Venting In Under Arch Cover.

[JJRS4]

What you need, what you really, really need are cone shaped air deflectors bolted to the outside of the alloys deflecting air inwards, and through the spokes to the rotors. Just like Audi America did when it went racing with the 200 turbos. Fresh, cool air. And lots of it [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

Thats exactly what I suggested in another thread some time ago.
Blueing disks

Make them of carbon fibre and bolt on for track days only.

JJ what can I say other than great minds think alike [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img]

Seems better than relying on a few cable ties [img]images/graemlins/FIREdevil.gif[/img]

It was done by dahlback racing or something along those lines, im not 100% sure though. It was about 1-2 years ago approx.
I hope this chap doesnt mind posting his car picture. [img]images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

i reakon just install a massive mother FMIC, remove the stock IC's and install vents in their place.

It's possible that the wheel arch mod does not help with intercooler airflow because the normal side exit creates low pressure at the exit, increasing airflow through the intercooler area.

i.e. the mod may flow at a lower 'straight through' rate whereas the standard system 'sucks' air out and therefore flows better.

You would expect Audi to have spent time designing and testing the solution as well ? Just my 2p

Good point David, I'm with you on this.

Yes, one wluld have expected audi to test and design but they did come up with the bendy wheel too.

Thats a Feature by Design. Cough, Cough...

Dog, what wheels did you go for to replace the nicked BBS's ?

[wazza]

Spill the beans, Paul! (Although I can guess)

I'm sure you guessed correctly Tim [img]images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

The hardened originals with 265/35/18 93Y SO2s. And Smirtire system.

Whats "And Smirtire system."

[dog]

Continous tyre pressure monitoring system.
http://www.smartire.co.uk/fl/
It costs about 900 AUD. I have the full remote system.
I had a blow out and am very concerned about tire pressures ever since. (6% of road deaths are due to incorrect tire pressures)
