My car has a constant mixture of 95 octane in my tank. I mix the 100 and the 92 to achieve this. I had several times that were 13.4@104, and even some 14.0@103. My tune is for 95, that is why I use the gas mix. I shift at between 7,400 and 7,800 RPM. I have not hard fuel cut, but there is a cut a 8k I think.

fifth ran a 14.39@97.83

what am i doing wrong?how did you do it? oh and i was boosting @ 0.8 bar
steve pointed something out to me a while back that might help. asside from what nate said...try inflating your tires more. i think around 40psi should be fine. i'd be interested to see how you car runs with nates suggestions and all cleaned out.

Well I know what bogging off the line is, and although it is very hard to launch the car with this turbo and hit boost off the line I have been doing it. I've bogged a few times, but I have the launch down now. I am launching between 5k and 6k rpms. My 60 Ft times are 1.8 to 1.9. They should be much lower, but the car is still having problems. 1/8th speeds are around 80. I don't remember the times, I'll check in a little whille. I don't know what RPM I am peaking at because my car has never been dynoed. The tune is off because my turbo spool is slower than APS says it should be. I already discussed it with them. I will be shipping my car to the mainland this week, so I'll be getting everything fixed in Scottsdale, AZ in a few months. Oh my boost guages are reading different boost, so I am boosting between 1.5 and 1.4 at peak. I will be finding the leak that is throwing my guages off tomorrow.

I like how when I said tire pressure should be high to get some wheel spin people laughed at me. My friend that has been racing a Talon TSI for years told me that the first time he saw my WRX.

I think that you have some sort of mechanical problem. I can't wait to take a look at it and hopefully be able to help you figure out what it is.

Or you could just drive through the water box and put a little water in the tires.

Yeah I do that too. I was in no way claiming I said that before steve. He probably said it long before I eer went to the tracks.
