Yeah, allthough visually it doesn't really looks to be any smaller...:





Didn't take more than a hour to exchange them
New feed pump (Carter 100gallon/h) also installed.
Attending a dyno day on the 12th march, so fingers crossed it now all works..

Man....we have to wait almost 2 weeks? That sucks LOL! If the trend keeps going as it has in the past,this change should also bring up another 50HP at the same boost level? I´m sure you will pass the 450HP line...

Just went for some better fuel just across the border today and had the opportunity to tune the maps again and check out the new feed pump, higher fuel pressure setting and the other turbine housing.
All worked VERY well
Boost threshold for my own 1 bar boost reference went down 300rpm to about 4030 rpm
Boost and fuel was also very stable so tuning was much more easy.
All set for dyno day

Wally, a quick question: Are you using the stock beetle voltage regulator or the riechert (porsche) one? I'm trying to build a 1.7 type4 for this season, and I was wondering if I could just use the stock regulator, in it's original position, and wire the porsche alternator just like the orig. vw one was.

What regulator is a topic on its own. Get the right one, type4's also work, but not always as good as could be. I use an electronic one.

Anyways,
Got my pics from Julian today Yeah!:
Thanks to Julian Hunt for making these: http://www.julianhunt.net

yeah, you're right.. I was just feeling a bit lazy, and wanted to leave all the wiring alone. But I'll use the regulator that came with the riechert kit.
Oh, and great pics!!!

Type 4 2056cc 44x38, Web86, Remmele exhaust, DTA E48.
Stock gearbox, which then of course broke on the line at Santa Pod on the 2nd run after some expert advice on how to launch from 'some' DKR member
Car is very, very nicely done, much nicer then mine and is very light and very good roadholding (I drove it last year).\

BTW, I have bought a piece of (cage) pipe to re-stiffen the right-hand side gearbox fork after I needed to remove one leg of the Cup-strebe because of the turbo's 4" air intake piping..

No, not safe for normal use on the road, ONLY for dragracing!!
The gold centered wheels are for the road and circuit (18")

The car is super heavy by the way, not lightweight at all

Got bored today and downloaded the log from the 1,8 bar (1,8-1,9 ~26.5-28 psi actually) boost 'mishap':
Apperently the alu cylinders can survive this boost! Who would have thought that?

Cool! Am I reading this correctly? 4703rpm and the throttleposition is WOT / 100%? The other 2 graphs are going downwards after that except the throttle-it remained opened? Sorry...I´m still learning how to read these things.Or ist that just what the peak was?
