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!

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...

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.

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

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.
