The Mk7 Golf R stage 1 has been reported to do 0-60 at 3.6 to 3.8 and with a 1 foot roll does 3.4 -3.5 0-60. I wish the Mustang Eco boost could do that with just a tune or even a Mustang GT for that matter. I like the new mustang but it takes some serious $$ to get even a GT to go 0-60 in 3.5.
I have been reading this thread from post #1 and could not believe that there was no mention of water/meth injection.
Why do all the tuners mention the need for lower temp because timing and performance is being lost due to high temps and the first solution is aftermarket I/C when a simple...
I would be interested and would like to know the expected price, performance gains in WHP & torque and 0-60 and 1/4 mile times and trap speed. BTW when will this be ready to purchase?
Please let us know what you think after you have it up and running. I have seen many report good results with the Snow kits and others but to have some added control IMO go with at least a progressive kit. Good luck and hope to hear good things after your installation.
I guess I am not pretty much everybody because I have been spraying water/meth in my 2012 2.0 TSI Mk6 turbo Beetle for 3 years and my throttle body still lives. I also run an APR 100 octane file on 91 octane fuel plus water/meth on one nozzle after the I/C. FWIW stock power is 200 HP and...
You mention that the cold temps seemed to support better performance so why not add a progressive water/meth kit and have lower IAT's all the time? You could install a kit in just a few hours and be the first to show the performance advantage on the ECO Boost. :)
I have seen posts on this forum mentioning that even on a single 1/4 mile run by the end of the run timing is being pull (less power)due to heat and a water/meth kit will reduce IAT's more than any I/C and should stop timing pull due to heat on this engine with or without a tune.
No, you could not be any more correct. IMO it is one of the best mods for any turbo. I have no idea why there are no dynos posted for simple progressive kits for this car. I would guess that a water/meth kit would add at least 20WHP without a tune and even more if tuned for the water/meth. A...
