Well my friends..sisters..boyfriend has been wanting to run me for awhile now.
I had given in awhile back. We were on a set of toll roads early one morning and they were dead empty. So we had some fun.
Finally getting around to posting it since I found the picture today.
I have installed all the mods on his car, besides the reflash of course.
He has an early '08 FSI 2dr GTI with DSG.
BSH intake.
Forge Twintercooler, paired with S3 intercooler.
APR HPFP
Ebay Downpipe w/ATP clamp
Eurojet cat-back
Revo Stage 2+ flash
DSG flash
BSH mounts
Vs.
'05 e46 M3 6spd.
BimmerWorld Elbow
MS drop in filter
Eisenmann Mid-pipes
AP Headers
RE short shifter
Gintani Tune
We did three runs in total. All highway. Both cars had roughly the same amount of gas and one passenger a piece.
1st. pull was from 40mph. I started off in 2nd. He jumped half a car right away. Within a second I passed him and gained a solid 1.5 cars before I shut down at a 100ish.
Second run was from 60mph. I started in 3rd. Once again he jumped out early. Then reeled him right back in. Id say nearly the same result. 1.5-2 cars max.
We came to a section with a long stretch of straight highway. I told him slow down to 20mph and lets just do one all out run. I started in second got a lot of wheel chirp. Passed him around 60mph and just kept pulling and pulling and pulling.
Friend snapped a picture as I neared redline on 5th gear. Still had some to go before I needed 6th.
I was shocked at how hard to car continued to pull past 100mph. The Gti held in there very well on the lower pulls.
The tune I have on my car is all wrong for the set up im running. Over summer I plan on going with a different tune and airbox set up.
Then I will be looking to challenge my friends TSI k04 gti. Which should be a lot tighter race. With the advantage going to the GTI in the lower range, imo.
I still don't think it will come close to matching the S54's top end.
