How Much Horsepower Does a Tune Add? ~ Stage 1 Tuning Golf R
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2019
- In this video I will show you how to install a tune on your own car. We are installing Integrated Engineering Stage 1 ECM and DSG software. You can tune your car yourself with the POWERlink. The Golf R tune will add a solid amount of HP and TQ, it also changes throttle response and shifting points. The ECM tune totally changes the way the car behaves. Thanks to IE for supplying the tune for this video.

“This is how the car should have come from the factory!” I hear this from so many people that do stage1. Awesome!
Yep. Most everything I’ve done to the car so far has been “Should have came this way” haha
Same with GTI
Watching this video made me realize that guys with beards are just guys without beards with beards
🤔🤔🤔😮🤯🤯🤯
Actually it's guys without beards are just guys with beards without beards.
Aka black beard matters ⚓ argh
This comment made my day 😅
LmaoOOOO 🤯 the fact that I understood this 🤣🤣🤣
I'm a new subscriber and I am so glad that I found your channel as I grew up riding in those iconic Beetles driven by my mom. The distinctive sound of that air cooled motor is permanently etched in my mind-my cat would run to the front door to greet my mom upon whenever she heard the VW parking outside. We had to cover the distributor with plastic whenever it rained as it would not start when wet. Your channel shows how VW had evolved through the years from it's humble beginnings. Thank you for producing such entertaining content!
I went United Motorsports on my 1.8t. stage 1 and it's been great for the past 8 years, very happy with it.
I ran my MK7 with the Soundaktor off for 4 years. Finally turned it back on to sell it to a 22 year old kid who giggled uncontrollably when we went out for a test drive. I think it's just designed to get you to buy the car, haha, which he promptly did.
Funny when i sold my mk6 GTI with stage 1 , he was excited about buying a golf [ cause you know you can tune em man ] really i just saved you some cash man i have it , SOLD , did not even try to beat me down , and i had the soundaktor on too.
You know, I hate it in theory but I’m gonna keep it. I think it sounds good and at least it’s not digital noise piped in through the speakers.
you know you are old when u call a 22 year old a kid
Golfmother it’s a fair point but personally would never buy a car that’s been Mapped … mainly cause you don’t know if the tune was done properly or not .. also any tuned car obviously been thrashed about 🤷♂️
INSANE how much power this thing develops! I know VW is notorious for de-tuning their powerplants, but this is almost criminal! That torque curve is outrageous! That tune is worth every penny! Can't wait for the Stage 2!
The under rating is real.. the old 2.8 30v V6 was rated for 190.. in reality its around 235 at the crank. 40 horse is a lot
I had the same response when I did a Cobb stage 1 93 on my 16 GTI. Awesome numbers 👍👍
just found your channel! going through all your golf r videos bought a 2013 golf r stock 7 months ago! a couple days ago just went IE stage 2 pro with a stage 3 dkm clutch! loving this car loving your videos
This video inspired me to research and call around about the IE stage 1 high torque tune for my '19 Golf R, and I had it done recently. It is awesome; thanks HumbleMechanic! On winding country roads, open highways and commuting too it is like you say, so smooth, and with power just waiting to be tapped. I hope it's OK for me to thank Matt at Triangle Imports for the great tune and sharing tons of information.
Sweeeeettttt. I need to get over there to meet those dudes. I’m about 20min south of Raleigh
Love the upgrades. Keep goin. I will list my upgrades and have hit 100,000 miles on Audi A3 Quattro with no issue from extra power. Sumbitch is extremely fast.
Unitronic stage 2 tune
Unitronic stage 2 DSG
Full set of bigger charge pipes from turbo to inter cooler and back to intake.
GFB diverter valve is stronger than stock.
Turbo muffler delete.
Cold air Intake
Intercooler
Lightweight Enkei RPF1 rim saved 10 lbs per wheel.
Bilstein coilovers adjustable
Full turbo back Borla exhaust. It has 2 mufflers no mid silencer.
We recently put the same tune on our R and it’s amazing! It’s so much fun to do the launch control
LC is SUPER fun!
DQ250 german manual states we should change the fluid after 5 LC.
Killer presentation Charles and that thing is sharp looking on the dyno. Just subbed and ill be staying tuned!
I went with Unitronic stage 2 for my mk7 gti and the dsg tune was such a game changer. The extra smoothness of the shift points makes all the difference.
