I have a saab intercooler (all alluminum without the plastic ends) I had the local mufler shop fab up a pipe tp run it to the turbo and it includes all the connections .It will bolt right up to any tleg and mine happily boosted to 15 psi without a problem (with a mbc and check ball) . I am in BC ...

Got some Hankook 225 50 15's
They rock! No rubbing or fender rolling either

i think i will go for 55 series. What kind did you buy Lee?

I have one that works but it is the grey connector. Also the connector is a little broken. I replaced it trying to solve another problem. Still plugs in fine though.

thanks man thats what I needed to hear!!

Just wanted to know if 205 55 15 is the best size to go with on my turbo rims. I have 195 65's now and thay are too sloppy. I am looking to go with the Kumo Exsta ASK because the re950 doesn't come in a 205 55.
Also anyone know if the rolling diameter is would be the same as stock? (195 60 15 ...

I called the stealership here and they didn't list the endlink bushings. Just the whole link.
I would just buy the energy bushings and some extra washers and slap her back together. They will end up being better than stock because of the harder polyurathane. The handeling on my wagon is so much ...

sounds like the SDS ecu is what I am looking for. Their page says it is around $1000. I will have to save up for that.

That sounds more simple. What the heck is an S-AFC.
Somthing air fuel control? How does it work?

BTW found out my oxegen sensor is fine. It has the same perameters as the bosch one.

Hey Subtle
What did you pay for your set-up and why is this ecu better? I am in Calgary often so maybe I should stop in and chat with the guys there.
I would love to have more control over the engine.

Greg

I would be very interested in hearing your results if you build somthing to control mixture. I'm sure the computer sets the A/F to the best overall perfomance and if it could be manually controlled maybe it could be leaned out for highway cruising and be more efficient?

Q: Where does an A/F guage ...

Here is my thought. I do alot of flying in small planes and they all have mixture control for the engine. Can you buy a mixture controle device to manualy lean out the mixture when you are crusing down the highway or not driving the car hard? I realize I would have to also get an a/f guage so there ...

forgot that you don't have arear sway bar. I bet you front bushings are shot though. Mine were really bad and the car used to have way more body roll on corners

I replaced all the end link bushings on my Wagon with energy bushings and the car is way more planted now. I had to dremal them a bit smaller to fit into the stock endlinks. Way less body roll now!

It was like 30$ canadian.

Greg

I would put it in for sure. Just finished my all aluminum IC instal and the car is getting better miilage and feels like it has more low end tourque. Screams when I up the boost too. My guage and MBC oly cost about 150CAN$
It took a while to get the IC to not touch the firewall but now that It is ...

thanks mat.
I did move the coolant tank in the beggining and broke the bottom niple off moving it. dohh!!. Now both niples are copper fittings so they won't break. They are screwed in and apoxied.

Do you know how you tell of there are leaks in the system after it is all hooked up?

The piping was a real pain in the ass. First version was made from PVC connections (not recomended). Finally got the piece fabed up at a muffler shop and put it all in last night. Only problem is it ...

Anyone know if these will fit? Read through a bunch of threads and can't see anyone running 225's . I suspect that they might rub.
If they fit I will have a set of 15's for sale ...

When you say "electronic or bleeder type", that makes me think of boost controllers.[/quote]


I have a manual boost controller. Just want to be able to increase boost past 12 PSI/fuel cut

Not sure about fuel cut defender. Electronic VS Bleeder Valve style.

Greg

Bought this tonight!!!

Think It will work alright?
Just have to figure out the FCD options. Whats the word on electronic VS the bleeder valve.

Greg

what mods have you done BAC5.2?

Nice to see some advise from someone who knows s4's . Everyone else doesn't seem to give me a chance. I know it aint going to be cheap but the tleg will be fast when I am done. Only race day will tell the true story. I will get some pics up to follow the whole story.

PS I sent this link to my bud ...

is your car awd

PS ..... Winning by a nose would be fine with me!!!
