tdi 0-60??

my Leon Cupra TDI has been remapped to 190bhp and I doubt my 0-60 time has improved by that much, i reckon it would struggle to better 8 seconds.
The main problems are getting the power down and the how the power is delivered and its narrow power band.
The big improvement has come in the in gear acceleration times, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears are awesome.

I haven't had mine remapped so only going by what I experienced in mine...When accelerating in first gear feels like the turbo hardly does any work until like 3k and then dies at 3.5k. It seems to rev a lot quicker thus making the gear super short.
When in my friends LCR his first gear is "strong"...turbo kicks in nicely and of course he has a long rev range compared to the tdi.
jonjay, how does your standard FR TDI compare to your mates LCR in terms of in gear acceleration?
from a rolling start from 20mph with him behind me i get to about 80mph and he steam rolls past me quite convincingly. It wasnt a a perfect test and this was before any of my mods although i dont think it would have made a big difference...i was quite please as I initially pull away in 2nd and then a bit in third but soon as he hit third his revs just reeled me in he said.
And i think with Mikes being a 16v and ours maz being 8v, his is going to have a better pick up.
Mike, I think maz (jonjay) was trying to say what you said but in a different way, as in 1st gear is "weak" as it realy doesnt do much in gettin the car going fast, its just too short of a gear to get any sort of good start off with.
Actually thinking about it, i wonder if they had changed the ratios in the gears boxes once they went to 16v, e.g. made 1st gear in the 16v engines a little longer?

1st gear is just wheelspin city, 2nd & 3rd give MASSIVE torque steer, 4th + is just great acceleration
