APR Tuned Candy White Golf 6 R from South Africa

[Porra46]

So my one buddy with a Peugeot 207 GTI came to visit a weekend... He stays about 300/400kms away from me...



Here are some videos I made compliments of my buddy's GoPro.
What my car sounds like under full WOT

We stuck the GoPro on his hood and he rode behind me... Here are some quick vids

Some more updates... On Tuesday I was at my APR dealer Sportech to install a few more mods to the R...
Here is the progress!
Stripping of the front end to remove stock intercooler...

Stock intercooler vs my new APR intercooler!

My expensive APR intercooler!

Fitment of my intercooler...


My VWR subframe engine mounts were also installed...



An interesting mod... The Golf 6 suffers from a type of 'subframe shift' This can be heard (A clonking sound) when reversing out your driveway and engaging forward gears again to drive off. The copper washer/bushes installed by Sportech have removed this shifting and loose subframe issue!


The new APR 76mm Downpipe replacing my older ETuners one. This downpipe is also decatted but has no resonator and has no reducers. So it's a full 76mm right through! It sounds nasty!


With mileage sitting at 7600kms, I felt a good oil change is necessary!! I strongly believe in frequent oil changes and Sportech did this for me too...

Car is really unbelievably strong. Few other things planned for my cabby and will update as I go along!

Awesome build thread. love the huge number of nice pics. That Peugeot seemed to sound pretty good too.

Looks like you've bought everything you can for the car. Anything else on the shopping list?

Thanks guys!!

Next will be WMI, the fully loaded APR ECU with switchable modes, and possibly the superpro alloy wishbones with ALK.

I will keep her like that till I have achieved my best possible 400m times with the Stage 2+ setup...

My dream will eventually be Stage 3 with the VWR big brake kit...

Here is another video of what she sounds like now with the full APR RSC 3" TBE and decat with resonator delete...

Excuse the low quality vid... It was my buddy's GoPro and as he stays so far away he had to email me the vid.

great information,

Man left SA back in 1996, But as far back as I can remember we only ever used Lindsey Saker's.
Great transformation over so little mileage. the Super Pro ALK will be a massive improvement.

Some small updates...

Was at Sportech (APR dealer here in South Africa) this weekend for some mods. They installed my AEM WMI kit and loaded my fully loaded ECU with map switching.. This is one hell of a clean workshop!


The decision of where to tap the meth from was a difficult one but I opted for the tank in the boot instead of the washer bottle option.


Car still runs on an everyday 95 file but feels so happy with the WMI. Will do a switch to the 104 file when I have some good race fuel in the tank.

And then I got together with some good friends staying the area. My one bud Dan's Polo 6R GTI (Also APR Tuned) and Sven's Volvo C30 (K16 turbo and other goodies)

Gave the car a great detail and some care over the weekend... Here are the latest pics on her.










And even detailed the engine bay...



And with some of this trusy Octane Booster from NF, I decided to have some fun with the R too.



I mixed a can with 30 litres of fuel which should get our 95RON fuel to around 102/103 and also using my WMI should keep me running in the safe zone with my switched APR 104 Stage 2+ program.

After about 40kms of driving and adaption, I took this video. Sorry for the poor quality. The missus sat in the back holding the phone.

VW Golf R - APR Stage 2+ 104 program - 0-100km/h - YouTube

I time about just under 4 seconds which is incredible! I am hoping to get even better launching with a DSG flash and increased Launch Control.

Had the car at our local AWD dyno again...




Here are the figures... My old 95 program figures (left) and new 104 program figures (right)


And a little video...
