• I'll try to keep it short.
  Changed the rad in a friend's A3 TDI jetta today. Went out for a comparison run after. No competition. Every gear, the rabbit pulled futher and further away. And this was from a rolling start (breaking in the kevlar disc) From a dead stop I'd have ruined him.
  
  I figured that with the way this thing runs, the wastegate must be buggered up, feeding the engine high boost. I hooked up a temporary boost gauge, and sure enough... I was wrong! Bang on 10 psi. This car's gonna be insane in the later stages of development...

• What mods do you/he have to the cars?  and what kind of chip did he have?  (Good job btw...i'm not sure how my portly beast would do against an older car).

• not sure what chip he has.
  The rabbit has a stock AAZ engine, 2.5" exhaust, T2 turbo, 10 psi, mild govenor tweak.

• Sounds something like what my friend Chris is doing with his car.  He's got his set up to spike to about 27psi though and I think it holds 22ish  It's a fun little sleeper car.

• I got an AAZ with a T2 too, running at 14lbs peak at 15psi without intercooler.
  
  Cost me alot of tires :shock:
  
  1-2 it's slipping, on wet 1 to 4 it's splipping at WOT.

  A chipped MK3 will run at best a 17.5 in the quarter........... a very easy kill with a rabbit, even if it only has 75hp
