The great big MK6 Golf 118TSI tuning thread

Isn't APR ~319nm torque?

I just came to the same realisation!!! I was looking at ft.lb torque not Nm. So now I doubt I will do it. There is a huge difference between the 2 in this case

I thought stock was 250Nm and the tune was 300ish??

Yeah you are right. Stock is 240Nm so 270 is honestly barely any increase in torque. I am going to ask again and see what they come back with tomorrow. I don't feel like wasting $1200

You have to remember that it's drivability too, peak power isn't everything. So having more torque available sooner makes it's much better to drive.

Yeah well that's what guy has basically sold me on today. He said it's more drive able than the most tunes but I don't know how they can say that and then tell me that my car will be the first to get it. But at the same time I do believe guy is extremely trustworthy. I'll try get a bit more info tomorrow.

BTW Hawk how is your stage 2 going? Started going ahead with it yet?

Apr tune sounds better to be honest. Same power and higher torque than 270 Nm. Most stage 1 tunes for that matter offer the same thing. Twincharger a get max torque at really low rpm too so can't see this tune giving an advantage that way either.

Interested to see the results of this new tune though. Harding usually does good stuff.

I'm at a cross roads, I can still do the intercooler which would be nice.. But what else?
There is no downpipe so the exhaust would be more about sound than performance.
I've got the intake, DV+, the car had the updated HPFP already...

So what is a stage 2 upgrade?
And even then, is it worth pushing a CAVD any harder??

Aren't there downpipe a available with high flow cat? Saw some on eBay made by a company in Greece. About US$480 for euro 3 200 cell cat. US$780 for euro 4 version. Will post link in a bit. Alternatively you could take out your downpipe and knock out the stock cat then put the dp back in then tune for stage 2....might be smelly though.

Stage 2 from what I've heard is a nice upgrade and I'm going to do it because I'm just a downpipe and tune away from it.

The seller can also make changes to the dp before shipping to you if you like based on email correspondence I had with them months ago.
