My automatics first trip to the track

90tsiawd · 08-20-2004, 10:53 PM

I have had this car (91 tsi FWD auto) for over a year now and finaly desided to take it to the track.
Its my daily driver.
Car is full weight with a/c , sunroof and all.
mods are:
14b, 2.5in turbo back, MBC at 16lbs and a K&N. That all.
Made three passes with a best of 13.8 @ 99 mph.
not to bad for a near stock automatic.

Yes i hold down the brake real hard and build up the rpms to around 2600-2700 prms then when the light goes green let off the brake then floor it. This was my first time racing this car so i know i could do better just the way it is with a little practice. But its not my race car. I dont know how much boost i am building at the line i dont have a boost gauge in it. I hooked up one temporarily just to set the MDC to 16lbs then took it out.

13.8 is a really quick time for the mods u have

The setup u have now is really simuliar to the setup I'll have in 2 weeks I wounder if I'll do as good as you.
