My MK1 3.2 TT Turbo
Discussion
Torque figure has moved on a little as I've upped the boost to 24.5 psi and got 988 nm or 734lb/ft torque.
She has just gone in for a new mechatronic unit before the boost is raised to 26 psi.
Pick her up on Tuesday.
Only the modified GTRs will be in the same league power wise, but them buggers are fast standard but big bucks to keep healthy.

Cheers.
HPA now call it Performance Controller but it is the orange version.
No sloshing the power around, just fixed drive which is easier on the transmission and its running ok and there are no bells and whistles with the Haldex and rear diff, it just works and is sure footed.

I have the blue upgrade atm and would consider the orange in the future. Are you planning any trackdays with it?HPA now call it Performance Controller but it is the orange version.

Only reason I ask, and I appreciate this is massively cheeky LOL, is that a car has come up for sale in Stockport, A manual black TT 3.2 v6 and I'm over 200miles away, I'm interested, just wanted someone near and TT wisened to have a look.....I really ought to be posting this on the TTOC, of which I am a member lol.Steve
Did some playing with my HKS EVC-S EBC and gone through both ways of setting it up.
I've personally gone for the WG Closed option.
I want a wastegate shut, duty operation, which is the most aggressive of setups.
This is how I achieved it with my EBC and integral boost display..
1) Set WARNING to your desired boost pressure plus 1 psi approx (27psi)
2) Set DROP to 100%
2) Set OVERBOOST to your desired boost pressure (26 psi)
3) Set RESPONSE to 10%
4) Set OFFSET to 20%
5) If there “is” boost fall-off once the OVERBOOST value has been attained, then increase the RESPONSE by 5% and test again. Keep altering the RESPONSE in 1% to 5% increments until you can maintain target boost.
If RESPONSE reaches 75% and there is no further improvement take the RESPONSE value back to 2% below the last seen improvement in RESPONSE and now alter OFFSET by 1% to 5% at a time until boost is maintained, but not adding more % than is nessesary. At the maximum maintained boost value take OFFSET back 2%.
Note 1: When altering either RESPONSE or OFFSET, if there is no change whilst increasing in % increments, then drop the value back in 1% increments until the boost drops a little whilst at full boost. It may not be possible to achieve a maintained boost level due to certain characteristics of the setup ie large wastegate, small turbo, boost leaks.
Note 2. When boosting with a wastegate closed setup, it is possible that a small spike is achieved. The WARNING value needs to be above this spike value to stop the wastegate from opening fully and wasting valuable boost, however the WARNING value does need to be close to the target boost as this is the last line of protection.
During normal running a calculation is done within the EBC that monitors the boost and OVERBOOST value and consequently opens the wastegate based upon a DROP and OFFSET calculation, to try and keep the boost at or below the OVERBOOST value when required.
Wastegate open setup..
1) Set WARNING to your desired boost pressure plus 1 psi approx (27psi)
2) Set DROP to 100%
2) Set OVERBOOST to start your wastegate opening from (18 psi)
3) Set RESPONSE to 10%
4) Set OFFSET to 20%
5) Adjust the OFFSET in 1% to 5% increments until you can maintain target boost.
If OFFSET reaches 50% and there is no further improvement take the OFFSET value back to 2% below the last seen improvement in OFFSET and now alter RESPONSE by 1% to 5% at a time until boost is maintained.
Note 1: When altering either RESPONSE or OFFSET, if there is no change whilst increasing in % increments, then drop the value back in 1% increments until the boost drops a little whilst at full boost. It may not be possible to achieve a maintained boost level due to certain characteristics of the setup ie large wastegate, small turbo, boost leaks.
Note 2. Always read the manual.
General Note. This setup values in PSI, suits my application and maybe not yours.
My boost controller is mounted in the alarm sensor area..

Been collecting the parts up for the intake re-arrangement..
200dia x 100mm intake for a shallower fit filter..
90mm intake x 410mm wide double path CC..
Various hoses..
Inlet manifold entrance neck to be chopped off and DIY fabbed side exit welded in place..
This setup will give me 90mm inlet/outlet charge cooling as opposed to 80mm and a straighter charge cooler discharge side to TB.
Cooling efficiency will be increased due to the double pass as opposed to single.
Hopefully the Humel will be going in this time round once the rocker cover is modified, this should minimise crankcase pressure..
Waiting for a slot to get her booked in now.

Popped into the indie to see my baby on the surgeons table..
Throttle body came off in a nice condition..
Rocker cover off to be modded for better crankcase breathing.
Inlet manifold has had it's neck cut off and is offered up for a new neck mockup to accept the TB..
How it was originally not powder coated black..
New 1200bhp rated Charge Cooler offered up for a look see..
Next update, next week.
