craggsy 91 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 You think 1st gear is short try having a turbo R32! First is gone in a blink when gunning it Bealieboy and D11PS 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Mk3highline 287 Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I had same problem (wait for it) 6 speed Fiat seicento turbo, Rev limit to 8500rpm helped. really short gearing turbo torque and ~800kg launching in 3rd, my cheap learning experience Lol Seriously with the 24v motors there is enough torque to have longer first surprised not found anyone els trying for the sameOn damp roads I turn the inlet manifold off (open flaps) to have little less torque to set off quickly without spinningOr other option is to go all out mk4 wiring with abs etc toget traction control Link to post Share on other sites

alex williams 20 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I've got exactly the same views. Been driving my vr6 for only a day and my old 8v gti did a better speed in 5th! Link to post Share on other sites
eurotuning 0 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Options are as follows: 1) The simplest variant, adding 6th gear without changing 4th gear... 2) Extreme variant, adding 6th gear and changing 4th gear. Then, ratios 0.65, 0.59 can be used for 6th gear... Link to post Share on other sites
