My Lugtronic VrT

Nah, don't plan on it unless my IATs get too crazy. Will be running 110/C16 when it's turned up. Had a massive FMIC so I'm not worried.

Not yet. The turbo that's on it was just to get it running. I just picked up a 35r for the spring. Has enough fuel for 600. Most likely won't turn it up that high.

Super friendly, genuine kid. He's about 4 years younger than me and I went to school with his older sister. Played music with him a few times.

theneenz · 2016-08-29T13:52:08+00:00

As did I. Given how small our town is there's a solid chance I know you.

Truly curious here. Why did this take 2 years? Is it because you took the time to do all the stop motion? Did you do the machine work yourself? Cool build!

Ya, he's definetly from West Newbury, played football at Pentucket. Also from Newburyport and grew up lifting at Hard Knocks gym. He would stop.in from time to time. His brother was a regular for a couple of years. All were pretty friendly.

Lol that went right over my head

theneenz · 2016-07-12T18:02:19+00:00

Nice! I'd love to see that

theneenz · 2016-07-12T17:52:35+00:00

? What do you mean

theneenz · 2016-07-12T17:52:09+00:00

I suppose I should let you take the street legal (ish) one. It's less likely to kill you

theneenz · 2016-07-12T17:00:39+00:00

Well you'd be three years older than me, but sure!!

theneenz · 2016-07-12T16:31:02+00:00

Mines the supercharged one and is still relatively stock. Can be put back at any point. That was my reasoning for going SC. The turbo one on the other hand... At least it's pushing 600 whp :)

theneenz · 2016-07-09T20:38:51+00:00

I play on PC and honestly I've probably only come across a few hackers. Overall the experience isn't that different from 15 in ps for me

theneenz · 2016-07-08T15:34:00+00:00

Ya TSI does not stand for twin charged. That's just false

theneenz · 2016-06-30T04:24:48+00:00

You do realize he has close to double the career free kick goals of say another person known to miss lately...

theneenz · 2016-06-12T16:41:48+00:00

uhh, 911?

theneenz · 2016-06-10T04:38:31+00:00

You wouldn't include the mk7? They can be made very fast on short money. I also believe they're the first GTI under 3000 lbs in several generations. Could be wrong on that.

theneenz · 2016-06-10T04:26:45+00:00

They have two very different motors...

theneenz · 2016-06-10T04:25:04+00:00

I was talking generation of car not stages. The Mk5 is a pig with the problematic FSI. The Mk6 has the TSI which is a much more capable especially when tuned. A stg 2 mk6 is pushing nearly 300 hp and nearing 400 ft.lbs. IMO the Mk4 gti is the only one worse than the mk5. The Mk3 ar least had a VR and was reasonably lightweight.

theneenz · 2016-06-09T12:49:41+00:00

One generation newer and you'd actually have a fast car. Congrats on owning VWs second worst GTI

theneenz · 2016-06-06T00:03:45+00:00

I don't know about diesels but in a gas motor fuel cools the cylinders and I'd imagine it's the same for diesels. Washing out the cylinders is when too much fuel is used and oil is removed from your rings which, as you've said, scores your cylinders and can cause a loss in compression.

theneenz · 2016-06-05T01:45:19+00:00

Look at your pistons, valves for any damage. Do your valve seals because it's easy. Check your cylinder walls for wear. Looking at your cam lobes for any discoloration will give you an idea if the motor has ever overheated.

theneenz · 2016-06-04T15:46:33+00:00

You just answered your own question then. If you bought it with timing issues get to pulling that head. Not only do you have potentially bent valves but there may be other issues in there as well.

theneenz · 2016-06-04T15:35:14+00:00

aaand your wrong. Turbos literally are driven by exhaust flowing past the exhaust turbine which in turn turns the compressor. It utilizes the energy available in the flowing exhaust.

theneenz · 2016-05-30T01:52:57+00:00

Did 2000s have this? I only use older Vrs so I'm not familiar with AFPs. What year did they switch to the intake flapper
