Hey guys- been MIA I know. Been crazy with work and my business and have had 0 time to post.

Sold the B8.5 S4 about a month ago and leased a new MK7 GTI DSG as the daily. Needed to save some money and fell in love with the little GTI.

Car:
2015 Carbon Steel Gray 2DR, DSG. Lightest way possible, manual seats, no sunroof etc…

Car weighed 3215 with me in it. Full interior minus the spare and tool kit with 1/2 tank of gas.

DA was around +100 all day. 55 degrees.

Got 8 runs in I believe. I’ll post all the slips when I get home.

Car has 500 miles on it.

12.59 was best ET.
113.75 was best trap.
2.19 was best 60’.

Stock DSG software is really holding back the car- tons of torque limitations.

Car is currently GIAC Stage 2, VWR Full Turboback Exhaust, CTS Intake, CTS BOV and 245 Hoosiers up front.

I have CTS Front Mount, CTS crank pulley and BFI Engine/Trans Mounts as well as a dog bone mount all awaiting install. I think with all that and plus DSG flash I’ll be in the 11.8-11.9 range. Car was on MS109 and GIAC 100 file.

I was running the Pbox as well…

I haven’t loaded the data yet but the screen iirc read 4.3 0-60, 9.7 0-100, 13.2 60-130 and 3.7 60-90.

Pete your back. Really enjoyed reading some of your other posts. Great to see you landed in such a great ride. I’ll definitely be checking in to see how this goes down. It will be interesting to see if you can beat the old S4 records with the GTI. I love that you have a car will less then 1000 miles on it and it’s that modded out.

It’s an IHI no longer Borg Warner but it’s similar sized to the K04 in the MK6 R but it’s got a slightly smaller inducer.
