righty

For some reason I remember there being a limit of 200 LC, but not sure for what that is for exactly. Maybe during warranty?

That looks more or less what it should be in stock, especially with a full tank. So your car is perfectly capable. 😊

It is not the start stop, though I think that has to be deactivated as well. You hold down ESC button until it says ESC Sport (about 5sec?), after that you can do LC. Then you just left foot brake, floor throttle and it will hold RPM at 4k, then just release brake. That I honestly dont know. I had mine attached next to the driver window. Also not sure since it was a long time ago, but pretty sure it wasnt 8 degrees, more like 10-15. Could be that dragy just takes a location based weather reading.

Is yours the older 280 with 6speed DSG or the newer 280 with 7speed? I have the 7speed, not sure if that makes a difference. Also mine is a hatch, so a small weight difference. Speaking of, how much fuel did you have during your dragy run? I had less than a quarter of a tank, that also makes a difference, since weight savings. Also managed to get stock dragys for you.

In your previous post you said you got 6.3 without launch control which.. seems normal? With LC that should be below 6.

Yeah, but that was with launch control. I will have to see if I can somehow access the stock dragys, I still had my old phone when I got the logs from my friend whose dragy I used. Will look into it. Stock was 272hp and 350nm.

I did not measure any times without launch control, so not sure what my times would’ve been, but it makes a huge difference if you launch control or not. I am fairly sure the quoted times are with launch control as well. In my case factory stated was 5.5 and I got 5.18 so all good there.

I am actually not sure what that noise is, but it starts at 5k for me.. asked several mechanics and they have no clue. Havent gone to the tuner since that would be a 130km drive for me. Anyway on another note, finally got exhaust tips painted black, looks a lot better now I think. Since I cannot post here (apparently I am capped on data or w/e) here is an imgur link. https://imgur.com/a/ht8MN2i

Yeah, I guess. I havent been on dyno either, so I dont know my exact figures. Also, I am not sure but I might have a small boost leak somewhere, not sure how much it would impact the performance though, since I am already getting good times. Why I think that is because of a kind of a whistle or I am actually not sure how to best describe it, maybe like a very long beep (until it swaps gears), but it starts at around 5000 rpm and stays until redline/gear change. I was told that maybe it could be the diverter valve, but I am not sure if that could be making that noise on max boost if there is a leak.

Could be that that tyre was just bad in that size or just bad batch in general and I got unlucky. Once my Hankooks wear out, I might try 245 again, since I do like it when it is a bit wider. 10mm not that much, but every little bit makes it more aggressive. I agree with you that the stock superb is already very fast, but the feeling you get with stage1 vs stock is.. pretty significant. Especially so when you consider you dont really NEED any mods for stage1, its just extra. For me the intake is more for the sounds, love the noise it makes under boost. Intercooler is just to keep the IAT lower, car should put up with more that way. But those arent a necessity. But I guess the biggest difference you feel with stage1 is the torque.. going from 350nM to 540nM is.. a big increase. 😅 I've taken people on rides who are used to driving like 150bhp or lower cars with very low torque and they say they get dizzy and sick when I floor it. 😅 Though I do not feel sick, even when I am in the passenger seat. 🤷‍♂️

It might just have been the particular tyre I got and you could be fine. Yes, your car was also one of the reason why I wanted to try 245 myself. What make and model tyre are you running, just wondering?

That seems proper fast, though I do not feel like mine is very slow either. Guess TVS is just better 😅. As far as mods go, the only differences I can see are muffler delete, coil packs, GFB dv+ , which I have not done. Don't know if these would add up to such a big difference, more likely for it to be the tune. They would look stretched with a 35 profile. I guess it also comes down to the make of the specific tyre, some are more stretched than others. If I remember correctly, I actually have 2 different tyres in the pictures, I will post below. The above image is where I have 235/40/R19 Hankook Evo3-s. Here if I am not mistaken, I should have 245/40/R19 Sailun Atrezzos that I was trying out, since I read a lot of people run 245-s on their superbs. For me it did not work out, not sure if it was the tyre or the size or the combination of both, but I got vibrations in the car. When swapping over to the Hankooks later, everything was fine.

Thank you. If you mean size, I am running 235/40. Was thinking about getting 235/35, but did not want to get that low profile, so I went for a higher profile and I think the comfort should be a little bit better on the 40 as well, unless I am mistaken. I do not have DCC, standard shocks. On another note, the car goes really well with fall tones. https://imgur.com/a/smslpYI

Hmm, if your 100-200 is 10sec with pretty much same power, while mine is 13.3sec, then your 0-100 should be ~4sek, considering mine is 4.28 Though I doubt there is such a big difference in the 2 tunes that yours is over 3sec faster.. did you measure with dragy?

As I mentioned in an earlier post, TVS stage 2 is actually a stage 1 map, his mods are just extra and not required. Unless he means he got the actual stage 2 which would be stage3 in TVS tiering, but that would require a downpipe he did not mention, so it should be a stage 1 map, just in TVS tiering it is stage 2, because their stage1 is a driveability map. Also yeah, the konis seem to lower the car even more, I am still on stock shocks.
