Audi A6 Bi-Turbo Vs. Eclipse GST ?
A kid I know was literally run over by a tractor trailer and survived, but is handicapped. He got a huge settlement and his newest toy is a Silver A6 2.7T bi-turbo with the tiptronic transmission. I know the car has 250 horsepower stock, and he paid the Audi dealer $400 "to turn up the turbos"....yeah. Anyway he wants to race, maybe even at a track, as soon as my car is out of the shop and the new clutch is broken in.
My car has Intake, 16G turbo, 190lph pump, 550cc Injectors, SAFC2, turbo back exhaust, ACT2100 and Fidanza Flywheel, but stock intercooler. Im running 16psi, I decided to keep the boost low because I needed my stock clutch to last a month, but I plan on turning it up to 20psi with the new clutch. With the slipping stock clutch, my car has kept up with my buddies 2006 BMW 325i, but we werent racing, just doing some spirited driving.
I think I stand a chance. What about you guys?

Those cars run a mid 14 sec car, your car should be running in the 13's with what you have easily. My guess is you should smoke him. Oh and btw be aware of the stock intercooler. I think somewhere after 19psi you could get heat soak. So i wouldnt go higher then 19 for now.

Yes you can beat the other car.
Remember you are racing an Audi it is heavy and a car for older people. It was made to look fast but not really it's sucks on hard u pin curves.
Tuners and Wanna be tuners are not so excited about Audi's. I would get worried if you are racing a WRX sti or a BMW M3. The rest of the cars are just no match for the Eclipse. I would even laugh at a MAZDA 3 or 6
if they want to race you.
I saw on SPEED channel this kid run a 35 psi on his eclipse.
