I have 2 questions about the 1.8T Jetta.
1. Do I need to let the car run for 30 sec. - 1.0 min to let the turbo cool down after driving?

2. When Trying to "race", how do I minimize the lag in between shifts? There is a guy I know w/ a camaro That I would Love to smoke! But I need to practice my shifting and driving so I can!

Thanks for the info...

keep your RPMs high...power shifting will eliminate some of the problem.

letting the turbo cool down can never hurt, but if it is not mentioned in your owners manual, i woudnt worry about it on a stock car.
