Sounds like a challenge Steve,  got to be close, Stage 2 DSG v Stage 2+ manual?

I reckon your DSG launch will outdo my ham fisted stick changes.   :signLOL:

I think it will be closer then what people think, 30bhp more, but slower change up to 60.... , a DSG car will catch similar powered motors dueing a few gear changes.. :smiley:
Repardless of peak power, with fwd, it's all about, traction, technique and power delivery,

Bear in mind I'm using cheap timing equipment and not proper timing gear nor a sprint strip which has a better surface   :grin:

You've obviously never done inters strip (brunters) then, it's a knackered old runway  :grin:

Drove mine to York for a day out with the missus. Realised that i should probably buy a rev d or g as my mpg peaked at 30 and never went higher. Pretty sure cruising on the motorway i should be getting more!

Any mods planned yet? Did you keep anything off your ED30 to use on the R?
