How to achieve DSG farts in Octavia RS?

[dArK5HaD0w]

How much did the APR exhaust cost? Did you also get an ECU tune at the same time?

What is a DSG tune? What's the benefit?

Cheers

i had stage 1 ecu from yonks ago.
getting the apr downpipe comes with a stage 2 tune. u have to get the ecu retuned with an aftermarket dp, regardless of what brand it is.
the apr exhaust is on the pointy end, costing 2.5k. that includes downpipe, catback, tune and fitting.

As for the dsg tune, it:-
- modifies the torque limiter & capacity to 500nm.
- modifies Drive mode for better driveability. doesn't keep changing its mind about which gears to select. holds them better.
- modified Sports mode for better useability. doesn't hold on for too long, and makes sports mode actually fun to drive. u should hear the downshifts when combined with the apr exhaust!!
- faster shift times. i really haven't noticed this.
- clutch shudder reduced. never had the issue before the tune, nor do i have it now, so i can't comment.
- less clutch slip, hence longer life for gearbox and clutch packs.

If i'm to do it again, I'll simply replace the stock resonator with either 12 or 18 inch stainless/ceramic pack resonator, depending on your sound volume preference.

If you do it again, i can recommend the AdrenalinR range of resonators and mufflers from NZ. I purchased a custom 10" long resonator (4" body diameter and 3" pipe) to use on my Golf R's aftermarket downpipe and it was beautifully made, and all stainless steel inside and out.

This is what you want if you drive with, and without company (family) - a switchable one.

just keep in mind a catback section designed for a golf will NOT fit an octavia. mk5 or mk6 golf, doesn't matter.
u need one designed for a jetta.

the apr one i got is designed for a mk5 jetta.

downpipe alone - golf/jetta will both work for an octavia.

not a perfect fit according to this thread?

Never said perfect.
It will work after adjusting the length of the dp.

Ok thanks for the clarification.

So this would fit my Mk 2 vRS Octavia Wagon with some length adjustment on the DP? Is that the only adjustment required?

If I was then to return to Stock DP for whatever reason, I assume that means I've stuffed the above purchased DP for future re-sale to anyone other than a Mk 2 vRS?

as we have a baby on the way

I am sure the baby will give you lots of it, whether you like it or not lol.

as per your link to another thread in post #15 above, yes - u'll be limiting future re-sale to only a mk2 octavia, once the dp is shortened to mate with ur stock catback.

Is this possible on a diesel?