This. I went uni also and the TCU tune MAKES the entire thing work. Id even go so far as to say if you could only do one.... TCU
I went with a Uni Stage II TCU shortly after going Stage II plus on the ECU on my MK5 GTI. Not sure if they have higher ratings on the new seven speeds, but the DQ250 DSG in mine starting getting hinky in shifts when approaching the factory torque limit (roughly 290 lb/ft on those), the TCU tune not only cleaned/firmed up the shifts, but allowing the full potential of the ECU tune was well worth the money as well. Definitely pulled even harder after both tunes.
For a car that’s otherwise stock turbo with the usual handful of bolt-ons, these are the best two upgrades I’ve made for the money.
Very dope man when I saw your Instagram post I swore you went Unitronic but I like what IE has done
Love it!!! Was great to meet you at Waterfest by the way! Hope you enjoyed the show!
Love seeing you get excited on the car and still loving that yellow color, great choice.
“This is how the car should have come from the factory” - how I felt after putting a VF48 in my Forester XT and got it tuned. Love that feeling! Cheers!
Install a STI steering rack also, really transforms the car by making the steering a little heavier and you need less turns from lock to lock. Best mod I did on my XT next to a VF34 turbo.
now that is awesome. nothing better than a sleeper that you can actually sleep in!
I bought an Integrated Engineering stage 1 tune with the same flash loader for my 3.0T C7 A6 and it's been about a year.... 100% love it... zero complaints, the car is stronger and far more engaging to drive. Power delivery is BUTTERY SMOOTH... huge thumbs up to Integrated Engineering for their software!
Thanks mike! We love to hear that you are happy with your tune(s).
Does doing this violate the warranty?
Am looking to do a tune on my MK6 VWR 6MT, been comparing HPA vs IE. This definitely helps me get closer to pulling the trigger. As always, you are gr8 & always thorough. Thanks😁
WOW! The software gains are significant for sure! What a car!
Not bad gains percentage-wise from a tune only. +16.7% peak hp and +27.5% peak torque at the tires is a solid improvement over the factory calibration.
The reaction of giggling everytime you accelerate is exactly why I went with a stage 1 tune as well! That giggle and smile didn't stop for a while...
Now that it has, I'm looking at stage 2
I know that HP Buzz wears off quick.. LOL
We have a BurgerTuning JB1 on our '16 R, it's been installed for over 2 years and has worked flawlessly. That extra ~50hp/ft-lb made a pretty big difference.
I = super Jelly of the Humble Mechanic! Congrats Charles
That laugh the first time you hit it tells me all I need to know lol.
Would love for you to revisit this tuning of the yellow R, how's the tune and changes holding up, any surprises or things you'd do different? How's the extra belly pan protection, does it affect engine temps?
You don't mention any of the other tuning companies, I guess because they aren't available in the U.S., but that would also be an interesting topic. For example in Europe König works together with VW to provide a tune that does not impact engine warranty (Called ABT Power by König), which is roughly equivalent to stage 1, but they do not provide any dsg tuning. Then there's Revo of course as well.
This guy is great! Thanks for this informative and entertaining video.
Nice one Charles, can't wait, I have a s3 and really looking forward to the tune
That evil 😈 laugh says it all lol. Great numbers for the R 👍🏽
Just got a Stage I low torque tune for my 6speed '17 R -- boy what an improvement! No doubt this is how it should have come from the factory.
@@monkymind4316 Hey Mike - Yeah i got the IE stage I (low torque b/c 6spd stock clutch). I actually drove to their shop since I live here in SLC and they did the tune for me so I never bought the Powerlink stuff. Hope the pandemic stuff passes soon and IE gets more kits in stock for you. Trust me, you won't regret it one bit!
R2 D2 i live in slc too
@@FrostedFlukes Cool man! Is there like a low key VW group around here?
R2 D2 ive been trynna LOOKK!! i can’t find one. if you have snapchat add me! it’s zachcomer4 or my instagram _zach.comer_ and we can talk ab that stuff and find a group, i have a 2014 vw passat 1.8tsi and i’m getting a stage 1 tune on monday and i have a lot of plans for the car
I have a 2017 GTI Sport DSG, soundaktor turned off and a AEM open air intake, otherwise stock and it sounds perfect in my book. I generally don't like 4 cyl exhaust notes and the intake lets the turbo noises through and the intake woosh... it never gets old!
