Beautiful car!! I wish we got those here in the US, but my regular MK7 GTI has been great so far. I really love the wheels. Does anyone know what brand/model they are? Can’t wait to slowly upgrade mine. I think a dogbone upgrade is a must here soon.
@@exothermal.sprocket Hey man! I think it depends on the wheels. I know Apex states big brake clearance for their 17” wheels, but my 17” RPF1’s barely fit PP brakes. They fit just fine over my standard brakes but we’re really tight over the previous owners PP calipers.
@@dylanellis6264 Sounds like it's a matter of staying off the limit with 17's. Personally I really don't like the ride quality in 18's as it's kind of unforgiving, harsh, noisy. It's more of a style exercise with 18's or greater in my opinion.
I made 580 whp E85 on my stage 3 set up with Hybrid Vortex XL turbo on mk7 GTI. Upgthe Tires plus that’s not a performance package those don’t have e electric limited slip differential.
Awesome video. Is there any news in the tuning of the S3 (8Y) yet? Still got 2 years of warranty left on my Oct 2020 bought one but might say screw it!
How can it be safe to numb knock sensors? Even if the ecubox isnt part of the natural ecu? Knock is still knock isnt it? Wont numbing the sensors allow more knock to occur unchecked?
It's my guess that the factory knock sensor tolerance is set very low, in other words, the sensors send knock information back to the ECU, and the ECU is set to respond to that information at a threshold. That threshold is probably extremely conservative for reasons VW has stipulated, and probably set to very low limits leaving a decent amount of adjustment between OEM setting and the point where engine failure could occur.
Great vid! I can't wait till I can afford something like this lol. Mk5 is so quirky 😅 but I'm wondering, why are you using an insert rather than void free mounts and upgraded pendulum? Would seem better 🤔 And any plans on doing a true lsd?
Thank you , I hope you get one soon I’ve had golf’s since the mk2 ,This has been from a tuning box to stage 3 - so an insert is the easiest fastest option and it seems to be doing the job instead of throwing out £500 worth or engine and gearbox mounts , and either the true LSD - I’m not sure I know enough about it myself but as of factory spec the TCR has a LSD fitted
@@London-united-kingdom well depending on the mounts (and if 034 still makes any) the void free I got from 034 were only like $70. And I wish I had lsd in mine! Spins wheels like it's on ice, no matter what tires I use lol

I’m assuming it’s a premade tune or a piggyback system, and the knock sensor detects detonation of the engine if the thing is misfiring or knocking from detonation the sensor pulls things back and usually goes into limp in mode.
Wicked to see this. Out of interest, what would something like this cost for a 7.5 GTI, non PP? Already got a list of mods would just need turbo fuel pump and down pipe (and mapping)
It’s had gearbox tune also - where he talks about clamping pressure , but I let motorsport and performance answer your question as they would be better at explaining both your questions mate
@@atefm6 There's no trickery. It's simply a supplemental electronic device designed to manipulate the stock ECU into running a non-stock output. It's changing sensory feedback to alter stock parameters. "Tricking" is a lame piece of terminology people have used for lack of more technical explanations. The best way is to actually change stock parameters. If no one in the aftermarket has the computerized know-how to reprogram OEM computer systems to run altered parameters, the only option is to run supplemental tuning boxes, which basically piggyback onto stock computers.
How can it pass MOT ? If it’s had GPF deleted? Want to get mine done but found out that it won’t pass MOT if I put a high flow Cat Downpipe on it !! really disappointed ☹️
Knock sensor desensitization actually is really bad! Any slight continuous knock will destroy that engine over short to mid life span. Been in this boat before and dealt with tuners who want to chase the numbers by lowering the knock sensitivity… worst thing you can do is
Ive had my octavia vRS remapped, would you recommend the same mod to reduce wheel hop, or is it not needed for mine being an estate? My cars having remap numbers confirmed next week but hoping for 310ish on the stage one with the turbo elbow upgrade n larger intake pipe.

One does not recoup modification money. Not on cars. Not on motorcycles. Not on much of anything. It's money spent for the reason of enjoyment. Use at your own risk. You might remove those aftermarket parts and attempt to sell them on market as used pieces, and get your factory ECU programmed back to stock parameters. You'll have to keep all the factory hardware (intake, exhaust, turbo, intercooler, filter, factory brakes, and anything else you've added) and attempt to resell on the market as "used condition" parts. Trying to prove they are in good condition will be a tough sell, as people who buy these go-fast parts are usually doing so under the pretense that they are going to exploit that performance and power. The market doesn't really want to buy already-used performance parts. If you want to sell the car with the go-fast parts installed, consider that the buyer is someone looking for an already-modified car, which is very small fraction of the market looking for these cars. That buyer is going to want to know everything about the modifications and know it has been done by someone professional (all the installation receipts and reputations of installers comes into that picture, as well as the mileage before and after installation).

@@quintonnkoane9885 If you've not ridden a motorcycle before, or very little, you'll have to consider the substantial cost of getting into the riding scene. You can do it cheaply, but only if you've a ton of restraint and understand yourself well.

