Just got hold of some new kit that I will be using within the modification articles, to record and log performance figures.

Been testing today and managed to get the following times in my re-mapped 200bhp Golf TDI:

0-60mph: 7.5s

1/4: 15.9s @ 93.4mph

Not bad considering it was wet and it struggled to get any power down in 1st and 2nd, but was what I expected in the conditions. I wont tell you what I got in the Spec C .... thats for the article section in the near future.

Shaun.

dont think you would do much better tbh ,i saw a golf gti tdi 150 modded to 220 bhp with grreat big 19 inch wheels run at pod on a day with good conditions,i.e plenty of grip ,and he couldnt get under 15 seconds .Suffered massive traction problems and had to change gear to many times with too short a power band .
Awesome mid range but thats no good on track

I managed a 15 in my Fabia vRS. 6.3 0-60 i think.

A mapped Seat Cupra 160 TDI will dip into the 14's and midrange will push a new age STI through 3 figure barier once moving. Not bad for what they are!

mg driver,
I think I could quite easily knock some time of those figures I attained today in the wet.

Andy M3,
Those would be the kind of times I would expect in good conditions. Still.... pretty good times achieved in the wet though.

I've seen 14.6 @ 95mph out of a remapped Ibiza Cupra diesel at the pod. Plenty quick enough for a sooty.

What's the torque figures on the golf?
Been umming and arring over whether to do mine.

my remapped golf is 197bhp/292lbs/ft torque

Where do you get a ~200bhp map from? Most of the ones I've looked at quote less than that.

Blow Dog,
196bhp/285lbft on Powerstation's rollers.

NotoriousREV,
It has been live mapped on the road and not just had a tuning box whacked on it. I could of had a little over 200bhp, but didnt want the smoke.

Car has now done 70k miles and hasnt caused me any problems.

Regards,
Shaun.

same as mine, i had a live map done on the road, my golf smokes a bit on full boost but nothing to worry about

NotoriousREV

OK, that's great but WHERE FROM?

rosswalker

Dyno print out from my played with VAG PD. 223.3BHP 370ftlbs.
(now running more boost reckon its pushing 240. Uprated Garrett VNT + Map, injectors, Modded OE FMIC, I/C Hard pipes, K&N. (paddle clutch, Modded DM flywheel)
Simply awesome + 48mpg average

is that really 370lbft or is it nm ?.
Just a stab in the dark but do you have torque steer issues

Shaun's was done by Motorsport Developments.

0-60mph has been reduced down to 7.1sec..... still in damp conditions though (starting to get the launch together). Some more left to go me thinks on a totally dry run.

Regards,
Shaun.

Would starting in second gear help?

I know it's not an ideal comparison, but in one of the first tests in Autocar of the Passat with the PD130 motor, they quoted a 0-60 time starting in second gear, and it was 0.2 seconds QUICKER than starting in first.

It won't help your 60ft time, however
