Ok well I took my MKV GTI to the drag strip to test and tune to see what advances I've made so far, as far as my time goes to check my improvements.
My car is a 2008 4 door, DSG, with every option, I've added a UM tune (stage 1) and a eBay DP.
First off the stock intercooler is shit and will be replaced soon, heat soak was a bitch. Secondly I improved a half second in the 1/8th mile spinning like hell through most of second.
Anyways for showing up to Test and Tune I got to get in the "Import Showdown" for free. There were about 20 cars, 12 of them Honda's, bid surprise. So long story short, I was running 9.20s-9.50s (which btw would've beaten most of my old shitty Mustangs that I've owned over the years.)
So I outran a Honda Civic mostly stock he was running 10.80s so a easy kill. Next round was a built b16b, with a t3/t4 .60 trim Acura Integra, he was running 9.10s, Luckly I killed him on the tree and cut a .010 reaction time and left him sitting at the line, he doing so I guess he got into his power too soon and spun bad. He only ran a 9.67. So in the semi finals I had the bi round which was good, got into the finals, and faced a purpose built N/A Civic Hatch K20 that had no interior and with the driver only weighed 2200 pounds..... did I mention he had slicks as well? Anyways he ran a 8.36 and smoked my ass in the finals.
I had fun, got to beat up on Honda's, Mini Cooper S, and the Integra. All in all it was a good day.
My fastest time was a 9.27, with a 2.27 60ft and a trap speed of 79mph.
I will definitely get the S3 intercooler soon, they are pretty cheap now, and from there that'll probably do it with this car. If I get ballsier maybe a 75 wet shot of Nitrous. But only after I have another DD.
