(Video) RX550 Turbo E85 vs IS38 E85 GTI

[Jewels_mk7]

For anyone curious how much a hybrid turbo can gap a oem spec IS38 (JD eurosports IS38 Turbo) here's some footage:

J's Built MK7 (dark gti) is one hell of a car. crazy to think this was just low boost setting. This is also a Manual (is38) vs Dsg (rx550) race

Didn't look like 500hp

I was going to say, that was moving too slow to be 490 - 500 whp. I've raced other GTI's that had tuned IS38's and I've destroyed them. They looked like they were standing still as I took off.

to be fair though the rx turbo car was not brake boosting, and is38 does have a slightly faster spool time

I'm confused, E85 RX550 versus IS38 and that was the result? Was someone pulling retard?

But you were redlining fourth; that RX should have spooled plenty by then.

TBH doesnt look much faster than my car.

Also that RX should have left the IS38 car sitting there.

Well it's 5150 tuned so probably still on basemap.



What, too soon?

 

[Daks]

Perfect Diggs - perfect.

They both were running 5150 tunes.

basemap 5150 must be sloowww. How do they do dialed in?

Brake boosting or not, it still should have pulled away a lot faster than it did. I never brake boost, since I drive a manual, and, like I said before, have destroyed tuned IS38 GTI's. Are you sure that car is putting down what it claims?
