It depends on the internal orgins of your engine ( Mainly Pistons ) .... is it designed to talerate extraa BOOST?
In your case I think you should ask TT expert or the Agency about the safe limit of Boost.
The More boost you add ..... the shorter the engine will live if it is not designed to take the extra load.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

After what you did with your car Engine is not qualified to go with turbo

Re: After Use
I think you missunderstood, it has already a Turbo ( from the factory ) and Moe wants to boost it a little.Blackchallenge wrote:After what you did with your car Engine is not qualified to go with turbo

Moe what is the current boost pressure? I am guessing somewhere below 1 bar (14.5psi) I was running a Fiat Uno Turbo back home with stock boost of 0.75 bar (11 psi) and with the aid of a bleed valve upped the boost to 1.25 bar (18.75 psi) with great results. I did however maintain a very strict 3000 miles service interval using Mobil 1 synthetic oil and OEM oil filter just to be on the safe side. Point to note is the car is still running fine 6 years later in my Brothers hands and now up to 100,000 miles but the Fiat body work is rusting apart as is normal with Italian vehicles.
As regards operating a boosted TC'd vehicle over here with high ambient temperatures, in my opinion providing you are not constantly full throttle for long periods of time i.e. I used to frequently run a long section of twisty 'B' roads with like minded friends flat out for fun til they speed camera'd it! or the brakes faded, I do not see a problem. Providing your cooling system is in top notch condition and you look after the turbo in a sense you make sure you cool it down after a hard run (in this case the exhaust driven side of the turbo will be visibly red hot +/-800degrees) for a good 15 mins or so and make sure you let the engine idle for a while before switching off you should be ok. The latter makes sure the turbo is not still spinning at high RPM with no oil feed and hence protects the bearings.
In my opinion it will be ok with a moderate boost increase. Just my ten cents worth.

Hi Moe,
try it with these guys:
http://www.abt-sportsline.de/Home.7.0.html?&L=1
They know if the car suffers. Abt is the only tuner who works on Audi without loosing warranty for your car.
I know you don't have any warranty anymore but I see this as sign of quality...
:hat:

Moe, why dont you go for computer mapping? I done this to my GTI (2007) and gained 30BHP with 80N off torque more. This method is perfectly safe and as Jo said ABT can do this for you.
