AutoX47 Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 u sure the 18T has the same wastegate actuator as the 19T? The 300/70?←Depends which 18T you have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadude Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 18T comes in at least 2 variants....straight exhaust outlet and angledalso i think some of the later ones with angled outlet have the 300/70 while the previous ones have a weeker wastegate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volvoboi24 Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 where would one go about getting a 18T straight flange? some people have said VPtuning.. but I only see the 19T there...

StickThatClutch Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Why would you opt 18T over 19T? Just curious. 18T is pretty hard to find. 19T's flow better and are more common. Good luck.Edit: Grammar (its still probably wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amongst other things...←surge? when? and where did that info come from? ....just curious cause i didnt know that....i have driven 19T and 18T on the 850....one of the 18Ts was the car of the owner of MR sweden. And i found power came way to late up the rev band with the 18T whilst the 19T is pretty much acting like a 16T with just a LOT more steam.I also found the difference between my former 16T and the 18T to be a lot smaller than i expected. But this could of course have been due to so many other things. (tho the 18T was dyno tuned directly at BSR.....) i really cant tell .But i would take the 19T any time again. I am very satidfied with it (apart from the CBV, but thats another story...... --> new Forge CBV from TWEETY to come this week.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCviggen Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 I'd also take a 19T....and if it surges just spend a little extra on an EBC...good investment anyway.Florian, when is your car going to be "ready" as in, driveable? Roll cage finished yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roll cage finished yet?←Jan, good to hear from you again. slighlty OT, but they some probs getting the car across germany to the roll cage guy. It s supposed to arrive there tomorrow morning. He will need two weeks. He also asked to come by to get the points for the harness and the seat position. He advised me to fix the seat for my personal measurements instead of keeping it with a sliding device......Thinking of that...I pcik the car up on April 1st, 2nd. Hopefully.
