How much faster can a £500 Tune make a VW GOLF R: Stock vs Tuned

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

So we have the infamous Golf R, one of the most popular hot hatches and really an Awesome Car. Not that it doesn't already pack a punch but you guys know we don't like to keep anything stock. So we did some testing 0-60 1/4 and 100-200 with stock software and then flashed it right on the side of the airstrip with stage 1 OEM+ and see how turned out. Stage 1 is easily the best bang for your buck modification but we wanted to see really how much difference it could make.

    Ecu/dsg tune for the R/GTI make it feels like a whole different car. Car is smoother during cruise and traffic, and it pulls hard af when you get on it. There are many tune companies out there. I have integrated engineering ecu/dsg on my gti and it was the best 1k I have spent on a car.

    So this is actually a tuned VS tuned video. It would be good to see a stock vs tuned vs tuned version so potential customers could see any benefit of adding just a remap, and then perhaps advancing to a remap with added breathing. A screen listing the mods and times/speeds would be useful too for those of us with short attention spans. And rather than a 100-200kmh measure, how about 30-70mph in third which will be more representative of UK use and highlight any torque benefits. Cheers

    maybe where you live. but not everyone has the 300-400USD to spend on top of the cost of the tune , so actually a lot of ppl just do the tune first as most companies do OTS maps, they can add the intake and elbow at a later stage and still gain from the original file loaded. Yes the OEM intake is good, but its closed, and doesnt have colder air coming into to, so it does make a difference especially to maf readings, so i think my original statement was pretty real world

    @@TrenC21 Omg so your statement is totally wrong. The stock box is the choice for pure cold air if you change the filter out and dremel a hole into the front part of the intake, which is a common change for ppl. Cost is maybe $50 for the filter. That change gets you pretty much the same results to anything else you can buy. I've done all these changes over time and like I said its common for ppl with Stage 1 to do the intake change even if its the cheaper one I just mentioned. But yes not the turbo elbow.

    It’s absolutely insane what a stage 1 tune with the TCU tune will make that car do. If you’ve got a Golf R that’s DSG, the stage 1 tune and TCU tune is the absolute best modification you can do for the money you spend and as long as you use a reputable tune, you likely won’t have any issues with the reliability of the car as long as you take care of it and maintain it.

    Could you guys not have got a totally standard Golf R to test with? Also, 4.6 to 60 on the first run “stock” is about the same as the book figure for the 7.5R/S38Vfl. So can we assume all the physical mods on the “stock” car had no effect whatsoever?

    Would having those mods done and no ECU tune not reduce the cars performance. So then when adding the ECU tune you see a much bigger gain. I think a better comparison would be a factory stock car against a stage 1 ECU flash.
