Dang! 306whp 364tq corrected with just stage 1 that's freakin impressive

FACK! I have a Mk7 GTI. I’ve been watching your videos and I’ve always been like “fuckin stage 1 316whp? No way..” stoked to see our car puts out! Appreciate the proof. Cheers

Thats crazy with just a tune.. these cars are nothing to be slept on. I scooted down an onramp with one a while back in my STI and was shocked that he was keeping up with me. Now i know why. Good job VW.

That's great to know, saw the last video and my heart sank. I have apr stage 1 as well, and it sure feels like a HUGE boost in power, and now we know APR isn't messing with the numbers. I'm shocked more people don't go the APR route, and the hate is unreal, the whole Chevy/Ford deal. It's so easy and great day to day driver, it's a no brainer, get it done and no messing with dongles, hand held stuff, it just works and works great.

First off, a dyno is a tool for tuning. It's all about what you came in with vs what you left with (under the curve gains, etc). There are many different filters you can view the data with, and variables to consider. One dyno could say you make 400hp, another 350... it would still run the same 1/4 mile and trap speed. Stage 1 is probably 13s @ 103-107 mph car in the 1/4. It's a fun car, and I am considering getting another one for a DD. Don't get too caught up on dyno numbers people, that's for people who like to stand around parking lots and measure each other's genitals.

That's insane numbers def makes me want to go the APR route.

👏👏👏for the stock clutch. I def didn't expect those numbers

Great numbers bro! I have a MK5 GTI DSG that I've been running APR stage 2 on since brand new..it now has 220k miles and has never given me any issues. APR is deff the way to go!

Wow im surprised with apr....love your channel medicmagic

SWEEEEEEEEEEEET I knew My APR Tuned GTI felt stronger than the numbers stated, but THAT is crazy.

APR just released a "Bangs and pops" mode for Stage 2, so YOU GOTTA DO THAT LOL The exhaust is going to sound crazy

What are you running on your gti exactly? When I get my gti I want to base it on your gti. I was thinking about getting a golf r but i’d rather save 15k and get a stage 1 maybe even 2 into the gti.

I always change my oil every six months or 5000 miles whichever comes first. I use Pennzoil 5w-40 Euro synthetic in my MK7 and the Blackstone oil analysis shows impressive results using this oil.

nice vdub.... I have a 2017 GTI autobahn. Whit APR stage 1 and a K&N cold air intake and my dyno run had 326 whp and 401 ftlb of torque at the wheels. It was 24 degrees out side on the day I dynoed it. I am putting a APR down pipe, APR 3" exhaust and stage two next week. I will let you know the dyno numbers with in a couple of days after.... I also in western pa, actually south western pa. about an hour south of pittsburg. Im using my wifes log in

I got my SwankyMods shirt last week in the mail. Nice quality and very stylish. #StaySwanky and congrats on the dyno numbers!

Nice vid man. I 2 have a GTI sport with an apr stage 1. Only difference is I have the 91 octane rated 1. It's suppose 2 have 305hp and 371trq. It's beastly...when the tires hook up.

Good numbers, I'm glad your clutch is holding up, I tuned my 2015 gti with Eurodyne stage 2 91oct hightorque, and my clutch started to slip the first time i went riding to test it in 4th, 5th, and i was just cruising on the highway, I tuned it down to stage 1.5 and it was still slipping, I had to go down to stage 1 for it not to slip as bad.

Those numbers are INSANE. Would love to do this, but still have 6 years or 71,400 miles left on the warranty.

I wonder what difference in power is with only 91 octane as opposed to your 93, my guess is 290-300hp

I just saw your video of when you got your APR stage 1 tune 5 years ago. Did you have any clutch issues?

The stock boost gauge is atmospheric pressure, psia, you subtract 14.7 psi to to get to actual boost psi

A few questions : Back in the day I was in a mustang ( a stock 305 hp 5.0 ), it was an 89’ gt ), it threw my head back at take off.. I just bought a gti, picking it up Monday morning and have a stage 1 apr tube scheduled for Monday afternoon. They are guaranteeing a minimum of 90 horsepower increase and stock it sits at 236. It’s an autobahn model. 1. Will the stage 1 tune truly have that much of a gain where it’s felt that drastically? 2. Without hardware upgrades such as clutch, Cold air intake and an exhausted system will the gains be sustainable ? Meaning will my vehicle be subject to increased wear and tear ? I’ve heard that even with a stage 1 tune the clutch can slip occasionally…

Did you have any other mods with the stage 1, like an intercooler or cai?

Which stage 1 tune did you have? 87,91,93? Low or high torque? Or was there only 1 stage 1 tune offered at the time?

Mod list please !!! Miss my old MK5 GTI K04. Had stage 3 apr tune @ 360hp. Imagine now mk7 getting tune! Lmk please !!

