nice build.. have you got into the 10s yet?? again well done..were is the pics

[R32EEEK]

go tubular!

[rabbitgtibbar]

Totally?

[Toffs]

go tubular!

?

[R32EEEK]

In reference to 94VW's build at the top. The PAG Parts Manifold is going to eventually run out of flow. A tubular manifold is just what he needs.

Totally!

maybe, or maybe not, I know that the comparisons that have been made from a cast part to a tubular part show improvement throughout the rev band, but they seemed like the gasket match and port match in the tubular piece made a nice difference in the tubular parts.

he has a cast port and gasket matched which depending on how well it was done might have the same cross sectional area as any other part and once you reach the max flow there, most likely the turbo exhaust inlet, there is not much more capability of flowing more.

the actual benefits of the tubular one is the exhaust pulse tuning going in to the turbo (most benefit in twin scroll designs), were the equal length of the pipes keep everything flowing smoothly instead of a collector type chamber seen in the cast parts.

maybe it can be the difference from an 11.08 to a 10.999 maybe more, I dont know. but then at that point there are other things that could make a big difference too, lets say a 4" downpipe, meth injection, wheels and tires, a custom tune, air density and temperature ....... another driver perhaps ...... (not questioning your abilities just pointing out things that could make a difference).

[94volkswagen]

Thanks

I still have the setup with the cast iron manifold, I am redoing the car for the next year and i hope to add water/meth and lighter wheels and a few more things.

I still cant find pics they are on my other laptop....i ll get them soon

keep it going..

[bluepillr32]

I have a VF Engineering turbo kit

[R32R1]

I have a VF Engineering turbo kit

I'm sorry

[R32EEEK]

?? VF's turbo kit is very nice as far as I'm concerned... grats!

[R32R1]

Eh, I was never a fan of VF even with the s/c. Seems like to me they're a bunch of businessmen who decided to throw a mechanics suit on, produce a half-ass product and put it out on the market, spiff it like crazy, only for eager consumers to be quickly disappointed since their car is getting walked on by chipped 1.8t's.

Save the discussion since this thread isnt about revealing how VF sucks, I'll make a thread sometime soon. kthxbye

[George@DUBWARS]

I'm still waiting on my build pics to make a thread... but in the meanwhile..

[abeR]

lookin good!

I know there are more lurkers here.

say hello.

[bluepillr32]

Despite all the doubts about VF I have nothing to complain about. I've had the kit a little over a year and no problems. Every time I drive my R I have a big smile on my face.

[DouginAZ]

Completely agree!

[Maddave10]

I haven't even had the chance to clean her yet...she's gonna be a work in progress but hopefully I'll have some fun in the process. Pics will come asap.

[CaptainQualude]

Love it. Dyno was 447hp, 420 tq. has the chargecooler so there is no overheating at all. Could not be more pleased with it. VF did a great job.

What exhaust are you running?

[kleinergti1]

ft360 kit with ft400 tune,intercooled,cvp manifold,coated rod bearings,arp fastners-- 15psi runs great over 10k miles on it so far. TOD 2010 was its first big journey and it performed great for being apart for 4 years.

Is that the CTS kit?

[huichox4]

Is that the CTS kit?

yes, its a kinetics/CTS stg 3 with coated downpipe, my setup has changed a bit now, different downpipe and bigger hot side with V-band and open dump.
