I still think you’ll go low 4’s until you either run E85 or put a hybrid turbo on for more boost/power. You’ll need an extra ~10kwaw to drop 0.1s but as you get closer to 4’s this may even be a bit more like 15kwaw.

Plus 4K launch RPM should help too...

Yeap, focusing on a good TCU tune now, then I will vbox again. Flex fuel is on the cards, if APR releases something also. I’m wrapped with the IS38 performance, going from 6.5s to 4.3s is a phenomenal performance increase. I’m waiting for you to go hybrid is38 to see whether anyone can break into the 3s.

If you want to go next level to IS38 then there the DVB2 IS38 which will see well over 300kw at the engine. Price will be north of 3k supply tho but bolt straight in... Hmmmmmmmmm

I think it would be awesome for someone to do an IS38 hybrid so we can compare the performance against the IS38.....Eventually someone will be brave enough to go into uncharted waters with a BT - either EFR7163, BOSS500 or TTE610.... that would really be nuts...

Ps great work on the kids seats and toys, that is definitely sleeper cred. However I think with the custom plates, dp exhaust rumble and black wheels, you might be signalling that there might be something lurking under the bonnet...

Yes I’m looking for best bang for buck and with the end point in mind I think that hybrid or snail turbo is the way to go.

I’m still a little way from tuning as I’m going to run the car in until first service before doing any performance mods.

So someone may beat me to it....

That’s what I told myself, to wait until the first service.....After coming off a K04 Tig, the 162 didn’t have much mojo....so got it tuned at 1500km with stage 1 and then now at 9500km (9 months ownership) I have the IS38. I am weak for mods.........hope you can last the 12 months.

Before 15,000km you should do an Audi R8 V10+ engine swap...

I’ve found one....you said you were an engineer didn’t you? Let’s get this bad boy in the Tig......

That's a great buy for such low KM. We can rebuild it and strap a pair of Garrett GT42s to the side to make some real power...

Can you get a 3d scan done of your engine bay for me and I will get started on the clearances required, wiring loom and chassis modifications to begin with.

Will do. I’m not sure if APR does twin turbo V10 tunes, I may need to go to a custom tuner this time. I’ll make sure the air filter pods mount directly on the turbo and poke out each of the headlights.

I may need a new gear box, although I’ve heard the MQB DQ500 can be tuned to stage 4 to handle upto 1000NM. The biggest restriction will probably be that iron suitcase of an exhaust, I may need to just disconnect it and run straight pipes that vent out the side of the car. If I’m lucky they may even shoot some flames. Lastly, I’ll put a lift kit on it, it needs to look a bit more menacing. My little one has inspired me to paint it like Blaze and the Monster Machines.
