Tuned the 2017 MK7 GTI w/ Cobb Accessport
Вставка

- It took me forever to make this decision about which tune I wanted to run on Project MK7. I can honestly say that the best choice for me was Cobb which offers so many convient features that are useful to me in most situations!! In this video I explain why the Cobb Accessport was the best choice for Project MK7. But, I ended up having a huge fail at the end of this video!! Watch the video to find out!! Please give this video a thumbs up and don't forget to Subscribe!!!!! Enjoy the video!!!

MARK!!! Not "em kay"
Haha lol. I know its weird i usually say both. lol haha
Thank you idk why but I get *TRIGGERED* when people say “emm kay”
because it is wrong. It's ok to be triggered. I've been a MK7 owner for a year now but I'm starting to feel like MK7 owners are the new MK4 owners were back in the day. I'll always be a MK3 guy at heart though.
@@JR14Channel I have been driving vw's for 20 years. Never understood why people care some much. I say both ways too and don't give two s*&ts if someone doesn't like it. But, I mostly drove Scirocco's up until recently switching to GIT's. I have an EmKay 6 and Mark7. :P
Simple facts are. Stage 1 or above with a manual needs an update with the clutch. DSG gearbox needs a remap after stage 1.
can't go 300hp until you change dat clutch..😔😔😔
absolutely true bro!!! i watch your videos all the time!!! but the next MK7 Project video will be a good and interesting on so stay tuned buddy!!!! and keep making those videos bro!!!!
thanks man i will. can't wait to see what you have next for the MK7.
does TCU upgrade will solve the problem o,o ?
Medic magic is running stock clutch somehow...most can not
Aye I've got a 2018 so I have to wait
Wow. Your thought process is exactly what I’ve gone through before purchasing my Accessport, and also from MAP. I also use a Mac as my main computer and before I found out about COBB I was going to go with Eurodyne and getting a cheap netbook or something.
Saw your car on I95 this past Saturday near New Rochelle I think, waved and then saw your UA-cam stickers, I was on the Red MK7 GTI. Looking good there , nice car.
I'm on JB4 I was on JB1 beforehand my car is almost 3 years old with more than 15k on JB1/4 with no slip on my clutch, early build car, I'm sure that I'll need a new clutch down the road, I have my JB4 on the most aggressive map so it is just the matter of time. The stock clutch is not designed to handle all that torque and is not even the clutch itself but the pressure plate that is weak
MiniBX YES!!! i remember seeing you on the highway. That GTI was mint!!! Im trying to get the LED taillights for an affordable price and I'm very interested to see if you are on coilovers or springs. I do know you have spacers because you are on the stock wheels. Stay tuned for what happens next resolving the clutch issue it should be really good.
JR14 hey, I'm on springs VWR to be specific, I have the ECS flush kit. My LED lights are from Ed's BEC Autoparts, I got them for 500 something I think but if you buy Helix brand ones the are good quality for about 400 or so from OPD auto parts, I can give you a hand installing them because the wire harness can be a pain. Good luck with the clutch
That clutch slip 😭😭
i know smh its an instant feeling of failure but i will correct this soon just stay tuned!!!!!!!
Currently at 300-315hp on my mk7.5 DSG only at 1.3k on the car but no issues just yet🤞🏽
ALSO EQT FTW!
Another great vid man. took me a bit to transition from the Accord to the new car, but I'm still diggin' the vids. Keep it up! 👊
lol thank you for still watching my content even this i got rid of my accord. But there will be some accord flavor in there in the future so just stay tuned!!!!
I love stick shift but the reason I got my mk7 with dsg is because I've read countless stories on forums about how the stock clutch is very weak and can't handle even a stage 1 tune.
well its not "safe" to tune a dsg stage 1 without soms adjustments to..
Chesney Well the torque produced by the tune is what destroys a stock clutch , the DSG can handle torque but limits the amount of torque put to the ground at a certain point like anything more than 330 ft lbs. That's why u have a DSG tune to allow for more torque mainly to be put on the ground also adjusted shift points . But you won't destroy the DSG because of a tune it will be fine , but like in this video a stock clutch won't last long.
