There are rs3 Loba turbo cars running trouble free so go for it shouldn't be an issue.

 

Not aware of any in the UK which is a little disappointing. There's a Loba manual car that's just run an 11.2 1/4m so with an S tronic, you would expect to see that in the 10's. As to the box limits, I think it will handle it, loba is primarily better in 5000+ range over the stock turbo so it's doubtful there are any increases in peak torque (over Stage 2) anyway and it's peak torque that kills things.

There's a few big turbo cars kicking around now, 2 in the UK, both APR offerings although not sure if they are finished and up and running yet, Also, there are a couple of more in Europe, 1 of which is a Rothe tuned S tronic car in Germany running around 580ps, the acceleration video is insane but there was a hint of clutch slip in that. As far as I'm aware no performance benchmarks from these cars yet.

 

I think more info will be revealed on the 20th!

yea this is what i found a bit of a worry, alot of, yea it will be fine, but non i can see actually done!

but yea thinking about it, it does make sense that it wouldnt be hugely different from a stage 2 torque wise, i wouldnt be trying to go mad with it, i think just the hybrid would do me, just strange not to find it done before over here, but then again i suppose there isnt a massive amount of lo500 kitted cars over here yet. cheers for the info tho! good to know it seems possible, like you say, from the performance figures from both stage 2 s-tronics, and lo500 manual cars, you get a pretty good idea the results would be quite something.

 

jesus... i think i found that rothe vid, thats madness

 

what you have to decide is whether or not there are any real benefits going with a Loba on the Stronic in the UK ?
A stage 2 stronic is fast enough up to 100 mph,the Loba will pull away above 120 mph.
So it depends how often you will go above 120 mph I suppose.
There are Stronics running Loba kits in Germany
Hperformance have done quite a few cars,but can't guarantee what Hybrid turbo is used on their stage 4
Here are their graphs for what we would call stage 2 and 3

This dyno was from their test hybrid turbo car,I believe they have squeezed a few more ps out of the kit since.
I think their best with a stage 2 car is 460 ps on the dyno they use ?

 

yea your completely right, i have to remind myself its alot of money just for the car to have longer legs, ill definitely take it to stage 2 and leave it be for a while before hand, its a hell alot of money for the gain really.
