on my way to work tonight i was at a light before the on-ramp to 295 N and he was there also, asked me what my mods were i said bolt on's and tune (everything was bolted on). I asked him for his. he said stage 1 and full exhaust. i have not a clue about vdubs so idk if he was lying or telling the truth. he asked if i wanted to go from a 40 if the highway was empty, i said as long as u honk. he said ok (the whole time im smiling because he wanted a 40 roll lol). highway was clear as far as my eyes could see. we line up. he beeps away. i give him the jump to let his turdbo spool at least. 40-125 i had him by 2˝ cars tops. i shut down and just let it engine brake down to 65 cruise. he pulls up next to me i give him a thumbs up and he gave 2 thumbs up back and yelled "wasnt expecting that haha."

cliff notes:
08-09 gti s1
06lsj (mods below)
40-125 cobalt wins by 2˝

 

those k03s dont really need much of a spool time. Especially on a stg1 or stg2 tune from apr/revo/giac etc...

I had a interesting run with one a long time ago with similar mods as yourself... But it was in the gtis meat of power. If you ever run across one again, try a 20-25 roll... it makes for a completely different run. Their k03s peak quickly and drop torque heavily by 4000-4500 rpm

grab video next time

 

i def will grab a different roll if i ever come across one willing. i never ask to run, i let them approach. will try n graba video, im always riding solo when i run somebody. don't wanna run the risk of hurting an extra passenger god forbid something bad happened. that or there is a camera car.

 

haha back in the day. we did a 20roll and he had dsg so he comes out the hole a lot faster.
YouTube - ‪Cobalt SS/SC VS 2.0 GTI‬‏

 

what was done to yours and that gtis in the vid @ the time?

 

as far as i can remember i had 2.8, 60's,he,cai,dp,1 step colder plugs, 2.5" catback,short throw shifter, and hp tuned. i had a stock header as well.

i forgot what tune the gti was running but he had dp,catback,tune,dsg,cai,cp,stock ic.

we did a 40roll after and his feeling really got hurt.

 

I ran my buddies when i was bone stock.. About dead even.. He had stg1, i honestly like the old vr6, my buddy has a 600+whp carrado.. stUpid fast lol

 

i love corrados! i have a friend that has one at 400whp on Drs daily.....nasty.

 

Yea my roomates have identical 2010 gtis..One is Stage II the other Stage 1, STAGE 2, creeps away from me slowly, stage 1 i havent really raced, i assuming we'd be dead even since i stock.

 

ya no doubt i was pulled slowly by a stage 1 gti i was stock wish i could find him again now that i have a stage 2

 

nice kill

 

did your car stutter a little at 9 seconds?

 

i dont wanna thread jack but DrBALT is that your exhaust letting off that wierd misfire in the begining of the race? cause that best describes my misfire/backfire i got since installing the 1 step colder pugs. on a lnf tho do you have some sort of WOT box?

GOOD KILL on the Vdub both you guys

 

^ I heard the same thing

 

yea i had a misfire problem but i fixed it a few days later.

 

What was your fix? My SS started doing that same thing once i put in the 1 step colder plugs but for the lnf, only under load like in this video of yours so on the daily drive its fine.

 

What did you gap them to?

 

imo .32 gap is the sweet spot for lsj's. no knock no nothin

 

i just took the spark plugs out and regaped them.

 

For teh LNF if youre running the NGK 3787s leave them at the gap they come out of the box which is .32

 

Doh! mine came gapped at .33 but i can definatly fix that Thx BartSS.

 

i measured them all when i got the from MPx they were gapped @ .33
im going to change them to .32 tonight maybe lower if necessary.

 

with your mods i cant see .33 to .32 making any difference. 22psi i assume is what your spiking at on gms1. im not even gonna comment anymore actually. i dont know dick about turbos... my friends k20 is gapped at .22 running 15psi

 

^ completely different motor though

 

so did the guy that thread jacked me every figure out his issue? lol im actually curious no b.s.