Sick gains for around $600,...just spoke to VW earlier before even watching any of your videos and they mentioned APR stage 1 at around what you paid without any warranty promises from VW. Said if something major happens VW sees it when they plug in your ECU now where as in the past they couldn't. For between $1250-$1600 I think he said at VW they will Warranty the APR install straight form the dealer. Thought that might be some useful knowledge for anyone considering tuning. I like cheap, but we send a lot of money on our cars to not have them covered. Just a thought for everyone out there. Great videos!!!!

I know I’m watching this late but... I’m about to go APR stage 1 on my 2015 GTI DSG. I’m excited to give em all the full gapplebeez menu after watching this vid, those numbers are insane. More than that, everyone says the car feels very different after the tune. It shows those numbers well

What Dyno was this on? A dynojet?

Like your vid. thanks what else have you done your gti

How much does the stage 1 Cost for the GTI ?

I know you've done everything apr and I can see why with the history. I have been wanting to go mountune52 and wondered what if any knowledge you may have on their products. Their flash claims to not only deal with power but affects the handling and shift points. Just trying to find more info and seeing what's the best option for my money with longevity in mind. I'm running a mk7.5.

I would have said 316hp at the flywheel at most, but no way to the wheels...WOW APR Stage 1 purchase on the way soon for my 2017 VW Golf GTI Autobahn DSG!! 😎

I just bought this tune, wow can't wait to feel the pull after I get it flashed.

Wow... 319 whp is crazy but I thought I heard you wrong when you said 380 wtq. That's mental!!

What prices are you guys being quoted for an APR stage 1 remap? My closest dealer wants $599 plus $50 to install (PLUS sales tax here in FL) its just too rich for me.

What mods did u have on car

Do you have a dsg or 6 speed

Is it worth it? I have a 2016 gli

My 2020 gli apr stage 1 and DSG high torque on 93 is 321 to the wheel and from 258 torque too 351 ,love it

Did he retain the same fuel economy after the tune?

Do you still have your GTI? Who tuned it?

Not bad those are solid numbers

Does stage 1 kills mpg ??

Just subbed. I just bought a 2017 gti and went apr stage 1 instantly. These cars are just plain sick. I haven't had anybody leave me yet. I've literally walked on anything that has tried me. These cars are in a class of their own. I love your videos and look forward to seeing what else you do with your car. Thanks for your videos and time.

Hey man love the Channel. I have a mk7 Gti I’m about to do apr stage 1 this week I wanted to know do u have any issues with traction. I mean I’m sure in first gear but any other gears are you able to get the power all the way to the road?

I just got a 2016 GTI Dsg automatic non-pp. Thinking about getting the stage 1, and nothing further afterwords. I heard that you have to keep the stock intake with a stage 1 is that true? Is it worth getting the stage 1 for the automatic Tran

it's only $700 though? that's awesome!

Good numbers Russ, I have a MK7 GTI APR stage 1 and I’m under 4K miles, just installed my dp and I’m so ready to get to my tuner next week to get the stage 2! Are you doing a dyno run soon after you get your stage 2?

What did it make stock at the wheels on the same dyno? The only way to understand actual gains

Those are good numbers at stage 1 and a mustang dyno. I'm so ready to go proper flash tuning or etuning. This JB4 custom tune is just not cutting it for me. I did a 275whp and 301wtq

Dumb question. What makes it stage 1? Is it a full package or is it just intake tune and exhaust? How many psi?

Awesome information thank you.

How reliable is this

Nice numbers. I keep hearing all sorts of different things about this - I have a new '17 GTI and want to go stage 1. I have a crap ton of warranty time left which I don't want to void since I've had a bad history of issues with my past VWs and everything with them seems to cost a small fortune to fix. What's the real story re APR and warranty - does it void it? Should I just wait until warranty is done and then go stage 1?

Those numbers sound right. My stage one mk5 jetta runs 260whp 300pound of torque to the wheels

Anyone who hates on this video drives a sti, facts or wishes they did. The same type of people who say glocks are the best pistols 😭 I only believe facts and facts are what this man provided me. 🙏🏼

Is your car DSG or manual? Do you have a DSG tune or an upgraded clutch? And what octane fuel/tune are you using? And since that's a mustang dyno are those corrected or uncorrected power numbers? Also what was the temperature outside on the day of the dyno?

Oh man we both have GTI and S2000! Nice video! My GTI currently running APR stg2 with intercooler! Just a reminder to get stg2 asap if you are doing more racing, I was already saw 2 Audi A3 with APR stg1 blow their engine at race track(not drag racing) , and maybe Cali is way too hot, haha

Did you have to change the clutch to get the stage one?

Anyone who knows a little bit about tuning, do I need to purchase the stage 1 tune before upgrading to a stage 2 tune? Or can I go from stock to stage 2 without paying for the stage 1

New Sub here like the channel. Owner of an MK6 GTI with DSG bought it new and it's paid for bone stock with 47k miles. I think it's time to tune but I'm going with Unitronic stage 1 to start then go from there. Probably after the holidays. 👍

Looking at buying a 2017/2018 sometime next year and your videos are dope and just make me fuckin excited haha. Appreciate it man! Having trouble finding what I want in Dayton Ohio though.

