20vt help

[hobbiniho]

right iv just bought myself a nice little mk3 with a BAM 20vt running an emerald ecu and i was needing some advice on my intercooler i will let the pics do the talking




now i think that that intercooler is way too small (its also twisted) but i might be wrong and also that pipe with the reducer like that cant be good?? what does others use sprinter??
another question is where would the map sensor be located?? i thought that it would be in the intercooler piping somewhere but i can see it

Hi mate those pipes do look way to small ,i would look for an intercooler kit with 2.5" piping for a bam ,im running 2 1/4" but only got ko3

Looks like a Bodge!!! Bet it wasn't making much hp.

2.5 all the way!

I ran 2.25" pipework on my S3 with a K04, and it managed 275BHP/330lb-ft just fine...so I'd argue that 2.0/2.25" isnt way too small.
Larger pipework = more lag.
Have you looked at the size of the compressor on a K04?
Have you seen the size of the standar AMK/BAM plastic charge pipe just before the TB?

Oh...and that's where the MAP sits on a BAM/AMK...in the black plastic charge pipe from the IC to the TB.

im running 2.5 all the way around. if your not planning on running more than say 250 (which is the max id go to myself) then iv been told and am running the toyosport 2.5" kit from ebay. intercooler and piping for about the 130 mark.

yeh im looking at the toyosport kits well so far its got a decat straight through to the backbox and a sh!tty carbon closed airbox thing, i was planning on getting an uprated tip probably badger5 and some sort of heatsheild although this will require the battery relocating to the boot for space and then get it mapped
is this the map sensor??

because there is no other sensor on any of the pipework


and theres no MAF either  so how can it run with no MAF or MAP

That looks more like the inlet air temperature sensor IIRC.
May be wrong though.
I thought the MAP sensor had two bolts to fix it in?

Doesn't need a MAF...it can be mapped against throttle angle and boost.
But for that it would need a throttle pot....and I don't see one.
What TB is that anyway?
It's not a BAM TB, that's for sure...not with a cable!

[Screech16v]

Looking at my mates bam set up, his map sensor is mounted on a pipe before the throttlebody and has two bolt fixings. As ess says that is the air temp sensor.

[hobbiniho]

ok the no MAF i can understand there is a throttle pot its on the other side it never even registered with me that this engine should be DBW and not have throttle cable  iv got no idea what TB it is, its got vw stamped on it. how would the ecu know the boost?? i dont really understand 1.8t's im more of a tdi man myself

Qpeng body?
