Terrible launch with the Turbo X and you are losing about a half second between shifts! Bad driving,, Otherwise Turbo X would have eaten that GTI every round..

@EDOUBLE1212 Obviously you don't have one of these cars or you would understand the horrible tuning put in place by GM that causes a huge throttle delay.

i see...what r u using to tune the TX?

i'm looking at a BSR but unsure about the boost the AFR.

14.2 fast? hmm...i missed my wrexy.

[imprezatt]

pretty fast for a car that runs mid-high 15's stock with a downpipe and a reflash.

I managed a 14.28 last friday before my IC piping blew off.

I am using HP Tuners, specifically vtuner's stage0 flash, modified a bit.

how on earth do you get beaten by a gti golf??

[imprezatt]

I was messing with my tune all night and it wasn't running 100% to par, not to mention, it's the first time I raced this car.

Also, that GTI is fast! 14.2's all night long, with just a downpipe and reflash.

That second run looked great... Great launch and tidy shifting! I have a Viggen that I'm still working on, but I'll be joining the Turbo-X club one day down the track :-)

@imprezatt true, the shifting on this car is horrible and getting a strong launch is more luck than skill, still love my Turbo X though!

[volcomstone2262]

Just work on those shift points and launch.

The GTI was prob a lot more tuned than the TurboX

[TnbRipper]

2nd race was nice as hell

[maverick223]

@imprezatt was it a DSG GTI?

[maverick223]

The FWD aeros are slightly faster since they got less weight. man i wish mine sounded like yours!

[mannysteiner]

smoked by a crap VW Rabbit. See I love Saabs but they just stink even with tuning.