Dont depend on others reviews. Its how you drive and manage it. Launching gets you no where but the garage. Know what your car can handle
thrashingjustin right if your doing a lot of hard launches your gonna were out your clutch fast
A stage 2 clutch is just 800 bucks if u got an automatic to save 800 bucks then that’s on you
Cobb off the shelf have been known to end motors
Never had an issue with a Cobb OTS map
Sucks about the clutch. The MK6 is no better when it comes holding up after being tuned. I saved up and went for the South Bend stage 2 daily driver and I love it. The shifts are much more confident and smooth engagement, also the chatter and other nasty noises from single mass flywheel conversions are pretty minimal. It really feels like the clutch that car SHOULD have had at the factory. I went all in with Cobb and installed the intake this past weekend and she's in the shop right now getting the turbo back put in to be ready to flash stage 2! Can't wait to get the call that she's ready!!
Floyd Bennet field. I used to do my logs their with my Speed6 and I was using the Accesport. I will be tuning my GTI with an Accesport as well.
I agree what he is saying. But if you want more power with stage 1 #goAPR . You make around 288whp and like 334wtq compared to Cobb
Dsg ftw 🙌🏻
I was thinking about going with Unitronic but now I’m leaning more towards Cobb 🧐
Yes Yes come over to the dark side!!!!
I’ve had both on my mk7. Cobb OTS is tame. You need to get an stuns from a Cobb tuner for true performance. I was using a solid tuner. Making great power, but response one tubes fell off and updates from one map to another wants from a week to months for map updates. I couldn’t wait that long for results so I sold the AP and went unitronic stage 2 plus dsg tune. Very happy.
Tunes. Sorry damn spellcheck.
@@rogers8555 I ended up getting cobb for my mk7 as well.
How much extra HP did the stage 1 give you?
I just tuned my 16’ GTi PP with Cobb V3 stage 1 93 octane. I love it so far. You persuaded me. Thank! My concern is I’m worried about voiding my warranty now :( what’s the diff between stage 1 vs stage 1+
Awesome!!! I’m telling you bro you will not regret it. Have fun and enjoy the higher power goodness
Does Cobb stage 1 void warranty????? Also if u decide to put back to factory spec can the dealer tell the car was flashed?
Yes they can tell.
I've been over 300HP for several months now. I feel like my time is running out quick.
Still alive?
@@kyledukes49 lmao
@@jerryg1363 for real, any issues?
Stock HP on a MK7 is 210-220 BTW but nice video, I have a MK6 and just installed a Cobb accessport and my stock clutch started slipping pretty bad. I install a stage 2 clutch yesterday. Now I have the dredded 500 mile break in period.
no wonder you blew the crank your shifting past 6.... dont you notice the red. The power also comes on at 2500 prm then really drops at 5500. Your in the range with least power and its the range that damages your car....
commenting years later cause im finally getting my gti tuned with cobb in 2 days :D saw your crank failure so i got the fluidampr with my stage to smf clutch. Thanks for the vids bro
The redline is raised once you tune the car. And crankwalk doesn’t occur by high revs of the car. It happens based on two thrust bearings being pushed out based on a heavier clutch.
@@JR14Channel unno about the higher revs comment for the cobb tune stage one The site shows the drop off in power 5500.... go look at the dyno map on there site
Also did you ever rock a SMF clutch i got the dkm stage 2 smf clutch i think you kept the DMF style
Cobbs ots maps are meant to be very specific. If the tune they make is stage 1 +, the intake they are tuned for is theirs. They are accounting for the extra air that remains inside the air box. No airbox means the tune is wrong for your car. Also any mods outside of the ots tunes parameters requires custom tune
casey hoffman Interesting. I reached out to COBB about wanting to use the Stage 1+ tune with my VWR intake and they said there would be no issues...
6MT owner to 6MT owner....I would say work on you're engagement mane lol Took me awhile to learn but I figured it out our release point is pretty high at the top so just give it more gas haha. But great video! Bump these DSG fools that are missing out on controlling their a car.
