Tuning Vlog on my twin turbo 6th Gen

My tuner put up a video of him tuning my car, he goes through everything on it and has some videos of the dynos.

Thanks! I really wish he had some bigger springs to put in it but I guess 900 rwhp isn't too shabby for now.

I love the color.

Enjoy the 900hp for a bit before you turn it up.

I would get set up with co2 or a compressor for dome control. With that you can put in the 5psi spring and have a full range of boost to pick from. If you step up to a 10psi spring that is a pretty high minimum power level.

Something else you have available is letting the Holley run your timing and turning on a 2 step. You have all the hardware to do that, just a little wiring.

Yeah I'll get with my tuner when I am ready, we didn't want to go much past 900 because of the stock A8. 900 will be pretty fun for a street car for now.

Which turbos and how much pressure to get you to the 900 number? Car came out awesome and look forward to seeing more from it.

They are Comp 68mm air cooled turbos. My tuner said the springs in the waste gates were only the 7 pound ones so it was probably around 14 pounds but I'll ask him when I go pick it up and update the thread.

Great build and congrats on some big hp. Have fun with it and get to the track with it so you can put down some good numbers.

Sounds good! I know he said he gave it a couple more pounds over gate to get the 700 number so just wondering if he gave it all of the controller for the 900 number or if it still had room in them. I thought about using the air cooled units in our twin turbo packages but the idea of having to grease them every 3000 miles didn't sound like something most customers would want to do. Let me know how they hold up!

I will do that and he said that number was on 16 pounds.

Very awesome.

Report back how it it feels for drivability & boost response.

I like that guy. Seems very down to earth & intelligent.
