Hi guys, Been browsing for a while and picking up a lot of useful ideas and tips. Finally worked out how to register ( wouldn't accept hotmail account) I own a 05 MK 11 BA T Ute. and up to recentlly have been pretty satisfied with the performance - CAPA + Custom tune + typhoon lower intake . Bug bit and thought I would go for a bit more power and went to Castle Hill Exhausts to get a s/s/hi flow catco cat then off to C&V who fitted siemens injectors and stronger valve springs then re-tuned. Unfortunately they could only get it up to 255 rwkw , Con thought that turbo gasket was broken which could cause it to be underpowered so I went home , removed heat shields let motor cool right down, restart motor and sprayed soapy water around flanged joint and sure enough- leaking. will get it sorted monday then give C&V a call to book her in for another attempt at squeezing a bit more power out. Realistically I thought that with these mods that I might be getting around 270 to 280 rwkw. Probably dont want to much more as it is only 4 speed auto. Anyway good to be finally on board.

Cheers.

Welcome Tig,

So true..Welcome

Welcome TIG.

We've got similar mods (well actually most start with the same) and I've ended up with 278 RKw's.

Like you I'm mindful of the 4 spd auto but didn't realise it was going to be an issue until after I had mods done.

Am a bit suss on it now but take it easy most of the time until I can get some more cash together and strengthen the auto before some more mods. It's a disease I'm tellin' ya !!!

Anyway

Coops

Welcome

Fix up all those leaks and it will pull alot more power... exhaust manifold/turbo leaks are very common, get used to tightening all the bolts up lol

Dont forget other things like brakes and suspension on the car as these will also add to the fun factor.

and wellcome.

I.B.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, looking forward to discussing some interesting topics.