I believe that i figured it out at this point. But one of the major concerns was the the stock clutch feel on the VW GTI is very numb no feeling at all
DSG is great ! But manual is where the real driving is at ! Check the rsr clutch kit for better performance and comfort unless you wanna make your gti a pure track racing car then check out south bend clutches
so got me a COBB AP after watching this video...really nervous about the clutch but hopefully it'll hold since I'm only Stage 1 with no boltons as yet. Quick question though, what mount are you using? I have vent clip mount that's sitting on the driver side vent but that cable is a pain in the butt to manage and would like to mount the AP a bit higher.
@JR14, I have mirrored most of your early upgrades. I remember you mentioning a "flutter" during heavy acceleration in one of your early videos shortly after going stage 2??? I was just wondering if you ever found out what that was as i am experiencing it as well after going stage 2. I would love your input, thanks!
Can I use stage 1.5 without a DP?
Nice bro keep it up!
Thank you homie will do!!!!!
Couldn’t imagine needing to buy a whole clutch kit for just a flash tune. Great job VW
It's quite sad but it's very true and costly lol
Honest question - how many years have you been driving a manual trans? Just curious. Thanks for the review of the AP, nice video - I am just about convinced.
I have been driving a manual for years but this is my first manual vehicle that i have owned. But get the Cobb Accessport you won't be disappointed
JR14 lol no. This is your first time driving a manual. And no. Apr is the way to go
JR14 have you been heel toe rev matching?
you can pickup a pc laptop for $50-$100 on Craigslist or Microcenter or Ebay, and you'd have access to more options.
Can i use stage 1 cobb with a stock mk7 gti, no upgrades at all? so basically just running the gti on the cob stage 1 with nothing else, thanks bro love the vids
The least you would have to have an intake or a higher flow drop in air intake filter.
Cobb is better all around. You can pro tune easily. I plan to go cobb stage 3 then go is38 with pro tune
You could hear the clutch slip throughout the video
JR14 you mentioned the Cobb 2015 2016 Will not work with 2017 GTI did it go V3 at that point with DSG options.
I think VW makes the stock clutches so weak to prevent crankwalk
If they didn’t use plastic the crank wouldn’t walk and the clutch wouldn’t have to be weak
Noticed the clutch slipping stra ight away
Really love your videos man. In your opinion do u think that a ford focus st stock would be any better than a stock gti?
Andi Veseli I test drove the st its a sweet handling car. Can't comment on gti because I haven't driven one. From all the researching ive been doing it sounds like the st feels a bit sportier and the gti is more refined. Gti is a few ticks faster to 60mph. Test drive both see how they feel to you
Man just said m k 7 boy
Does stage 2 bypass the second o2 sensor and prevent the dreaded CEL with aftermarket downpipes?
Yes there are two ways to ensure the elimination of the check engine light. 1. is to add an O2 sensor spacer on the aftermarket downpipe but this method is not guaranteed to eliminate the check engine light. 2. would be to refresh the car with a stage 2 tune.
Stock clutches on the mk7 are super weak. Its not an uncommon issue at all lol. Everyone I know with a stick mk7 got rid of stock clutch even before tuned its so bad.
dsg ftw
i have a dsg. is it more safe to tune it?
I have a stage 2 dsg tune its fine. Theres people making over 500 stock dsg. maybe clutch pack upgrade. you will be fine
Idk how muhmch you guys get but in belgium stage 1 goes to 300hp (protune) , i can keep it all stock then? Wow.
I have a stage 2 flash so about 330 wheel. The stock dsg is really strong unless you plan on building your motor the dsg can handle more than the stock motor can take.
didnt know that. thanks !
Where are you getting your numbers from? I am curious about how much boost the car runs stock because the boost gauge in the car is def not correct. It says I push well over 25 psi which I know can't be correct for a stock car. You mention that the car has 260 whp with the stock map. Idk where you got that number from because I am pretty sure they have 210 or 220 for the pp (probably crank) from factory. I dont know if you meant your tune now has 260 whp on the stage 1 map and 285 whp on the stage 1+ map. Really interested in hearing more about this and what you are going to do about the clutch. From all of my research it seems like the clutch is the weak point of these cars. But its still better than driving an auto all the time lol.
lol i did say that. I meant 260-280 whp with the stage 1+ OTS Cobb
TeddyWestside412 you will be around 10-12 with a peak of 15psi
Bruh windows laptops are pretty cheap for the specs needed to tune. If you go that route and learn to tune , dam your gti would be even more beast
Can you flash it back to stock?
