As far as tuning goes, from my years of experience, there is one main reason people don't tune $$$$. Not to say that is a good reason, but it is.

thats the whole problem with his situation though... he went racing with an untuned car. If you dont have the $$ to tune the car, then don't go and race it yet. Simple concept. Gotta pay to play

Now back onto NED schedule... I think I am going to go up there sometime next week. maybe Wed night. Get kicked out

i was going to get tunned at DSG but i heard their dyno is under-rated and there for they are undertunning people, plus they are charging $500 for a tune, i have heard there are more aggresive tunes out there. from PDX and ECS tunning in sprigfield, ma. Any suggestions on where to get a tune. where they will tune for power not efficiency.

thats what i was trying to get at. a sense of mind is better than running with no racegas and blowing my motor. i know it does not add power. I just wanted to run safer at high boost. i boost higher on the track with out adjusting anything than i do driving on the street. My catless downpipe and no cats, and 3 inch exhaust with the QTP exhaust cut out makes me overboost.

so what if it reads low... a dyno is a tuning tool, not something that gives you bigger *****.
DSG read low on my dyno runs...

like I said, just giving you sound advise. dont go race on higher boost without a tune. I have seen built motors in much better designed cars
blow from not tuning it.

I should be up for going next week as well. OT but one of my good friends ran a couple 10.3's at Import Wars on his TSi AWD w/ HTA-35R...one was at 117MPH (let off in 4th) That turbo seems to be nothing short of awesome!

Dude...tune you f**cking car. Or sell it to get something easier/cheaper to mod and TUNE if you re going to run it at the track. Key word 'BUDGET'. Throwing in race gas and thinking you have done something is pathetic. Even to compensate for higher boost. Two words boost controller. In your case will work better then race gas

And there is no excuse as to why you could not use DSG to tune your car. Have you seen anything they support? Look at the cars they have built, and maintain for themselves and their customers. Did you see the white Evo at X-Games...apparently not. Lots of happy people with amazing setups and results. And who cares if the dyno reads low. If your tune is done right and done accurately, which they are more then capable of achieving, it doesn't matter what the # says on that dyno. All you will have to do is take yourself to a dyno that reads higher after the tune if thats is what your main objective is. Just getting higher #'s on a sheet for bragging rights

"My catless downpipe and no cats, and 3 inch exhaust with the QTP exhaust cut out makes me overboost." ...HELLO AGAIN...boost controller...??? You can find them cheap. I can not find any excuse as to why you do not have a boost controller yet. You have spent the $$ on a full turbo back exhaust. And other misc items. And you wouldn't "overboost" with a properly dialed in tune. You really need to start reading/searching from here on out as to the proper way to add parts to your car for optimal results. Just because it bolts on doesn't mean you are bettering yourself or the performance of your car.

I think the majority here is growing tired here with explaining things to you.

If this post said "13.7 @102" and nothing else....all of this posting and nonsense could have been prevented. Nuff said.

Our best run was 10.3 @ 138 (trap speed record for the car) with a crappy launch and short shifting at 7500rpms. But the most impressive "record" was made earlier, when I ran 111mph in the 1/8th mile. That beats car's previous best 1/8 mile trap by 2 mph!!!

$500 is a good price for a tune done on a dyno. DSG's tunes are great and your car is pretty close to being stock. They will have no issues tuning your basic car.

I will be at the track on Wed or Fri not sure yet!

TurboTc if you see a Red RS with carbon hood, wing and black wheels at NED I am an A$$.
