Well woke up from the Phone buzzing ---> email from Pieter, he was still having problems with the cooling.
Since we removed 2 hoses from the rear of the engine to create some space and from who we thought could be rerouted/deleted...... Uhmm to make a long story short, we made a mistake.
So luckily i have another engine here in the barn, removed the small housing from the rear of the block, searched for the hoses we need.
And around 13:00 Marvin picked me up to drive to Nijmegen, we got there around 16:00!
The car was still on the dynapack, jumped under it and started with the most shittiest job i did in a long time, had to remove the housing + hoses, didnt have room to turn my head.
It took quite some time but eventually managed to swap the housings over and add the 2 hoses we needed to the coolingsystem.
Bled the system and everything was great!
Since it was already getting late, we ordered some food and Pieter would do a few quick runs.
He did a few runs, and engine ran very efficient, already doing 318BHP on 0.6 BAR, wich was already almost 27 more then the 205 turbo (466BHP) from Eric which did almost 290 on 0.6bar in the mappingstage.
You can see what a difference the DP inlet makes here, alot more efficient then the standard GTI inlet.
Pieter did a few more runs, and on the last run the newly installed hose on the back of the housing to the radiator decided to tear, so spilled everything with coolant.
Cleaned everything and removed the hose and fitted the reserve we brought, since it was now already very late! we decided quits.
Pieter will try to finish the car on wednesday, we decided to go max 1.2 bar (that is the max for my wastegatespring installed now) and installing a bigger spring will be a bitch of a job, so we decided max 1.2 bar will be enough for now, which will see us in the 440-450bhp range!
So ill update again when Pieter gets back to me,but things are looking good for now!
