Sammy I could do 0-60 in 6.7 and the 1/4 mile in 14.9 with just a remap, have yet to see what I can do it in with the nos.
As I said a better driver would do better times. I'm no expert.
However that's quick with just a remapped PD150. According to GPS my 0-60 time is 7.8 and 0-100 exactly 19 secs flat all with ESP switched on. Changing up at 4K as my car is realtively low miles and I don't want to thrash it, feeding in clutch rather than side stepping. Of coruse these times weren't on a strip. The Impreza times were done at the Pod and I think their sticky surface is good for at least 1/2 second.
Changing up at 4k is pretty much perfect. Going higher results in slower times (in my tests atleast). And there's not much use side-stepping clutch with TDI. You will end up just spinning the wheels and going nowhere. I start at about 1200rpm and try to lift up the clutch as soon as possible and just being careful with gas on first gear so I get some spin, not too much. Timed 0-60mph 6.8s in my remapped PD130 (was about 170hp) during quarter mile run.
I need to learn how to drive a PD then, I thought there might be some more to come but a second on launch and a couple more upto 100 is a lot to be losing out. Always managed well enough in the Impreza but that was 4K and feed out clutch very fast, if not sidestep for a AWD launch.
edited to add are you folk running ESP on or off?
