Beautiful car. Did Andial fill in the rear fender air vents or did they turn it, otherwise, into a Turbo-S??

Either way, I love it!

Great Car, great color choice (although I am biased)

I am not that familiar with Andial. What do they do to the car as far as upgrades etc.

Excuse my ignorance but I am also new to this list and owning a P-Car.

Take it out for a drive to celebrate the New Year

Andial essentially turned into a Turbo-S... and then some. The car produces 570 horse. The previous owner added the Turbo-S rear wing. Thanks for the comments!

Thanks for posting the pictures. Andial builds a very strong, 3.8liter, twin plug engine. They generally use a larger than stock intercooler (back in the original housing, so hard to tell), great programming, and nasty cams. They generally also use their "mid-weight" flywheel with a much beefier clutch. I'm not sure if Andial also changes oyt the rods for Carillo or some better aftermarket rods. You can count on at least 550 HP with a very strong low rpm response. A wonderful engine.

Your Andial compatriots are CJ, 911/Q45, and JJayB (Jimmy the felon). There may be a few others. Bradford also has a 3.8L, but his is an FVD-build... also very, very healthy.

And, no, I won't trade you for Rufus!

There are several upgrades that are done to achieve 570 hp. They mainly consist of upgraded turbos, intercooler, exhaust, etc. Essentially everything. I agree, polar silver is an awesome color!

Thanks for listing the other 3.8L owners. You are correct, Andial does change the rods to Carillo's. The intercooler they use is 40% larger than the stock unit. Rufus looks like one sweet machine! Let me know if you ever change your mind about the trade!

Chris,
Welcome to the board. Enjoy your new ride. The only upgrade I'd recommed is a Cargraphic/Ruf oil cooler if you don't already have it. There is also a GT2 oil cooler but you loose your air conditioning, and since your in Flordia its proly not an option. Oh, theres also an upgraded ecu but it requires race gas.

570 HP That must be a rush when you get on it

Mine is stock and it has great power but an extra 160 HP could be addicting, and expensive on tires

Chris,

Your car is not related to a TT "S", except for the wing and front splitter. In the USA, the TT "S" was rated at 424HP. The TT "S" came with lots of interior trim pieces and those unique but useless vents in the rear fenders. TT "S" are highly sought after by collectors, and most of them are garage queens with very low miles. Your car, on the other hand, is a nasty "sleeper", all set to suprise Vipers and Z-06s. Just try not to laugh as you blow their doors off.

Great looking car with a great power plant. Congrats and welcome to the board.
