As the title says, who was running the 290+ bhp S3 at GTI Spring Fest yesterday? It's a Garrett GT28 turbo apparently.

I thought they would have been a little quicker down the strip tbh, i know its all driver dependant and reaction, i would have had a go but did not want to blow it with the 360 mile round trip....
i got a 13.56 with a reaction time of 0.5 had a good launch though, held it at about 4250/4500 revs and didnt outright drop it but fed the clutch out quite rapidly (if that makes sense) and got hardly any spin just grip, whenever i just dropped it it seemed to take a while to divert power to the rear just span the fronts for a second, im just glad i didnt fail like that guy in the red diesel cupra stalled and then missed second lol
id much rather have more power than grip
Dunno what my mate is talking about then beating that S3 LOL. He said he spoke to the owner afterwards and the guy said its pushing 297bhp. Sounds like bag of poo IMO lol

Dyno lottery figures IMO.
what times were they producing?Apparently the guy said its a GT28 turbo though. Still puzzles me on how a stage 1 Ibiza Cupra could ever beat it. Sounds like a fib but just wondering if anyone saw this?

lol i took 4 other people down, i would have run like a girl if ihade to tell them they were hitch hiking homeawww u girl i had a 420 mile round trip. as long as you dont completly ragg it. you would have been fine. my missus loved it haha
unless you have a bigger turbo I don't think you will I've been trying for 5 years !i had 5 runs and best i could get was 14.2 just couldnt break the 13 sec. gutted really.... thers always nxt time at gti inters
I've launched at 5k+ but it sounds awful and the wait for the lights to change seems to be forever but you have a turbo upgrade...clutch upgraded yet Pat ?I took mine to last one... quickest i did was 13.7 @110mph... that was launching at about 3,5k....... Def needs to be more as it was bogging down.. I`ll be there next time...
what spec is your engine?
vf34 turbo jabba mani dp miltek injectors, would imagine its a custom map but unsure
i can see how addictive the 1/4 mile really is, my last run i had a poo pants start, i was sure i could get a low 13s time and was sooo tempted to keep running untill i got the perfect launch and perfect reaction time but abusing a daily driver like that for the sake of a few numbers isnt worth it imo
having said that might give it another go at inters lol
I was at the pod on Sunday with my black Ibiza Cupra TDI. Managed to run a 14.200 and was a bit gutted I couldn't get more traction as I felt like there were at least couple of tenths left in it!
There was a guy there with a red S3 which was looking lovely! Chatted to him a couple of times in the queue and he was saying that he had a subaru turbo and serious power. It certainly shifted down the strip. Wasn't you was it Jonny87? Mine is on a standard PD150 turbo but a couple of people were running hybrid PD150 turbos and got a 14.0 and a 13.8. All in all it was a good day out, although it was ****** freezing!

my mates were ripping me because of the one run where you beat me, really shouldnt have told them it was a 200bhp denzel, il never live it down
yes that'd be jonny87 and yes it was freezing....still got podface though!
