You're getting there Gaz.. :pomppomp: At least you know that the car is running well as you have pretty much done a carbon copy of my mate's times (the human dustbin who camped with us the other year if you remember? :signLOL:). He is also running a pre-FL S2+ manual S3 and got 5.0, 5.1, 5.1 & 13.2, 13.1, 13.1 from his 3 runs on Sat..
His biggest problem is his SMF that won't allow him to be too quick on the stick.. :sad1:

My thoughts exactly John... :confused: :surprised: You sure you got 12's last year Jack, don't remember that? Not very often you see a FWD Mk5 in the 12's at Inters and never at Stage 1?!?!
If you are chasing low 12's from a Stage 2+ ED30 you are going to need to get use to being disappointed pal. The only way that will happen is if you strip the whole car and run very sticky drag radials.. There aren't even that many ED30's that have got in the 12's, so that is an achievement in itself mate.. Most are on track tyres and weight loss, but it can be done on stock suspension, full interior and stock rubber, just be prepared to practise.... A LOT. :laugh: :signLOL:

I wasn't to far out this year, traction is the issue, more mods to come for next year so here's my guarantee....I bet you a drink I'll get 12's next year :laugh:

Get yourself to Pod Jack, it's seen as a lot more accurate and official and you don't have to wait a year :party:
I'd be up for a meet at some point and I know there's a few others on here who would.. :happy2:

The trick I found is to run lower boost settings, higher timing and get into 2nd as quick as possible.. If you are Stage 2+ and DSG you don't necessarily need more power mate.
If you crank up the volume on this vid, you can hear me change to 2nd not long after getting off the line.

Did you know you can set off in second on a dsg car :wink:
