Valve body and torque converter were changed out. 4500 miles since 06/02 zero problems with the VRT set up.
Intercoolers do wonders.
See the air intake temps go up as the vehicle stops moving? At best it showed 5-10 degrees difference to outside ambient temps which seems pretty efficient to me. I've hooked up to N/A FXs and they show similiar 160ish intake tmeps so it's not the turbos heating the air up as much as the VQ and VK are hot motors period and the engine bays have almost zero venting.
Intake air temps
29c-64c
(84f-147f)
Coolant temps
85c-96c
(185f-204f)
It's a 05 RWD, very very noticeable difference vs a Stillen. Stillens are fun, the TT is a whole other kind of beast. There's plenty of low end torque to go around.

that's what i thought - rwd. i wonder if you would be able to do the same with awd. i have all kinds of problems just dynoing my car. tuning is another big issue. i know xman has utec on his car but i don't know how much it will handle.

This is absolutely insane... Your 0-60 time is crazy...The only thing I would have done different would be to lower it a little more...But I mean this is straight up a monster. Congrats and enjoy.

Did a new 1/4 run the other night. Changes to set up are Mrev2 lower, Motordyne 1/2 spacer, test pipes. Same tune since Im still adding stuff and my A/F is still on the rich side, maybe .05-.75 leaner with these add ons.
0-60 4.343
1/4 12.847 @ 109.25
Thought maybe it was a fluke so I tried it again a few nights later on the same road opposite direction.
0-60 4.425
1/4 12.929 @ 108.09
The community here has been pretty nice, thanks for not telling me to post somewhere else.
