    Hi looking at getting an Alltrack but would love some extra HP, would get a Type R but you cant get it with a towbar. Has anybody had any experience with tuning? My problem is partially because all my previous cars have had huge horsepower and I am finding everything I drive feels slow. I am getting this next car under Instructions from a higher power as my wife does not want our daughter being taught to drive in my current car. Thanks in advance.

    Look in the tuning area - there should be plenty of options.

    You realise that while you can teach your daughter on a modded car, once she starts driving the car has to be unmodified (more or less). I'm teaching my daughter to drive at the moment and when she finally gets her licence I'll have to take the tune off my car for her to be legal.

    Personally, i think they should learn in the biggest, most powerful car possible so they know what happens when you give it some squirt.

    My current car has over 280kW at the wheels and one must tread very gently or all hell breaks loose (its lots of fun) my son drove it on his L's but I can see where she is coming from. My son now has to make do with his Mazda 6 hatch (stock).

    There seems to be a lot on the GTi but not the 1.8L 132TSI engine in the tuning area.

    I've got the original EA888 1.8L BZB block. A generic hand controller Bluefin tune brings it from 118kw to mid-130s and around 310-320nm.

    For the Gen3 EA888 you probably need install at the workshop. I'd think mid-150s and around 350-370Nm?

    Give DNA tuning a call - they might have something

    I realise the alltrack reverse camera doesn't show the dynamic steering line.
    That's weird. Aren't they the same other golf?
    Misses been driving my car and got used to it. She really want those lines.

    Why not a golf R wagon?
    With a tune, it's faster than lots of cars on the road.

    Cant have a towbar on the R Wagon, otherwise I would. That was my first choice, same with the Audi S3 seems all the fun cars cant have towbars.
