@LOGiK you would frankly be better off with a whole new intake really. One with a heat shield and cone filter
Whatever power you lose from sucking in engine air is made up for with the heat shield and more heat resistant intake
Its the reason i went with one. Lots of research, amd the general consensus seemed to be that a whole new SRI with heat shield is best for turbos.
I know box mods are enough for s1 tuning and the shitty sr gearbox isn't really up to more than s1, I don't need more than about 300hp so the box mod is the cheap way to go, but I'm very lazy
I guess if I see a z32 afm with a cone filter I'll grab it and remap
I'unno, those SRI's are pretty easy to install.
As long as you remember that there's supposed to be two gaskets in it.
Don't forget that.
I forgot that until I had mine fully assembled. Had to take the whole fucking thing apart again.
Turned a 30 minute install into 2 hours
Volkswagen AG has more Nurburgring lap time records than any other brand, including the current fastest. Keep in mind these are the people who make Porsche.
all modern VW's have Audi engines and they're usually the same ones put in Audi cars so its not rare to be able to bump up your VW by 50-100hp simply by swapping in some Audi parts.
oh, and Lamborghinis are VW products too, and not just in name either, they've audi TSI V10/V12's.
they haven't used the exact same engine for 40 years
Alright, it's the battle of the North Atlantic boys:
2017/8 V8 Vantage, vs Mustang.
@radeon Hmm, thats a bit of a letdown I guess. Not exactly living up to their Italian heritage
602 bhp, its also the fastest lamborgini on the ring.
third fastest car around the nurburgring is the V10 making 631 hp
and to be clear, that is faster than *all* ferraris
vw and their ownership of other brands has lead to the boring corporate snoozewagons being so prevalent, almost everything being made by the vw umbrella is soulless corporate cash grabs. While lambo might be more reliable now, they're much more boring, the urus is an insult to the brand, most of audis lineup is reskinned vws with awd options, bentley is now the automotive equivalent of designer handbags, porsche are the only ones with any individuality left really and that's because the outright ownership is also the most recent and convoluted
oh and then there are the side companies; seat and skoda which just sell polos, golfs and passats with different shapes
also nobody knows how fast ferraris are because they cheat on all the testing
they put goddamn slicks and road legality breaking ecu tunes on their test cars, it's complete bs
Cannot say about seat or skoda, but the rest makes little sense.
The Urus is the result of customer demand.
Have you _seen_ the sales figures of the Cayenne and Macan?
Not to mention theor profit margins.
Lamborghini was never a mass market brand, vw have decided to impose that on them
by reskinning a toureg and selling it with a badge tax
Maybe so, and if they go that route fully it will be a big mistake
Having an entry level car isnt a mistake tho
I don't blame them for doing it from a financial perspective, but no car enthusiast should be supporting this behaviour
Also, man, the friggen Cayenne is a reskinned Toaureg
Try telling that from driving i
One
and I doubt it will be a mistake; the majority of people buying supercars these days aren't buying them to drive them, they're either buying investments or buying badge status
