More on the powerbox.

Late this evening. Empty roads. Me in the Vtec and Rtech in his Octavia. Perfect.

We had a couple of "gunning" sessions, and the results were astounding. On an open empty stretch and in a 0 - 100 (or in the whereabouts), the Octavia was right on my tail. I just couldnt lose it (and even goofed up in an over-revv attempt). We had a good number of acceleration runs and the difference was a car length; negligible at others.

But in a 2nd gear roll on, he thrashed me. There were some moments where Rtech would suddenly gun the Octavia while cruising and you could see the car leap forward instantenously. In acceleration runs, the whistle from the Octi turbo was to die for. Ask Rehaan, he was riding shotgun in my Vtec with the window down.

The more I experience new age diesels...the more my awe.
