I don't by any means condone street drag racing or anything but....... I did give a mate from work a run for his money in his vx Calais supercharged v6 complete with yella Terra pulley kit and exhaust and mods
and just tonite again fair and square twice In a row beat my brother in his 05 350z with exhaust, all the way.
Might actually start to get street cred and recognition after all haha

Nice one on the 350Z! I might have to line one up someday...
Imagine how it will go with a DPF delete? From 125kw up to 170kw!

Mate forgive my ignorance and laziness but tell me more about this dpf delete....
This is all new to me, this tdi bizzo.

The latest EURO emissions spec was adopted by Australian so that from 1 Jan 2008 all diesels sold in this country needed to have a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter).Mate forgive my ignorance and laziness but tell me more about this dpf delete....

What it does is essentially stores all the 'soot' that comes out from the motor and burns it off slowly over time as you drive so as to not release any soot sized particles into the atmosphere.
The things is is that it is a restriction to the motor. It has to force exhaust gas through about 3 90 degree bends and through tiny meshes to trap the soot.
It took people about 18 months to finally circumvent it and for about $2k you can have it replaced with a straight dump pipe and a software tune.
The first batch have just arrived in Aus but from what I know they haven't been installed on anyone's car just yet. Can't wait though!

Wow so is it a matter of a new exhaust? or deleting the rear muffler? And just adding an oettinger chip??
Now I'm really excited

Also TDI's have a Variable Vane Turbo.Mate forgive my ignorance and laziness but tell me more about this dpf delete....

Basically it electronically adjusts the vanes in the turbo to keep maximum boost pressure across the rev range. That said if you see a boost gauge on a TDI it doesn't really show that.
The only petrol car with one is the 911 Turbo. Even the polos have em in diesel. The reason being is that TDI exhaust gas temps, EGT, are considerably lower that petrol.
That and the immense amount of torque, due to the long stroke and v. high compression of diesel motors, 19.5 :1, is what makes it stand up and go in any gear.
The GT is quite different to all other TDI's in that the power doesn't fall away after 4000rpm, it holds up to 5000rpm, if you wanna redline it

Last time I looked my GT TDI redlined at 4500. Any time I've reved it that high the power dropped away sharply and there was a lot more acceleration at lower revs.The GT is quite different to all other TDI's in that the power doesn't fall away after 4500rpm, it holds up to 5500rpm, if you wanna redline it
