No freaking joke.

Who needs a wideband when you have a narrowband and a natrix chipped ecm?!

So finally got everything in. As requested, I have posted the following pictures showing the difference between the modified audi k24 housing and a stock porsche K26 #6 hotside. It's quite noticeable really.

Here it is in all its shiny glory after I mated it to the porsche K26 housing




Porsche K26 exit bore diameter



Porsche K26 entry diameter



Modified Audi K24 Exit Diameter

Porsche K26 Entry Way



Audi K24 Entry Way




It's really hard to tell from the last 2 pictures, but the Porsche K26 has a much larger runner going into the turbo housing. Me and scubadave believe this is a good reason to his detonation issues. The exit diameter on the Porsche k26 is a MUCH better fit with its 50.00mm diameter. I'm honestly not sure what that will change over the 51.xx mm exit diameter of the modified Audi K24. Perhaps a reduction in turbulence????


All I know is I'm going to polish what I can on the inside of the porsche hotside and enjoy the hell out of this turbo.

My name is Scubadave and I approve this message.

Ugh. Had a fight with the CIS tonight. Fired it uo after 2 weeks of sitting and it did NOT want to idle. After backing out the idle adjustment screw, it finally idled. I dont get it. 2 weeks ago it was fine. I do know there is something wrong with the fuel system. I hooked up a pressurr gauge between the WUR and the fuek distributor and measured the fuel psi after shutting the car off. It idl es at 55-60psi which is normal. Then upon shutdown it immediately drops to 15psi. Its only supposed to drop to 45psi after 10 minutes. Where the hell is my fuel going?! Ugh I am so ready for VEMS

Im highly suspecting the WUR committed suicide by boredom. I have a couple extras and all signs have been pointing to it, so Ill change it this weekend

Couldn't a bad FPR be the culprit too?

The WUR is a fpr. Its real name is control pressure reg

Mr. Taco - I had a similar issue on my 87 Fox with CIS - I ended up ripping off the CIS for a 32/36 carb but I realized when I pulled the injectors off it was simply that the injectors had some crud in them (Most noticeably in the Cold Start Injector) Give those bad boys a nice brake cleaner batch and check those lines.

YeH thats a good idea. I was going to buy a harbor freight ultrasonic clearing machine and soak them in seafoam

Well, another CIS problem. Dont know about you, but I dont forsee the current fuel system keeping up the the Volvo K24. I could be wrong though.

Dont know if you noticed, but there is a set of 550cc injectors for sale in the swap meet. hint...hint...

A volvo CIS unit is very cheap as well with a one or two extra Injectors along the way:) - search alaincopter on vwvortex for some CIS inspiration.
