Hello there,
I'm starting to do some drag racing with our little bug and we are learning a lot!
We are going to race Pikes Peak race to the clouds in June but right now I'm trying to nail some power at the drag strip as Pikes peak essentially is a bunch on 1/8" of a mile for 14 miles.
Here is a video of the bug: Boxeer Plug Play Kit - STAGE4 VW TDI 240 CR - YouTube
Here is a video at the track: 180225_Boxeer_MusicCityRacewayG on Vimeo
I'm doing 8.85 on the 1/8 of the mile at the moment but I had multiple problems such as no oil cooler and blew a turbo!
the pedal got loose and could only get 70% of pedal
IAT to the roof because intercooler is located in a hard to cool spot...
Questions: what is reasonable ACCEPTABLE IAT if the recommended EGT for tubo is 1600F
What is acceptable oil temperature? I'm going to add external cooler too just because ;-)
what's a good high flow air filter?
Thanks and talk soon with better numbers
Greg