I had a 15 R with Stage 2 which comes with 1.5 Unitronic. My wife hated the crackles and the cops here in Nor Cal did not like it. I LOVED IT!
Had it lowered on BC, strut tower braces, diesel geek shift kit, southbend stage 2 clutch APR downpipe, Awe Switchpath
Dammit Charles. You're going to make me go buy a Golf R.
DOOO IIIIITTT!
Do it, you won't regret it
As the devil on your shoulder, we highly recommend you buy a Golf R as well!
I get my Golf R in under a week now
Word i want a R now as well
Looking forward to the intake and Stage 2 vids
Wow that's great video 👍 sir
some really great guys there ive met a few and good friends with one that works there soon my gti will get a stage one tune.
Great video.I had my Golf R APR chipped last week. i cant believe the difference. i think the 0-60 mph would be very low 4's. it would now be Audi RS3 quick!,
well worth doing your right.its awake,
@@monkymind4316 I live in Australia.so its very expensive here.the APR remap was $970us
and the full APR carbon intake and turbo inlet was the same.so the total was about
was just under $1950 us but it probably depends where you live.but now it is a completely different car,
dwain pipe you don’t need to buy their air intake it’s crazy expensive also if you buy the Downpipe stage 2 is a free upgrade from stage 1. also if you live in a regular climate you don’t need a front intercooler.
I got a 2015 Golf 7 R with Stage 1 high tq ECU and TCU Software from APR and the APR Intake the Car is now a different Car with a lot of Power goapr
How much hp and torque does apr stage one give you ? I am considering doing that to my car
I absolutely love the IE Stage 1 on my '12 GTI... totally transformed the car.
Truth!
Just wait till you go big turbo brotha 😉 really wish I was nearer we could do comparisons on and off the course! Love the yellow, love the videos, keep it up! 🤘
Bug turbski would be cool!!!
Nice.plus the bonus that u can roll it back to original if u sell it.whats not to like.
EXACTLY!
Even if you roll it back, the car will keep a trace of the tune and the warranty will be void. Google TD1 flag
@@Anthonymvpr incredible! Wonder why the major tuners haven't figured it out yet.... Perhaps give them a call and explain your process. You should be rewarded handsomely for your ingenuity!
@@Anthonymvpr share the link, stop being a keyboard warrior...
@@CanadianMax What link? What are you even talking about? Who are you? And why are you tagging me?
How I felt after I did stage 1 to my Genesis Coupe, people kept telling me I'm going to blow the motor. Here it is 226000 kms later and how the car should have come from the factory.
gen coupes are amazing cars.
Love your info, so glad a pro is sharing GTI content. on UA-cam . quick question? 2015 TSI 1.8. nice car but sways around corners . Thinking about converting to minimum drop springs or maybe sway bar to flatten it out without losing much of the stock ride. HnR? diameter of bar? Dont bother with either? lol. thanks 🙏!
it's always fun to drive golf,,,, I love these cars.
Just whiting for your Neighbours to come out waving a pitchfork lol!!
What if you have to take it to a dealership and get something fixed?
Oh I forgot, you are Master VW Technician.
Unless its an issue the tune may have caused, they don't care. LOL
i reset mine to factory settings before i take it in. I was told if they load any new or updated software at the dealer, the tune can cause issues. idk if true. then i plug in and retune when i get hime
HumbleMechanic must be a lot different than Audi dealers.
@@HumbleMechanic in aus warranty voided from tune engine/driveline/dsg voided happens here all the time haha
@@iampyron22 Thats why I never messed with mine, the damn car still broke ...
SEAT Leon Cupra 290 (2.0 TSI Gen 3): Stage 1 tune by BSR in Sweden, Eventuri air intake, Racingline inlet hose, Leyo Motorsports Turbo inlet elbow and muffler delete = from 290 Hp and 350 Nm to 370 Hp and 450 Nm engine output (+55 hp tune and +25 from the intake). As you said Charles, that's how it should've come from the factory! The sleeping monster has woken up :) Feels so agile and eager to rev now!! :D:D
Just found your channel. Coming from a fellow Golf R owner with kids, I loved seeing the car seat back there... lol
Yeah man!!!! My kiddo loves riding in the R
With this tune, how would you recommend a person adjust their maintenance? (i.e. frequency of spark plug, oil, dsg, haled changes)?
