well im out with a buddy of mine that has a 03 jetta 1.8t that runs like a bat outa hell with just bolt ons and a stage 2 tune. well this turbo sentra ser pulls up and said who wants to play. i told him to run the jetta, 4 cylinder turboes running should be fun to watch. so i get in my car with another couple friends to watch the run, at this point with me and the other guys in the car im well over 4k lbs. so they run and the sentra comes out on top barely. then he wants to run me, he gets next to me and im thinking to myself, i got all this extra weight, but whatever. we do a 1st gear roll, honk the horn 3 times and go, i pulled a car and a half instantly, i got him by a car down the 1/4 but we kept going, by the time he got into 6th gear he was right next to me. we do it again off 2nd and he beats me by a car, i was on his rear bumper. we got back to the spot and he was talking a little junk, he said hes pushing after the tune, 260fwhp and 280fwtq with his t3 turbo and his car weighs 3k lbs with him in it. so i told him, how about we run off the launch and with just me in my car down the 1/4, what my car is built for with just bolt-ons, 4.10s suck on top end. he comes up with some excuse and leaves. seems to me he knew what the outcome would be. overall im still impressed in the performance of these 4 cylinder turbo cars now and days, more motivation for me to boost.
