GTI Edition 40 / Clubsport Thread

Info/link on the map? Does it get rid of the silly-boost function?

APR would have he map as it is an R engine, so there's no real development to do.

I got 3.99% from VW finance. Tried for 2.8% but it did not apply the 40th.

Oh what that's an awesome deal. I didn't even get to that stage as they had already sold it to someone else.

I don't know. In terms of engine potential/capabilities yes they're the same obviously but the Clubsport's silly-boost needs to be ditched for sure and anything suiting the AWD power delivery would have to be adapted for the FWD. A Cupra 290 remap seems closer to the Clubsport's map.

All the manuals are MY17

Mirror and lockless glovebox handle MY17 updates.

here is the link to the APR software update - there is some interesting commentary about the high torque version and the standard clutch maybe not being up to the job - anyone here had any experience with the standard clutch not handling an extra ~100NM of torque?

The DQ250 DSG clutches are generally considered to be good for 500-550Nm as long as you're not driving like a tool 24/7 (and even if you are there's a good chance they'll still be fine). The manual clutch is more susceptible to wear depending on your driving style, but if you're careful and not brutal it'll comfortably withstand stage 1 torque (and stage 2). A sufficiently-poor driver will have no trouble burning out a stock clutch on a stock car in no time.

From what I've seen in forums DSG has been fine up to at least stage 2. Manuals have reported some clutch slip even with stage 1 on the GTI.

Sorry AdamD I have to agree with ringo, a lot of the reports I've seen is to the same effect - the manual clutch isn't really able to handle the Stage 1 tune long-term. Hence why APR offers a low-torque Stage 1 tune. There's no reason to offer a low torque tune unless you're frying clutches!
