there is no adjustable boost control on my car tbh i would recommend the atb quaife diff not cheap but worth every penny.imo in a fwd car with big power its well worth its weight in gold

Or do you think just 280bhp with a nice progressive throttle is sufficient?

sounds like an idea.....although....

when i was in the VAG 20vT tuning, i used jabbasport for custom remaps every time, they offer something similar but it is a completely variable "boost controller" I guess its just a pot' wired into the ecu somehow. Was very nice to have, and i used it quite often. It did cause some problems though, not with just my car but quite a few people ended up removing them.

I saw photos of a "knob" in the Performance Tuner article this month........................I just assumed that it was a "boost controller"

it is its just not on my car but you could have one fitted if want one

[BRMCooper]

if i had it it'll be on max all the bl**dy time... up untill the point im sunny side up in a ditch

I heard a rumour that 2much was worried about the weight of the knob also that he didn't want to not have to drive his car in any conditions

Ok Guys looks like on the whole most would like 2 stage switch,we can use a variable control but I think a switch is best option. As I say its not essential but it is fun and would save fuel and be more relaxing for everyday gentle driving. Idealy we would need to know at the time of fitting the conversion whether it is required. We could fit later but is more involved .
I think a 'cost option' is the best way to offer this.
Best Regards Roland GTT

Useful for when you lend the Mrs your car - a kind of his and hers setting; can the switch be hidden

[roland2003]

Yes

[Ant FR]

i assume its just a solenoid operated boost control and not a sperate map for each application.

Sorry if i missed it anywhere, but is there an indication of price on this level???

[roland2003]

We also need to calculate the allowance for various GTT parts already fitted to customers cars that can be utilized as part of the 280T qs aswell.
If we can get 5 people initially to put there name down (probably with a small deposit) then this will help the price too. We will start another thread for this later, but for now if your sufficiently interested in having this conversion please post on this thread .

[Ant FR]

i am interested if the price is right.

its funny, the other night i took mine out and thought christ its quite quick, then i thought, blimey what the feck must nearly twice the power be. even with 280-300 your surely going to be troubling 911's and the like?

[roland2003]

I would say so

I'd be very interested in this........................depending on price that is (Roland perhaps you could PM me an approx. price - it'll go no further). My options open to me just now are - upgrade my existing MCS or possibly purchase another one get the conversion and sell my existing MCS.

I was thinking the same, can we have phill craddock design something, rather than boost
lets call it bonnet release
as i know she dosen't use it on her car

ditto roland

ps al and ant if demand exceeds supply i think the only fair way with this is to go alphabeticly

[roland2003]

I'll just pm Mr Aardvark first then.
We are discussing/calculating prices at the moment. With minimum 5 people confirmed it will help the price for sure ,its nice that weve got 3 already (price dependant of course ).
Thanks guys, we will cutting the margins to the bone to give a genuinly superb deal , but not quality.......Garrett GT Roller Bearing Turbo. Plus GTT tig/purged tubular manifold and electric water pump system from the GTT300T.

i must complain on Ants behalf about being threatend like this

IMHO roland did not think about the significance off an Aardvark to a Ant,

[roland2003]

-Garrett GT roller bearing turbo with GTT spec modified compressor and uprated & larger actuator. (oil & water cooled)
-GTT 4 branch tig/purge welded thick wall cold drawn steel manifold
-GTT SS downpipe with integral turbine outlet housing, flexi joint and 2x 02 outlet bosses,mounts to any catback via either decat pipe or cat section .

-GTT 16 tube intercooler (special 280T qs version)
-GTT Cold Ram Induction kit (special 280T qs version)
- GTT Large Thottle Body (special 280T qs version)
-Larger injector system + other mods.
-GTT revised breather /servo/vent systems.
-GTT Braided oil feed hose & GTT oil return systems.
-GTT 'Equal cooling' electric water pump system
-GTT SC delete idler system
-GTT Dump Valve system
-Comp test, cylinder head re-torque, crank/big end inspection.
-T280qs Badging.
-Full 12months warranty on all conversion parts included , optional warranty to all engine internals (eg head, pistons, block ,crank etc ) available .Price TBA
-Optional 2 position boost control switch dash mounted (hidden is no problem!!!)
-SFS/GTT Silicon formed hoses in blue.

-Thats quite a lot of bits & work.
