Title: 255+bhp AUM?
Post by: Dan_GTi8v on 18 May 2011, 12:07
How much work is needed to be done to an AUM to reach more than 255bhp? Asking as I'm choosing my cat and need either 195-255bhp or 256-325bhp

cheers :)

Lots of work and money, I believe the smaller rated one will be ok.

The safe max I can push the AUM trubo is around 242bhp 275lbft by using a cylinder wetting strategy and dumping fuel in at the top end to keep componet temps down.  This mapping will see 1.4/1.5bar peak boost peak and needs to be ran on V-power fuel.

Once map correct it will be just as QUICK as a the 225BHP TT with a stage1 remap due the the ares under the curves.
