How much did it change ur insurance by if i may ask ?

Yes how much did the premium increase with the mods 🤔

The mods were done right at the end my insurance year which meant I shopped around at time of renewal. I moved to Adrian flux and even with disclosing all mods and a speed awareness course, my premium came down ~£150

Man, I got my hands on a black and blacked out 2019 R, and I slapped an intake and the APR stage 1 low torque tune (warranty) on it, and it’s a BEAST. My last two cars (aside from my current 21 Jetta that’s my daily and the 19 R) were GTIs that were APR Stage 2, and seriously, the R is just on another level. Everything about the personality of the R is significantly more aggressive than even a stage 2 GTI, and when you put just a semi-aggressive stage 1 ECU/TCU tune on the R- it puts the modded GTI experience to shame. Don’t get me wrong- I absolutely love GTIs but the R has permanently spoiled me. I like the 7.5 Golf R a lot more than the MK8. Another crazy thing is just how uncommon they are. I live in the 4th most populous city in the US, and in the last 8 months that I’ve owned the car, I’ve only seen one other one and including the one I own, I’ve only seen 5 Golf Rs on the road here since they were introduced and I drive around a lot. Man, I am stoked as hell that you’re rocking an MK7.5 because I totally get how freaking awesome it is to own and drive one of these cars. 🤘🤘🤘

@@TheArizonaAssasin thanks for your comment man, really insightful. Just to confirm, you had a stage 1 tune and still had warranty on the car? Regards.

Thanks!

How much to go stage 1 ??

Awesome!! Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Thanks for the comment and kind words! APR claim around 370HP / 383lbfts on APR ECU + TCU without any other mods, on their specific dyno in whatever conditions the cars were run in. It's well known that the 4 piece intake on these cars is wroth 10-20HP (not all at peak), not to mention incredible turbo and engine sounds with the turbo not having to run at an as high duty cycle to achieve the boost request. If you love the stock engine sound, stock turbo sound, stock engine bay aesthetic and don't want optimum performance - stay with the stock intake.

Thanks you for your comment and positive vibes !

hahahaha!!

Awesome! Great to hear you are loving your car more then ever!

Hey Scott, hope u r doing Great, Would you still recommend Stage 1 with the FMIC and APR.... after 05 months of usage or would u recommend something else... ? I have a 2019 Gti...

@@sahilkad2762 yes go for it. It’s a blast to drive

Thanks for the comment and kind words! Yes I can't wait to upgrade the MK8Rs output. For now, the focus is on optimising the handling. Great to hear you are loving your 7.5R!

I understand you no more can tune the ecu on a mk,

@@MrRonan3 what? 😂😂

Thanks for the comment and feedback Steve! Heat is always an issue on track days, especially for tuned cars that are outside of the original design scope and use case. Which is exactly why we also offer other products to support your intended use!

Nah, the res delete is just for sound and does nothing else

Most bang for your back enjoyment!

This 7.5 was pre GPF

Yes, yes we can

99 RON V-Power for the best results. With the stock DSG software you will need the 'Stage 1 low output' which is for stock DSG software, then when you get the DSG software we can install the 'Stage 1 high output' software which is designed for use with DSG software.

Is the high octane fuel needed affected by this new fuel l now see at the pumps? Thanks

@@johneaton25 most petrol stations are now selling E10 or 95 octane which is worse for your car gives the car less power and you also get less mpg but it was implemented because it produces less harmful emissions, the higher the octane the better like v-power or tesco momentum. Problem is E10 has now become the new standard and E5 is the new premium

Nope, they are essentially the same.

Hey! Thanks for the message, we do not fit any customer supplied parts. We do supply everything, so let us know if you need anything else supplied, and fitted :)

6 speed in the 7 is better, 7 speed has issues with the clutch. I'd go 7 if you are looking for performance, as they are the same. 7.5 has a little better interior

We used to be a REVO and APR dealer, until REVO remove us from the dealer network - I guess they didn't like that we were offering both! Even though APR were comfortable with it. We actually had the opportunity to test both an APR and REVO file on the same car, the APR file made around 10-15hp more across the entire rev range iirc. This was around 2-3 years ago though, so perhaps they have improved their software since.

Nice!!

Rolling road runs are just a snapshot into a vehicles performance at a moment in time, under specific environmentals. We do tend to see MK7 Golf Rs making different power levels

Golf Rs with GPFs make more power then pre with Stage 1 software? Send us the links to such wild gains please

@@RegalAutosport I didn’t say that. If a gpf model had stage 1 and a pre gpf had stage 1, MRC have shown that the gpf model made more power. Stronger internals on the gpf engine. Feel free to have a look. My comment was referencing to the gents comment about buying a pre gpf car for tuning.

@@eatsleepandskate1 Not entirely accurate. I spoke with Doug @ MRC while having my 7.5 Pre GPF car remapped and he said the GPF cars do make more power BUT only if you remove the GPF, but of course that's illegal to do on UK roads and would fail an MOT. GPF cars have to run more boost pressure as standard in order to output 300ps due to the more restrictive GPF cannisters. Have a look at the R Owner forums as there's plenty of people on there that will confirm this, to the point where stage 2 GPF cars will output about 400ps at around 1.9bar of boost. Mine was stage 1 and I still achieved 395ps at 1.74 bar. Ash's comments about the 7.5 vs 7 are essentially correct though, however normally the mk7.5 would be expected to achieve higher gains than a mk7, and i'm not sure why this isnt the case in this scenario (maybe the fuel is a factor). The biggest mechanical differences between the two is the 7 speed dsg box which can handle more torque, and that in turn generally allows the mk7.5 to run slightly higher figures

@@purplepulser yeah that makes sense, I should’ve said stage 2 vs stage 2 as an example as then they’d both be in the same situation with no cat and no gpf. Yeah on mrc’s Instagram all the gpf golf R’s when matched in mods to a pre gpf the gpf model made more torque and power. That’s also what I was going by. And yeah the dq381 on the 7.5 isn’t it? I remember seeing something about that when I had ordered mine

@@eatsleepandskate1 Yes, 7sp DQ381 on the mk7.5 vs 6sp DQ250 on the mk7. If getting a stage 1 remap on a mk7, most tuners will recommend getting the TCU remapped as well to increase clamping pressure, to cope with the torque. You can always opt for a low torque output if you are dead set on not getting the TCU remapped, but I have never seen the point of that. The mk7.5 doesn't strictly need a remap at stage 1 levels, but its still recommended and I had it done anyway, because its not just about handling the torque that's improved, if you think about it, with just an ECU remap, the TCU doesn't expect the increased levels of torque and when you floor it, and inevitably surpass the factory rated limits, the TCU will probably start limiting torque to protect itself. The TCU remap is what resolves these issues. Shift behaviour is a massive improvement when remapping a DSG, i.e on track for instance, it won't tend to upshift when turning corners and holds the gear, often to the redline. Additionally, manual mode behaves properly, and it wont upshift and will bounce off the redline. Downshifts aren't affected. Lastly i think there's a variable speed launch control, though i've not used that yet.

Yeah why not!

Identify yourself so we can banish the bad vibes from the channel

We've tried the JB4, works okay if you want something you plug in. Doesn't work well if you've tried a proper ECU remap.

True but wanted to keep my warranty. Also I've had ecu tunes on previous cars and it's not that much better (butt dyno!). The real advantage for me is changing maps on the fly as I drive, esp. valet mode when dropping off at garages!
