jackie · 21st January 2009, 10:45 PM

almost 100%, something to do with master cylinder for brakes?

jordansmithr32 · 21st January 2009, 10:51 PM

Oh so its just something to do with the brakes, so the turbo kit will fit??

cheers andy as I thought

as above the master cylinder on the rhd car would be in the way for the second hgp turbo, but thats not to say it cant be done but would have to be a custom setup.

jackie · 21st January 2009, 11:39 PM

mega money in development I would think Andrew!

pomme · 21st January 2009, 11:58 PM

I reckon it could be done for around half the price of the hgp 460 kit

jackie · 21st January 2009, 11:59 PM

you reckon, wouldnt have thought that

there really isnt that much development to do between a single and twin conversion except the manifold and a slight change to the piping really.

True but you need to bear in mind someone would have to develop a Mani that's still gonna work efficiently
and the downpipe will still have to clear the prop etc.
Also if it's to close to the master cylinder heat is gonna be a problem for the fluid inside.imo

theyve done a twin turbo conversion on a rhd mk 5 r32 havnt they ??

pomme · 22nd January 2009, 12:24 PM

yeah for sure the manifold needs to take account of the head as they arnt equal length there. but most good tuners should be able to make up a good manifold and downpipe in a couple of days. then it really is just the same as a single turbo conversion, ie fuel pump, injectors, injector rail mod, intercooler pipes, intercooler, headgasket or rods and pistons. then probably the most improtant thing the mapping.

i wouldnt have thought so about the heat but i guess it really all depends on the turbo you use. i use a water and oil cooled turbo and it oly gets a tiny bit hotter then a stock car, ie i can go for a very very spirited drive get home, immediately open the bonnet and rest my hand on the inlet manifold right by the turbo vey confortably and leave it there.

not sure jordan,best to give jon at vagtech a ring.

try putting your hand on the turbo though. that is where the heat will be.

Any way of moving the master cylinder?
