wackou Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 For how long are you planning keeping that V40 stock? :) For towing purposes: chip, cooler, 16T should make things more interesting :) You never know when you need that extra 100hp.

wackou Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Excellent traction. I wish I could have that good AF ratio :) (I have 10,5 at WOT) but of course you have the luxury of having E85 fuel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VulvaS40T4 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Boost by gear knob installed. Button up 2.2bar (590hp/550nm) and no wheelspin on 3.gear. Button down 2.6bar (666hp/620nm) and its still good to drive flatout on higher gears. Max boost 2.8bar (707hp/655nm) is on traction limit (4.gear) and on some roads it still spins tires @ 240km/h / 150mph. :D http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o143/VulvaS40T4/boostbygearknob_zpscw7tbpbh.jpg 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Riker Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Your car is so rad. Are those wheels also called RK? If so, very light weight. However, check for cracks, as all my 18x8's had hairline cracks in the ends of the spokes into the barrels. Was so so sad when I found those. Have you ever considered a newer generation turbo? They likely would flow as much as the HX40 and come online much earlier. Or is that how shit gets broken? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