Hey Marvin thank you for watching! Yes that is one of the great things that i love about the Cobb Accessport is that with a touch of a button, i can flash my car back to stock if need be.
@JR14 - What part are you using to make the turbo blow-off that audible from the interior? I'm looking to do the same thing, but from my understanding, VW have engineered the diverter valve so that it recycles some of the pressure and am weary that messing with it could create a loss in boost.
Thanks and great videos!
Any open intake filter will do that. Closed systems limit the amount of spool you can hear. If you want that sound without swapping your DV, get an open (ram air) intake like Injen, IE, Neuspeed, etc. ecstuning.com has plenty of options.
Would a stock box with snow guard delete and drop in aFe filter do that?
Do you need a stage 2 clutch to just go with the stage 1 tune? I eventually want to go stage 2 and ik I’ll need to change clutch but what about for stage 1
To be honest, I would recommend getting the clutch first before you start adding power mods because the clutch will wear out a lot faster if you drive aggressively like me haha
JR14 I don’t drive my car that hard. I drive it as a responsible daily but when I beat on it is like once a week lmao not even and I live in tight roads and barely use higheay
+Brayton Willerval oh ok gotcha then you might be able to get away with doing a stage one without upgrading the clutch for a little while
Hi bro I wanted to tell you i bought the cobb v3 for my golf r 2015 but the problem is my car is WM so it's different than USA which is Usdm so my device has only stage 1 98 / 95 octane fuel and I want stage 2 so can you help me to have stage 2 in my device 🙏
what piece are you using to attach it to your windshield?
Here is the link for it right here! amzn.to/2EvL1ck
I'm thinking about getting the stage 1 + only thing I did to my mk7 is borla exhaust package so can I only use of the shelf stage 1 flash then or all the way up 2 stage 4 on the flash even if its only 1 ?
Well let me ask you this question in that Borla exhaust package, did you change the downpipe as well or is it just a catback? If you also changed the downpipe, then you would have to have a stage 2 tune so that you won't get a check engine light. If you just did a catback exhaust then you can stay at Stage 1 or Stage 1+
Also I would not recommend doing any other advanced tunes unless you have all of the components to run everything! If you end you going to Stage 3 or Stage 4 Off the Shelf maps without the required hardware first you will risk causing major damage to the motor even possibly blowing the motor or the turbo
@@JR14Channel just the cat ack not a down pipe so sounds like u will go 93 + then thanks for the info dont want to take risk and hurt my dsg transmission or motor
I wanna do stage 1 with a downpipe and intake... you think that’d work out? I’m new to VW’s as I jus bought this GTI😂 but what gains can I see from that ?
killer_vette go with apr better HP and their parts are really good quality
, I have mk7 with carbon fiber intake, DP- catted exhaust all from APR OF COURSE NO FUCING MUFFLERS but I’m happy with everything I have although the exhaust from APR is a bit waste of money cuz it’s a 1k but everything gonna sounds good u are not experiencing with straight pipes for me they sound loud but shit anyway it’s all depends on the personal preference... APR is great and high end quality and I recommend it
APR is a good company to go with if you want great, reliable power. The reason why I did a different route was because I was going to go a different route with the build
So after a year. Would you buy this again or go Unitronic?
To be honest i would most likely go this route again! Nothing wrong with Unitronic at all and it's definitely a good feeling tune after driving JSMK7's GTI but, for me I like the functionality of the Cobb Accessport!
Im in the same boat, I have a mk6 with the full cobb stage 2 package. It would slip the clutch slightly in 6th gear SOMETIMES when it was stage 1+, but now that im stage 2, it basically will slip 4th-6th gear. Not quite as bad as your clutch slip though.
