Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[Dutch77]

I'd recommend going resonated if you must do the full exhaust, otherwise you can get away with a non-resonated downpipe usually without an issue.

As tigger73 said the Mk6s would chuck a CEL with the downpipe swap which was coded out on a stage 2 tune. I assume Mk7s would do the same although interestingly exhausts have been available for a lot longer than the tunes generally so either people aren't caring or are managing to avoid the CEL with a spacer that actually works (they rarely did what they were supposed to on the Mk6).

Tubby will call tomorrow and ask them what they did.

Sekas or others with Dsg tune, how has drive ability changed? I'm starting to get annoyed at being in 6th at 60-65km/h and don't want to be driving around in manual mode all the time. I find it's a gear or 2 out most of time especially when looking to accelerate. Reading info and reviews I think it fixes this up a fair amount. Also want to get it to increase torque settings, clutch gripping to match tune as guessing APR tune will take torque to well over 500nm.

Also how is the sound of the APR intake? Can't find anything online yet showing it on Golf R?

Thanks mate!

Go fast bits finally arrived today, intake and boost tap.

Only fitted the intake as I have to find a way of routing the boost tubing into the cabin somehow :/ if anyone has any tips, please let me know??

But back to the intake, this thing is insane, no real noticeable power gains measured by just driving it but the sound is just as I imagined if not better, disconnected the soundaktor to make it more noticeable and wow, an exhaust system would really compliment this.
coming into high rpm, induction sound is amazing and can really hear the turbo when you let off. WICKED COOL

Thanks mate, I bought a $6 bluetooth dongle and the Torque app for $4.95 to see how much I would potentially get out of it for now

Hey guys

Have recently bought the Boost Tap from Apr and in anticipation for the release of the gauge I was wondering if anyone had hooked up a different gauge to their boost tap and if so, where did you route the boost tubing etc. any help would be great.

Thanks in advance
