Anyone With a Mk7 Gti PP had it tuned?

[Dutch77]

I think a lot of 'tuners' are spending the extra and jumping up to the R.

I was a tuned Mk6 guy but had no real interest in playing with my Mk7.

Yes I know I drove your tuned Mk6 in a car yard after you traded it! I thought it was quite a good drive good mid range punch, other than the shaky dsg.

Are you in Melbourne like me now?

Ha, yeah that's right. I really loved that car, suspect box notwithstanding..

..especially when shod with the OZ LMs.

Yep, Melbourne now via a stint in Cairns. Fair to say my Mk7 had to be one of the most travelled examples residing in three states in its first year.

So whats the deal now, tired of the mk7 and going to the dark side?

[Dutch77]

Pretty much, although it really stems from the need to drop a car from the garage in the 'big smoke'.

I wouldn't have swapped for an R hatch, but I did toy with hanging for the R wagon but when I broke down what I wanted from my next vehicle there was an easy winner.

Funnily enough given your current ride I did actually toy with an M-Sport kitted 328i but AdamD forbade it.

Got my MK7 GTI tuned a few weeks ago. It's not a PP. I guess you would call it a stage 2 tune with DP. IM more than happy with it. The wheels light up pretty easy, you get used to slowly feeding the throttle. The car definitely moves now.

Is your a Man or dsg?

The 328i would be a snooze-fest, especially stock.

It's DSG.

Hi all,

Got my PP done a couple of months ago, effectively a Stage II (exhaust, CAI, tune). It certainly is quick, but I find it more laggy now. In low speed / high gear situations, you really have to boot it (or use the paddles to change down) to get instant acceleration out of it.

I get a lot of flutter from what im guessing is the wastegate doing its thing, too. You can definitely hear it under load, puffing away.

Also got the VWR springs done, the stance is lovely, but the ride is awful. Im going back to stock springs I think.