Yea my clutch slip is pretty bad sadly but stay tuned for the update on the GTI. New video coming out soon!
would cobb work on my 1.8t tsi?
How has your reliability been? Would you get the Cobb over JB1 or JB4? It's coming time for me to purchase my GTI, so far I just know what color I want not the model though😂
I would go with cobb because its a true tune unlike JB1 or JB4 which are basically piggybacks. This way you do get the full potential of what this car can really do!!
Apr
Keenan Roberts true vw heritage. Apr. dont waste your time on cobb
JR14 true flash tune is apr or revo but not this shit called cobb
thrashingjustin Cobb bad? Convince me lol, I’m open to either. Why should I get APR
Can you run stage1+ with drop in filter?
Yes you should have no issues tuning it with that at all!
do they make these for the 2019 gti's?
I believe so. To be sure, I would contact the Cobb headquarters and ask them that question so that they can give you the most accurate information.
I’m seeing all these comments about a bad clutch on the mk7. Is it the Same issue with the mk6...?
Yes Volkswagen is notorious for clutch slippage after you add a power to them. the flaw is usually not in the clutch itself but it usually in the pressure plate.
Will the tune effect the warranty or can you just flash it back to stock
If your car is tagged as TD1, you are fudged--no warranted repairs of the engine or transmission for you! If you flash it back, your risks MAY be lower.
Edward Reiss there is no sense to flash back: once you replaced ecu software vag scan tool will report td1 to vw!
I have heard that, and heard the opposite. Since I have never tried I cannot give an answer from my experience. How much is an ECU though? In that case, you could just swap out an ECU. (It is probably a lot of scratch.) Anyway, if your goal is to preserve the warranty, don't tune. :-)
jb4 piggyback will preserve the warranty.
Edward Reiss no matter what have you heard. just research how td1 flagging works and you will be 100% sure.
What part of NYC r u from?
Ive been on the fence about tuning my MK7 6M, thinking that would happen to me as well. so i feel your pain bro! i definitely dont have the 2grand if that would happen to me :(
hey bro thank you for watching the channel. The MK7 responds extremely well to the tunes but if you aren't prepared to upgrade your clutch right away, i would not recommend you to tune the vehicle because after you watching my video you can see that it would only be a matter of time before the clutch goes.
Yea I been debating whether too or not ever since I bought it. Funny but Deutsche Auto's 6M has over 325hp at the wheels & says he never had a clutch problem smh. I'm going to focus on suspension & maybe a D.P & see where I'm at after that. Can wait to see ur clutch options & definitely the Labor costs for info. All of u guys from Utube have been a big help!
Steeler Guy 43 just throwing this out there but get the clutch upgrade first. saves you time and money. I went through two stock clutches already anything over 250 to 300 you're guaranteed to ruin the stock clutch. I'm currently on the stage 4 BFI clutch kit zero issues on is38 turbo upgrade with the eurodyne is38 file. it's very aggressive and you are guaranteed to get all that torque on the ground. plus allows you to break the clutch in before you start modding the hell out of your car. also look into upgrading the bleeder block. the stock one is junk!
Lilfixor thanx for the info. I can tell your one of the Big Dogs from your lists of mods lol..only if i had the cash I would go all out as well. Just ordered suspension parts Tuesday & saving up for clutch before power upgrades. Curious to know your labor costs for the clutch install?
stage 4 BFI clutch kit with the bleeder block was around $1,100 , then the hard part was trying to find somebody that would even touch my car in Colorado Springs. there is no shop that would touch mk7 modded out so I had to drive up to Aurora and I found a guy with his own shop. for labor only charged me $700 flat and had the car out within 24 hours. I would have done the install myself but it required taking out the subframe and did not have all the proper tools and time to do all that. VW was trying to charge me 3 grand, and would only do the stock clutch, not my BFI kit. mainly due to warranty reasons.
Have you had any trouble at the dealership since tuning the car? Like with voiding the warranty?
Yosef Freyle depends on where you live. I live in Colorado, I had my warranty voided within the first 500 miles. that was with down pipe, stage one eurodyne. and if the dealership says you could install some modifications without voiding warranty make sure you get that in writing!
