E-51 Racing in Taiwan recently participated in a shootout where their DSG Audi A3 completed a 100-200 km/h sprint (62-125mph) in a blistering 7.9 seconds. All performance data was measured with a Racelogic V-box Mini.
For reference here are 100-200km/h measurements from other vehicles:
Nissan GT-R: 8.9 sec
BMW M5: 9.4 sec
B7 Audi RS4: 10.9 sec
Stock Porsche 997.1T (Tiptronic): 8.5 sec
Stock VW GTI MK5: 27.0 sec
Other results can be found here: performance table
This car is equipped with the following hardware:
Forged rods
Forged pistons (9.5:1 compression)
S3 cam
Bosch Motorsport 044 in-tank fuel pump
VF-Engineering RSS turbo kit with .86 trim GT2871R
SSP DSG clutch pack upgrade
Custom high pressure GIAC ECU software
7200 RPM GIAC DSG flash
50/50 water methanol injection (98 RON fuel)
The E-51 A3 was the fastest 2.0T tested in the shootout, and if it isn’t a record time for the MK5/8P platform, it should be very close! This custom calibration can be made available for customers who have the above listed supporting hardware. If you have further questions regarding upgrading to this file, please contact me. Full results from the shootout will be published in the near future. So, when I receive more information, I will post it. Congratulations to E-51 for putting together a well built A3!
