not really sure, hoping to hit a dyno soon, possibly this weekend. crappy thing is the car isnt regisitered, so i am going to have to trailer it if i take it anywhere!

Nice, you got an a3 vr6 in it? what engine was in it before??

 

[TJG]

just an a3 intake manifold, it flows better than tha a4 one, and it is metal instead of plastic

shitty day at the dyno as nothing went right! it was 91 degrees out, less than ideal to make power, and my dam boost controller failed, so i had to run off the wastegate.

oh well, at 8psi, it made 284hp and 297tq. not too bad for a fwd little vw, is it. more dynos to come as soon as i get my boost situation figured out!

What turbo are you running? What all exactly is done to it besides the A3 manifold and the turbo setup? (i.e. any internal work done, etc.)

gt3071, arp head studs, inline fuel pump in addition to the stock unit. 8.5:1 compression lowered with a headspacer. www.venommotorsports.com for more info.

here is the dyno:
