HOW FAST is my *BIG TURBO* 1.4 TSI SCIROCCO? 🚀

[@Em_Ligman]

After nearly 1 year in the making... we finally take the car back to the Santa Pod drag strip to find out whether the big turbo actually made a difference to our times... and are we now faster than a full 2.0L Scirocco R? 🔥 Sick SciroccoMods ➜ highonboost.com 🔻 HOTO Tyre Pump ➜ amzn.to/4acqfuV 🚀 Aldous and his Stage 1 Scirocco R - instagram.com/aldous.carton/ ⏭ NEXT EPISODE ➜ kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqnJioh8f52DbKc ⏮ PREVIOUS EPISODE ➜ kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIGZgKydos6cg5I ⬇ Featured Car Parts ⬇ - RTMG Oil Catch Can ➜ dkuperformance.co.uk/product/rtmg-universal-carbon-fiber-oil-catch-can-small/ - RTMG Air Intake ➜ dkuperformance.co.uk/product/rtmg-direct-cold-air-intake-for-1-2-1-4-tsi-ea211-mqb-vw-scirocco/ - Performance SPARK PLUGS I use ➜ highonboost.com/products/denso-ixu27-spark-plugs-1-4-tsi-ea211 - ENGINE OIL I use ➜ amzn.to/3SF6qVD - ENGINE COOLANT I use ➜ amzn.to/48Yd3ZG - APR EA211 Ignition Coils ➜ highonboost.com/products/apr-red-ignition-coils-4-pack ⚙ Follow APC's Instagram ➜ instagram.com/anglia_performance_centre/ 🌎 APC ➜ apcperformance.co.uk/ 📷 Follow me on Instagram ➜ instagram.com/em_ligman 🔥 Follow High on Boost on IG ➜ instagram.com/high_on_boost_uk/ 🌎 Website ➜ highonboost.com/ 👉 My FAVORITE Car Accessories (that I use daily) - Digital Rearview Mirror (Dashcam) - amzn.to/47NFJnL - MagSafe Wireless Charger - amzn.to/3sk0JTm - 130W USB 12V Adapter - amzn.to/3YBJTvx - Car Boot Organiser - amzn.to/3YBKDAP - Portable Car Bin - amzn.to/3DVoyUb ♬ Music & Sound FX I use ➔ www.epidemicsound.com/referral/c9duzi Affiliate Disclosure: I may earn commissions from qualifying purchases using the links above. #dragrace #scirocco #turbo

[@bengarrett2643]

Crazy how close it is to a stage 1 R, great seeing it finally starting to put the turbo to real use. Sounds mint as well

[@Fluxxyys]

No where near close wut

[@bengarrett2643]

@@Fluxxyys didn’t seem far off, I didn’t say they were neck and neck I said it was close to it as in probably around 300hp compared to the stock 280 of a facelift R plus u have to keep in mind it’s manual vs dsg, there wasn’t a massive difference in times either

[@Em_Ligman]

I think once we dial a few more things in, we'll likely be quicker than a stock R for sure

[@bengarrett2643]

@@Em_Ligman seemed like it might already be faster than a stock R, you’ll obviously have more of an idea at that tho😂 the stage 1 was definitely faster but I think it would’ve been interesting against a stock R

[@bartoszjakubowski9609]

We are hoping to make a manifold and a chargecooler for the aplication…

[@_3th4n_72]

Company name??

[@ScottPC]

4:35 mad recoil off that upshifter. His hand must sting!

[@croydan7370]

Absolutely crazy power bro! Can’t wait to see the dyno run

[@acarton]

That thing definitely has some poke now! |Once youve sorted out cooling we'll be back for round two! Also have absoluetly no clue why I was shifting like a madman 😂

[@Em_Ligman]

Haha we'll definately be back to do it again soon :D thanks for coming that day bro

[@hdjdbu868]

The Scirocoo sounds badass!!!!!

