Check out what I did today

[Jon K]

Woke up at 5:45A to go ahead and prep buds Mk2 GTI VR6 3.0L Turbo for VW Show N Go. We brought my car, a 911, mk2 GTI, and a truck w/ trailer for the "just in case". GTI ran 3 passes, none worth posting since the car just came back with 6 speed, 3.0L block, and more boost so PT is not familiar with driving it yet. It has <100 miles on it. Held up to track use The event is called VW Show N Go though we don't do any showin', just goin'



PT staging


Getting the launch


Best time was 12.7, same as with the 2.8L motor, clearly the issue is drive familiarity and traction in first gear. I think we were running 9 - 10 psi, but the goal on the motor once fully broken in is about 16 psi or about 500hp.



Oh yeah -- before anyone asks about the 911, its actually an '85 with 993 body panels, gutted and caged, but has nice carpet and interior still in place. It's obviously on kenesis 3 pc wheels. 3.3L flat 6 with twin GT30 ball bearing turbos.
