So here is my interpretation of this post:

Before you start to work on turbo you need to already have either downpipe 3" or full exhaust 2.5-3".
Additionally you heed to have either FMIC or air-to-liquid IC installed.

So this turbo setup consist of original bored hot side, adapter and Garrett GT2860RS.
On the photos you can see how hot side is attached to adapter and how adapter is attached to cartridge. Which means Variable Flow will still be working and both solenoids are still there. There are mounts for solenoids on the cold side.
This should be installed on the OEM exhaust manifold.

What has to be changed/adjusted:

1) Oil feeding: has to be switched to flex feeding and fitting for the original Garrett restrictor 0.9 mm as its a ball bearing turbo.
2) Oil discharge: original Garrett oil discharge should be installed. Original hose can be used or you can switch to a braided one.
3) Coolant feed/discharge: Garrett specific banjo bolts should be used along with fittings.
4) Important: do not forget to use heat shields for all sealings, hoses and pipes.
5) Intake pipe from the IC must be relocated 2 cm closer to the driver side since the 2860 cartridge is longer than the OEM one. Plus, additionally you need to weld 2 nipples (4mm) for variable flow solenoids air supply.

...to be continued

Macan is based on the Audi Q5 platform while Cayenne is based on the WV Tuareg platform.

I don't know about all that, but I will keep you posted on what we come up with. Still talking with BIG companies about a turbo kit.

Awesome man. That gt28 hybrid seems bad ass.. I wonder how the ecu is going to like crazy boost. Just have to wait and see I guess.

Hahaha your in for some crazy numbers. Im getting his tune just with a intake for now. Going to do injectors and Downpipe in 1 shot and just do 1 retune. Can't wait to see what vit pulls out of it. How's your tranny been holding up? Just normal fluid changes?

I'm on my ninth data log with them. I haven't had the chance to test out the current tune, due to all the R&D stuff going on now. But, so far it's all been good tunes for me. I can't wait to get it back on the road. The trans is holding up good, I did a full service transmission fluid change at honda around 60k.

awesome, i am due for a oil change shortly so going to do that and the tranny. Only honda ATF right?

KenB350z 02-06-2015 07:45 AM

That's what I used. Not sure I will use when the new tranny and tq converter comes into play.

I am interested to see how the torque converter will do. You went for a high stall one right?>

Not yet, but that is one of many items that will be crossed out from my signature.

Nice, I'm sure you're going upload some vids. Speaking of, I still need to grab a few gopro's! The catch can is ran off the pcv valve and valve cover breather.

I'm just trying to figure out where the heck his intake and filter will go.
looking forward to this wish it had its own thread though.

kraz3RdX 02-14-2015 08:18 PM

It will when im done

TheWrench116 02-14-2015 08:28 PM

any thoughts on a "race" battery to save space? and potentially mount it someplace else in order to get more room in a very busy location?

kraz3RdX 02-14-2015 09:04 PM

I rather have a good battery hommie... Its a daily... Not a race car... Have kids... So dont like taking chances

KenB350z 02-14-2015 09:04 PM

Hmmm...

kraz3RdX 02-14-2015 09:07 PM

How much power u made ben? Im going on the dyno tuesday wen my tuner gets bak in town #Derftuned

KenB350z 02-14-2015 09:15 PM

That was a ok tune. I'm running 800cc DW's DW65c fuel pump. And yes that was with the cams.

fair enough its just a really busy spot under the hood. maybe its not as congested as it looks.

Most of them will be having around 300 whp on the same dyno where Ken has 280. The difference is in the IAT. Its rarely coming out of +45C on +30C day. The difference between TMIC and a2w ic is 25-35C which is huge. This allows you to have more aggressive tune. Along with what Ken already has this setup will bring him to 300-315 whp easily.
There is also another build in Russia that has Garrett turbo swap, a2w ic and some other goodies. Around 330 whp.
Thats what you need in order to get ~13s quarter.


I beg to differ ill go to the track this year and get into the 13's
