How do you plan on going from 18.3 to low 17s?

Years ago when my Rabbit was a heavy (2250'ish lb) street machine and with 14psi but with the stock revv limiter, I ran a best 1/4mi time in the low 17's, but I remember thinking that I'd have been in the high 16's if I was able to take a pass without the pop-off valve opening.

My friend 1997 Jetta 1.9TD

14psi

no smoke whatsoever
pretty much everything in Smog's DIY (Actualy, Smog did the settings)

16.72

Quick fact: 7 year experience in drag racing street cars.

Around 10 years ago we had a 1.6TD IDI Golf hammering well below 15 sec quarter mile times.
According to a self employed turbo shop prefessional (who had a peek under the hood) said it had a Garrett T03, 0,48AR turbine with 45trim compressor charger installed. Such charger can be found in a Saab 900 turbo from very late 1980's.

i went out last night and my last run was 18.12@75mph

that was running 15 psi
no i/c(which is coming in soon)
pretty much stock pump...just turned up the fuel
crappy all season tires
and it was also my first time out racing. the rest of the times were around 18.4
this is in a mk1 1.6 TD rabbit with no seats in it

I ran my Caddy last weekend and the best I could get was a 18.28 @ 72.13 MPH.
I was the quickest 4 cylinder diesel there, ( because I was the only one).

10 lbs. boost
35 shot of nitrous
Gov mod
Advance Mod
No IC
2" straight-pipe exhaust
B-100 Home-Brewed Biodiesel

I've got down to a 16.07 @86 with my 760 volvo with D24t.  I broke the rear end before I could get into the 15s... It was getting faster each pass as I got the launch better, but I was having problems spinning just one tire if I launched too hard.  I've got a locking diff now so I should be able to get into the 15s since I'll finnally be able to get off the line. 

Not bad for a car that weighs over 3000lbs
