    Lean A/F.

    What was the chip you have made for? Mate if your chip was for a non force induced car and you are using it with your supercharger then you could do some real damage to your engine!
  2. Yep, and cover that pipe, its all about the go not the show!!
  3. Its all about stopping the heat from entering the filter and pipe if a metal one is used. There are 2 types of heat transfer happening in the bay, convection and radiation (conduction is through the charger itself). If you use a cone filter the heat sheild is critical. Jabba shield is a good shape and size but lacks some insulation. Its good at stopping the radiation heat transfer due to shiny surface on engine side. But it needs some insulation on the filter side since it will itslef get warm due to being a metal. Insulation could be a layer of neoprene, insulation wrap etc. If using a metal induction pipe, try and insulate this also.
  4. When the car is in idle, does the a/f gauge cycle? You shouldnt really be flooring the car with the standard chip mate, you could be going very lean under boost.
  5. What pulley size are you running? Perhaps the easiest thing would be to put a set of 30lb Red Top injectors in. You'll know what you have and we can supply a map for that no problem.
  6. You need to get the car mapped correctly. Standard EPROM and you're running larger injectors so it will overfuel on idle.
  7. Take the outlet off the charger and take a peek.
  8. MFA is usually inaccurate for boost measurements, best get a gauge.
  9. Hehehe, yeah you could direct the air onto the back of the manifold, don't know how much of a difference it would make though?
  10. I know what you're saying about the noise mate, it can be annoying on part throttle, just strap a hose onto the exposed tb and route it away from obstructions, should make a difference.
  11. Yes, but the lubrication achieved with using a ptfe spray is better since its not "dirty" or hot, and sticks to the seals longer. Of course it means you have to manually apply it periodically. It doesnt produce a "gain" in performance, but it does allow you to maintain the performance you have. After driving about for a while, the charger/ic/hoses get heat soaked from the boost return pumping hot air back through the system. Also the oil vapours dilute the octane in the petrol meaning the ecu retards timing to reduce knock. In terms of the noise on partial throttle, you can reduce/eliminate this by attaching a hose to the bypass side of the tb and routing it away from the bay. Perhaps someone could adapt an exhaust tube to attach to the tb then run down the chassis and end up next to the actual exhaust at the bumper! Now thats novelty value!! 2 exhausts, 1 for emissions, 1 for bypass boost!! :lol:
  12. Sorry for shooting you down mate but i should make a point on this. When you are under full throttle, the bypass butterfly is fully closed so that boost return hose is closed meaning the charger will only draw the air in from one side anyway. When under partial throttle the loop is open and hot air then circulates around through the charger again making the charger/ic/tubes hotter and hotter. :cry: The oil fumes do coat the inside of the ic making it less effective. You should take the ic out and clean the inside by filling it with a degreaser. The lubrication by the oil vapour is very negligible and using a suitable ptfe spray does a better job. The primary reason that VAG did this was for noise/emissions.
  13. Means his injectors reach max capacity at this rpm.
  14. Its always deceptive watching videos from within the car. Last time Danny had it dyno'd it was 220whp.
  15. Aaah yes :D Classic american commentry :lol:
  16. Hi Guys One of the SNS guys in the states Danny, has been building a 16vT into his raddo for some time. He's constantly developing it, newest additons are modified wastegate and side exit exhaust which he's getting sorted next week due to the noise! Its a T3/4E turbo on a 16V ABA block with plenty of mods, currently running 15psi with 500cc injectors going static at 6500-7000rpm :lol: Heres a recent clip from Atlanta: http://www.snstuning.com/temporary/16V- ... htdump.wmv

    Next Step

    Going from a 68 to a 65 isnt that drastic on a flowed charger, as long as you change gears by 6200rpm you stay in the design limits of the charger. We've seen guys in the states running 52mm pulleys! Better flowing exhaust and inlet will help make more use of the boost. Totally agree with the FMIC issue, thats 1st on the list!! :D
  18. You can also take advantage of our recently introduced discount to all CF member! Have a look in the suppliers section for more info. :D
  19. Well........ Most chips are essentially the standard chip with the fuelling and timing tweaked. We've gone beyond just timing and fuelling to incorporate our No Lag code and some other subtle benefits. 8) But as Daz says, its all about being happy with what you have!

    Next Step

    As mentioned, make sure the car will be happy with more power, so an oil cooler will help. Most effective way of getting power from the G60 is from boost and cold air. Before you cank up the charger you'll need to ensure the extra work done is cooled effectively. So an FMIC is the 1st step. 2) Get the charger flowed. 3) Smaller pulley (65, 62mm) With the smaller pulley you'll make more boost so will need to upgrade your injectors to reds and swap your current SNS chip for the Red Injector chip. That should do it!
  21. As if by magic, have a look at the suppliers section for a 10% discount to all forum members! :D
  22. Hi guys We'd like to extend a 10% discount to all corrado-forum members on our No Lag Chips and Pulleys. :D So for example: Stage 5 No Lag Chip = £110 rrp = £99 for members! P&P will be £3. This discount is only available when ordering directly through SNS Tuning UK. You can contact me via PM or mailto:[email protected] (Mods could this please be a sticky?)
  23. All these levels are confusing, even we have "stages" in our chips :lol:
  24. If you're getting the charger rebuilt, you might as well spend a little extra and get ot flowed. Not only does that mean more boost, it also reduces the internal pressure of the charger under boost making it more reliable. The chip and pulley will make the most of the flowed charger and you'll find the car totally transformed. You'll also benefit from better throttle response with our No Lag coding.
