Theres not many running the p2's at 400+bhp as it means changing the turbo to achieve this you should be able to get to around 350-370bhp by fitting bigger injectors, full 3" exhaust system, a bigger intercooler and a custom remap oh and either shim the liners or get darton liners fitted as the r's are known to split the liners at high boost(although not all R suffer this problem)

cheers, yea i think im gonna spend a few grand on this wee thing. i see that the states have a cavalli turbo ctb30vr seems n sounds a nice bit of kit. i read that anything above 22psi they seem to ££££ them selfs
Thought the thread title said "Turning advice" which is a common problem on the R.
Stay clear of small multi-story car parks and narrow roads

Yeah the Cavalii seems good on paper and is very fast in my car. Longevity is yet unproven, it's still in the development stage on my car. Awaiting a larger MAF once I find a filter that fits.
There has been a lot of concern by some that the exhaust housing is a Volvo TD04 one and is also too small. Here is what Cavalli say https://www.facebook.com/CavalliTurb...6241073917312/ .As for the American's they have 399 WHP from it as seen hereWe use a triple k modifed turbine housing with a 58mm turbine wheel. It is a little different than the factory R housing, but bolts directly to the stock downpipe and manifold. We use our CT3 compressor housing with a 55mm billet compressor wheel. We will be dyno testing shortly. We have to have a supporting tune in place as you know and we are working that out now. We have boost set to a maximum of 17 lbs during testing and we see max boost right at 3k rpms. If you have any other questions, feel free to call me at 185550turbo. Thanks Chris
Would I recommend it? Jury is still out on that, as above.
As for performance, on my car, here is a recent graph I took of a 3rd gear pull.
A tuned R with a K24 will rarely do more than 1020 kg/hr, I'm guessing this is around 1400kg/hr+ based off figures I've seen with this turbo and larger mafs.
This is with a shimmed block, 45mm IC, 630cc (at 3 bar) injectors, Feritta Exhaust, 3" DP and my own map.
(Yes on paper at least it's well over 400 BHP)

cheers, il get saving with a car this pristine it just needs to be a wee sleeper and i love the sound of that vid that is music to my ears. my friend was going to make me the exhaust his works 2nd to none but iv have a big problem my clutch has went soft and wont open up for selecting gears theres no spring back in the clutch its like pushing a break pedal thats full of air

No problem.
I'll be updating my build thread here over the next few months, too damn cold atm and I can't make my mind up on the maf.
il keep an eye on your thread What kind of clutch are you using...ive got a suspected slave cylinder gone so when the box comes off i may aswell uprate the clutch when its off
John is mapping my car with the CTB30VR turbo & the results are very good. I have just put in the AP racing clutch and SMF from Don at Kalmar Union rated at 440 lbs/ft or 600 Nm's it feels very much like an OEM clutch only slightly stiffer. If you are not loosing fluid it might be the clutch master cylinder. This went on mine.
the fluid looks fine when i looked, i only got it yesterday n it went last night so im a bit stuck for getting it in and fixed straight away but il get it in next month and fixed, was going from 6th to 3rd crunched but never went in lifted the clutch back down and wouldn't select any gear so im not too sure whats happened, what kind of moneys in them if u dont mind me asking or have you got a link

This is what we'll be having fitted when the clutch gives up on our R, pretty sure it's the one DTP is using.

thats the 1st thing i done took the air box out there all attached n free checked for leeks couldn't find any, so its parked at my mates and im stuck with the old work banger for now :'( it will move if i select 1st and start it so i dont think ive shattered the plate, cheers il have a wee look at the kit now
That ap clutch and fly wheel is a nice bit of kit i have it in mine clutch feel is almost the same as a standard clutch which is exactly what i was looking for

anyone ha dealings with these? my friend got on especialy made for his scirrocco with a single mass its a little bit more springy from the pedal and the clutch is more sharper for biting but he has a 6 paddle

Not myself, Don's has provenance in at least one track car, most likely many more as well.
You'd be basically trying it out for the rest of us
