So yesterday I'm leaving my college and get on the highway. In front of me is this really annoyying 1.8 turboed passat or jetta (idk vws for ****) he keeps reving his car up while at a red light when four cars back WTF? so i got on the highway behind him. so we get to a straightaway and he floors it. i say **** it and floor my car too. I was bout four cars behind at the begining when we hit it around 45 mph. by the time i was in third gear i was on his rear bumper. needless to say i pulled on him unbelievably hard. mods include custum tune 2.7 60s full exhaust and intake. gonna try to find him at the college cause a buddy of mine knows him and wants me to race one of the other VWs that supposed to be fast. so hopefully ill have a video to post later this week.

 

2.4SS's can take a 1.8T up to about 110. then they just start pullin...stock that is, nice kill on sounds like someone who is a tool

 

this guy at least had a catback and a really annoying BOV. funny thing is that was prolly it lol.

 

Nice kill!! I should have bought sc !!

 

true story, raced one from a 55 in my 2.4 and beat him by 2 cars =)

VWs are slow.....period

 

yea my buddys 05 is moded with 18psi boost an i still pull on him bout .5-1 car an i just have whats in my sig.. sounds good though with exhaust on those lil Vdubs

 

hey mike is that the gray jetta and the kid works at highland park? he trys to race everyone and anything

 

i walked the **** out of a modded one with only a 2.9", 42s, I,E

they're slow as *****. good kill

 

good kill...but I have run into some hella fast VW's

 

they're rare. at least in jersey. most kids with them here only have a fart can, intake and a boost controller = slow as hell.

 

Hating on the VW's! My bud has a GLI (jetta 1.8 T) with exhaust, intake, and chipped to 15-18 psi. His car is pretty quick, but any stage two balt should be able to pull him. I'd say he has around 230-250 to the wheels. Any turbo swap and the 1.8 T has some great potential!

 

i dont think so man.... i used to own a VW and know a litle bit. I was running 18psi an i was no where near that to the wheels an it was an 01... and my buddy's 05 Has a few more mods then your buddys an its an 05 an he dyno'd at only 201 to the wheels......... i think with a K04 swap they could be kinda quick like in the 13's

btw..... im pretty sure 01's to 03 or 04's are 150hp base and the 05's are 180hp base. I know for sure the 05's are 180hp base

an the 01's for sure are 150hp base.. i dont know exactly which year they changed though

 

I had an '02 Jetta with the AWW Engine. It had 180hp stock and ran on .8bar which I believe is 11-12 psi. The 01's had the AWP Engine with only 150hp because they were at .6bar

 

thank you.. i had no clue man.. but what is .8 an .6 bar??

 

Metric boost.

1 bar = about 14.4 psi

 

thanx
