This car came to us orginally for diagnostic work, Andrew was disappointed with the power the car was making. He was told the car made 550rwhp (so he ordered custom plates to match that ) After doing a baseline dyno the car did not even make 350rwhp. So Andrew said "If my liscense plate says 545rwhp I need to have ATLEAST that". With that said we set forward feed his hunger for more power!

The car is in the break in process, our first tuning sesssion we were able to accomplish 520rwhp at 11psi. We made the wrong spring choice on these actuators so we had a hard time building more than 11psi of boost. Car will be back in a few weeks to change the springs and go for 600rwhp.

Enjoy the Pictures! We will be back after the car returns for new springs and tuning.

Damn, I couldn't tell what was going on with that first dyno chart. I had to look at it three times before I saw the heading above it, then it made sense.

Does this car belong to a forum member?

On a side note: I would hate life if I had to dish out that kind of money TWICE (once for the first build, then again for the CORRECT one).

Beautiful work!

 

VOLK GTS!! FTW! haha...

i need to go FI

 

holy moly that is pretty ridiculous... awesome part is, it almost looks like a sleeper looking like a stock roadster with some wheels... then again most of us aren't that stupid...

 

wow. i'm really interested in a project like this for my 5at sedan... could you PM me a rough estimate on cost (minus the wheels)?

 

I would say this is probably the second 420TT I've seen after Alex's 420zTT

 

Great work Sam, can I get a GTM badge on mine too

 

Very nice...

 

moving to socal is goin to be bad for me.

 

600whp does not seem like that much for a 4.2TT after seeing the 855whp car.

 

^^ yeah seems like AT is holding things up? gearing/FD/tranny? wonder how much they're all good for

 

oh yeah, they're only boosting 11lbs... wonder how much that 855hp car hit

 

More than that!

 

I would def. be happy with that much power, I ain't greedy.....