@@izoyt I understand look give me a micra 1.0litre it’s easy to make it look like it’s all over the place and wheelspin etc lol but I know what you mean - honestly they did a great tune in the dry no issues with traction at all and 3 months on not a single issue - I will post some videos summertime I want to take it Santa pod etc , I did have a golf r mk7:5 but everyone was doing it on the R so thought I sell the at and get this and be a little different , and it’s each to their own as everyone likes different cars makes models etc but I’m happy with it :)
Golf R are more expensive, weight more, have less efficient drivetrain (more power lost to the wheels) than the GTI, cost more to insure, use more fuel. All of those things are bogus to the Golf-R shopper but making a comparison is valid. Now compare a 400+ wheel HP GTI to a 260+ wheel HP heavier R model. Which would you rather?
No your wrong about tuning boxes your only saying theyre bad because it justifies your business , by baffling people about knock and timing etc you are actually wrong because a good tuning box runs in conjunction with the own cars factory ecu where it still allows all the safety systems to function to protect the engine from damage via the factory ecu monitoring systems , so if the car has any knock problems the factory ecu management will intervein and adjust the knock sensor accordingly aswell as any other safety issues like timing , or overboost etc , the factory ecu programming is still fully intact unlike when you do a tune and you practically wipe the ecu of all its factory peramiters and safety managemnt that has been carefully installed by germans who dont want any warranty issues , and rewrite the ecu with your own programming which elliminates the safety monitoring and puts the engine at risk of missing these safety measures . The only thing a tuning box does is manipulates the boost signal requesting more all within the paramiters of the original factory ecu software and adjusts the timing and fuel accordingly whilst the factory ecu manages knock etc , or else mangement lights and fault codes would be be an issue and the car wouldnt drive . We have ran golf GTIs displaying live data and there are no issues with this at all , they are an awesome easy risk free safe as hell factory ecu warranty retaining peice of software which easily gets the same gains as a stage 1 tune all running safely with the factory ecu safety systems .
Sorry mate genuinely don’t have Instagram - but I do use my girlfriends sometimes if you give me yours I add you to hers , But if you have any questions or anything happy to answer as much as I can /know
Thanks very much to MAP for modifying my golf TCR they’ve done an amazing job , I’m sure I be back soon to turn the boost up hahaha

@@izoyt I understand look give me a micra 1.0litre it’s easy to make it look like it’s all over the place and wheelspin etc lol but I know what you mean - honestly they did a great tune in the dry no issues with traction at all and 3 months on not a single issue - I will post some videos summertime I want to take it Santa pod etc , I did have a golf r mk7:5 but everyone was doing it on the R so thought I sell the at and get this and be a little different , and it’s each to their own as everyone likes different cars makes models etc but I’m happy with it :)
@@London-united-kingdom fair point. i no doubt car is great fun.
just get a golf r
Have you got a golf R ?
Golf R are more expensive, weight more, have less efficient drivetrain (more power lost to the wheels) than the GTI, cost more to insure, use more fuel. All of those things are bogus to the Golf-R shopper but making a comparison is valid.
Now compare a 400+ wheel HP GTI to a 260+ wheel HP heavier R model. Which would you rather?
1.8bar and u call it base file🤐🤐🤐🤐
Good power, good tuning, rotten exhaust note.
Cheers yeah that’s why it got changed to a Milltek resonated haha 😂
@@London-united-kingdom Hahahaha Reminds me of this video: /watch?v=ieJUP9O9RG8
Good luck getting the power down under 100kph 🤣
Honestly I don’t know why people think it’s hard to put the power down I’ve had no issues putting power down
Post a 0-100kph dragy slip. In Aus you’d be lucky to hit 5 secs
@@Famous_Flavours I’ll post some videos summertime for sure get 0-60 100-200 and 0- v max
No your wrong about tuning boxes your only saying theyre bad because it justifies your business , by baffling people about knock and timing etc you are actually wrong because a good tuning box runs in conjunction with the own cars factory ecu where it still allows all the safety systems to function to protect the engine from damage via the factory ecu monitoring systems , so if the car has any knock problems the factory ecu management will intervein and adjust the knock sensor accordingly aswell as any other safety issues like timing , or overboost etc , the factory ecu programming is still fully intact unlike when you do a tune and you practically wipe the ecu of all its factory peramiters and safety managemnt that has been carefully installed by germans who dont want any warranty issues , and rewrite the ecu with your own programming which elliminates the safety monitoring and puts the engine at risk of missing these safety measures . The only thing a tuning box does is manipulates the boost signal requesting more all within the paramiters of the original factory ecu software and adjusts the timing and fuel accordingly whilst the factory ecu manages knock etc , or else mangement lights and fault codes would be be an issue and the car wouldnt drive . We have ran golf GTIs displaying live data and there are no issues with this at all , they are an awesome easy risk free safe as hell factory ecu warranty retaining peice of software which easily gets the same gains as a stage 1 tune all running safely with the factory ecu safety systems .