[@AlexSisu]

Sick video bro glad to see you race my friend Aldos haha 😂 next time we need to race 💯🚀🙏🏼

[@Em_Ligman]

Haha I'm gonna need a shit ton more mods to keep up with you mate :D

[@AI-Records24]

Why was he up shifting like that in the R, paddle broken?😂

[@romeole40]

You should get a dogbone mount insert or dogbone mount something to get rid of the wheelhop

[@Em_Ligman]

I did have someone else also message me about this! We’ll get one on the car 😎

[@TheYBGOON]

I drive a 1.4 Octavia. Thanks for the videos.

[@the_a3_8v94]

Kid got mad recoil on that upshift paddle 😂 must take some skills to do that

[@Xenon96000]

This things needs an intercooler. I’ve got just about the same build with about 28psi peak and without the intercooler it was heavily bogged due to extreme heat soak. Cut some weight and replace it with a decent intercooler

[@Em_Ligman]

Hmm yeah mine might be suffering with the same problem then :D

[@syrconcrete6399]

Intercooler might be the next right step and if thats not enough... wmi.

[@Em_Ligman]

Yes! We need a cooling upgrade

[@Night_keen]

@@Em_LigmanMPI and injectors as well. HPFP upgrade. Lots more to be had. Bigger turbos, etc etc

[@AI-Records24]

@@Night_keenhmm… at what point do you just cut and buy something else though? I’ve seen guys put 10-15k in cars and still not be as fast as they could have just bought something for. Go B58😈

[@Night_keen]

@@AI-Records24 depends on the goal. If you’re willing to go far and do things smart, you wont necessarily spend that much. In addition, the 1.4 is light. A 700hp b58 can possibly get paced or beat by one given the correct Circumstances, style of race and driver. 500hp in a sub 3000lb car will keep up with a 700hp 4000+ car

[@AI-Records24]

@@Night_keen oooooof we are talking very very specific circumstances here now mate😂generally speaking the b58 is going to take precedence most times especially in something like a 140 given the similar weight but also what’s never really mentioned is the reliability factor. A 700bhp b58 is a lot more reliable than a 500bhp 1.4, it’ll go stronger and harder for longer. But I do agree, weight is everything and we don’t really know what the goal is with this car or I don’t anyway I haven’t seen him mention it. Stripping it would make a nice little track car, it’s never going to break drag records really but it’ll certainly give some more powerful cars a good run for their money on track!

[@Finn_Perkins]

Get an inter cooler asap

[@Em_Ligman]

Likely the next mod ;)

[@KevinDeanTaylor]

Pretty crazy that its not pulling any timing on 1.9bar on pump fuel. Any idea what your intake temps are?

[@fikuscina]

i’m guessing that youre running about 210hp 2 bar with no intercooler is crazy bro 💀💀💀 you’ll benefit a lot from it.

[@Em_Ligman]

Yeah... Bart is gonna cook up a solution soon

[@waynehall7750]

Look up interchiller to pipe into stock heat exchanger and keep it at 0*f

[@twitchswazxy1912]

where did you get all the carbon on the interior from and , the custom seatbelt ?

[@Em_Ligman]

highonboost.com/ for the interior bits Custom seatbelts don’t by airbag team UK

[@twitchswazxy1912]

@@Em_Ligman cheers mate car does look amazing

[@jarnokroes2023]

Hows the transmission at this power?

[@Em_Ligman]

Somehow it's completely fine :D

[@WalshEBoY]

do these have LSD plus drop the pressure much lower you wont destroy the tyre

[@Em_Ligman]

I'm pretty sure mine is an open-diff

[@kenrossaukrsa]

Scirocco R is front wheel drive - supprised it doesn’t bounce in 1st gear too

[@Em_Ligman]

Yeah both of us are FWD, his didn't seem to bounce nearly as much as mine

[@leleviglione8995]

how many hp do you have?😮

[@Em_Ligman]

Check the the video I just posted to find out ;)

[@fs0c1ety_bs92]

Sirocco R heldex is dead or what

[@Em_Ligman]

It’s FWD

[@arronlowley5659]

is20 cannot handle this sort of boost pressure, it will blow up very very fast.

[@Em_Ligman]

We'll rebuild it ;)

[@scott2495]

You're seat is too far reclined. Trust me you are doing your back no favours having it like that