No not at all. Maintenance has been normal. The dealership that I go to knows I'm tuned but they are pretty chill about it.
I highly doubt stage 1+ is 25psi
Ryan it is bro 😂 I’m peaking at 24 rn stage 1
I consistently hit 24.2 as well
I used to run the stage 1 cobb tune on my GTI with the stock airbox and it got 62 MPG on the highway. I do have a manual, DSG will not be able to achieve this fuel economy but it can still be great.
I installed the FMIC and the Catless downpipe and the other stage 3 mods and put the stage 3 software on it, now I get 24 city and 38 highway.
When you tune it with the accessport, did you realize or hear more pops and crackles?
No so you need to get a protune and work with a tuner to enable that feature!
what does it run in the 1/4 mile thats were u know how fast it is. Ibetits mid 13s. Not really fast
caagan123 runs faster than wat you got
That seems like a pretty big flaw to have the clutch slip in a stage 1 tune, have you reached out to Cobb? Seems they should be limiting tq if clutch can't handle the power
The stock clutch is realllllllly weak its kinda sad. Not Cobbs fault at all. Infact their tune is way less of a difference compared to something like a jb4 or a reflash like apr.
That may be, but I feel like tuners have a responsibility to tune to the limits of the car with something like a stage 1.
I guess yeah but they state that they dont know how long any part will last compared to stock. Getting tuned you understand that risk. Stock mk7s blow their clutch out all the time with people who track them. Also cobbs numbers are like +40 tq with all bolt ons vs like an apr reflash which is over +100tq.
It is pretty common knowledge that manual cars experience clutch slippage at stage 1 power levels
Yeah but some cars have strong stock clutches. Like that stage 3 ttrs a few years ago was like 600hp stock clutch still lmao.
MedicMagic has APR stage 2 with stock clutch still
Yep it also does depend on how you drive and where you drive. Where he lives, he last a lot of backroads and not too much traffic. Where I live in NYC there is a ton of traffic in a daily basis so I would be using the clutch a lot more than he would.
the best tune if your under warranty is apr plus. you maintain your warranty and with apr plus ano zero hardware 100 hp gains
Marcus Zarafonetis 1100 tho...
Also flashing your car to stock doesn't hide the tune...the Ecu will show how many times the ignition has been used... If it shows 1 time they'll know you messed with it
They are not legally allowed to void the warranty unless they can prove what you did directly caused the problem. They cannot not possibly know what you did to it after you flash it back, and there for cannot void it. Trust me I've been through the process lol.
The GTI throws a TD1 flag that specifically states the ECU has been flashed with third party software. If you blow a turbo, pop a piston, or anything that can be suspected to have been caused by any system controlled by the ECU working outside of stock parameters, good luck fighting VW to get repaired.
@@gibmebalut I lost a tow bar cover cap on my new GTI Sport and VW REFUSED to cover that! I raised hell with the owner and they decide to "gift" me a new cap. What A__ holes.
Cobb ots maps aren't that great, but now you have basics for if you ever decide to get custom tune in the future
All I see are 4 door GTis.. I swear I'm the only one in southwestern PA who has a 2 door lol. And why are they only in white??? White and Red ones are prevalent. I've only seen one blue one. They're mean little cars. They shit and git🤣
Yea the 3 doors were only built up until 2016 which makes them extremely rare and desirable.
Your ecu has a flash counter on it so when you take it to the dealer for service they can tell weather or not it has been tuned, even if you returned it to stock. Warranty is toast ... Unless you get a APR tune at the dealer. It is now offered in 2017 at select dealers.
At 3 minutes, pretty sure your clutch is slipping when you went into 3rd.
It was slightly but not as bad as what happened at the end of the video
JR14 time for a clutch!
Three little letter my son.... DSG!!!
i just got the stage 1+ with the intake and got a good offer for it.and do u need a car battery charger just to install the AP?
Should never floor it under 3k, even stock. With cobb your clutch should of held up just fine...
