Let's hear it: Builds

[GtiDom25]

Alright men, let's hear it. I wanna hear the builds you all have going or plan on building up. On my mk6 I've currently got a beautiful 3inch full turbo back BillyBoat exhaust with a resonator delete, Nuespeed p-flo air intake, forge spacer(yes, I know there's no power gain. I simply just enjoy the sound), I have a stage 2 custom tune I'm pushing 300hp, a beautiful ~25 boost. I also have a weighted M1 Abrams shift knob that just makes shifting orgasmic. This summer I'll be replacing my clutch and probably getting some upgraded brakes and rotors. Let's hear it.

How are you seeing 25psi of boost when the factory MAP sensor maxes out at 23psi (1 bar sea level, 1.5bar boost)? Or are you living up on a mountain somewhere so the pressure ratios are different?

The map can go to 23, the car can still boost above that.

Although I'm seriously doubting the 300 hp part. Stage 2 isn't making 300... At least not to the wheels.

Edit: the OP didn't specify stage, so I'll wait to see if it's stock turbo

Guess i'll post my current setup and future goals.

Current:
42DD Turbo Back exhaust
Cobb Big SF Intake
GFB DV+
034 Street Density Motor Mounts

Future:
ECS Pendulum (Have, installing this weekend)
HPA 75A Puck (^)
BFI Stage 4 Clutch
Peloquin LSD
iAbed RMS (Have, waiting for clutch and LSD)
Fluidampr Crank Pulley
Turbo Outlet Pipe (Spulen probably)
Charge Pipe (CTS or Neuspeed probably)
ETS Mitsubishi Intercooler
Aquamist HFS-4
Stratified Pro tune

This is all just to prepare for eventual big turbo setup with a goal of 450whp.

Edit: Any recommendations or change advice welcome.

Did you notice any difference with the MAF straightener? I have a 3" MAF housing and sometimes my AFRs get a little crazy, wondering if this would help to get a better reading from the MAF.

Do you not have the map for the COBB intake? That'll explain your AFR shitting itself. Go Stratified as you get a free map with your AP

I have the map for the Cobb intake. I'm gonna go stratified once I get all my parts on. For the most part it's fine but when I'm maintaining speed around 65-70 the afr fluctuates between 13-16. I'm guessing it could be turbulent air giving the maf a bad reading, especially since it probably wasn't designed for a 3" housing so the straightener may help

If you're cruising with little load the AFR can go all over the place, if I'm tapping the throttle on and off to maintain speed the AFR can go past 35 for split seconds. if your AFR does that under load then you may have a concern.

I believe it is from "The Game". I haven't watched it though. I just use the GIF when I feel someone is going to be roasted soon. :laugh:

You know what, I mis-spoke in that list (just copied from my build) - i had actually bought that with intention of installing but found that the unitronic intake actually has one before the MAF sensor already. So in other words, my maf readings are probably fine (havent confirmed)

That like 3 second gif makes me want to watch it now.
