It's there for covfefe

I knew it!

Not the update I’m sure you guys would want.

installed B8 struts/shocks, Eibach Pro-kit springs, BFI LCAs last week, and BFI engine and transmission mounts tonight.

looking into 17” wheels although I think 18s might look better. Not sure if white on white would be good like my JDM days or what.

Some parts came in. GTD rear valence. Looking to do another single-sided dual tip exhaust like my other MK7s. Need to get a midpipe that works with the IE downpipe and will probably mate it to a S4/S5 muffler.

Not understanding how a 925cc kit is flowing less than that. But, it’s PR so hopefully it’ll rock.

I’m still looking for a decent intercooler. Probably look into Magic again.

I guess I’ll post some updates.

Installed GPOP is20 with is38 compressor wheel during Hurricane Ian. Installed ARM fmic a week later. Did a GTI HPFP and today a reflect tuning ecu and dsg tune. I’m running stock downpipe and did the normal stock airbox mods. There’s a bit more left on the table for tuning and driving. Trying to hit 12.00 with stock downpipe. Currently on 205/55/16 Ironman AS tires.

Can you write up a review on those Ironman AS tires?

That's a solid time! Given those tyres I'm sure you're probably spinning a bit off the line? Looks like there's a least a couple tenths on the table in that 60ft.

 

[crxgator]

A little bit plus I’m chirping second.

 

[MonkeyMD]

Was it a custom tune or is it just the IS20 tune.

Why not go Flex Tune

 

[crxgator]

It’s a lower boost one based on the is20 for now. Flex is enabled I just have to install the sensor this weekend. I’ll be logging and he will make adjustments.

 

[crxgator]

Flex is a go now.

Second revision on E32

 

[19birel]

That's a promising time! Could you tell me more about this hybrid turbo from GPOP? What mainstream upgrade would this be comparable to? There doesn't seem to be much info on their site about their offerings

 

[crxgator]

There really isn’t any mainstream offering. It’s started life as an is20 turbo that they machined the compressor housing to fit an is38 wheel. They ported and polished both housings and balanced the wheel. I also had them coat the housings. Total cost was around $800 plus the turbo.

So, forgive my ignorance here, what's the benefit of this vs an IS38, quicker spool? That's not a bad cost at all

That’s the hope: is20 spool witb is38 top end. Not sure if that’s the reality or the worst of both (is38 spool / is20 top end)
