New Project - MK7 GTI

[Guy_H]

Noob question - what does the line thickness represent?

Just the runs on the different sessions

Hi Guy,

Can you give us members an idea when ECU tunes will be up for the Mk7 petrol variants now that good ol USA will begin receiving their own GTi?

cheers

APR imported their own GTI so they are nearly 7 months into development (and its a Euro Spec too) - They are aiming at the go fast range being released by middle of the year (some bits earlier). most complicated ECU yet!

Hi Guy, any updates?

[Guy_H]

not far away now, one of my tech's was at APR this week, so he should have an update when he gets back. Good thing is we have all the current AU software versions on file that we have come across so far

[Tiggy]

how about the upcoming Golf R and Scirocco R?

[Guy_H]

Already under way. We have had several new S3's visiting the workshop here for code extracts already. We hope to have our new Golf R in April for development.

So here is the curves on the lie detector (hub dyno) - more than 60nm more torque throughout (earlier) and the power is way earlier (same peak as MK6) - you can see where VW switch it off.

You can see why a MK7 is immediately faster. The MK7 is the thicker lines.

So, Mk7 GTI is basically Mk6 + APR stage 1 I wander what sort of turbo these MK7 GTI's have. Is it same IHI/K03 turbo in Mk6 ?

[Guy_H]

MK7 GTI shares nothing with the MK6 or Tiguan.

the only interchangeable parts would be the coolant & the oil

P.S. the turbocharger no longer has a manifold as we now know it - its all internal in the head, so forget what you knew about turbochargers on the old engines!