I’m halving the maintenance. It may be overkill but it’s worth it
I agree this is how the car should have come from the factory. Those are some good numbers over stock for sure.
Makes for a fun ride for sure.
Integrated Engineering LLC. Yes it does. 🤘🏻
Lucky you have dsg as a stage 1 manual melts the chocolate clutch.
Over here a lot of us run stage 3 500bhp+ and launching is like a bloody missile taking off, keep up the awesome videos 👍
Yeahhhh. DSG FTW
I guess that if u flash the car back to stock, the dealership would never know that it was tuned as long as no traces are left in the ECU? Pretty impressive for a stage 1 tune. I owned a mk4 r32 for 14 years and sold it last year. Miss the growl and the look. Tuned it conservatively with a flash and air intake. Everyone loved the car but it was either turn the car in to a project car or get something that would easily switch from work vehicle to a weekend track car. Last year i got the Golf R and its been a heck of a lot of fun. A little more growl and boost in torque and hp is defenitely needed. Keep up the good work. You have given me some food for thoughts for my next track day.
I have a 2017 S3 DSG. 310 stock PS in Europe. Stage 2 (only Software an air intake) - 385 PS 0-60 4.0 dead.
:)
NICE
I really wish they had a tune for my 2013 2.5 Passat. It sucks they stopped at the 2010 2.5 Passat. I wonder if the transmission is the limiting factor or if other major changes happened to the 2.5.
IE has a tune for your 2.5, it’s minimum power gain but it wakes it up! It’s not listed on the site, but just buy the 2.5 Jetta tune and it works!
Dave J, we do have support for your 2013 2.5L Passat... if it's not listed on the website it's because they put these 2.5L engines in a ton of chassis and we may have missed it on the applications, just know our tune covers ALL 2.5L N/A 5 cylinders. :)
@@IEtuned THANK YOU! I'll be in touch. I can't wait to get this done!
@Travis Worthington so a tune on my 02 Jetta GLX VR6 isn't worth it? The simple fact is that people have been running NA motors for ever. The first NA I worked on was a 71 super beetle with a 1600cc motor. I have done 4, 5, 6 and 8 cyl NA upgrades. With this it is so much easier to hook up a laptop and have it done verses the weeks of work I spent on cars like my 86 Merc Cougar with the 5.0 or the 97 Honda Del Sol si or my 71 Merc Comet GT with the 351 ci and 4spd manual.
Send us an email. I wouldn't be surprised if we actually have that and it's just not listed. Sales@performancebyie.com
Great video!
My 1st visit here!! Loving it already!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Subd, Liked and Turned on (all) Notification!!
Stay humble !!
forgot to mentioned, its 2am here in canada. gonna be watching your tutorial and other vids as soon i wake up in the morning. You should be on Netflix series!!
AWESOME! Thank you
Any particular reason you went with this tune over others?
sponsor, presumably...
Why not go APR? What make your go EE ? Or not unitronics like Dap
IE might have given the HM the tunes for free if he did an episode on it.
APR is too conservative and their support is garbage
KnightGamingDc5_ APR is overrated. I’m running IE stage 2 performance and DSG tune on my MK6 GTI and I love it! I also have supporting mods all from IE - CAI, IC and DP. Best part is, IE has the best customer service hands down!
034>
Uni and APR are good options as well. We think you'd be very happy with IE's tunes as well as theirs. A lot of time has been put into our tunes on the development side making them a very high quality product. Plus, you can return it if you don't like it, pretty minimal risk.
Nice addition to an already fun car 👌😁
And the slippery slope begins lol. I've got a Uni stage 2 18 gti autobahn but it roasts tires too easily. Whish I could have gotten the R. My next purchase is going to be a set of pilot sport 4s's, then maybe itll be able to put down the power. Cheers! Cant wait to see the stage 2 video!
When you have a tuning device but the clutch stinks for more power! 2018 vw gti
Yeah, get stage 2 clutch dude. I'm in the same situation. 17' GTI SE manual. I luv it though 👍🏿
My Mk6 had the same issue at stock power. Not sure why VW can't put in a decent clutch.
