Thanks for sharing, that is crazy fast.
Just a point about the Driftbox graphs, if you go into "Graph set up" on the top menu then "channel scaling and axis set up" then "axis set up" you can set the "min" and "max" for the various scales on the graphs which means you can set the mph from 60-140 and the long Gs from 0-1G etc.... it makes the graphs much easier to read and more meanigful - I was trying to see how high the long Gs were in 3rd gear - looks like 1G but hard to see with that scaling ?
For the benefit of tt owners and along the lines of what I posted before about the benefits of VTG turbos, do you guys fancy having a "lag off" ?
How about run the Driftbox, drive at constant throttle in third gear at a steady 30mph then punch the throttle WOT and run it to the rev limiter in third - it will show graphically just what the torque curve is doing on the road. Looking at the longitudinal G curve will be fascinating and show if there is indeed any lag and how big it is ?
I will do a similar thing with mine, starting at 2000rpm in 3rd.....what about it ?

Ultimately the time it takes from 30-110mph in 3rd gear using this method will give a great idea of what sort of lag this engine has.
It will display accurately what you guys are describing ie "drives like stock" "linear power delivery" "the dyno doesn't show how much low end it has" etc...
I can't understand how those big turbos can spool up as you guys are describing - so I'd like to see it
