i have an auto r32 and it revs right out out to 7500rpm...

i do have a large trans cooler fitted though..

not sure why that's happening maybe something is worn?

what happens if you change gears yourself via the shifter? does it hold the gear then? what if you press the power button?

hey i know i would need some work on my autogearbox holding 250rwkw

i was planning to get a mv shift kit to reduce wear... what exactly does this transcooler do? help cooling?

paul i still dont quite understand the full things about turbo's

which of them would have a highest average power for street purposes also on an auto or doesnt transmission matter?

well there are lots of things that contribute to good average power.

the turbocharger is one of the main components but other things are equally important, particulary the ecu tune and exhaust setup. so dont skip on a good tune and exhaust setup. the turbocharger is basically an airpump, but it needs to get be able to rid of the gas quickly too, so a big exhaust is needed

i will have the usual mods for the turbo

that is why i plan to buy the turbo last... but i just cant figureout what turbo between these 3 will be able to pullout the most usuable average power on the street

also for a bigger transcooler... is there any room for that when a fmic is installed?

I guess your just going to have to trust people who do this for a living. I wouldnt advise you on an upgrade if i hadnt done it and wasnt happy with the result. also trying to advise you on the most cost affective way to go about it, but in the end , its your decision.

As for lag, Hi flow incorporates your standard housings, they are just profiled to fit a larger wheel, so lag will not change much at all. If you were stepping up on exhaust housing size, it may be a problem. Should listen to advice you have been given regarding gbox and converters as well as it will all benefit you.

at what rev does the gcg hi flowed turbo's kick in?

is there any site to help me on this?

i was more thinking on hi flowing but last thing i want is a laggy turbo that goes off for a bit then my car changes gear... no benefit at all

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
