Faisal's TT - The Turbo Hairdryer
Re: Faisal's TT - The Turbo Hairdryer
For a little side project you are not messing about are you?!!!
Is it noticable just how much lighter the TT is vs the RS4 on the track?
Even on the road I noticed that my R55 JCW Clubman was much more lively and agile than the RS4, most of that I put down to weight difference (1280 vs 1710kg).

Re: Faisal's TT - The Turbo Hairdryer
Glad you enjoyed! I think you got in there before I added some of the pics
Yeah - they were pretty hard on my lower back and backside. It's typically a 4-5hr roundtrip to a circuit from where I am - so they had to go. I was driving around sitting on a memory foam cushion!
Yeah absolutely! Don't get me wrong - it's by no means a lightweight - still a heavy car for its size (easily 1/4 tonne heavier than a clio), but still brakes and changes direction very differently than the RS.
We haven't gotten to the good bit yet....

Faisal's TT - The Turbo Hairdryer
RuskiWeldShit
You've heard of JCWeldFab ?
Now meet - RuskiWeldShit (AKA Pule333, or Ilya to his comrads). I'm claiming 10% royalties on the name...
Ilya volunteered (worryingly enthusiastically) to do some jobs on the TT for me. This was appealing, as 1. the man can work a spanner much better than I (just see his track car for proof), 2. I couldn't be f***ed, 3. Mates rates innit
So - the job list was:
- Make a functional splitter - using some mounting brackets that I'd purchased
- Relocate battery, using a lightweight Li-On replacement
- Fit replacement V6 front bumper I bought on eBay
- Fit replacement fibreglass wings (approx 2" wider - as I hope to fit 265 tyres soon)
- Fit cold air feed to my intake
In addition, Ilya knocked up a little switchboard and mounted a battery cutoff on it, and also mounted a lightweight fire extinguisher (i'd gaffer taped one to my cage......what?)
New wings:
Battery relocated. New one less than 2kg!
Cutoff switch:
Cold air feed:
Tow strap (Ilya’s idea)
Splitter fabrication - with some highly technical guidance from me (the pink squiggly line)
Massive thanks to Ilya for his epic work!
Unfortunately I haven’t actually seen the car since it was all done - as it left on a trailer straight from him, to TSR Performance (Rob at TSR is a well regarded engine builder for the 1.8T).
There, it will be getting a bit of a power bump

Faisal's TT - The Turbo Hairdryer
Shameless plug
https://youtu.be/jMYsSQlfXss
And a few extra images. TT has a lot of potential! Needs to loose more weight and in my opinion better suspension set up. TT was one of the contenders for my own track car before I bought a Clio. So it was rather enjoyable working on it.
And a little bonus PFA. Safety first when cars fight back haha. Socket slipped when tightening the splitter mounts.. uuups

Re: Faisal's TT - The Turbo Hairdryer
So, rods have been upgraded (to ZRP items), and the valve train (supertech). Needed new valve guides too as TSR assessed they had a bit too much play in them.
Next up - Turbo kit to be fitted and engine refitted hopefully next week, and should be getting mapped the week after

Re: Faisal's TT - The Turbo Hairdryer
So - the engine is back in the engine bay - with the G25-550 strapped on!
Next up - having some hard intercooler pipes fabricated to fit the new toyosport wellycooler (replacing the less effective forge item)

Re: Faisal's TT - The Turbo Hairdryer
Latest pic. New intercooler is in, with custom hard pipes fabricated.
I’m told it just needs mapping. The project seems to have been on the back burner, as they’ve been busy with other more pressing jobs. Partially my fault for not checking in for 3 weeks while I was away!
Keen to get it back now though
