i stand corrected. i did not know they can hold that. they do make more noise at cold start due to the fact that they expand and contract more in hot and cold

 

That's really not a problem anymore with modern forged pistons. Automakers discovered that by increasing the amount of silicon in the forgings, they could reduce the expansion/contraction rate of the pistons. That way, they don't have to design in extra clearance between the piston and the cylinder wall, so you don't get the "piston slap" sound when the engine's cold.

Some of the high-end BMW engines and Mercedes AMG engines use forged pistons, and the customers buying those cars likely wouldn't tolerate their pistons rattling around until the car's warmed up.

 

Everyone always seems to forget this, but any plans to lower the compression ratio?

 

maybe even stroke her out

 

No thats NOT why the car makes that horrible noise when cold.. That is clearly a timing chain/tensioner issue (http://www.motoringfile.com/2008/07/...al-fix-coming/). The new fix is supposedly here and actually solves the problem 'The PuMA measure number is 10686850-12 and it was released on the 24/02/09,so it’s pretty new.'
And 375whp from a gt28rs Unlucky on your kit not fitting properly.. Mine lines up perfect but then again my kit was checked by CR Turbos

 

Everyone buy the atp kit if your interested, this guy has went the custom route but for some reason is blaming atp..

mtuning3 - EVERYONE is still waiting for those so called data logs you have from one of your many many recent previous posts ?

 

Direct injection car, no need.

Also, the ATP parts are notorious for needing a little tweaking in the VW world. They fit, just not so well. Its not the end of the world.

Check your facts coopman7, 5 bolt non vband adapter here. Don't know how you can defend a product with such poor welds.

Can you show the contents of your kit?

 

by the way it is an an atp turbo kit just differante wheel inside ,i wanted just to get some part but then i went with the kit so tell me you turbo kit fits perfectly because it doesnt!!!!! and your going to have to cut the hood,to coopman7 so before you open your mouth get it installed in or just shut up

 

Can you show a picture of the hood cut?

 

So its an ATP Kit with a GT28RS turbo with a slightly different compressor wheel???
Im interested in the design of your Air Inlet pipe - could you give more info?

Cheers

 

well clearly your too blind to read my posts so il say it again my turbo was checked and corrected by CR Turbo if needed so you might want to shut up..

Wheres your data, still none...

Anyways goodluck on the tune and dont be too shy to upload some videos...

 

So do you feel comfortable running 25lbs of boost through it? I would think not.

MINI even felt it was necessary to lower it with the factory JCW.

 

i was saying that s what the turbo i have can make in power im going to run no more than 20psi witch should be 300 at the wheels

 

Thats what water/meth is for. And I plan on running 25psi on a huge turbo on my other car with oem pistons with no issues. It's not as deadly as it seems.

mtuning3- I'll be VERY VERY surprised if you make 300whp on 20psi. I think it's going to take a good bit more than that. I say you make 275whp if you're lucky.

And please get a hood pic and some real datalogs instead of the spool claims.

 

Where did those nice shiny inlet tubes to the turbo?

 

i made them

 

He's asking where you bought the piping and couplers. Unless you're handy in forming aluminum I don't think you made them.

 

I love mtuning3's responses....they help everyone out so much!

 

Are you just going to show us pictures with no details? How about some videos or dyno sheets to show us if its worth it. For someone who can make all those parts you seem very quiet about the kit.

 

He photoshoped it in

Props for getting it installed and running.Look forward to the results with the proper tunage. I ordered this kit for my N14 I have sitting in my garage that will be going in my Cooper this summer. Keep us posted on your progress.

 

any vid of maybe some revs and a nice blow off
