300+kW 1.8T Mk2 Golf POV drive (Boost cut issues) | Slowdown Sundaze meet

POV drive after we switched to ethanol on the Mk2. It feels really good but it needs more... Which I didn't think I would want. It just doesn't feel savage enough.
Hope you enjoy the video!

When you said "Actually, I should go around this way so I can run it on the N1" I laughed and thought you better make sure there's no camera before you boost yourself into an expensive ticket 😂 only to see there was really a camera set up when you got there 🤣 that was defs a sign for more boost 🚀

[@lowdl]

That was a sneaky camera setup there. Usually its quite visible going into town but damn I nearly had a bad time there 🤣 and it wouldn't be an expensive ticket, it would be a straight to court situation. Need to take it easy on the streets. I've had too many close calls. 🙈

[@its_a_salt_ed]

I'm pretty sure it's perfectly legal to drive with a open laptop and highlighting hidden cameras lol. Thank you! Now i feel OK someone else is doing it well. Kudos on figuring out the issue, golfie is def pulling hard.

[@lowdl]

Haha. I probably shouldn't be including clips of me editing my map while driving. I'm glad I figured it out without having to bother my tuner. #powertothepeople 😅

[@mk1maad]

18:19 i'm in love with this car. every video i watch i'm amazed at what a beast your car has become, it really is the perfect balance between fun and scary.

[@lowdl]

Jared's car is a beauty. 👌🏽 I like that "the perfect balance between fun and scary". Haha.

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

You right yes the POV doesnt do it justice ima have to get a ride along to double check...lol

[@lowdl]

🤣🤣🤣 if I see you at a run I'll take you for a spin. But I want to experience the Merc in exchange 😎😅

Great content as always. Cheers. JP

[@lowdl]

🙌🏽 glad you're enjoying.

[@StixGarage]

Nice one tracking that boost cut issue! You're definitely a petrol head, thinking logically, sourcing and fixing an error immediately takes a good relationship between a man and his machine.

[@lowdl]

Thanks a lot. Slowly but surely figuring things out on my own. Had too many situations where I was lost and needed to go back to my tuner to fix things like this. It's great to be able to DIY.

[@donovanbold3859]

it saw good seeing you Sunday, and the car looks and sounds really good

[@lowdl]

Good to see you 💪🏽 Our slowdown meet and greets. Lol.

[@marinusgreyling]

[@mr-c7759]

Honestly, your videos are good my guy 💯 and the MK2 is aggressive on that 2nd and 3rd.😏 Can't wait to see new times on Killarney. 😁

[@lowdl]

Really appreciate it. 👍🏽 Let's see what it does at the next event. Hopefully its quite a bit faster. 😬

[@ronanjuries7091]

Great video Your car is a Monster. We need Rolling race track in Capetown. You really do well. Thanks Lorenzo For all the Entertainment.

[@lowdl]

I would love to do roll racing. The Mk2 would do really well. 100-240 would be epic.

[@VADER_225]

15:14 that's some big boy power.🤤🤤🤤 Would be cool to see some passenger reaction clips.Maybe a couple of friends or subscribers.

[@lowdl]

I now understand why people do reaction videos. It helps alot to convey speed.

[@devinabrittow7775]

So inlove with this mk2

[@zanebakhas331]

Dude love the POV. hopefully all the suspension work comes right.

[@lowdl]

Glad you enjoy them. Suspension work is coming along very well. I'm excited to drive it soon. 😬

[@JA_S_ON]

15:13 😱 I’ll have an order of that please

[@lowdl]

I had to turn off boost by speed for that. Wheel spin is not effecient but it sure is fun 🤣

[@craigladewig3158]

Shaba 🤟

[@lowdl]

Shaba is the man. He hooked me up. 💪🏽

[@davidgriggs3967]

If it's not a boost spike then start by changing your fuel filter then if that doesn't work drain your tank and try fresh ethanol as it has a short shelf life once in your tank.

[@lowdl]

It was boost cut.

[@bessickaaron]

One tyre fire life ROTFLMFAO 🤣🤣🤣

[@lowdl]

🤣🤣🤣 but it makes smoke. Gotta give him that.

[@achmatdavids94]

"Just 1% is this how people blow up engines" 🤣

[@lowdl]

🤣 that's exactly how people blow up engines. But I know mine can handle boost. Just concerned that it might run lean. So can't go too crazy.

[@rushdipaleker]

Maybe just one more percent...

[@lowdl]

Maybe one more percent ended up lifting the head 🤦🏽‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@davidgriggs3967]

Bad ethanol can cause a boost cut or pull timing depending on the ecu your using .

[@lowdl]

I mentioned in the video that the boost cut was set too low. It was a closed loop boost cut but I'm running open loop so it didn't work as expected. All sorted now though.

[@Encarnation1000]

Built motor?

[@lowdl]

De ja vu. You asked the same wuatuon last week 😅 Forged rods, cast pistons. More specs in the video description 👍🏽

[@randups]

It's not revving clean

Mr. LL. All respect bro but dont keep this to yourself, Mr. Will Smith have been secretly harassed in Ladsmith right here in Southern Africa. Nowhere else. By people pretending to be me.

Hectic...