@@rennkafer13 agreed, that would be great if they did👍🏿
Can anyone comment on the reliability of the car after a stage 1 tune?? I'm quite new to car mods and I'm considering this option but am fearful of car parts breaking down/blowing up etc. Any advice would be appreciated thanks :)
When your car comes from the factory it’s tuned to pass emissions test, then get the best mpg, then power. What you’re doing is putting power as #1 focus. Stage 1, means you’re not pushing the car to its extreme limit. Track cars are built with the fastest quickest time in mind, so those are always pushed to their limits. That’s why they’re always so hot and have to wait in-between races to cool down. With a stage 1 tune, your car will be perfectly fine. If you notice hotter temps, feel free to get a cold intake or if your car is a turbo, an inter cooler. Or get an airtec vent.
Nice neighborhood and excellent video. 👌
I put the Integrated Engineering Stage 1 ECM and DSG software on my '16 TTS amazing difference, have a downpipe waiting to go on so I can go stage 2.
I want it. But my drivetrain warranty!! 😣
@Open Ranks it flags my ecu for td1. So it does
Here is an idea, uninstall the tune, take it to VW and let them run diagnostics. Report back on TD1 flag. Much appreciated, entire Golf R community North America
It use to have to be reported to get flagged. Not sure on this gen. It may auto flag like Audi
@@HumbleMechanic ODIS checks the lifecycle data in the ECU. Any writes to the ECU other than expected = instant TD1.
After a few thousand miles and mods mature from new can’t wait to see golf r mk8 makes 🤤
I have a IE tune on my 2011 Q5 2.0T and it made a noticable difference in power and for sure torque. I said the same thing this is how it should've come from factory.
He makes 319hp and 353 torque
I really don't blame VW for detuning the car from the factory...the last thing they need is more of a reputation for being unreliable.
That said, what if they had their own stage 1 tune where it costs you the same for that of an APR or IE tune. And be able to keep everything under warranty. They would make a lot of salesfolk happy.
@@progmanmike I totally agree!
Authorized Mike just like Ford with Mountune 👀
@@progmanmike Or like Subaru in the UK with the PPP or Prodrive Performance Pack.
I remember feeling the same way after tuning my GTI. And, like Charles alluded to, you'll want more :)
I drive a 2014 Wolfsburg GTI. What year, model, and hp after did you have? What kind of mods or bolt ons did you have to equip to help relieve the stress of said tube if any?? Any feedback would be amazing.
@@jbac5767 Wolfsburg? Love it! Mine is a '16 MK7 GTI Sport, originally "210" HP (underrated of course). Went APR stage 1 ECU and TCU tune on the 6-speed DSG. That tune has undergone a lot of revision in the past 1-2 years and it's better for it in my experience. 290 HP and 320 ft/lb is the latest crank figure on **87** grade fuel! I stick to that due to 91 ACN regional gas which causes the ECU to pull timing shown in logs. However, ran the 323 HP crank, 91 tune ran just fine with new intercooler, charge pipes, inlet pipe, turbo muffler delete, and high-flow drop filter. A lot of stuff for stage 1, right?! Your fuel might be better, by a lot. APR now has a fuel info page stating E85 might be an option IF your logs show fuel trims in range. An E30 blend put me on knock-free 380 ft-lb high torque stage 1 territory. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
@@john_dee1431 Goodness!! Yea I'm lucky eith the Wolfsburg simply becuase it was produced in the Wolfsburg factory itself and everything is in German so the car has stood up even with my little bit of negligence. The car came with an INJEN CAI. I've done nothing else to the car because I know you must be specific when modifying a VW eapecially. I run 91 at all times and it's been good. The car feels surprisingly powerful for only having the intake and MAYBE 190 to the wheels. It's a 6 spd so I'll lose time there but I don't race or rag my car at all. I only get on it hard maybe once a week to keep it somewhat fresh. I look forward to tuning it one day and of now I'm simply doing research and asking around. Thank you for your feedback!
I'm jealous of that extra gear
Technically, you just need to put the trans into Sport mode and turn off traction control to do launch control. Race isn't required, but the firmer dampers probably help with weight transfer.
I see it chilling up there.
Thanks for the video, Charles. Have you noticed any changes in fuel economy stock vs stage I tune?
Pretty close to the same. Well maybe a little lower but that’s the driver. Haha
Entertaining video!
