Post Your Quarter Mile Times!

Because of the DSG and warranty I have opted for a piggy back. In fact I have 'detuned' (through its PC interface) the piggyback to the developers more modest recommended boost and fuel trim settings because as quoted by the tester in South Africa and he is talking about the 2015 Polo GTI DSG "The majority of users including us have had concerns in regard to the strength of the transmission. The torque can be increased by quite a bit but until we know for certain that its going to last in that spec we keeping things relatively conservative. We do know flashed cars that are running very high torque levels and are keeping our ears open to see how long they going to last."

Over $1000 cheaper than the APR tune, I'm very happy with it and there is absolutely no way it leaves any logs or anything else in the ecu if something does go wrong. Most importantly it gives the drivechain/DSG all the extra power it is probably capable of handling.

Cheers DAL344, we are thinking alike.

Be interested in what tuning box you had tested on your car and not sure if you still have it fitted? You can message me if you prefer.

Failed, but only just, hoped to get to 6.0 or less. Probably my poor driving, way too much wheelspin and forgot to let the front tyres down a bit. 2 tries only, happy with the improvement.

As I have stated before the JB1 is set to the modest recommended fuel and boost trim levels to help preserve the DSG/clutches. I rarely do WOT and/or go over 4,000rpm so I might play around with the boost settings in map 6 (for those familiar with the JB1) to get some extra torque in the lower rev range.

So I took my 6R GTI to the drags for the first time last night here in Perth. Temperature wise it definitely wasn't the smartest idea, as Perth's in the middle of a mini heatwave at the moment, and so track-side temperatures even at night were around 38 degrees. We had a VW club night though so was a third the price of normal entry.

Anyway, I done some quick searching and couldn't find much info in terms of other people's times so thought it would be great to have a bit of a registry setup for members new & old as well as well it showing up for Google searches etc. Probably worth mentioning time, temperature/conditions and Model/Engine Type as we now share this board with the 6C cars.

We can maybe request people verify their times with a photo of the printout sheet? (if so I'll edit my post to attach mine).
I'll get things started!

2013 Polo 6R GTI
Track Temp: 37.8 degrees
Time: 13.827 seconds

Is the car stock?

LOL, no. (See my signature)

There was another Polo GTI 6R which was stock as a rock and getting 15.2's.

Phew!!!

I did 8 runs last night and my best time was 15.08.
I put my car back to stock so I could measure times as I modify.
I will reinstall stage 1 next week and post my times then.

Yeah 15.08 sounds about right for stock. Our runs were in the middle of a Perth heatwave with 40 degree ambient temps at the track.

I'll hit it again before the season closes on a cool crisp night. Should take a good 0.3 or off so at least.

Ah... plus yours is a 6C, so we're comparing two completely different cars.

Im heading back there next week. This time the car has APR S1 tune, HP DSG tune and Milltek catback. Hopefully it will be quicker than stock [emoji12]
I made a 0-100 vid below, not the most accurate way to measure using the inbuilt lap timer but sure feels quicker

I got 6.4 seconds stock, not bad considering vw quote 6.7 seconds. It's a 2016 GTI manual though.

You're in 3rd by 100 nearly into 4th. Huge difference with the manual version. I'm changing second at 60kmh and 105kmh 3rd. I'll try post a video of the difference tonight.

That was my first attempt.
I actually had to squeeze the throttle very lightly in first just to get traction. It has way too much torque.
I think the big difference will be in the quarter mile time.

Drive the manual and then come back to me about having too much torque It seriously needs wider tyres. Anyone had success in getting 225's to fit?

The width obviously plays a big part but I'm running 205's and get pretty good grip for the size I think. More times then not a higher quality skinner tyre will out perform a wider, less quality rubber and tread pattern. Bare in mind this is an earlier model GTI Polo (9n3) but with a bit of throttle control and slowish changes in 1st and 2nd I can manage some decent 0-100 times
