RE: santa pod, DT vs. TDI - Ricky - 08-01-2013
Mines currently at 16psi and not at full throttle (stop screw wound in a few turns) and its, well slow. I need to get out there and tune it properly and see what it can do

This could be quite bad at Santa Pod

Tbf I don't know anything about Santa pod except that its a race track haha....
RE: santa pod, DT vs. TDI - strictly_perv - 08-01-2013

Santa Pod is a drag strip, kinda straight...
RE: santa pod, DT vs. TDI - Piggy - 09-01-2013
ask them to pop a chicane in for you....defo win then!!! haha!
RE: santa pod, DT vs. TDI - C.A.R. - 09-01-2013
Can you not put loads of ice cubes on the top mount before taking your run? I'm sure I've seen that done before on Impreza's!
RE: santa pod, DT vs. TDI - Ricky - 09-01-2013
It depends how soon before I do the run that I can put them on, too early then they will melt and probably make the heatsoak worse.

Yeah but too late and you won't get the full cooling effect haha. Have to have a good guess
RE: santa pod, DT vs. TDI - Piggy - 09-01-2013
dry ice ftw
RE: santa pod, DT vs. TDI - Poodle - 09-01-2013
Ice on the tmic would work, as would a spray as suggested by the rev.
Tbh i think it'll be a close-run thing, VNT means he's got a massive area under the curve, whereas the dt's power band will be more peaky. That difference will also make it harder for you to get the power down in the first three gears. Am i right in thinking cupra's came with traction control and lsd...? Or did they not do a diesel cupra for this gen...? Can't remember, either way he's going to find it a lot easier to get the power down.
That's all marginal really though, as others have already said - the rest is going to come down to how well you can drive your respective cars.

This is an absolutely amazing idea and if you were on the road or a track day id say do it.
However is santa pod see the water dripping under our car from melting ice they wont let you run. The surface at santa pod is not tarmac and once wet becomes like an ice rink.
RE: santa pod, DT vs. TDI - Ricky - 09-01-2013
Judging by my speedo video, I don't think I stand a chance. This is part 2nd, mainly 3rd, at around 17psi. And only bout 40 to 60 as there was a car in the way..

RE: santa pod, DT vs. TDI - 4WayDiablo - 09-01-2013
i think we need a more balls out no excuses video t ocompare better tbh
RE: santa pod, DT vs. TDI - Ricky - 09-01-2013
From speaking to him today, I am 90% sure he's going to pull out anyway!
RE: santa pod, DT vs. TDI - Toms306 - 09-01-2013
Pfft tell him to man the f*ck up, I'd race you in my golf.
Well, if it wasn't in a million pieces now anyway.
But seriously, I wanna know the result of this!
RE: santa pod, DT vs. TDI - Ricky - 09-01-2013
The main reason he will pull out, is because he's scared of losing. Couple of people at work have put money on me winning! So he's getting worried.
Another person I wanted to race is my dad with his BMW 320d coupe, he thinks it's the fastest and best looking car in the world, but at 150hp and over 1300kg he wouldn't stand much chance i don't think.. But again he wont do it because he's scared of losing to a 15 year old rattly diesel..
RE: santa pod, DT vs. TDI - Toms306 - 09-01-2013
Scared of losing? What's the point playing then? Someone has to lose for another to win....obviously. Can't stand people that are all talk like that.... It's not like you'd be playing for pink slips lol.
RE: santa pod, DT vs. TDI - 4WayDiablo - 09-01-2013
make up some bull about other people betting on him
big his ego up a bit, maybe say your best estimate is about 140 or something
you gotta get him to do it anyway!

this pretty much sums up all that is great about boosted xud ownership. people know its quick but never sure just how quick or how worried they should be when you pull up alongside at traffic lights

its awesome when they look at it all smug had some guy in a mk4 golf gti look the car over, see the dturbo badge then chuckle to himself, i bet he wasnt chuckling when i was pulling away nicely! lol
RE: santa pod, DT vs. TDI - ozonehostile - 10-01-2013
i like seeing all the confidence instantly disappear from blokes faces as soon as they here my turbo spool and are left choking on the coal left behind

I keep playing it down, I do believe he will win, and I keep telling him that, but then everyone else keeps winding him up lol.

RE: santa pod, DT vs. TDI - the milkman - 10-01-2013
Way I see it ricky is get the fuel/boost up get it on the rollers aand give us abit more to go off
RE: santa pod, DT vs. TDI - Dum-Dum - 10-01-2013
I have the same issue with people at work, keep talking about organising a track day for ourselves but I think they're scared I'll ra*e then once my new turbo is on.

Can't get it dyno'd as I have no rev counter.
RE: santa pod, DT vs. TDI - DaveW - 10-01-2013
Water spray on the intercooler? or buy an old bonnet and hack a hole into it for the run?
RE: santa pod, DT vs. TDI - Ricky - 10-01-2013
Or run with no bonnet!? Be awesome, always wanted to try a car with no bonnet!
RE: santa pod, DT vs. TDI - DaveW - 10-01-2013
Ha that could be a plan...
