Hopefully thats not supposed to be impressive...
I am not stock, but I had one on the backstretch of a local track here try to get around me, he was a 50 trim, and he couldnt reel me in. Keep in mind most of these TSI are reaching their time to be put out to pasture... I sure know this one was...
I really wanted to look into one as a project car, but after looking at several beat up ones, I decided to move on. Are there fast TSI's out there, holy sht yeah.... But most around here are all hype and suffer from all sorts of issues. I have yet to run into a TSI owner who was happy with how his car was running. Kind of like my old CJ7 ... lol

But, as has been said 15 times now... not everyone takes care of their DSM. Most people don't even know what they are doing... they just throw on a big turbo, plug in an SAFC to add 15% more fuel, and think that's good enough.
Here's mine:
Previous owner was a retard, as well. Which is why I will probably have to rebuild the motor a month after purchasing it.

Haha, you werent at Calabogie Ontario in July last year? Same as the one that was trying to run me down. He had some major valve issues though, and thought it was "Cam lope" retardo for sure as well...
Nice choice of beer and college teams though. I worked in Austin for 3 yrs.

One of only a handful First Gen's that was succesfully converted from a Non-Turbo to a Turbo by me
She needed some more tuning and I was about to get a DSM Link but I decided to sell her (school was too expensive). With a tune and the mods I had I would of ran low 13's. But because of a shitty tune (always hitting fuel cut at the top of 3rd) I barely mustered low 14's
