Yeti 2.5tfsi The Twins. (And Yeti RS)

[BossFox]

let us know how it goes... I still believe you will find it not there.... why brake something, when moving power to the back is still "driving" and not "braking" ... and the 4WD does that anyway..... I still believe its a 2WD tool..... (until someone proves me wrong )

 

Put simple, because there is an open diff.

If you slightly brake the inside wheel you also increase the speed of the outside wheel.

There are clear and obvious benefits with regard to improving the stability, speed and reducing understeer.

 

It's a job for tomorrow night, just noticed I left my VCDS cable at work! :(

yeah, the way I see it is if you brake the inside wheel and increase the outside wheel speed you get a kind of 'slingshot' effect. Captain Kirk used this phenomena to go back in time to rescue whales IIRC

If I do enough track days in the rain it might work for me too.

well, to go back in time you need to slingshot around the sun. Is YET1 airtight? Launch control may be required

OK, maybe not then...

[Toxicvrs]

Probably more fun driving around Brands then it is the sun

Wouldn't get as good sun tan though

If your ABS module doesn't support XDS...maybe you could swap it for one that does ?

[muddyboots]

I still believe you will find it not there.... 

A few Yeti owners have found it there (myself included) - just not enabled. It appears to depend on which ABS controller you got.

[BossFox]

Now with added TTS/TT-RS content.

Lifting the old and new hubs there was a noticeable weight difference!

[Toxicvrs]

Did you get XDS in the end?

[BossFox]

Did you get XDS in the end?

Not had chance to see that through yet! :(

Thinking about putting an LSD in the front instead.

Results from the AMD Brisky meet today...

 

 

With the merest smidge of rounding off it's running 290bhp and 295lb.ft on it's best run.

10bhp-30bhp down on the full spec turbo kit power quoted, but as I'm still running the stock rear section of exhaust and two stock silencers that's quite understandable.

New exhaust time?

[BossFox]

New exhaust time?

 

I like it quiet, easier to creep up on people.

Very similar figures to the Golf, I suspect the Yeti has a little more weight but your figures are slightly higher than mine, will be good fun when we meet on track next year Sir.

If you want it really stealthy I've got a 1.2 exhaust lying about

I would expect your Golf has a significant (100kg+) weight advantage actually.

It's still a little over 1,400kg before I get in...

Race Blue!

maybe so, but everywhere I go I have Liam in the passenger seat, it is like lugging around a sack of spuds!  I think it is time he grew up and got his own track car   maybe not, sorry son.

 

 I will see how we get on over winter and ask Jason nicely, he might let me join the Skoda'a at Castle Combe in the spring

I've got to say you made the right choice getting it done in Race Blue it looks great.

[Llanigraham]

Colour really does suit it.

Thought I hade kept up with this thread, did I miss the brake duct fitting? Looks OE

[DarrellGB]

Are you still running the standard air intake? I'm wondering if something like a VW Racing set up would help increase the torque a little?

[magic62]

With some big straight through boxes it can still be quiet. But can also get rid of the gasses quicker. Turbo will spool up quicker and it would get the heat out better.
