going to the track soon... what can i expect from this setup?

[JiveMasterT]

i've never been to the track before, but i've been street racing my car since i got it, so im a good driver, even better reaction time, and i dont think it will be hard for me to adapt to the controlled environment of the track.

i have the stock turbo (yes, i know...)
intake, turbo back exhaust, and solid intercooler pipes. what do you think i can expect to run with this setup? i believe the previous owner also pulled out the bcs restrictor, so i think i need a boost controller. my boost is usually at 15psi, but has gone as high as 17.

so, what can i expect to run with this set up?

edit...
also forgot to mention that i have yokohama avids... i dont know what kind of tires those are and if they will be any good for the track. on the street they work fine though.

Low 14s is my best guess.

oh man, that would be nice. im hoping for mid 14s but if i can break 14.5 that would be nice!

my friend has a all stock 95 talon tsi with 140k miles on it and he runs 14.5 flat all bone stock and hes 16 without a license so u can do low 14's with good driving

It is not ALL sock if he is doing a 14.5 flat. Our car come about 15.2ish... even good driving cant make up .7

The track and street are WAY different... You should be mid 14's with out a problem. Keep us updated. The hardest part is going to be launching that is the hardest part to adapt to.

I am awd... you think im going to have traction problems? if so, that would look badass, but definately wouldnt be good for my ets.

umm well im sorry to say it is all stock with a .500 reaction time on average he is running 14.5 every week completely stock unless you count a air filter...and thats it ...sooo if your runnin a 15.2 than your doing something wrong because factory specs on your car and car and driver rates AWD at 14.5 and FWD at 15.1 at best soo....i dunno but it is stock..and according to your profile your FWD and yes AWD compared to fwd is .7

 

[CanadianTSi]

14.5 sounds about right...anything lower then that and I would be quite pleased.

Reaction time does not affect your 1/4 mile time... that is just what it is called reaction time. So if my R/t was 1.5 and I ran a 14 flat does that mean if I pulled a .500 R/t time I would run a 13 flat?

If only it worked that way

Tell me about it, some people dont even undersand the time slip they get ...

 

[ohio98eclipse]

nahh im just pointin out hes a better driver if you cant hit 14.5 in a gsx or tsi awd thats all

 

[BGRIPTP]

Ya, I have the video of my freind (same one Toms talking about) running 14.5, he ran 14.5xx 4 times and a 14.8xx (with me in it, clutch stuck to floor for some reason, we think air pocket)

Heres his timeslip: http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/3/web/363000-363999/363020_65_full.jpg

Hey guys, I am the guy with the 1996 TSi AWD Ohio98Eclipse is talking about!
I have 115,000 not 140 Tom . Only airfilter and ACT2100 clutch and I run 14.5! people say its cuz i only weigh 123 lbs. mayb thats y. But Ben has my time slip under his post.

Any Question aim me impinQ786

 

[96TurboAWD]

LoL 14.5 like 4 times I wish I could drop it. I ran a 14.5 at 80mph cuz my clutch went to the floor. That run would have been a 14.3. ussually i run 14.5 at 95. So Once clutch is back in order I will run mid low 14

Thats not considered stock then.

Still respectable nontheless..

Thats what i love about these cars. You put in a clutch, boost controller and intake and you hit 13.9's all day long.

free mods and a clutch are your best friend
