New Track Time

[SPL_Jetta]

Forget brands for now...A chipped 1.8T is a 14 sec car. Mine w/ a chip on 100 oct did 14.195 @ 100.16. No other mods. The worst it ever did was a 14.7 w/ someone else driving it, and they missed 3rd gear. (I know it was spiking to 24 psi, holding around 18-19). Treys 337 chipped on 93 octane did a 14.2.
I'd try these few tips;
-Try to AVOID at all cost the burn out box on street radials.
-Dont spin street tires hard prior to running...street tires can get greasy w/ heat if they are cheap...also our clutches need rest, not additional abuse.
-Keep the car off as long as possible.
-When you crank it turn on the A/C to spin the additional fan...then turn it off when you turn off tract control (which ever type it is...OFF)at the burn out box.
-Dont drop the clutch to launch. Slip it as you increase throttle. This is a proven better launch idea on a drive by wire car where the throttle is never in the same place twice.
-Remember spinning is better than bogging, but less is best.
-run once or twice, and let the car rest. 8 runs in a day is pushing a turbo car (heat is the enemy obv) 20-25 times would explain some of the results IMO.

Try to shoot for a 2.2 60' next trip, because a 1/10 in the 60 shows 2/10 in the 1/4 generally.
Good luck;

Well, that 14.1 was with 100 octane, mine was with 93, which is a big difference. A 337 has a ko3s i think? which if it has has a little advantage over me.

The 15.4 was about my 17-18th run, my first run was 15.7 and i hopped all throughout first, so you can see how the heat is killing it. Then again, this is NOT a drag car, i did it for fun.

Also my car is 70,000+ on all the OEM engine components, doesnt the turbos usually give out around this time? I hope so, so i can get a new one, or a ko3s or bigger

Also, would a N75J help me at all? Im not feeling any surging problems, but wouldnt that help me maintain higher boost? isnt that the point of it?
