Depends how busy it is. first time i went i got 7 runs in and could of done more but the second time i got 2 runs in all afternoon :sad:
Best time to go is on a peak perfomance day which is when people are mainly testing different setups on their drag/road cars.
They are usually pretty quiet and you could easily get 10-15 runs done in a day.

Tornado red ED30, Revo stage 2, ITG Panel filter, 3" Blueflame turbo back exhaust, leon cupra front brakes, ecs dogbone mount, WALK kit, Eibach sportlines, Satin black Monza II's, VWR/sachs paddle clutch

Phyllis have a warm up or two beforehand to make the tyres warmer and stickier and ensure the car's at maximum operability.

And if there's a tailwind, we can stick up a sail! :signLOL:

Im having a milltek fitted CONFIRMED!!!!. i  can have it fitted anytime after next week, deposit paid!!, so i think it'll be closer now then the GTi boys think  :wink:

Shhhhhhh!!!!! You don't want them to think you have a chance of winning and then *boom* you're across the finish line before joesgti even hits 30mph!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

If you want, could meet up for practice runs  :signLOL:

I practise on slipways by flooring it (making sure there's no one around of course!). :driver: :driver: :driver: :driver: :driver: :driver: :driver: :driver: :driver: :driver:

Guys, help a newbie out: Diff between catback and turboback?

The only improvement i'll think ill notice is the noise and a slight torque improvent. Not much like you say, but the car will look better with the milly on rather then the stock zorst. (looks to me mean more the (POWWWERRRRRRR) in clarksons tone of voice :smiley:

Turbo backwards exhaust (£1000 approx) will see improvements to horsepower as thats bolted from the turbo. see horsepwer gains from this.

Catalitic converter back (or catback) is at the bottom of the Stock factory downpipe, around where the centre consol is in the front, in my case one of the silencers removed to get it the slightly harsher exhaust note and releaves some back pressure in the exhaust giving the engine less grief to chuck out the exhaust gases out da back of the car......... or something like that

too close to call it. 10bhp approx between the 2 cars, torque figure on joes is higher off the mark but drops off more at higher revs then the ed30 . Smaller turbo V larger turbo....... Manual V dsg....................  so many +'s to -'s. Canny call it  :confused:

Looking foward to my jkm visit coming up.