There was very minimal slip in the beginning but it ended up getting worst as i kept driving the car. Stay tuned because the new video is coming out soon of the update of the GTI
Andrew Black
i 100 percent agree with this... with the torque curve of these cars and even more so with a tune and if your looking to prolong the life of the OEM clutch/ pressure plate assembly always roll into power above 3k rpm. Good luck with the clutch upgrade!
Let off the gas when you shift dude I can hear it revving when you shift
I work at vw and I drive a 2016 gti manual and the 2017 and 18s clutch feels a Lot lighter than mine
Y’all should look at sneeky tuned
Currently tuned with EQT and it is absolutely amazing!
JR14 how’s the reliability been?
Just get APR with the mobile sh!t and here u go everything u are saying about the coob stuff
Hey boss where did you grab the extension piece to put on your windshield ?
Actually I bought it off amazon
JR14 would you be able to give me the exact name or product ? Been looking for a good one
First time I ever saw someone grab themselves in a YT video and apparently thought it was cool not to edit it out! WTH
Yeah, I’m not messing with tunes. Been seeing pistons cracking with stage 1 tunes.
how much gains does this give you?
It’s MARK 7! MARK 7! Lol
Mm Kay 7.......
Hahaha
buddy. Its called boot camp......... you can get a cheap window lisence and just run bott camp on your mac..... actually you dont even need a lisence just go download the OS. and run boot camp
vw, and almost every other car company for that matter, is not spending any money on developing manual transmissions anymore. almost all car companies are dumping tons of money on r&d for automatic transmissions. automatics are getting faster while manuals are really becoming a lost art. as a result car companies are dropping new more powerful engines in cars and strapping them to a parts bin manual that really hasn't been thought out because more than likely there is a faster automatic option
i do agree with you with this automatic transmissions are the way of the future and they are extremely good these days. But you cannot get a full engaging experience with an automatic. I just to drive automatics and then when i got my GTI in a manual, the driving experience was absolutely incredible. I felt very connected to the car.
JR14 I agree. I did the opposite as you. every car I've ever owned was a manual until I bought the mk7 just because I knew in this platform the dsg seemed to have the advantage
Riff Raff lol until that service.
True, the DSG can handle the tune.
It's $350.00 at the dealer and if you want to do it yourself, you can.
those off the shelf maps are terrible for the car....
I've heard that before i have had the Cobb Stage 1+ 93 map on the car for awhile now and i haven't had any issues but now I'm running a new map stay tuned new video coming soon regarding what happened to the GTI
I bought my windows comp for 99.99 for my eurodyne and have more power than that cobb.
dont know why they have gti listed at 192 hp and golf r 292 hp cause golf r is performance gti is chepear
David Jean Louis you make no sense
This statement is invalid
unitronic paired with uniconnect + is way better im stage 1 + im pushing 290hp and 350 tq
boostinmk7 ca go apr
boostinmk7 unitronic is crank #s not wheel.. Cobb list wheel numbers.. i know i had unitronic vehicles before
if you beef up the engine power and torque you're gonna need to beef up the rest of the drivetrain if your mashing on it all the time...
adding power is always fun but you have to consider what other consequences come from all that :)
Pls stop driving with no hands dawg your not holding the camera
APR = 316whp vs cobb = 260whp
That’s probably not good for the car brother with stock parts
Andrew Jennings thanks. decided to go with cobb stage 1 with drop in panel filter so i can stay stock clutch and turbo back for now.
brenden coviello nice bro I did the exact same actually. How you liking it? It’s nice

Asking vs aksing
Lol who goes cobb on a mk7? I feel bad
thrashingjustin people who want a custom tune...aka more power than apr
I do...
I live in a small town. Minneapolis is 1.5 hrs away. If I go with APR. I have to go to Minneapolis to re-flash to factory before going in for service then back to Minneapolis to re-flash back to APR. If VW does a update for any reason it would wipe out my APR tune then back to Minneapolis. COBB lets me install myself and return to factory settings prior to dealer visits. Stage 1 COBB doesn't make as much power as APR but COBB does give me more freedom to do what I want.
I do lol. I'm stage 3
Im here trying to get my gti to 400whp and this guy talking about coob , if you don't pro tune that shit with a good tuner coob tunes are trash
