider?

[V6RUL]

Cheers, ive spent enough on bumpers and grilles.
I dont wat the TT to become too gangsta and its a case of when is enough enough.
The build is coming towards the end now, harware wise, with just some ceramic coating to be done and a DSG aftermarket oil cooler from APR to be added. There is however some additional DSG ECU revisions required to allow me to run 1.8 bar as opposed to currently running 1.2 bar.

What are the plans for the car when you think the build is finished?

[V6RUL]

Hi, she is my daily at the mo.
I also use her as a tourer and she will be hitting the strip and some selective track days.
Just an all rounder really.

Last week Zircotec managed to find a slot to coat my hot parts..


Got the new seats in the house to give them a little wipe down..









Will try and get them in the TT later today or tomoz, but im a little busy getting ready for work.

[V6RUL]

Cars up and running with the Zircotec coated hot parts back on the car and seats in..




Seats are definately huggier and Julie likes the colour.

Turbos > food.

Keep it up!

Took the TT to ADI over the weekend to join up with other TT peeps and to enjoy a good day.
I pre-booked to go on track but wasn't sure about going out so early but Julie made the effort to get up early.
Julie has never PAXed me on track and it was only my second visit myself.
The track looked damp and greasy, which some cars found out to their detrement.
Running 16 psi and the competition haldex the TT felt planted and grip was helped with the PS3s all round, there was no wheelspin or sliding which others complained of, after the session.
This was not a race, but a chance to push ones car to close to its max limits for the conditions..







I managed to go out for a second session in the afternnon, but as it was raining, i felt the track was becoming unpredictible and came off early.

Couldn't make ADI this year, had I been there I'd have popped over to say hello!

[V6RUL]

Pity..would be nice to meet faces behind the names.

Over the last week my throttle map has been pulled back as it was too sensitive and i also setup my EBC correctly.
Currently running 21 psi with upto 26 available..

Steve

[V6RUL]

Had a little play tuning my EBC today..
19psi 5500rpm..

21 psi @ 5500..

24psi @ 5500 rpm..


I just need to get the bottle to document the BHP side of things now..unless it goes on the rollers first.
