dude I just got an mk8 and I LOVE IT its so fun with just a tune and intake to smoke stupid people who don't understand power to weight because my lord this thing is a feather
I have a 2021 gli s not the same car but volkswagen did a really good job on making a fun fast daily car. For my first car the price to performance is really good thanks for the video 👍🏽.
Ya, but there is a cshhh, pause, cshhh sound just before the solid air sound of the intake comes in. It happens when I am accelerating just like at 1:40 when you were turning. Just wondering if that is also the intake
Just a question if you don't mind. Planning to buy a mk8 gti it was built 12/20 so early 2021 model. it got a stage 1+ (324hp and 462nm) and a dsg stage 2 tune. It had it for around 12k miles now and planning to buy it. Do you recommend buyting a tuned car or?
@@Slipperystick73 034 tunes give you extra overrun burbles where stock might only get you 1 or 2 pops. Still behaves just like stock though. Burbles stop after 3 or 4 (unless you keep feathering the throttle lol).
@@mrjkstark Hey there! Yeah, I live in Aubrey, but just north of 380. I’m always around the Aubrey/Frisco/Little Elm/Prosper mix. Work in Dallas. Got my car from Hendricks in Frisco!
@@bmw_for_life8902 Not a bad idea to save up for one. I’ve seen plenty of people say their stock clutches are holding up fine, but you just never know how things are going to go! 👍🏼
Wow, that’s super farty. I could embrace it when winding it out to high rpm, but it’s burping and popping on even gentle shifts-seems way over the top. Is that just a function of the 034 Stage 1 tune? I’d be inclined to look for a “less teenager” one if that’s the case.
The farting on upshifts is just natural DSG behavior. Now for the burbles and pops when downshifting or off throttle, the tune itself adds a few extra compared to just getting one or so while stock. The nice thing about the tune is, I can have the pops completely turned off when set to “custom” driving mode if I prefer 👍🏼
@@rjbaldwin_ I wouldn’t mind a few (I’ve got a Mk8 manual gearbox), but that was out of control. It begs for a slider and I’d dial it back 90%, but not fully off :-).
Fortunately 034 will work with you and can provide a tune w/o the added overrun crackles and keep the factory style pops in place! It can be tailored that way if you request it 🙂
Definitely consider it from time to time. I just don’t want to run straight E85 all the time as my daily. Maybe when 034 gets a flex fuel setup going 🤭
@@andresmattos7541 I can totally understand that mindset. I’m still trying to hang onto my youth I guess and prefer a little added drama to my boring daily commute 😂
67 years old have stage1 mk7.5 and it runs better tuned over 40 mpg on highway cars is no louder than before and it’s faster by a lot 120 thousand miles not one problem
I understand where you’re coming from. I love driving manuals too! But you can’t knock it ‘til you try it. A tuned DCT is proper quick and the DSG’s are really good at that. Glad I finally gave them a shot 🙂

I have a gti myself and am wondering what that higher pitched airy sound is at 1:40 just at the acceleration part of the turn.
@@rabbit9374 That’s the sound of the intake sucking in air my friend!
Even on a stock one like mine?
@@rabbit9374 That IS interesting. Stock intake is really quiet in comparison.
Ya, but there is a cshhh, pause, cshhh sound just before the solid air sound of the intake comes in. It happens when I am accelerating just like at 1:40 when you were turning. Just wondering if that is also the intake
Did you change intercooler and intake as well? which Milltek exhaust is it? sounds really good, stock tires and rims?
@@TheGTIguy upgraded intake, stock intercooler, Milltek Race exhaust, still on original stock tires and on VW Prisma wheels.
Do u have an exhaust? Nice video keep it up!
@@Joefishin87 Thanks! I have a system from Milltek!
Considering going this way on my stock 23 gti dsg. Question, are there any other required modifications if doing this tune?
@@mikecollins2388 Stage 1 doesn’t require any hardware upgrades. You can run the tune on stock hardware just fine.
@ Thanks! Are you using 87 octane with tune?
@@mikecollins2388 91/93 octane is the minimum required

Reference my reply to your comment on my other video 👍🏼
@@xtoxicxskorpion5848 wonder if it’s the new turbo there using or if the car is tuned differently from the factory for the increase in power (stock)
@@RB12377 What do u mean?
It’s that’s factory overrun burbles? Or stage 1 give you that ?

Where u get ur tune 034 at and how much was it
@@ismaelruiz7240 Ordered from BMP Tuning and picked up locally from them. I think it’s right around $800 for the tune + Bluetooth dongle/cable.
Thank u so much
The base model is the best in my opinion just cuz we got some volume knobs 😂
@@Stoneymk8 the money saved between S and SE trims went straight to mods too! And no leaky sunroof 😂
@@rjbaldwin_ straight to stage 1😂
SE has gotten expensive. I have had three Mk6,7,7.5, and now an 8. Prices keep climbing.
