who wants to race?
my friend has a vw gti 5spd with downpipes no cat a exhaust and an aftermarket bov and hes runnin about 20psi...and he wants to race me 1/4 mile do u guys think i could beat him in the ss without any mods?
I can tell you, with my magnaflow, I raced a 1.8t gti with 3 inch turboback, chip, and intake and I had a hard time beating him. He was runing on stock psi too. I beat him by like half a car length. However, if you get the launch, you MIGHT have a chance. But in all honesty, I think he has the faster car.

i raced a 1.8tt (modded of course, dont know specs) on the 1/4 track and i beat him by 1.2 seconds
GTI's are slow MMM K....
Seriously I raced a stock one and blew its doors off, buslengths sounds about right, so if its modded well then he may give oyu a run but minor upgrades arnt going to do anything. I dont know what year the one I raced was, but I even had a passenger and the outcome for him was a shame.

I raced a modded (newer 200x) 1.8T with a loud BOV and exhaust...
He jumped the light and spun the tires in first...
caught him around ~75.... neck and neck by ~90 walked as I went into 4th...
So I would say do it... What Berkley Hieghts? NJ?

i was playin around with my buddy who has a 1999 jetta vr6 it has mild porting 260 cams intake chip and muffler and i was pullin away from him but when we actually starting gettin into it he blew his shift linkage it wouldnt go into 3rd and 5th so that ended that kinda shitty ending ive been wanting to see whos car is faster those vr6 motors go the nuts when a lil works done.. race him see what happens
I doubt that GTi is running 20Psi on stock internals. They run 9Psi out of the factory. How do i know you ask? Easy my buddy owns one. Its a 2002. He says its the worst car hes ever had. It took him about 2G's to get it as a 14 sec car.
Cobalt would kill his car

its going to be a driver's race. and BOV's don't generate power they just help efficiency so don't be afraid of loud noises. and good luck to him running 20 psi, maybe at peak (or with boost spike) but for any duration across the power band he'd be doing serious damage to the internals, can't be good.

technically a bov on a 20v engine ( the 1.8t) will slow the spool up
thats why alot of 20v people run diverter valves
The kid that I raced with the gti with ecu, 3" turbo back, and intake was pretty hard for me to beat. It was all done and tuned by the company Vanity Works I belive. So even though he only had 3 mods, they were all done correctly. When he raced my friends srt4 acr, they were neck and neck. Then he wanted to race me. I was like crap, he's gonig to beat me. But my little ss/sc with exhaust happened to inch away from him