Hi Charles, great looking car. I can relate to how excited you were. Have you thought about installing a catch can? If no, why not? Thanks
Thanks! I’ve been kicking around the CC. I haven’t landed on one I’m super excited about yet
TCU tune is the best bang for the buck with these DSGs. The stock tune is pretty bad unless you drive it in manual mode all the time. I opted for the TVS stage 2+ stealth TCU tune and it's been a game changer. Pulled my JB4 for warranty purposes, prob will tune it after the warranty expires in 5 years
I know this post is one year old..but never heard of a stealth tcu tune. That's Impossible
Damn, I wish I would have jumped on a spektrum color. Love this color, Irish green, Chili pearl. Still love my lapiz blue. I hope you hold onto this car.
Winston Salem!! Wait what? So when I get my new golf R at the end of this year, I might need to get in touch with you 😅
Thanks Charles
Love the channel!!! After some time with IE, how are you loving the tune?
Love it. I think there is a newer software I need to load 😂
@@HumbleMechanic Beautiful! I am gonna do the low torque upgrade for my GTI. I have a DSG. Love your channel btw. One of my faves.
A tune will also get rid of some catalytic converter strategy to cool or heat cat to stay in operation temp.. and get rid secondary O2 sensor values and secondary air pump. While keeping cat heat protection.
WOOOHOOOHOOOO DOGGIE!! Sweet vid Charles! Flying Yellow Banana Golf R south style! Joy! oh and shhh youre going to go stage 2....3?????? lmao!
😜😜
I recently installed IE on my mk7 gti, boy did it wake up on stage 2
Getting a stage 1 tune on my Scirocco this weekend. Really excited.
is it any good, do you recommend
Hey Charles - great video. Just purchased a brand new 7.5 final addition R with DSG. Low torque vs High torque TUNE .... Does the DSG tune cause accelerated wear of the wet clutch packs ? and if so how do you explain this to the VW dealership ?
Convinced! I want a Golf R now .😍
can we get a discount code for ie tunes?!?!? great vid man! Also, do you have to get a air intake if you run this tune? I didn't see it recommended for APR or unitronics tunes
amazing video!!! high torque = aftermarket clutch?? I know you're running a DSG but just curious.
I had to get rid of my 2009 GLI , stage 1 tune and i miss it so. I'm looking at getting a used 8v A3 Quattro. I want Haldex and the sweet tuning potential. The MQB platform can be argued as the best modern vehicle architecture.
I would love a golf R as my next ride. 70 yr old British guy on youtube put on an upgraded turbo from turbo technics on his Golf R and got nearly 600 hp. I was a little disappointed at the low improvements to the R from IE. I have a 2014 GLI and used a Unitronic stage 1 tune. It increased to nearly 50 hp and 90 tq. When I looked at the getunitronic.com website they don't have a Golf R upgrade available yet - but you should look into that in the future. I think Unitronic is better than APR, not too familiar with IE or Cobb.
I got the same shift paddles, love them
Sick!
Awesome video! I've been thinking of going with the IE stage one tune for my CC. This seals the dal for me! Thanks for posting this! BTW, would a simple trickle charger work or do I need something bigger?
The trickle charger is probly enough. I prefer something with more juice. But that’s what I used
You'll love it!
@@IEtuned Hey Follow up question for you all. Do you all have a DSG tune for the 2016 Volkswagen CC?
I just thought... "hmm, when is he gonna tune that baby...?" opened YT, there it is! ❤️😍
Excited for more! ❤️ **insert racecar-emoji here**
YAASSSSS

Wicked! Thanks for sharing Brotherman! I just bought the 2019 VW Tiguan for the Wife. Any Idea if there is a Tune available for it as well?
They just started releasing tunes.
JB4 for the 2.0T B-cycle.
More then enough for the wife.
Besides you want your 6/72k warranty on the Tig.
love the racing yellow
Me too! It turns out it’s 1/13 in the US
Hi Charles I enjoy your video! In January I got a new 2021 Gti. Can this also be done with a stock Gti? I guess my question is, can I do the tune with its stock parts or do I need to purchase other parts? Also will this tune remove the governor that's limiting it from going past 125mph? In Germany/autobahn these cars hit speeds of 259 kph or 161mph. Just want to get your feedback please! I really appreciate it! Thank you kindly!!
Nice! Can't wait to go stage 1 for my R.
Did your R come with the performance monitor? My car seems to be missing that function...
It did. I think they just released a service action to turn them on. Call the local dealer and have them run your VIN!
