Default Well there are no kits out there on the audi's yet and they have not done a chip only setup

for a T3/T4 yet. They use a Air fuel controller and a boost controller, then add a 5th injector.

Default The ATP will use chip tuning...

they do their own software and have the kits on numerous VW's. They have a dyno currently and they may be getting a 4-wheel dyno also. The kit make full boost mid 4's.

The kit is plenty drivable with a turbo rush u can really feel. The VW ran a 13.1 at 110 on stock clutch with slicks on and they were not allowed to do a burnout. The APR stage 3 GTI was also in the lane next to it ;-)

Default

and it was running a GIAC chip. Lets not forget that one and the fact that they use a 5th injector.

Default I've sat in the T3/T4 car... the car's low end isn't bad, I don't think it's much worse than a

chipped K03, but because of the humongous surge of power that you get once you hit 5k, low end doesn't seem like it's there. The T3/T4 setup has an ungodly pull that just sucks you back into your seat with a grin the size of Texas.

But again, that's comparing my little tiptronic K03 to the fastest A4 in North America that I know of.

Default Full boost at 5k? That doesn't sound very fun on the street...

with a redline at 7k....no way to really stay in that powerband!

Cheers

Exactly what I was thinking. That would be crap on a 1.8t.

Default It does still make some boost down low...its a little more lag then K04...

but still feels almost the same as K04 I got now with just a ****load more bite.

If I ever get computer skillz or anyone else I'll also try and get some scanned dyno's of T3/T4 and it'll be cool to overlap and show the dyno's of all the kits so everyone can see the true differences in spool time, power and max power. The T3/T4 is big but has proved itself as a winning turbo. The ball bearing design also helps .

The T3/T4 is big but there is still much bigger.
