Posting this info for Gabe who isn't really on this site much.
This was done during time trials early in the day on Sunday, even before I arrived at the track. Car is a 2G TSi AWD running a Holset HY35 and Turbonetics T3 manifold with zero weight reduction aside from no spare tire and no a/c. Still has all of the interior, back seat, power steering, and is still driven on the street quite often. Gabe borrowed the slicks from Talondave's car in order to improve his 60ft times a bit and it paid off.
Gabe enjoys doing stuff that many others wouldn't consider- his goal here is to go as fast as possible with a car that is also as close to stock-appearing as possible. Car was running on pump 93; no meth injection. It had a stripped wastegate mounting bolt which was allowing a huge exhaust leak at the base, and boost to drop from a spike of around 33 to 26-27psi by redline logging just 52-53 lb/min of peak airflow as a result. Much later in the day Gabe also found out that he forgot to enable no-lift-to-shift even though he was shifting the car as if it were enabled. The result was a few missed shifts in later passes- one of which caused him to lose in the very first round of Bracket 1 competition. His best MPH still remains 133.9 which was done when the car was able to hold higher boost to redline.

^ That number ties the second-best HX35 pass ever, and this was done with a turbo that has a smaller turbine wheel and housing than the equal-timed HX35. Big congratulations to Gabe for raising the bar once again on this turbo....hopefully he'll get a few more passes in before a scheduled partout over the winter.
Honorable mention goes to talon1990TSi for going 11.51 @ 119 at the Shootout using a BEP T3 HX35 at 25psi and tuning with an AFC & MAF Translator. Zero timing adjustment ability or launch control and STILL ran an amazing time.
