Sounds just like my experiences with the APR stage 3 Jetta 1.8t I used to drive. It pulled like crazy for about the first 10 seconds of playtime, then the SMIC would heatsoak and the thing became a dog, was no faster than my 1992 16V 2.0L Jetta GLI.

A 1.8t's biggest downfall is the heatsoaked intercooler. A FMIC does help quite a bit, bit it still has to be a substancial sized IC or it heatsoaks too from that tiny little turbo kicking out all that heat.

And as for the San Diego S2K's, you guys are the biggest smack talkers in existence I still have yet to see any of you bust into the 8's at Qualcomm, and some of you aren't even running in the 9's yet. Yet you somehow manage to annihilate M3's and 911s and Z06 vettes (rolls eyes).

Let me just say, I do love hanging out with you at Fusion Cafe but you have the worst BS stories I've ever heard about what cars you've beaten, and you're the quickest to call BS on other people's stories if they ever, heaven forbid, actually beat an S2k in a run and tell publicly about it!!! Because you know that could never happen in real life. "My stock AP2 beat down a Gallardo last weekend".... yeah. And my R32 is a "slow, heavy pig", yet none of you have managed to beat me yet except Liem who had a turbo S2k and took me by 0.1 second in the 1/8th.

The funny thing is how much smack you talk here on the forums, but you're actually pretty nice and mild mannered in person. I'd never guess you had these vicious and unrealistic internet personalities. Reminds me of the AOL Car Chat room from like 5 years ago.
