(1160NM)Haven't taken it to the track yet, need to build the ZF.. the extra torque and hp has accelerated the destruction of my box by 10 fold! Its slipping 3rd-4th under heavy load and doesn't like to operate in sports mode anymore, have to use manual.Starting to notice a fair bit of heat soak with the PW2 cooler though... after a few runs or hotter days you can tell the difference.I've ordered some aerofroce OBD gauges so ill be able to take some temp readings of intake / manifold temps and see just how efficient the cooler is in diff conditions.I'll post up the findings.I think with the Mickey T's on the back and a built box.. Mid 10's shouldn't be a problem.. it pulls like a train! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are you thinking of getting the box built by?? With that power and a set of slicks you'll get a 10sec pass. I managed a 10.4 with standard converter and 470rwkw. Just make sure you open your bonnet after each run to get as much hot air out. These cars suffer big time. Just feel the area around the throttle body after a run. Very hot. Good luck with it and have some fun!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has a massive advantage over the stock 92C+ unit and keeps temps way way down regardless of weather...As an example, My TT (Territory Turbo) runs at 84C normally and NEVER gets over 88C and that's both engine coolant and 6sp gearbox. This in itself makes a huge advantage when drag racing as by half track your temps will be heading north fast.The only disadvantage is maybe using more fuel but who gives a fck anyway with 400+kw's...Food for thought!
