You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

Which way are you leaning?

Stretching my memory now but about 10,000kms. After that I had a hissy fit. In went in a OS88 sequential then a PPG sequential. The extra gear is a game changer.

Busted a pretty new stock S3 box with 370 rwkw. 3rd gear was stripped bear. OSG gear set with a plate. Busted a tooth off in 2nd. Roughly 770 nm/472 kw atw. Nismo coppermix clutch used in both setups.

And this is the the thing with a high powered, AWD, heavy car. The engine is easy, the driveline costs just as much as the engine. 🤷‍♂️ Welcome to GTRland. Whatever you think your budget is, double it. Whatever you think your timeline is, triple it.

There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?

It will happen, give it time. 🫢

I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

This issue has been there between twins and singles… it ain’t the hot side.

-5’s did it. 8474 did it. Not hot side related. ECU related? 🤨🤪

Big question… have you decided on a gearbox? Because it’s going to come… and a gearset ain’t going to do the job. save your pennies 🤪

A few things that seem a bit off here. - why is there 2 BOV’s? - the turbo smart BOV on the compressor housing, is it turned up ALL the way? I have seen this become an issue on old man Pete’s car. It would push open and recirc, turbo speed would rise and the boost pressure would do weird things. - stock head? Does that include springs? - tried a different MAC valve? Is it plumbed correctly?

Won’t be hard to beat them. 🤣 Farken sponge cakes!

What is the current snail?
