turbo damage!

B5 S4/ RS4
#1

this is what happens when you chase the jhm stock turbo record.
93 + meth @ 23-24 psi for 6k miles.

lol

how’d you do?

#3

12.38 @114 i think it was… my buddy who ran it has the time slip.

this was on 93+meth on the way back for the second track day the turbos blew, lol.

#4

that’s incredible…a truly sensational time.

That’s basically what a B7 Rs4 with tune and full exhaust would do…and considering the RS4 came with 420hp stock, and was introduced 7 years later, it’s incredible to think that a tune and exhaust B5 could do that. Of course it kills the turbos, but still crazy.

#5

good way to exit K03s if you have something meaner lined up

#6

Yes it was my buddy saves car. He is doing a solid ft build now.

#7

will he be you tuned?

what do you think about FT vs. K04? Even though FTs are a few bucks cheaper, if it was your choice, what would you do? i.e. pretending that they’re the same cost?

For that matter, what turbo would be your choice if you wanted these three setups

  1. stock motor stage III setup but not going crazy…just want something strong, relatively affordable, fast, fun, reliable, daily driven car etc. likely running pump gas 93-94

  2. stock motor stage III trying to coax the most out of the thing…want to race the car and put a hurt on some people, but not going built motor. Would this necessitate a different turbo than #1? Or would you just use the same turbo but get more into the modlist and a stronger tune?

  3. built motor, breaking records

?

Dave is a tuner himself, ill probably get him on a good base file and he will dial it in as he gets more comfortable with Me7.
Probably be a stock motor record breaker knowing Dave.
E85 on ko4s or fts can overpower a stock motor :wink:

#9

I would had love to run k03 at 20+ lbs… but since I tuned for they first time… they started to wine…

I fully " build" k03 may do 115-6mph Im pretty sure.

#10

yes, running them out to that kind of boost requires water meth injection to keep the iat’s in check.
makes for alot of tq down low :slight_smile:

#11

so you’d recommend k04s for everything? no rs6? no tial? no FT?

#12

who are you asking?
I don’t think that… but it also depends on what you are looking for.

#13

you

I presented 3 scenarios above.

#14

assuming they cost the same
for #1 i say k04 cause it has over 10 years of proven performance
for #2 and #3 i say FT cause i’ve seen what these things can do.

#15

a fun watch.

I personally think the FTs are a joke and it would be better off getting a RS6 turbo at that point

#16

That video is sweet.
Why do you say ft’s are a joke? not picking a fight, just curious.

#17

yeah, I don’t think they’re a joke. they’re just a cheaper K04 like turbo. They seem to be working well.

#18

hahaha, I’d never seen that video, but that’s pretty great!
