kid had a 1.8t vw with exhaust chip and intake.. we raced form about 35-90 2 times and i had him by about 6cars @90.. we chatted after the race and he was very impressed.. "a sleeper" as he told me. when he first heard me blow off way before we raced he thought i was a eclipse...lol gotta love the bov

Nice work. 5 valve 1.8t's can make good power. Good thing VW's have gotten way to fat, else they would be tough to take down.

BTW Damn 6 car lengths? thats some smackdown.

Hey bart have you done anything else to your car since we last saw you or is it still boosting about 11-12psi with a T25 along with all the other stuff you have.

bartc_jdate not saved · #4

well its actualy closer to 14psi... but other then that its the same

how's your fuel I remember you saying it was starting to get a little lean for your taste at 11-12ish.

I'm trying to get my sensor out now. My new exhaust gets in the way Did you get it from the the top or bottom did you use a racheting wrench or something else?
