Except annoyingly, I can never remember which way on the dial is "race".  So, I never know which times are with it in race mode and which are not.  I just turn the dial randomly before a run.  I should be better than that.   :sad1:


I got the remote with mine, so the button tells me and I just press  :grin:


I ordered the damn remote with mine but got the switch.  Took the refund in difference of price instead of having them ship the right product.  Kicking myself now.


....Just leave it in 'Race'  :happy2:

I hear more of a whine from the haldex when driving long distances on the motorway or whatnot with it in Race than I do in ECO or Normal.  That's why I switch it.  Don't know if its even really true, just something I think I notice.  I haven't investigated it so it could just be me.

Hey Keith, give us all a laugh, fgo on=ut and do some performance runs in 4wd mode, then do them again with the haldex fuse removed  :grin: :grin:

Place bets on the difference  :party:

Oh I've already tested that on my old R32.  Haldex went out and I was too lazy to swap it.  Parts sat in the shop for a year back home with me thinking I would do the work to learn and because it would be fun.  So, I or Amanda drove it for a year in FWD mode and then when I sold it, I had the techs swap in the new haldex day before new owner picked it up.

That instant torque from the 3.2 kept the tires spinning all the time at low rpm.  It was terrible really.

No offense to anyone, but I hope to never have a FWD car again.

It really depends on all of the other modifications and the supporting hardware, ecu calibration, etc.

The limitation is fuel in the Golf R.  You can use RS4 injectors and an intank fuel pump and get up to 460-480'ish depending on what lambda you are comfortable with.

At 460bhp you will see .83-.86 lambda, timing advance of around 6-9 degrees.  If you want to be more aggressive (dangerous to longevity) you can push it a bit further.

Turbo is good for just about whatever you throw at it unless you want to fuel with meth injection, higher than 130bar high pressure fuel or auxiliary injectors.

We have tested a GTX3071r on a Golf R at .88 lamba, injectors similar in size to the RS4's at 150bar high pressure fuel with a timing advance around 6 and have achieved 550bhp.  That's way more aggressive than I would ever run my car or recommend to a client though.

500bhp max.  Sounds like you want a GTX3071.
