tbh its not a very good test. What was he hoping to prove anyway?? that dsg is faster than manual?? Thought that was done about 6yrs ago :undecided:

How is dsg faster ? since when could you red-line a dsg ?

 :grin: its faster plain and simple....

as while your putting your foot on the clutch and changing gear, dsg has already done it, and you dont even have to take your foot of the accelerator

also the red-line does not make one bit of difference as your puny K03 turbo will run out of puff by 6krpm  :nerd:

One other thing, that I missed, since when does the EA888 have a K03 turbo ?  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

one thing i missed too... the ea888 does have a K03 Turbo and its had it since the vw techs put the car together  :smug:

if you wanted to rev over 7krpm then you should have bought the R but you didnt because you cant afford one  :kiss:



Well as far as I'm aware the EA888 wannabe (EA113) has the K03 turbo, the superior EA888 uses the IHI turbo. If I'm wrong correct me, and I will apologise. If I'm not wrong, then you can kiss my arse.

Could be worse, I could be a comedy driver who does f**k all but get his car crashed into... saving big mileage trips for the courtesy car and getting to thrash some other poor sods GTI around for a month or so whilst claiming a few grand for the pleasure :wink:  :grin:

fixed it for you :grin:

your wrong  :tongue:

ea113 as found in the R / S3 / mk5ed30 has a k04 turbo, hence the 350-360hp you can acheive with a bit of tuning

the original ea113 as found in the mk5 gti (non ed30) had a k03.

the new ea888 as found in your mk6gti/scirocco tsi either has a k03 or IHI - although I have only heard the IHIs been in the new skoda's so far... so maybe you got lucky kev  :wink:

lets say 0-62 is faster with dsg, and lets say no human is faster than a computer (which I agree with) but lets also say the computer changes gear before red-line (which it does) and lets say hypothetically were on a straight line... the manual will eventually catch you up and take over, it may take a bit of time but it will happen. So it is actually faster top speed.

Check out rpm of change ups (DSG on right)  :evil:

VW claims are well out. Id be pretty pissed Vw sold me a car thats half second slower then they claim.

Not good.

It's coming out pretty fast in most other tests, and faster than the Focus RS in these   :-

It feels much more of a "track" car than the R32 was

 :evil: :evil: :evil:   .. trust you R32UK  :wink:

TBH I'm a bit put off with warranty worries for now,  but it's a no brainer on an older car

Maybe after 18 months

Good stuff!! Cant blame you for wanting to wait until you have a few miles on the clock. iirc you should see around 330bhp with just a remap :shocked:

That makes the R a serious machine.. and next on my shopping list :wink:

Do it Jonny, leave Mr sensible brain behind!!!.

Look foward to testing the R with 4 wheel drive. Will be interesting to see how it compares to the same unit in my Ed 30 but with 4wd system added :smiley:
