colsoop Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I liked TTC when i had it set up that way, but i have a manual car so can always keep the turbos on song, i think if you do a lot of town driving then nothing beats the sequential system. I found TTC easier to launch from a standing start though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 and if i think its shite i'll just put the switch back to sequential mode and leave it there:Pling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I think it's crap, complete loss of power below 4000 (don't believe the people that say it's the same as an NA below 4k), and then at 4k both turbos come on to full boost and you loose traction in all the gears! It's fake as well, because of the hike from no boost to full boost in a few hundred RPM it feels like you're kicking arse but in fact you're not going any quicker than you would be in sequential - except you've cut out the low end power!!! Can't be good for tubby #1 either forcing it off then suddenly pumping 4k worth of exhaust through it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Can't be good for tubby #1 either forcing it off then suddenly pumping 4k worth of exhaust through it!!! Actually running TTC is much safer for the turbo's than in seq as there's no chance of the vsv's screwing up and sending gases the wrong way thorugh the turbines. And I love it! Supraloopy, I would suggest that you try the 5 min TTC mod first before any wiring as at least this way you give it a trial run, and if you like it then you can think about adding a switch, if you like I can come to show you, I'm only in Hockley.

Tom. thanks tom the only reason i was goin to add the switch was 1. cos i can, 2.if i didnt like i could switch back and leave it until...well fuck knows but i would have had the choice:p maybe if you fancy we could meet at the cock inn tomorrow (wed) about 8pm so i can check it out???

SUPRALOOPY Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 so tom showed me how to do the manual one..PIG if you thought your car was load now do the ttc. not sure if i like it yet and need to find out why i can't use the switch. no noticeable loss of power just a bit slow on the uptake but nothing to worrie about..i will give it a couple of days and switch back to whats what:clap: to tom for meeting me and showing me:clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Nice meeting you dude! I'll be off tommorow to get sanding on my lights! Thanks for the pint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I find it to be completely pants apart from for one thing. It makes the exhaust really loud in town and stuff whilst off the turbo's as all the gasses go through the wastegates instead of the turbo's up to about 3-4000 rpm. I find the power delivery on mine is minimally smoother and robs ya of all your low end ooomph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRALOOPY Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 I don't suppose anyone has a sound clip of the two set-ups have they? just do the manual its a five minute job. sound wise ttc=very nice seq=as it was...try it if you don't like it put the hoses back and all is well:D http://mkiv.supras.org.nz/articles/andy.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 You also get the added bonus of VSVs rattling on idle and overrun making it sound like your car's about to fall apart!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 i used the ettc on my car before i went single. i liked it alot. if you dont like the noise and the loss of low down grunt then dont ever go single Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub_Culture Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Sounds interesting. Anyone have a car in Surrey that has had this done and would be willing to take me for a spin for the return favour of a pint of your preference??? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I had true twin and found it horrible! Even on Idle, it was louder but it was a horrible drone. Motorway speed was deafening and this was before de-catting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I'll try doing a couple of sound clips today, Andy have a read through this link, it's very easy to do; http://mkiv.supras.org.nz/articles/andy.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 i used the ettc on my car before i went single. i liked it alot. if you dont like the noise and the loss of low down grunt then dont ever go single Yeah, except there is a big return gain for going single - massive power above 3500rpm. You don't get that in parallel mode, you get, hmm, the same power as sequential. Been through all this before with yer actual dyno graphs rather than the seat-of-the-pants-ometer: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=42086&page=2 -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
