Before this race even began, my buddy had a "brilliant idea" to make my bov louder. We took that hose out where it goes to the intake and plugged the hole. This made the car idle like ass and every time i let off the gas, the car kind of stumbled, i dont know how else to explain it. Nevertheless, we took her for a run on the turnpike hoping the ecu would adapt, but it never did. As we were cruisin, I saw this nasty looking car approaching (if you every saw the front of a Mach 1, you know what im talking about). He zooms by me with his girlfriend in the car, and i had two friends in my car. I dropped it a gear and gave her hell, weaving through 3 lanes of traffic to catch up. When I did catch up, it was just me and him with no traffic in the way! Amazing! I looked at him, he looked at me and we both took off, we were both doing about 75 mph when we took off. I pulled about half a car on him and the race stayed like that until my car topped out at 138 according to the turbo timer (my stock guage read about 145-150). As soon as i topped out, he flew by me pretty quick. He gave me a little smirk and a thumbs up, and we were on our spereate ways.

congrats on the run. the reason you're car idled like poop and stumbled is because you were venting with no provisions for it and were using a shitty stock bov(correct?) i tried venting a 1g bov and it didn't work for shit, even w/the maft. now i'm venting an hks ssqv w/a stock 1g mas and it seems to work fine. so i would have just say imho that its just a matter of how well the bov seals.

Re: Re: High speed run...TSi vs. Mach 1
Heat, I dont know what your getting at there, but i am assuming you think my car was running shitty because i took that tube out and therefore should have got smoked by this mach 1. Well your wrong, you dont lose any power with this tube off unless you let off the gas to shift, and i think i shifted once, maybe twice. Other than that, the car screams as normal. Anybody else think im telling tales??? This is ridiculous.Heat said:

So, no your assumption was wrong.
Well I'll spell it out for you. Yanking your dump tube to tryin make your bov sound louder and weaving through 3 lanes of traffic kind of makes you sound like...I dunno one of those people who draw negative attention to themself.96Talon6bolt said:

You know, i really dont want to argue with you here. but if i need to explain myself more fully so you can stop being an ass, than i will. I tried this dump tube removal as an experiment (one of my friends has it done and his car runs fine). Right after i removed it, i saw the mach 1 and gave it a run. Ten minutes after the run, my car was still idling like ass, so i put to tube back on. It was that simple, so i really dont see why your are being like this...but whatever. I dont take time out of my day to come on the internet and make up stories. It happened, i was behind the wheel, you werent.Heat said:
I think the funniest part is where you were supposedly going just shy of 140mph and had the amazing vision to notice the guy smirked at you and gave you a thumbs up. :hail:
So this guy was pulling past 140mph and gave you the thumbs up and a smirk? Yeah because everytime I am going 140mph+ I always take a hand off the wheel and look away from the road to smirk and give thumbs up

Wow guy, im just gonna stop posting. Do i have to explain every little detail so your small brain can figure it out? Obviously we werent doing 140 at that time. THINK before saying dumb stuff... And im 20 years old, not 15. I stopped making up stories when i was like 10. But hey thanks for the post wise guy,kobykris said:I think the funniest part is where you were supposedly going just shy of 140mph and had the amazing vision to notice the guy smirked at you and gave you a thumbs up. :hail:

All I said to begin with was Hmmm and you make an incorrect assumption based off that. I was trying to be nice by not flaming you. Yanking your dump tube for the sole purpose of making your bov louder and weaving through traffic at high speeds makes you sound like a ricer.
I try explaining that to you in the next post, trying to be polite and just say you're drawing negative attention to yourself doing that. Again, I was saying it in a nice way, I could have just flat out called you irresponsible and that you give the rest of us a bad name.
Now for some reason you think I'm calling BS on your story? Where are you coming up with this stuff. There's this thing called reading comprehension, come on now...
