yea....you read the title.
im not sure whats going on here, but my 95 TSi isnt that much faster then my buddies 96 ESI. its kind of sad, my car has a home made boost controller and it goes to about 12.5 psi because I got the 2gbov so it leaks. The car also had magnacore wires on it when I bought it.
his car is completely stock.
now im not sure what a ESI runs in the 1/4 but im going to guess at least 2 seconds slower then my car, so I SHOULD walk all over him, but I dont. if were from a dig and I get a really good launch ill take off on him, but if im in 2nd or anything from a roll (2nd is a good gear) I hardly pull on him at all. I know I got awd so it sucks at a roll but cmon now, how is this ESI keeping up with my car? even from a dig he isnt that far back.
If im in a serious launch I generally do 5k-5.5k rev then go, and the car about stalls, which from what I used to read on here a while ago it shouldnt.
Couple of things I might do is get some new plugs, try and get a new filter (but not sure which k&n setup or whatever I should get because theres a million of them so if you know what can bolt right inplace of that airbox let me know) probly need a new fuel filter, not sure about the fuel pump. for some reason my gas peddal has some play in it, like you can push it in a little bit before it gets touchy, where-as his esi you barely touch it and its revving up.
Also a possibility my turbo is going bad, sometimes when I start my car and go it like jolts with power, like its trying to boost but cant. Could just be because the car isnt warmed up yet though.
And besides all this my car just feels fricken slow, so I doubt the possibility his esi had internals or something is true. I need to run at the track and see exactly what I can do. Also its not driver error because we switched cars and the same result occured.
Help me please!

) but it helped lauching and power delivery as I didnt nose up on accel, and the car rotates alot better now as well. 
so he evened them out to around 25psi.
