Guys,

Okay so this will be a two part post....

1) what if any upgrades area available for the C5 RS6 in the way of camshgafts, turbochargers, converters etc etc? I am aware of the ecu and tcu reprogramming but I am after more that what they have to offer so any guidance etc would be appreciated!

2) Rather than create another post I have numerous parts that I will not need, so if anything interests anyone let me know,the list goes:

Engine complete without electronics (ecu,harnes, sensors etc)
Transmission complete again without electronics
Turbochargers
Intercoolers
injectors
Fuel pump
ECU and TCU (immo defeated with GIAC tune told will run in any card)
Lots of other stuff so pm or ask f you need anything

Thanks a lot.

Loba do after market cams and turbos I think. Wagner do some nice intercooler but the box will limit your fun. There was a 700bhp manual on the market not so long ago, if you can find the advert it will show the hardware used to run that power.

Welcome and FON

Not sure I can get my mind round your project - you are scrapping the engine and transmission, but keeping the suspension and shell??

What's the project for - track car, road vehicle...???

Perhaps a bit more info might help us suggest suitable mods/parts

No,

The parts I have are forma wreck I purchased for parts.

I am simply planning on building a faster version of the factory car by rebuilding the engine and performing some basic mods such as porting,valves and camshaft upgrades.

I also need an upgraded set of turbos and am limiting myself to the OEM ones as space is an issue in the engine bay!

The manifold is another bottle neck. MTM did some but they are silly money and rare as rocking horse poop

Yep, they are a known bottle neck. I'm aiming for ~700bhp see how we go I guess!

Just a warning. Agreed to to buy the TCU mentioned above, but after the payment was sent the seller went all silent.

Ahhh, this guy again. Us Aussies are perfectly capable at making pricks of ourselves without this guy's help. There was a thread on RS6.com about an Aussie that had ripped off its members. What an A-hole.

Didn't read that properly the first time, thought you said he ripped off his member.

Nah, wasn't that some Japanese bloke that then sold tickets, cooked it up and sold it to friends/family/other total and other whack jobs? Doubt there was much to go around tbh.
