Track set-up and turbo failure prevention
Need advice regards track set up for Road Atlanta if possible. Is there any immediate upgrades that need to be addressed before I take the car to the track? New to the Audi World...
Little background on my car-Have a stock car and looking to make a few mods-suspension, camber settings, brake pads (use ATE Blue) and track tires-recommendation are appreciated from those who have track experience. Car has 80k miles, recent timing-belt, orginal turbos, and unmolested.
I have heard that these cars are notorious for turbo failure, which results in massive amounts of oil dumping onto a track. To prevent this from happening, is there any way to determine if the turbos are safe to track? I have the normal turbo noise/whine. When I bought the car in Jan it passed the pre-purchase inspection.. The turbo noise has not changed-same note..
There is a PCA event in Aug and I do not want to one hundred 50+ year old guys hunting me down because my Audi caused a track clean up...or a 150k twin turbo hittin a wall as a result..
If this car is a bad car to track, I would rather pass on the track day then ruin it for someone else..
