I had a 300rwkw G6ET and it struggled

what tyres were you running? also was the car lowered and had heaps of camber?

My R33 (old setup with 372kW) happily put the power down on the street with 255 Nitto NT-01, but it's not that low, has a 2-way mechanical LSD at the back, a few suspension arms to correct geometry).

And of course had boost by gear too

G6E-T was not LSD, rears were 255 falkens running pedders lowered springs, no boy racer camber.

let the fun begin.

Interested to hear what set-up you're going with in terms of intercooler, intake and DP.... and who is doing your tuning.

**Beedub** · 26-05-2019, 07:21 PM

Racingline R600 Intake, Silicone hose, and High Flow Inlet
Pod Filter replacement for the foam filter of the R600 (too many stories/video's of the foam disintegrating)
CTS Downpipe with High Flow CAT
Racingline Uprated Lower Engine Mount
Wagner Competition Intercooler Kit
Racingline Oil Catch Tank & PCV Replacement
Racingline Oil Cooler Kit
Autotech High Volume Fuel Pump Upgrade Kit
RS3 Ignition Coil Packs
NGK R7437-9 Spark Plugs
Eibach Pro-Kit Performance Springs

Considering a turbo blanket but the jury is still out on the overall benefits.

Also keen to do the Golf R Muffler swap for the looks and sound.

Brakes are also a consideration but I'll look into that more after all this lot is done.

Nice!

Did you pick up the TTE475 that was going cheap from up in Qld?

It's a very similar setup to what I'm running (except I don't have the oil cooler/catch can).

Where did you get the pod filter replacement for the R600? was this the MST Performance one or something different?

Brake upgrade and Golf R muffler are on my list also once tuning is completed.

Do it once, do it right hey?

I was watching it, but someone else nabbed it.

I'll admit you, INASNT, and Melbourne_Tiggy have helped form my decisions, lol.

The turbo is the first purchase. The rest I'll start ordering soon.
The pod filter is the MST one, I mentioned it several posts ago, not longer after you got the R600 intake I think?

Good luck with the tune, I'm looking forward to the final result.
