[S.a. May Barossa Cruise]

i was gonna say for you glenelg high rollers, we'll be cruising down south road onto anzacs, so if you wanna park up acrross the road from le cornu somewhere, ie furniture place or rug place, we'll roll by and you can follow us out.

what time you thinking across from le cornu?

[S.a. May Barossa Cruise]

yeah i will be leaving from down bay way so we can hook up some where down here then meet up with the deep down souf krew as they cruise through

how does caltex pine ave , glenelg nth , 8.30am sound?

[S.a. May Barossa Cruise]

any southerners that want to meet up first, we'll have a meet point @ southgate plaza, leaving at 8:30am

let me know if you'll be there so we can wait around for ya.

we'll probably stop in somewhere along anzac highway to get any of the centralers??? is that even a word!

Hey , this will be my first stag run so i'm going to try my best to be there.

are there set plans as yet for the southerners?

i'll be leaving from Glenelg ,so south gate is a bit out the way.

An Anzac stop would be easier

If there's no Anzac stop then i'll head to south gate.

[Which Turbo For Vq25-Det?]

after more investigation , the real story is to modify the existing housing to accommodated a garret ball bearing spool. doing this changes the housing dimensions by 16mm. To then have this fitted requires more modification to the cast air pipe and a lot of d#%king around.The end result is better than the normal high flow option. But the normal option being a far less complicated procedure, that has proven its worth time after time. Not being overly keen to make things to modified i'm going to take all your advice and go with the standard high flow option. Thank you everyone for their input . I have also decided to install an e-manage ultimate at the same time. But none of this until the front mount is done which is booked in for Monday week. The rest will be depending on how fast i can find another turbo to be high flowed before the car is taken off the road. Can't afford to be to long with out the family car.

[Which Turbo For Vq25-Det?]

I have just done a gcg high flow. It was an engine out job. I got a 28/71 core. The power is increased a little and it is alot smoother. If your going to do the job I know a good place. Once the turbo was out I got the turbo rebuilt by ATS ask for Bill. He has done a few M35 turbos now.

Ive spoken to bill and he will remove and fit the turbo but he sends the turbo to Sydney to be high flowed. I been offered the same service for less coin. $1000 less which cant be ignored.

[Which Turbo For Vq25-Det?]

I think you have been mis-informed, no-one here has fitted anything other than a highflow as far as I know. I am about to start work on a manifold adapter to run a GTX30 but it is a month off yet. Why don't you like the highflow? It would be a cheaper option as nothing else will bolt up. A t28 isn't the answer, our stock housings flow better than those, even better than the r34's op7.

What sort of power are you looking for and who is doing the tuning?

To clarify , they gt28 was given as one of two options. The other being high flowing. Neither were given given preference from the tune shop. They expressed that both options were comparable.they said the gt28 comes with a adapter kit making it a fairly straight forward fit. The gt28 will work out more expensive but i wont have to wait while my turbo is high flowed. They said both will give the same sort of performance.

the car is the wifes daily drive but why shouldn't she be going fast. Lag is a concern of mine.

[Which Turbo For Vq25-Det?]

hello all,

i go by the name chopps.

I have a 2001 m35 rs4 and want to upgrade the turbo. i am aware that i have the option of high flowing the existing turbo. And what is involved to get it done, with a rough idea of performance gains. I have been asking around about options and been told that a garret t28-64 can be fitted with performance results comparable to high flowing the original.

I want to know what people have fitted to the VQ25-det and with what results? What are peoples ideas and experiences? Does any one have a better option than the ones i already know about? Who has fitted any other turbo and what is their honest opinion's?

I would be grateful for help so let me know what you know! Cheers

[This Is The New Recipe Chat Thread...]

Well last week the m35 was fiited with a custom 3inch stainless full exhaust, high flow cat, and magflow muffler. As a result, i now need a boost controller to keep check on boost levels. this is booked in for next week. I have also replaced the stock 17' rims with much better 19's. and plan new suspension with the intention of lowering the car. if any one knows what suspension works on the 2001 rs4's can you please let me know!

[Sa Stagea Dyno Day Need More Cars]

Hi Ben,

Welcome to the SA stag community . You could put your car on the rollers just to see if its behaving well ect even though its stock..... Also will give you a base figure so you can see how much your mods are improving things as you do them If not im sure everyone will be fine with you coming down just to spectate and shoot the shit with us. So what is it? Series 1 or 2? RS4V or S or RS ...? Color ect ect...

Hope its not a stinking hot day :S Not sure if dyno runs on a stinker of a day is a good idea for a car haha

Cheers,

Chris

cheers for the welcome Chris.

Ive got a 2001 m35 rs4. and i was kind of hoping to have had it on a dyno before the 14th for a proper tune and make sure all is well.

noticing the hotter weather is really having an effect on the performance. seems like a tuning issue to me. so if you know any one who knows their way around a m35 and a dyno let me know. but as far as catching up with others i'm keen as. need all the advise i can muster.

[Sa Stagea Dyno Day Need More Cars]

I have just bought my rs4 which is stock so not much point putting on the dyno. but wouldn't mind catching up with other stagea owners. so i'll be there to spectate if thats cool with those organising and holding the day?

[Anyone Interested In Organising A Decenber Adelaide Cruze?]

Yeh I'll be keen. Let me know where and when. Keen to catch up with other stag drivers.
