A big thank you goes out to Alex, Brian and Milo for their help and hanging out last night. No noticable creep at 50 degrees outside, 4 people in the car and AC with a full 4th gear pull! Yay :wiggle: If it gets any colder, that will be the real test :fawk:
FYI: My stock turbo would creep sometimes in 5th and always in 6th when the temps dropped below ~45 (car was in track trim so it was a little light). After Will ported the WG it wouldn't creep till ~25 deg and only in 6th. So... I think 99.99 percent of the time you will be aok in atlanta....
Ran out of space on the road, I'll be running 5th hopefully when its chilly (which doesnt look like this week at all, lol). Yes sir, I was seeing absoutely TERRIBLE creep when I was at TGP last (22 degrees outside, lol). I would creep top of 4th and top of 5th like a mad man, had me shifting at 5k in both gears :squint: Now, the weather says 70 degrees for tally this weekend, so that should be excellent. I was creeping under heavily load otherwise, chilly temps people in the car, 4th or 5th pulls. With the WG ported now, it seems alright. The turbo is making a slightly different pitch, but thats about it.
glad you got rid of the creep! i've just recently been offically introduced to creep myself. looks like i'm going to port my sr40 soon. alex, thanks for answering all my many questions
part of that is cause hes also got a ported inlet on the compresser side now too. (thanks genya) also let this be proof that a cracked vf39 does not hurt boost. i would be willing to bet 99% of the stis with vf39s have a crack. funny thing is "this is a bad turbo" is what weve heard all along. but is there any proof that the crack is harming anyone? no
i thought thats what he told me all along he said it was ported. and when we talked about it we compairing the inlet of the tdo4 and the vf39. maybe im confused.
Well, a follow up. The turbo is still creeping. I am going to port my vf39 (even more so) since its out of the car now and swap that in and see if the problem is fixed. It should be, I know where to take more off this time now than before.
hey if you havent already, let me know when you port yours. i need to port mine also now since i just ordered my tbe and i know its gunna creep like a mofo with the divorced wastegate style dp the exhaust has. local wrxatl.com wastegate porting day FTW
hahah not all of us have extra turbos laying around! lol i'll see what i can do! if anything i ll just show up a couple hours early and start pulling shit apart hahah
