Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

The no fart under hard acceleration is because the fuel cut that enables the fart is disabled for maximum acceleration.
As for upshifting at redline automatically that is to protect your engine and gearbox. I dont know why you would like to valve bounce otherwise knock knock

It only seems to stop the fuel cut in the first to second gear change under full acceleration in auto mode and not in manual mode or other gears. There is a definite pause though in gear change from first to second in auto compared to manual and I don't understand what the difference would be? With regards to the automatic upshift at redline I understand it is to avoid valve bounce but I just like the idea of having full control over the gear changing decision and not the car, probably should have got a manual!

Yer get it checked.

Thats what a DSG tune is for. There are some out there that let you have full control when over in the manual mode

Thanks for the reply SteveR, are they APR or something else! Will call in and see what they have to offer. Thanks G.T.

Hi GT,

They do custom tunes. Parso does a lot of work on VWs

Greetings all, I'm wanting to get the mirror caps on my R wrapped in carbon. I couldn't track down a specific thread.
Does anyone know of anyone good in Melbourne?

I have always wished my Golf R had the cracks, pops and crackle that you get in the likes of the AMG A45 and the new focus RS so in a rage of insanity of lashed out and bought a Innotech (IPE) valvetronic exhaust system for my R. The valvetronic allows you to have it with valves closed (stockish) or open (snap, crackle pop) or auto which is basically bi modal. Attached are a few pics (has titanium tips). Sounds unbelievable with valves open and sounds stock when shut. The fart on upshift with valves open I think rivals a lambo at full tilt

How much did the system cost you? Any chance of getting some audio?

Ouch but sounds like fun. I'll have to follow you at QR with my windows down as I also miss the pops and bangs from the RS (makes me LOL every time I'm in my mate's).
