Surprisingly didn't do too badly. I wasn't last, I was middle of the pack for the VWs there, and the most important thing (to me at least) is I didn't hit a single cone or go off course. I did get approached by a few people as to whether it actually was a TDI or not, some were positive I was committing mechanical murder to my block.

Improved my times throughout the course of 8 runs, but my tires and stock sway bar kept me back a little. 5 second spread from slowest to fastest.

That's awesome! I love the smoke rolling out the back. :D


Haha she's a smoky *****. I'd honestly love to get it retuned and try to reduce it a bit but it scoots pretty well as-is. The exhaust temps need to come down though, I've been looking into water-meth to try and help with that
