Blew Downpipe off at full boil

If you don't already, I'd get a fire extinguisher to keep in your car in case those wires decide to do some funny business

I am tightening as it goes through heat cycles. The original vband is much more flexible than the new one.

After you're done tightening, install a nut.

I have one of these in the glove box, hope to never need it

Idk. With my Haldex switch in FWD, punching it at low speeds it’s instant spin with 245 R888R’s.

What is this FWD switch you speak of? I've been wanting to do the same to mine

Likely the tuning. I get some spin in first, not much in 2nd with the same tires.

Idk. Traps 102 in the 1/8, so starting to make decent power.

Just an in-line switch / fuse that replaces the Haldex fuse. The switch just breaks the fuse connection and turns it offZ

Most likely the issue is the tune. Do you have a manual or auto? I have the same tires that I use during the summer time but mine are 235. When they are warmed up, I don't get any wheels spin but maybe a chirp.

I don't disagree with you - I just don't; shit breaks. I like to roll on the highway from third gear at 4K RPM onwards.

Well, I mean shit's gonna break no matter what you do so pick your poison and do what you like.

FWD has always been able to race from a dig... Just not as well as rwd or awd cars

Yes, we know. It's a lot harder to race FWD from a dig and those that accomplish it, I feel are the better drivers over the rwd and awd drivers.

DSG, tuned by railroader. Not tuned for any power reduction in lower gears.

OP: Glad you came out ok!

Time for me to go check my vband as well lol

Yeah I was gonna say… this claim of no
Spin only chirp is cause the Cobb timing pull for TC…. My car can spin my rt615s in 265 with ease in second gear if I fully disable all traction’s.
