But it’s only 503chp and 479lb-ft. Not much in today’s standards. Especially on a 4.0L TT V8. They’re obviously not pushing max power and leaving a lot on the table.
I was talking about 600+ whp…700-800 hp type cars if you’re looking at a V8. You’re not doing that with two small or sequential turbos and tuning out boost hit. Nor are you doing that with a great curve under 4000 RPM. You’re getting a whack of boost at higher than ideal RPMs. It basically produces a drag race or street race specialist that feels disappointing 99% of the time you drive it which is not while racing.
479 ft-lb at 1750 rpm is the answer. My point is that it doesn’t feel turbocharged. For a standard GT car of that size and weight it’s a lot of power. And it’s very fast in reality.
Ferrari is making a 670 horsepower TT V8 of similar displacement which, according to initial reports, has a similar non-laggy character more like a big NA.
My point was turbos can be perfectly drivable if you tune them to be that way and these examples prove that.
Mistro’ car dyno’d a couple of years ago with JHM bolt ons.
365 whp 311 wtq
300 wtq starts virtually immediately once you enter throttle. On his chart it shows at 2500 rpm but that’s because the dyno operator rolled into throttle there. If he dynod from idle up we would see 300 tq at 2000 on
Turboscam shows a dyno where they don’t even hit 300 wtq until 3500 rpm?
And peak torque is only 375 wtq, and it’s not till 4900 rpm???
The part that is funniest is that they even showed this to us at all! Second funniest is that he says this is 4 psi and it makes 100 whp over stock (400 whp vs 300 whp stock) , and that he’s very happy. When they fix their boost issues it will be even better. He said 25 whp per psi of boost.
Ok…I’m waiting till he realizes that he said 6 psi will be max and that using his 25 whp per psi of boost (that he is happy with) his logic means 450 whp max.
A far cry from the 650 whp advertised. Maybe epl is tuning it after all lololol
Also funny is that his ‘stock’ baseline is Apr tuned. That’s probably fair though since we have seen 4 Apr tuned cars make zero power over stock ;D
Thus is why the who ever the epic post forever guy who is selling this kit that guessed at the number of 650 whp and got caught is such a joke. Just sit tight this kit has been one big joke and lie the entire time will continue into that. Mark my words this untested on going sales thread will end up with the kit pushing more boost then they first guessed at and with no long term testing it will just be a joke…well it already is
Huh? Troll much? Who’s lies are you regurgitating now?
As for the “barely makes 300 wtorque”, I have their very basic S4 Stage 1 (in other words, the most basic and lowest setup they sell) and I’m already at 350wtq.
So either you’re really stupid or you’re trolling. I’m guessing both.
Where is his info from the other thread. I wish those links from VWvortex made it over here. Everything about this piece of shit should be put up and spread.
