Its just fresh from a rebuild. Only 300ish miles on it. Need to do an oil change and switch to synthetic oil.
I need a MBC or just cap off the wastegate ref. and let my foot be the boost controller  .

1.6td in my 81 coupe, 2.25 tt exhaust, lots of fuel, and 25-30 psi, and a slipping clutch i did 16.5 the first time i ran it, the next time i ran it i added a cone filter and only had 1/4 tank of fuel, and i did 16.2 this was with a gtech.  which are supposed to be accurate for ets but not for trap speed, i think it said my trap was like 92 haha

Audi 80 1,6td. 10mm pump, gt2359v etc... 15,54/93mph. That was best at real track, best gtech later 15,0. Later with 12mm pump and in mk1 Scirocco, 14,5/103mph at track. FWD sucks at starts, now waiting to get my quattro at track

these numbers are kind of disappointing actually... decently built 16vs can run 14s

Yeah my buddy troy has an 8v that will do a 12.19  109mph. CIS too. He is more of a nut than I am

damn turbo or nitrous?  or is he a crazy crazy na guy

These are not drag racers and fwd sux at starting line => baaaad elapsed times. Itīs trap speed that counts with these vehicles

I have done a couple of run`s with my bmw (E28; 524TD) and also with my VW Golf MK2 with AAZ engine.
On G-Tech run`s i have make 15,1s with both cars for the 1/4 mile, with the BMW i have just done a 15,2s
on last saturday (the trac is straight upwards), with good start a 14,9 should be possible.

The bmw is (except of the engine) stock condition, which means big leather seats, air condition, power steering,
sun roof, central locking, etc..).

The VW has only done a 16,38s on sunday on the same trac, which is nearly no progress to last year results.
I has done a 9,3s on the 1/8 mile (same trac) for 2 month, but have lost top end power by the last pump
modifcation. I will go ahead with a 12mm plunger as next pump evolution and hope to bring back the top end
power, which i have had before. Also the turbo (T03) is in bad condition and need extremly long to spool, i drive
without wastegate actuation, so boost is between 12-14 psi in first and second gear and 22psi on higher gears.

Best Regards

Pretty much all stock stuff internally, but external:
Intercooled, some volvo turbo, and used to do nitrous as well, but since the volvo turbo no nitrous. He also welds the spider gears in the trans solid, has a wicked 4 puck solid clutch, and some drag slicks. Some special suspension stuff to help him corner when not drag racing and some other stuff to help him launch.
The inside is gutted except for a the gauges, wiring, and 2 seats. No carpet or roof. I think it weighs a little less than 1600lbs.

Edit*he could be doing better I believe if he ran more cam. He has the stock GTI grind and all the bigger ones he tried he didn't like. Not because of performance, but around town drivability was poor. With his clutch and welded spiders it is hard to drive in say a drive through. With the bigger less vacuum, tough idle cam it is pretty much a park and walk in car and he doesn't want that. *
