I'm really liking the sound of this scotch 😀

I've finally got the s60 spot on, I'm so happy with it. I can't see me going any further if I'm honest, but........

[S70T5Chris]

Ps, we need to organise a night out. I miss your face. (And lips 💋❤️❤️) 😜😜

[Dream3r]

Will be watching with interest, hope I didn't get you in trouble earlier.

Cool, no not yet anyway. It's normally pretty lackadaisical about that stuff there but I personally told all of the mods that I wouldn't be doing it.

Has Dave contacted you?

If it's spot on then leave it mate lol, I wondered the same thing but I wanted more poweeeeeeeer

I'm going to definitely try my best to make something I miss you tooo :wub:

[Dream3r]

Has Dave contacted you?

Yes and thank you. I suggested he look at some more stage 1 stuff first, actuator cracking pressure being one.

He's getting help over on T5D5.

Cool, well, I won't spam your thread any more. Planning to get a remap from you via Sham next year, once I've uprated the IC, and got water/meth injection, but I'll contact you both nearer the time.

[Dream3r]

If it's via Shem he's your man I'm always about though

Two Dave's with S60R's now that might be confusing.

Now on v12c, getting there, car is unbelievably fast! Maf is now basically saturated, oh the joys.

I'm working on a MAF adapter for the RS4 maf and housing, if any one want's one let me know.

[Wobbly Dave]

how big is the MAF housing?

[Dream3r]

83mm I believe. It will max out at around 1700 kg/hr, more importantly.

The adapters will be for the R airbox though.

[Dream3r]

V12g and power is probably a little too high. As you can see the maf is well saturated in 3rd.

Approximate power is 460bhp but the tune is far from finished. I am running a little too much boost at present, I'll be de-tuning it a bit.

Below you can see the end of the S60R MAF ... I'm guessing 1400 kg/hr by the end was the real amount going by other values.

[Dream3r]

OK so I got hold of a spare airbox and attacked it with a dremmel (thanks peacey)

83 mm RS4 MAF now test fitted, managed to retain the stock screw holes with the maf offset slightly. Can't think of an issue with that can anyone?

[mike 850]

looks great, my maf is sat vertical and runs fine

[Dream3r]

Bit more progress, filter turned up (it's off a hummer) just fits in the airbox with mortifications

Thinking of an extra cold air feed but we shall see.

[Dream3r]

OK so stock maf cavalli tune/map is done, I had a good A + B road blast today and was very impressed by the lack of lag and brutal power, picture on the owner of an V8 Audi S4 as I went screaming past like he was going backwards- Priceless!

Will have to get her rolling roaded.

[Dream3r]

OK so I thought I could write a quick review for anyone thinking for going for the Cavalli turbo.

I've only done around 500 miles so think of this as a first impression/inside in-to it all, long term reliability, etc, is an unknown.

The install was a slight PITA with a few things going wrong and snapped bolts, but we got there, credit goes to GWE and Shem - thank you very much guys.

Regarding the turbo, I finished my stock maf map after a few weeks of mapping in my spare time and 1.5 bar at 3k is possible with this turbo, which I think is quite impressive, and it will hold that and more to the redline no problem. Around town it does feel a little laggier than the K24 but acceptable, and I am very glad I went for something which spools very fast (triple ball bearing). It will outflow the K24 @ 5K no problem at all.

I don't have any dyno figures yet, hopefully soon if there is a meet, but my target for 420 has been at least met going by my maf figures.

I'm currently running 1.5 bar or so from 3k to 7k but due the to maf saturation am still taking it easy with timing etc. I hope to get the RS4 maf installed soon but am awaiting on more parts.

It will saturate the S60R maf, in third, so beware, datalog the car if tuning

A1 single + dual driving the car is an absolute monster, it's overtaking capability is now staggering (previously is was more than adequate on the K24). This is where is makes a difference for me and it puts a smile on my face

Previously the traction control light was a rarity in the R, but I have noticed it kicking in a bit when planting the throttle up-hill, when wet, not not really surprising, extra care will need to be taken in the wet, tyres are still good but with some inside wear due the failed wishbones

I have a mapping bit of road locally, which is slightly uphill for and my 'waypoint' is a walk over bridge, which I use for my 'trap speed', for lack of a better phrase, it's 10 mph quicker there than the K24, I also suspect that acceleration at this point is increasing exponentially over the K24 as it has normally been outflowed by this point.

As with anything brand new I'm continuing to keep an eye on things like oil and pipes. Hopefully I will be able to give you all a long term reliability report post Combe, assuming I can make it.

Strangely, most of my 'pops and bangs' that come with a stock S60R are gone, I am putting it down to the CBV at this point as I have no idea otherwise, I am running an external recirc now.

As a last note,

Chris Wubbenhorst, of Cavalli Turbo has been exceptional in customer service so far. Many, many questions always answered, despite it being weekends, differing timezones, etc.

Overall, so far, I am a very happy camper. Oh and the turbo makes a supercharger whine until warm, when lightly spooling/coming out of vacuum.

Awesome writeup mate, she must be a right handful now!

First and second are a bit mental now, lol.
