Looks great and love the work you have gone through with it.

Just wondring if there is anything you can do to hold peak power longer?

Why, do you need more than 300hp past the 5200rpm limiter? haha! if you mean the torque then we can hold it longer with a ported head as that is the restriction now but reprofiled cams might actually give decent gains so we will go down that route first! If we can do 320hp on an unopened engine i'll be happy.

forgot it was a diesel, hence the lower redline point.

We have been down at Santa Pod all day today taking the Jetta up the 1/4mile strip. I managed to put in exactly 20 runs back to back without even a hiccup! All the runs had a terminal speed of over 100mph even when I selected reverse or had the odd missed gear!! As this was my first time out drag racing launching was the main issue so there are still a few tenths to gain and a less corner friendly suspension setting might help too but I’m happy as it’s exactly as it drives on the road!

The best run was a 13.8419 and the best terminal speed was 105.43mph. AFAIK the Fastest FWD TDI of the day.
We missed the fastest TDI trophy by 0.4 sec. That went to a nice guy with a homebrew Mk2 Golf Synchro/Haldex sporting a PD150 Lump, Hybrid Turbo and 150bhp shot of Nitrous!!

Here are two slips:

More to come as always!!
