StormchargedVR6 0 Posted April 12, 2008 2.5" :sleeping: 3" is the all new :norty: LOL, 3" has been around for donkeys :lol: Not really relevant for a crank driven turbo though. 2.5" is more than adequate. First post alert! 3" will make power over 2.5". I had a rotrex'd 2ltr(not vw) that made 345whp and my 2.5" system was 20hp down on someone with the same setup. Nice corrado, what fuel pump are you using? Sorry if it's been stated but have skimmed the thread rather than digested it to the full :) Bet it was hell of lot of booming in the car with 3'' system with a Charger, you will getaway with 3'' on a turbo not a supercharger.

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 15, 2008 Agreed, it's just a numbers game. It's how it drives on the road that counts and how long it holds together. Looks like you're losing 40lb/ft from 6500-7000rpm, not a criticism, but bigger valves and a bigger exhaust should help hold that to 7K, but as you say, brakes first. No prizes for guessing what I recommend! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No prizes for guessing what I recommend! Yeah with the oe cams it seemed to hold better at the top end even though i made more gains throughout vince did say that was the only let down... it drops from 320@6600 to 270@7200 but i will look to sort this is that the same for the standard engines? if the cams are high lift is there alot of strain on the valve springs too I did look at the AP's... big money but needs to be done Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 17, 2008 LOL , so anyone with a pace maker need not apply? :lol: Bobbi, yeah stock cams and head give up at about 6500ish rpm too.
