Default New 225 TT

Whats up everyone.

I just bought a 2001 TT (225hp). I come from a 95 Camaro Z-28. Now I knew a lot of information about the Chevy 350, particularly in mods.

I am having some trouble finding web site that offer go faster parts.

If someone has a list I would appreciate it greatly.

Thanks in advance for the info

Default How to build the fastest TT short of changing the turbo. ;)

MTM chip via hoppenmotorsports.com
BMC panel air filter (hard to find online)
PES DV Performance engineered sytems in links ^, then Parts
Bosch 5 Bar fuel pressure regulator Hoppen
Get a custom fabricated single resonated 3" straight pipe exhaust from cat back rathher than the overpriced stuff. Any performance muffler shop will be able to build you one for < $300.
Eibach pro kit with bilstein Sports or HD's from shox.com
Neuspeed rear sway bar 19mm neuspeed.com
18x8.5 on 225/40/18"s in front and 255/35/18"s on 18 x10's w/Pirelli P 0 Rossos
RS2 calipers for fronts via somewhere because they are piston matched to master cylinder and actually have been tested to lower 60-0 from ?

Default What? no front mount single intercooler ;) Do you really have 255's on the rear?

I've been thinking about how to get "more torque" to the rear (for AutoX) and with the Haldex clutch, I may be able to cheat the system by putting a slightly larger tire in the rear than the fronts, hence activating the Haldex most of the time and giving more rear bias.

The 255/35's are slightly slightly slightly smaller than the 225/40's but I bet they look kick azz

Default contact PES about that idea...

they had a TT with wider rear wheels in the rear. It may not have been a quattro though.

Default Dude, you read my mind. The ET on my backs are 10 (deep dish) and the turn in has never been...

quicker. I run the 19mm bar on back to negate understeer. I don't know about the Haldex theory, but it sounds good. BTW, I have science based arguments for all the mods I selected.

I forgot. HPA runs a 500HP twin turbo VR6 with the stock TT intercollers, so I kept mine.

2 questions: why not Bilstein coilovers and why P Zeros?

APR is close to releasing their transverse GT25 kit. This will get you over 280hp.

Default Mine is a roadcar for roadracing. Too much is as bad as too little. I feel I have the perfect ....

balance of firmness and handling for a car that does tight mountain runs on rough roads. Those overstiff ricers that do the chassis judder over freeway expansion joints are too much, IMO. I went P Zero Rossos only because that is what is on the world's fastest GT cars from the factories. (Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo) I think the new SO's will be on the 996GT2 and Turbo for later in '02 along with the Rossos.

Default I've never seen their claims verified on independent dynos and prefer Ing Mayer for better ....

real world performance to claim ratio per Mach V's Dyno day.