I sub'd to your channel specifically because I have a MK7 GTI with APR stage 1 93 oct. tune and an APR intake (amongst other mods but none that would affect power). I have been contemplating going stage 2 for over a year now since I have had zero problems with my current setup. I'm lookin forward to watching your results once you go the extra step. Are you planning on buying the APR downpipe? (that seems to be the way to go)

i like your content subbed

At 4:33, what shot out from the front grill next to the drivers headlight?

Nice...wish somebody would do this on a stage 2 Unitronic

You should put your mod list in the description of every video

319whp in freezing ass November... I would hope those uncorrected numbers were that high

Damn, well this is a good ad for apr. I was considering the jb4, but ferk man 319 that's good shit. Thanks for this

Built mk5 gti here everything but internals and I only made 337hp... that's pretty sweet dude

Thanks for the info. Can you show us the dyno sheet?

I am not suprised it made 319hp. The gtis are really sensitive to temp changes, when gets into the 40s mine has a lot more power than it does on a 80 degree day. and all of APRs number are done at like 70 degrees or something like that so its not that hard to believe it posted those kinds of numbers.

My brother put down 306/365 apr stage 1 and intake.

The dyno sheet actually said engine horsepower (flywheel, unless thats the wheel you’re meaning?) 319hp at the fly seems correct, as 316 is whats stated by apr in the uk running 98/99 ron (octane) fuel. 319hp at the wheels seems incorrect as that would ROUGHLY mean about 340/350hp at the engine. Also what did it run on the dyno before the tune was fitted as that would let you know how accurate the dyno is.

Is that an SAE corrected, STD corrected or uncorrected number?

Hell yeah!! Whats ask your mods, intake, exhaust and tune ?

Solid number for a MD...seems like it reads more like a DJ. This car trapped 106 or 107 with 319 MD? I know they're all a little different but I know cars that made 330 MD and trapped 116! Super impressive got stage 1 either way. These cars really impress me!

I think I found my new daily...

Yeah i don't mess with these cars. Tunes makes the same power as I do but I Haag to swap the turbo to get that type of power lol X37 turbo (240whp/93oct, wasn't running the 285whp/e30 tune against a stock appearing gli we were fender to fender until I let off and saw Apr sticker on the back lol. I'm like this is bs lol. Though mine isn't a straight line car

Wtf how is that possible. Gti from factory puts down 228 at the crank so would be like 180ish at the wheels right? So you’re telling me with just a STAGE 1 tune it gains 140 whp??? I thought it was supposed to increase by like 60-70hp max? Am I getting that right or do these cars actually put more than claimed when stock?

How reliable are these things ? Im thinking about picking one of these up.

So the issue I have is if I go to get a apr tune, they don't even offer this, or have changed their numbers. Because their own page on ecs says 250 hp... I literally used your link. And they are telling people you have to be in Ohio to get the tune.

That darn 5.0 has to much torque lol. It's ok we will be victorious on the curvy roads and not the straight away :)

APR stage one is insane on these cars - I run a 2015 DSG with stage 1 and started off with the high output tune for a few months and eventually got it adjusted to the low output tune for drivability and longevity, but I have to admit the HO tune made me laugh out loud every time I gunned it, ridiculous.

I’m more impressed with the torque holy shit

type of fuel? 91 or 93?

No info about your AFR’s?? What we really wanna know is how healthy this tune is. If it’s all kosher than that makes this shit even MORE impressive.

That's ridiculous, honestly all you really want in a front-wheel drive car. My car is stock and I still break traction all the time, I'm on performance tires too.

Nice numbers ! Besides my bitchin about the oil.

Awesome dude! Curious though, the mustang dyno usually shows lower numbers, not this time? I wonder what it would show on a Dynajet?

Ayyyyy not bad man

Crazy to think that people do 10k mile oil changes 😳

Anyone use this on a sportwagen?

Most of the top Stage 1 tunes show about 80 - 90 HP gains over stock. I have a ED Stage 1.5 (basically the high torque version of Stage 1) and get about 310 whp and about 370 TQ. APRs own website shows a Stage 1 tunes being 316hp but this varies by dyno and things like temp and altitude. The reason most people underestimate them is they take the stock number (210) and add the gain (87) and think they're going to be 290 something. The reality is, the non-pp GTIs really back about 215 - 220hp at the wheels, and the PP GTIs are over 230. VW under-rates them for marketing reasons. 87hp gain on 230 is 317 (and when tuning it doesn't matter whether you have the PP or nonPP, you get the same end result). Nice vid. Subbed.

The guage does not account for atmospheric pressure

mustang or dynojet?

How does this effect the warranty?

How much boost are you pushing? Does it say? Psi?

Sorry I see now that was uncorrected power numbers and with corrections you made 306hp and 364 ib.ft.

Will the stock clutch last with a stage 1 APR tune?
