Enabled Can you PM me a quote to get my dme unlocked? Can’t pm you since my account isn’t verified. Thank you.

Six months in and I'm still completely thrilled with the Enabled tune. I look for opportunities on every drive to unleash 2nd and 3rd gear, driving out of the way if I need to. In the cooler temperatures, it'll scrabble for traction in 3rd once the boost hits.

I had hoped to get some quarter mile runs in, but the event I had signed up for was canceled due to weather. I have a Dragy, but, frankly, finding enough straight/flat road around here where I feel safe uncorking what I'm guessing is a upper half of the 120 mph range car isn't easy.

I have and love Enabled's tune as well, but you're not trapping upper 120s with just that. If you trap 115mph, I'd call it a win

The stock car traps 114-116 (at least in a magazine test), so I would expect at least upper 1-1-teens IRL?

I have two high 10 sec, 130 mph vehicles. I feel pretty confident I would've trapped over 115 when I got it (AA exhaust, front mount upgrade - it's my understanding those things don't really make much power difference due to the way the ECU manages the torque). I don't think the M2C has quite the sauce as the other two, it's hard to tell given those two are automatic transmission torque monsters, but it's absolutely not 15 mph (or even 10) behind.

I really wish I would've done before and after. I may have to stick the stock ECU back in when it warms up and do some back-to-back Dragy runs to quantify the actual difference. I miss the days when I lived 5 miles from the drag strip.

I think it is fair to say that if the M2cs traps in the high teens and the tune from Enabled makes about 60hp more to the wheels that a low 120 trap is likely.

I think Stage 1 BM3 tune is going to be close to Enabled's tune in terms of whp. I think wtq is definitely a tough higher on the Bm3 stage 1 tune though. At any rate, I have to imagine you are correct on the low 120's....

[BigJsmall2c]

Interested in the BM3 stage1 flash. I'm stock other than intake. Heard you need to change down pipes and charge pipes for stage2. Is one vendor better than another?

That's pretty much my feeling, too. Am I being a few mph optimistic? Possibly.

Dispensing with my ill-advised speculation and bench racing - even with my experience, I'm still guilty of "what if", so I charged the Dragy last night and will see if an opportunity presents itself.

What I can tell you is this thing pulls so much harder at the top of 2nd and 3rd gear compared to stock that I get a great head rush. Between the RPMs, the thrust, and the manual transmission, it's more of a rush than I get from my big power vehicles - they have the acceleration, but "both hands on the wheel, mat it, let the fat tires work, and watch the tach bang at 6000 rpms" is pretty boring in comparison.

An open interstate entrance ramp is a moment of exuberance. I drive more carefully on my favorite backroads because of the way the car will accelerate now. I've had a few "Oooops, that was a bit much!" moments approaching turns. The tune has really cemented my love for the car.

Stage 2 tuned S55's are the perfect, borderline excessive street cars. I am not sure why anyone would need more power.

The Dragy I posted isn't my car. I just pulled that off the dragy leaderboard with the Dragy app to provide a datapoint/example. I believe you are correct on stage 2 needing downpipe at a bare minimum. Also, if you go stage 2 you absolutely should do crankhub. With Enabled's tune or a mild CS level BM3 tune really not necessary IMO.

I would suspect the Dragy you posted was a DCT. The DCT really maximizes all of the available boost between shifts. The trap of a 6mt would be a few mph slower.

I could care less however, my car makes me laugh out loud every time i drive it.

Any High flow cat downpipe recommendations?

I went with Wagner. Many go with the AA catted pipes. Both are the high end in quality and price. I would say that most will provide similar gains, however some might fit better than others. For me, I did not want clearance issues so I went with a proven company.

I was able to make two "Invalid" Dragy runs. The first one was a 13.4x@114 and I was wondering how crow flambe' tastes. I flipped a u-turn and hit it again back down the same stretch (which has a slightly off camber turn in it) and went 13.2x@120 with a 2.6 60'. I shifted 1-2 at 6k, waited until well into 2nd to go WOT and still got the TC light flashing at me.

We're supposed to be back in the 60s at the end of next week, so hopefully I can find a good stretch of road to make a valid run. My fingers are still crossed for something in that 125 mph range. It's chilly right now, so the DA is lovely, but the traction, not so much.

[captain slowly]

maybe there's a few MPH left in it, if you get a clean run. I just ordered a dragy, but won't be able to use it in the M2 until April, minimum. I will use it in my Golf R for shits and giggles and report back.

[captain slowly]

finally got the dragy and went to play with my Golf R. 28F, summer tires and salt on the road, lol. Still, fairly quick I'd say. Can't wait until spring and try the M2. I'm sure it'll trap a lot higher, but I don't know that I'll be able to launch anywhere near as well as this little car.

Nice! I miss my mk7 R. the mk7/mk8s are so tunable. Mine was an absolute rocket and way faster than my m2c in a straight line and certainly from a dig. Here's mine and keep in mind this is in Colorado so ICE cars just get killed with DA....approx a 18% power hit vs same exact car at sea level. This run could have been even better but you can see I had to lift coming into a bumpy sweeper (see blue speed line on graph and 1000ft mph vs final trap). At sea level easy 10 second car.

Oh and for shits I actually did a 60-100 with the M2c back in October as I figured would be a better metric for the M2c to compare to my old R. The R was still way faster. I was under 4 seconds 60-100 in the R (3.93s). The M2c was over 5.3 seconds....keep in mind this is pre-Enabled magic though
At the end of the day I think we all know that these cars arent drag racers. Not their forte...if you want that get an RS3 or one of these R's and FBO and tune them

[Enabled]

All this Dragy talk makes me want to get one!



Please let me know if I need to contact you, post your email address or something and I will get back! I was traveling for work in the 1st and part of 2nd week in January.

thats moving, for sure. Funny you should mention the RS3. I have one on order that's coming in April. The Golf R will get traded in on it, lol.

I've been using my wife's tuned Edge Sport (2.7 EcoBoost, AWD, performance all seasons) to scout for Dragy spots. It's nothing like those AWD VWs, but it absolutely roflstomps my two M2C efforts on the short game. A half second 60', 3/10ths 0-60, and still 3/10ths at the 1/8th. M2C numbers are ahead by a couple of tenths and 17 mph at the 1/4.

I think I've come down to driving my M2C to this nasty job site one morning and doing some pulls on the interstate. I commute at 4:30 am, so there's typically very little traffic on the road. Even the interstate here is plagued with rolling hills, but I think it's the safest option.

One of the best things about where I lived in Indiana was the vast areas of flat, smooth, nearly uninhabited roadway. I was tuning a friend's turbo truck one evening when we got pulled over. The cop chatted about the truck for a bit, told us to watch out for deer, and waved us on.
