Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • MK4 or MK5 down the 1/4

    a very general question - how do all our chipped MK4's compare to a standard MK5 down the 1/4 mile. Im sure they would be side by side.

      Well a Chipped mk5 did 13.7 with a TB CAI, I think that a chipped mk4 would be about low 15s high 14s.

        It was DSG too which helps.

        Chipped MK4 would do a high 14 at best.

            What about R32s? I still haven't taken mine to the track, should happen next sunday. I heard that stock R32 should do low 14s. Is that right?

                  haha I wish. In theory yes it probably could with a great driver.

                  I'm not a great drag racer and don't have much inspiration to go fast for 400m.

                  I went a while ago and only got 14.6. I just couldn't get traction in 1st or 2nd. 2.6 60 footers suck. The drags is all about the start not how fast your going hence the advantage of DSG.

                  I might have another go once Seb has given it an injection.

                    well my conclusion is a chipped MK4 will be doing about 15 flat & MK5 (not chipped) would be on 14.8-15.

                      I recon high 12's should be about the mark.

                        I got 14.3 and it was pretty damn hot too, mid 30s on-track. So if it was cooler and I had a bit more practice, possibly high 13s
