10.5:1 wow... that's nuts for a turbo... must be crazy low boost. like
joyride
(Sep 5 07, 07:37)sort of. there are plenty of forced-induction systems that are running higher compression that 10.5:1. my car, for instance, runs around 12.25:1 under full boost. now, that is augmented by the boost it self (1bar) but still, the compression factors are there.
this was more common on Motronic cars where the monitoring was individually monitored, rather than many of the down-stream systems so prevalent today, Audi included.

The 10.5:1 is pre-boost i believe. And like yours is 12.25:1 under boost, do you know what yours would be without? I'm guessing in the 8-9ish:1 area. I'm still sticking with my original thought of wow that's pretty high for a boosted car from the factory

jeesus man! this is what the car thread is for!! : )
i indeed like this a lot. been waiting for them to release the gnarly V10 for years. but to be honest, i truly think the RS8's motor is what is going to rock everyone; V10 bi-turbo diesel.... so awesome and already won/dominated pretty much every category race it has been entered in.

Sucks that it's an auto-only, but...
Can you retrofit the turbos on uh, other V10s?
- madirish0
i would imagine they could, but of course you would need:
- wiring harness
- ECU change
- intake manifold
- exahaust manifolds
- exhaust system
- flywheel
- clutch
- move coolant and washer resivours
- re-plumb intercoolers, radiator, and oil coolers

That's no match for a gentleman such as yourself!
Imagine a Gallardo Superleggera with those turbines...
