In the Audi museum mobile, the focus is on the history of the brand. He'll be driving it into the ground now because he'll never recover the cost.At car delivery in the Customer Center, around 120,000 customers and their companions take delivery of their new Audi cars every year. I've done my fair share of modding Diesels and blew turbos and half shafts but I never experienced such a sad face of my buddy and spending so much money just to get it back on the road. Apparently those are all well known problems to Audi but it seems that there's a time bomb waiting to explode. He paid another 5k Euro to get that fixed. So metal shavings everywhere, tank, fuel lines, injectors, just everywhere. Back to Audi and they found out that the high pressure pump let go. He had it back for 3 days and the car stalled in the middle of the road. They however only gave him a 2 year warranty if he swaps back to stock ECU.

He still had used car warranty on it so Audi was nice enough to install a new DSG with him paying 4k Euro, leaving 8k to Audi. He got similar numbers but 6 weeks into driving the car, the 7 speed DSG broke a main shaft bearing which destroyed the whole gearbox. My buddy has a 2010 A4 3.0, had it modified by MTM in Germany. The dyno plot associated with the L0370P is very interesting in that it seems to have 95% of what mine has at the bottom end but a lot more top end performance. Loba also do an uprated version of the GTB2260VZK turbo used on the newer 3.0 TDI cars and this again appears to have an uprated billet compressor wheel and some machining of the standard turbine housing yet this is supposed to be good for 370bhp. Looking at some of the turbo's available in particular the LOBA items (I know they are ridiculously expensive ) it seems apart from a larger billet compressor wheel they use the standard turbine and do some machining to improve flow. Is it similar to a GT23 turbine or a GT25?. I have come across mentions of an AMG turbine is this a particular turbine used on a specific turbo. So if you have had some dealings with tuning these engines or have any ideas on what Is needed to get to around 360bhp but still maintain as much driveability as possible it would be great to here from you. The current map peaks around 1.8 bar at 3K rpm and this is down to just over 1.6 bar at 4K RPM, fuelling looks to be about 80mg/str at peak power.Fuel pressure is running at 1800 bar. I don't really want to fit a larger turbine if I can get away with it as I know that will definately slow the spool. 6 +6 or GTX 11 blade or is there no real difference. I know I will lose some of the low end performance I have at the moment but the question is how big a compressor wheel to fit ?.
#Audi a5 forum de upgrade#
I would like to upgrade it with a larger MFS /billet compressor wheel and am looking for around 360bhp. I have bought another standard 2060VK turbo the same as fitted to the car at the moment. Having been dabbling with diesels for quite a few years now I have always found this forum very useful, and a lot of the users on here extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and have noticed a few of you have had dealings with this or the 2.7TDI engine.
There is a build thread here with pictures and videos. Current best 1/4 time is 13.3s at 104mph. I have fitted a WMI system that I use at Santa pod/ GTI international etc and on the odd time the car sees some track action.
#Audi a5 forum de mods#
It has an upgraded intercooler and some exhaust mods but is basically running the standard exhaust with the DPF /Cat gutted so still passes current MOT's in the UK. It has a DPF/EGR delete and is running the standard turbo. Made 312bhp and 720Nm of torque on the dyno at MRC.The engine is a CAPA engine code. I currently have a B8 A4 3.0 TDI quattro remapped by Rick at Unicorn Motor Developments.
