06 SS/SC Vs. Turboed Audi TT
On my way home the other night, I got stopped at a red light and I seen a pair of HID's turn in front of me before I could make out what it was, he was gone. So light turns green and I tried to catch up to him and see what it was. Low and behold, it was kinda a race I waiting for, and Audi TT. Well I tried to mess with him to see if hes game and he bites.
First race from about 50 we go and we are about dead even, no one really pulling. His turbo is just screaming.
Second race is from a stop and I tooke him by about a car up until 120 and we cut out
Third was just like the first and had the same outcome, go figure.
So we pull up to the next red light and he asked what it was and my buddy yells to him Cobalt SS. SO he asks what it has and i tell him, and hes like yeah I'm a 4 turboed, which I could tell the whole time with it screaming in my ear. All in all, dude was cool and we went our seperate ways with grins on our faces.

Nice race bud....if the turbo was screaming he might have been chipped...stock the turbo really isnt that loud.....plus the fact that he was right next to you makes me believe that he was definately chipped.

Well i shoulda said the newest. Cuz im just talking about the 06 i dont know about the 05s. But the 06 ive seen some run mid to low 14s stock. and if he worked his turbo then he could be faster.

I dont think he was brand new, but then again im not sure how the model years look any different. But i dont think he was 06, i think maybe 04 or 05.

There would only be 2 reasons his turbocharger would be louder than normal
1. He has a stock turbocharger that is pushing more PSI than normal (more PSI created = Higher RPM Turbo spinning)
2. He has a larger turbocharger than the stock one

most of the time a tuned turbo car will be running more boost.

But if it was "screaming", it was more than likely a new turbocharger cause the stock turbos are typically small and harder to hear.

The stock turbochargers in Audis/VWs are typically small.

It wasnt a quattro since he was spinning the rear wheels. And I didnt make this just to get bashed, I have better sense than that. I tell **** like it is. It wasnt a quattro it was a rear driver and was turboed. Take from that what you will, its still a good kill for the balt. And I faired so well from a dig because of the simple turbo = wait to spool the turbo/ super = instant torque.
