The PDR (Performance Data Recorder) option is popular and admittedly cool on the C7 Corvette. For the new C8, Chevrolet designed some updates including increasing the resolution from 720p to 1080p for the PDR camera. ...TTE releases TTE510 BMW B58 hybrid turbocharger upgrade - M140i, M240i, 340i, 440i, 540i, 640i, etc.

The B58 tuning market is really heating up. There are plenty of software solutions but the factory turbocharger is taxed fairly quickly. If you want to reliably go past ~440 whp depending on supporting mods and fueling you will need to upgrade the turbocharger. ...Published on 08-05-2019 04:41 PM
Well, we knew it was coming any day now. Unfortunately, Hennessey gets this accolade and is the first tuner with an 8-second C7 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 1/4 mile pass. So, for at least a little bit, Hennessey is the quickest on the LT5 platform. ...Published on 08-05-2019 04:21 PM
Enthusiasts no doubt will be enamored with the big turbo 2.5 TFSI builds that set records but it really is incredible how strong a MKIII Audi TT-RS or an 8V RS3 becomes with just some tuning courtesy of good software work. ...Published on 08-05-2019 04:02 PM
Where we left off with the KRATOS F80 M3 was with it making 1163 horsepower to the rear wheels and raising the S55 power output record to new heights. Well, their Dodson Sportsman+ DCT setup became taxed so in order to move further and reliably hold all that torque a new DCT build was necessary. ...Published on 08-05-2019 03:39 PM
A very impressive 1/4 mile result here from a Camaro SS LT1 that bolted up the news Magnuson TVS2650 supercharger that is finally shipping. This result is even more impressive when you consider the LT1 is on the factory rods and pistons. ...Published on 08-05-2019 03:24 PM
Turbosystems Lithuania released these aftermarket turbo actuators for the Audi 4.0 TFSI twin turbo V8 engine platform. These are a bolt in affair designed to help with controlling higher boost in larger power applications where the factory piece can fail. ...Published on 08-05-2019 03:13 PM
A new Volkswagen Golf is always a big deal and the upcoming MK8 is eagerly anticipated. Volkswagen has yet to officially reveal the car but we get an early glimpse of the full design thanks to it being spotted in a European advertisement. ...Published on 08-04-2019 04:37 PM
Who the hell is going to pay $84.5k for a 2020 Supra? Well, an idiot. The balls on these Toyota dealers to charge a markup after the C8 Corvette was revealed at a sub-$60k price point would be comical if it was not so pathetic. ...Published on 08-03-2019 03:32 PM
ChevyBoost somehow missed this run from LMR but you can expect an 8-second stock LT5 bottom end 1/4 mile run any day now even though we are still in warm weather. This actually would be an 8-second run if they were not fighting some TCM (transmission control module) issues. ...Published on 08-03-2019 02:53 PM
It is no surprise to see a Mezger block 911 Turbo topping 1000 wheel horsepower. Frankly, there are more 1000+ examples of the older port injected 911 turbo GT1 derived engine design than the newer direct injected engine designs. ...Published on 08-03-2019 02:33 PM
RK Autowerks developed air intakes for the AMG M157 5.5 liter twin turbo V8 under the hood of the C218 CLS63 AMG. Presumably, these can be adapted to the W212 E63 AMG which share the same M157 5.5 liter V8 as well. ...Published on 08-02-2019 07:01 PM
The Supra is polarizing. Some love it, some hate it. The looks certainly are not as good as the concept car but Titan Motorsports did a great job making the Supra look more aggressive and certainly less 'cute' than stock. ...Published on 08-02-2019 05:01 PM
The Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires are just about the closest street legal tire you can get to a full on race tire. They wear quickly and need heat in them but they are well regarded currently as the top performance tire option for the roadcourse. ...Published on 08-02-2019 03:52 PM
Looking for more power out of your brand new Lamborghini Urus? Of course you are. With the ECU now cracked some serious tuning can begin and TTE (The Turbo Engineers Germany) already has a hybrid turbo upgrade ready to go for the 4.0 TT V8. ...
