    how to fix traction issues on 2011 gti

    Hey Guys,

    This has probs been asked before but cant seem to find it,

    I have a 2011 mk6 gti with apr stage 1 and basically loose traction in 1st and second aswell as that nasty axle tramp off the line if you give it a bit!

    Apart from new rubber what have others done to reduce/overcome this??

    cheers

    Anti-lift kit will apparently reduce axle tramp.
    Basically it comes down to feathering the throttle and wider/sticker tyres.

    I believe you can also boost the EDL/XDL setting via vagcom but not sure if that will help.

    The torque arm insert is basically a harder mount which reduces engine movment under acceleration/braking, it also gave smoother gear shifts.
    I found it good for what it does but it also transferred vibrations through the car due to the harder compund and i couldn't live with that so i removed mine.


    I believe most people go for a whiteline anti-lift kit.
