belt is only 5 rib, it's almost physically impossible to fit another rib, unless we relocate the main cooling pipes and cut some staff out to fit thicker pulley...
so far so good, the belt is shorter than in R8, new tune is going in as we speak ...

just got my tune tweaked and German Motoring TCU upgrade for stronic installed yesterday at CPC, while PESed, the stronic got a bit jerky due to obvious reasons, will do some more driving and see how it all goes, also may find some time during this Christmas to do the cheap apikol upgrade, LED interior swap and perhaps something else ... (?!)
also, had this f***n lever sensor error for a while now (prior PES install) so ordered all parts from stealership in Poland for third of the price including shipping, so we have to strip the stronic some times in January as well, then hitting the strip and track ...

think I'm done with the exhaust, unless something brakes, the initial sound in combination with the SC wine is just awesome , best I've had so far, mind due the Kline setup is bigger in diameter 2.75" vs 2.5" stock, clips to follow when sound settles in ...

How you enjoying the charger? Box holding up?

When do you hit your first track day?

cheers, SC is just awesome, launch control at 3000RPM and over lights up all tires, no impact on box, such a fun to drive now, the response from the throttle is phenomenal, track session hopefully next month, been bit busy recently ... can't wait tho

There's more room in that for sure, did you peg the torque to protect the box marzz? Has no one came out with clutch packs yet?

So about 480 WHP and 430 WTQ (ft lbs)

Will be interesting to see what it does at the strip. Hopefully you can get a cold day.

there is always a room, just change the pulley/belt and increase boost, if you want to push it, I'm happy for now with what we achieved so far ...
running custom TCU software from German Motoring, as per Audi clutch packs can take up to 600Nm of input torque, considering that they over engineer everything so we are still of safe side, I think, guess we'll find out soon ...
