ARD Green impression and review

How to go faster, stop quicker, and turn harder. Chips, exhaust, larger turbos, bigger/slotted/drilled rotors, high performance brake pads, manual boost controllers, performance shocks/struts/springs, airbox mods and more! Also discussion on HID and Xenon lights, aftermarket foglights and other exterior lighting.

If you're having trouble with power below 1500 rpm, that's likely not turbo related as few turbos (even in the TD04 range) will be making much boost at this RPM. I'd look more to cam timing and perhaps a bit of overlap may be to blame...

I recall your mechanic set your cams for you, is that right? Might have him double check the settings and confirm what they indeed were set to....

Keep me posted and I'll help anyway I can!

I know its not turbo related, It happened, or at least i noticed it, after the tune. It's not bad enough to change it. It might have been belt slip (ahhhh scary!) And Lucky, you've done enough and have your hands full finding new ways to be awesome. :) Thanks for the offer! I will have some questions and advisement for running a k24 on the LPT block for you in the future though, as well as why my exhaust smells so damn bad when in boost (after i do more research lol). But i suppose thats not for this thread, eh?

Also, wastegate adjustment nut is frozen on, and im out of PB Blaster. I also enjoy tires and grip, so no new video. Sorry
