Back on the board
Hi I havent posted for a while and here it is I made 448.9 hp at the wheels at 20psi with a ported other wise stock 20v head. I got cams and now Im waiting for velve springs to come in and I have to put the head back together and go to dyno to see how much power I will gain. Also I put a bigger turbo with a new intake manifold desighn.
This year I went to the track only once and I ran with a 2.2 60 foot 13.3 @ 102mph at 10psi I had problems with the boost controler and that is the only boost it would give me at the track.
I will post some pictures and a video of my sad 13.3 run sometimes this week.

Seems he had a boost issue. Loosing half the boost pressure can't be good for making power. Not to mention that the type44 quattro is not a light car.

Re: Back on the board
I believe I saw a video of your car having fun in a dry parking lot a few months ago. Unless there's another red 20vt powered 5ktq running a modified bumper to clear a large intercooler... ;-)

You might want to reread the post
He claims 448 hp at the wheels on the dyno with 20psi of boost, while at the track he only ran 10psi of boost since that was before his dyno testing. So his hp at the track was well down in the 300 rpms and lets not forget the 5 cylinder cars run 7:1 compression which means his 10psi does not do **** for his motor to make power. I would say he was well down 100 hp at the track from his dyno #'s.

Re: You might want to reread the post
10psi is less than the factory boost of the 3B and the AAN, so he was probably down a lot more than 100hp. Factory CR of both US/CAN bound 2.2L 20vt's was 9.3:1, not sure what pistons he is running, but the one photo they appear to be factory. He also probably didn't use the bottle for that 13.3 quater run, like he did in the videos on Nordic Audi (look for the two "5000?" videos).

I thought the
5cylinder turbos came with lower compression then that? But it also says he is running a custom turbo which means he can run less boost then stock and still make more hp then stock. I dont think he would lose more then 100 hp just by dropping 10psi.

There are a couple videos of Radim's car on Nordic Audi, look for the "5000?" videos. Pretty sure he was running full boost AND the bottle in his trunk. His short-block looks factory from the pictures, too.
