Thanks. The times are definitely getting quicker as there are more development on this platform. A few stage 3 Golf Rs are already approaching the 10sec mark.Impressive. Imagine the times with hybrid turbo and stage 3 map.

Thanks Alex. We ran this exact setup (105 fuel) on the dyno, everything is actually still within safe limits, ignition timing, afr, egt, etc. No knock throughout the rev range. The key here is water methanol injection. It really does magic in keeping the heat down.
On the point of this setup being used only for short runs. Well, it's a yes and no. Yes, we wouldn't run this 105wmi file for circuit racing or street driving but only because the high cost of 105 fuel making it unrealistic for such purposes. But we have tested a regular stage 2 WMI 98RON file, the car was able to pull back to back 11.7 second 1/4 mile times, on the same street tyres (yokohama advan sport). So it proves that, with the right tune and hardware you can have a daily driving sub-12 second stock turbo S3 (or Golf R for that matter).
IIRC, A Golf R in the UK with GTX3071R ran a 11.0 just recently. Your stage 4 should be in the 10s quite easily.Or.....a GTX30 and Stg4. LOL
Point is,I think it's great that people do this sort of thing,but everyone outside of the drag strip has to understand that the setup being used there is purely aimed at short runs.
Or the 30 minutes if I snap a driveshaft..... LOLIIRC, A Golf R in the UK with GTX3071R ran a 11.0 just recently. Your stage 4 should be in the 10s quite easily.
I totally agree re WMI.....I had this on my old Escort,and now,on the S3,I have to say I'm completely behind using it,and I think what you've achieved there is probably the ultimate for a K04 car.
I probably missed it,but what sort of power is the car making on 98 and 105RON?
Cheers. I believe there might be another 10th somewhere with a little more tweaking of boost and timing, even the suspension and tyre setup can be fine tuned further. The 11.5 run was with almost 3 degree negative camber on the rear.

That would certainly help on the track but not so much for the drag strip. Negative camber is a definite no-no for drag racing.I'm running 3 degrees on the rear and 2.5 on the front.
I can picture that!That would certainly help on the track but not so much for the drag strip. Negative camber is a definite no-no for drag racing.
Well done! Is the car S-Tronic or manual?Just came home from santa pod best time 13.05 with 106 mph for stage 1 would say im pleased
Impressive. I had a bit more mods than that at stage 1. Definitely do the dsg map and take it back to the strip.My only mods at the mo r forge twinair intake ( modded the second canister to take the air from fog light area to get rid of darth vadar sound ) + decat + GFB DV+ + AMD map, so pleased with 13.05
Be aware that twintake is actually not working very well on S3s. It gives 10-12% LTFT so that means you leaving bhp on the table.
thx 4 info, i believe u 2 know ur stuff when i bought the intake i didn't plan to go too far with mod's , now after catching the damn bug, i'll look into changing it, but i must say looks wise i do prefer forge

I think it all depends on how far we want to take our cars, i take my hat off to wot u done to your beast of a car, but i will never push mine so far, every time i drive my car it makes me smile so that wot matters to me, thx 4 advice, hope that on dyno i will prove that twintake is ok it might not be the best, but it works 4 me
My twintake is running 7% LTFT checked it yesterday!Be aware that twintake is actually not working very well on S3s. It gives 10-12% LTFT so that means you leaving bhp on the table.
I spoke to Ecotune in Glasgow, a very well respected company up here... They run a 420hp Golf R and its their belief that the VW racing intake is best... They said they have tried a few, but i'll take that with a pinch of salt as theres something along the lines that apr are sponsored by vw racing nowadays or something... I read that somewhere
The thing is that the major restriction in the intake is at the level of the MAF.
That's a fixed diameter,and no matter how wide the pipework before or after it,the maximum airflow is determined by that restriction.
Smooth flow is paramount to getting the maximum through that,as turbulent airflow results in lower flow,and if you require two air filters to optimise flow,I would suggest that the answer is a bigger,better single filter.
The ITG,AMD,and Revo all seem to fit that bill,and the ITG manages well on my car.....it isn't a good looking piece of gear,but it has a certain functional appeal....LOL,but you can see my point about the narrowest area of the intake system on this pic.
That intake manifold is looking very nice Alex, which reminds me to go back and finish reading your thread (not that it'll ever finish, I hope not), remember I left it at page 30 last time
I've ran a 12.092 at Crail Raceway and that was before I installed the Airtec FMIC, so hopefully be running high 11's now.. I'm still on the Stock K04 Turbo and a respected tuner has told me that this is the fastest Stock Turbo 1/4 Mile S3 in Europe atm. I'm sure the fastest Stock Turbo S3 is in Australia
Well, since you guys are talking about fastest 1/4 times then i'm sure you're going to enjoy the latest S3 from Greece. Owner says it's the fasest 2.0 tfsi in Europe with 10.115 sec.
Well, a combination of quite a few things needs to happen. The short answer is: get to 400hp, reasonable weight reduction, proper suspension and tyre setup, and do plenty of runs to fine tune everything.How do you get such good figures?
well with gtx3071 it's not stock turbo s3.

wow didn't even know it is posible to get 800+ out of these engines...I know it's not stock. It isn't even a gtx3071. This has a gtx3582r. I just thought that you would be interested. In this run it was running 740hp. Now it has a new setup with a precision PT6466 turning out 858hp.
