Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[Guy_H]

Because the new engine is just so good & efficient out of the box, there is not quite as many gains from intake / exhaust and even race gas.

There are gains, but just not as big as on cars where the stock components are lacking (Mk6 Golf R intake for example).

Waiting to hear from those tuned......

Tuned today.... Stage 1 plus CAI.
Transformed car!!! Holy crap. Fastest car I've ever driven. LAUNCH in the dry is essentially the G-force ride in dreamworld.... Still driving it and getting the feel for it.

Hey mate, really keen to know 2 things if/when possible;

Has your oil temperature increased? i.e. the readout you get from Driving Info I am pretty sure it is called.
If you happen to have any sort of OBD/Torque interface interested to know what the boost has been increased too.

I would anticipate lower engine oil temp, but higher turbo temp. Thats a guess though.

Oil temp has pretty much remained the same. That is comparing hard driving while stock and hard driving after tune.
Don't have boost readout unfortunately.

Thanks mate, the highest I have seen stock boost is ~17psi.

Does anyone have any info on what stock actually runs?

Hey RoccoR,

Which tuning company did you end up getting? Did the characteristics of the Driving Mode change? If so, in what way please?
Great to hear the upped fun factor ...

I posted this up for the benefit of another forum, but here is VW's tech document on the Turbo failure diagnosis.

Mine peaks at just over 20psi in third gear pull and tapers off back to 18-19psi. boost tap and gauge hooked up from manifold
