****** hell the 4 wheel drive really saps the top end power from the audis. That Leon seem to pull hard all the way. Nice video. Good find mate
 
Anyone know how too get the boost pressure displayed instead of what's on the radio?

It's normal on 4wd cars,I've read roughly that there's roughly 17% powerloss through the 4wd transmission and roughly 12% on 2wd, so a a 2wd car and a 4wd car with the same power the 2wd will have more power to the wheels.
 
What this video tells me is the 2014 LCR is quicker than Audi's, like I give a damn! The main thing here is, the 8L is quicker than the 8P and the RS3!! :jump:

I think you'll find that power loss though drivetrain is closer to 30% on 4wd cars and 15% for 2wd... There or there abouts anyway, but either way it's roughly double on 4wd cars!

Tbh I thought it was 25% 4wd and 17% 2wd,wrong either way though lol.
 
Will the haldex be engaged at motorway speeds though? Thought on a standard controller it only engaged when detecting slip (wheel speed differences)?
 
I dont think its an issue with drive through the haldex system, look at the extra weight it'll also bring with it, in a drag race the Audi's are all at a disadvantage because of the weight the awd brings.
And yes the 8L does well but as pointed at in the video its had a turbo, guessing theres a set of rods in there as well as probably a FMIC and a decent remap...
