bcl Toughest BA Turbo Lifetime Members 3,408 Member For: 22y 2m 5d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 29/05/09 09:58 AM Share Posted 29/05/09 09:58 AM The valve springs and fuel pump are stock. I asked for a safe tune and they gave me 306kw :SYeah they said the gearbox is on its way out and I'm saving for a clutch atm.I Drove my car today and it seemed to go to 5,500 alright without it cutting out (stop pulling). Is it supposed to be able to rev all the way to 7,000rpm ?To get the story straight, going the way you are, you'll need new valve springs, then fuel pump, then clutch, then gearbox, then motor!Past around 5300rpm is beyond maximum power, but in reality don't push it past 6000rpm.Over 300rwkw, the T5 will potentially go, depending on how hard the torque comes in and how hard you drive it.If money is an issue then don't push your luck, and take it easy until you get a better understanding of the mods and your car.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Member 15 Member For: 16y 4m 3d Posted 02/06/09 11:46 AM Author Share Posted 02/06/09 11:46 AM (edited) Thanks for the posts guys. Yeah I think I will take it easy on my car as I can tell it wont last long if I trash it.. When its not completely warmed up and I thrash it a bit, it stalls (it was doing this before tune though). I'm not sure why this is but it seems to be alright when fully warmed up. Also when cold, the the engine dies out at 5,000rpm, but seems alright when fully warmed up.Ive managed to scan the Dyno sheets so hopefuly they will help.
