Yesterday I raced my buddy with a GTI 1.8T anniversary edition chipped and had a cold air intake he beat me by a car length in my 01 CL S with only a comptech intake felt like crap losing to a GTI......

 

Get headers :P

 

Welcome to the forum. Maybe you should check to see if your IMRC is working properly.

 

I (sort of) raced a friends Jetta GLI and I actually thought he was going to be able to take me and he's an AT. I really wasn't expecting that car to be so strong.


Yeah, welcome to AZ!

 

Hey it happens to most everyone and like juruki said "get headers"

 

If it makes you feel any better, a stock 5MT GTI 1.8T is about as quick as a stock CL-S 5AT. Don't feel too bad since he's chipped...

 

Welcome to the forum !!

This really should be in the Street Encounters forum ( https://acurazine.com/forums/a-11/ ), but seeing it's your first post, I'll go easy on you

 

Once they are chipped they can produce lots of power and keep in mind that car is half the weight of a CL..

 

Headers would help. But there is a big difference in weight. I think it will still be close.

 

SUPERCHARGE dat bitch! i bet that was a fun run. any pics or vids of the cars?

 

It's gotta be driver error.... Get a heavier foot man!

 

if you lost by 1 car, headers should put you in front.

 

You smoke some good shit mate!

It weights 2934lbs, which is only 400lbs less than a CL. click for source

 

my friend had the same car with the same setup plus the downpipe and at the time i only had the icebox and we used to go to the track all the time and race eachother it was close at the start but as the speed increased i used to walk away from him everytime and i used to always beat him from a roll, but off the line that car was pretty quick. he used to always run 15@92-3mph i used to run 14.8-15 but i always traped 2-3 mph faster than he did.

 

Definitely check the IMRC you should waste the krautburner chipped or not.

When I bought my CLs Certified from the stealership the IMRC was not working. I had the intake and injectors cleaned and it made a big difference.

I have yet to hear of chips making any real world difference in naturally aspirated cars. Unless it raises the boost I believe it would do little for the blown VW also.

 

nice one. all we need is for there to be a bean burner.

 

i dont kno why people dont kno that............chips make a difference.....my friend has an 03 gti with a top of the line chip.$$ shit makes 0 - 60 time wayyy faster....

 

yeah those chips do wonders for any 1.8t...apr or giac i believe..not sure of exact numbers but i'm pretty sure it's a sizeable gain
