MK7R Dyno comparison, Stock vs Stage 1

Рет қаралды 59,490

4 жыл бұрын

We compare a simple APR Stage 1 tune vs Stock on a MK7 Golf R on our chassis dyno. We did our best to keep each run consistent to the next.
1st Run - Stock (91oct)
2nd Run - APR Stage 1 Low Torque (91oct)
3rd Run - APR Stage 1 High Torque (91oct)
*We clearly would expect even more power with the 93oct file.
The results are what we've seen across the board over the years when dynoing APR tuned vehicles, whether it was stage 1 all the way up to Stage 3+.

According to VW specs the MK7 Golf R has 292hp. I spoke to APR and was told stage 1 would bump me up by 60-80hp on the low torque version. Now I don't know what to believe? I love my R but without a real Dyno you can't tell.

@COMotorsports 4 жыл бұрын

With the Haldex unplugged it's still turning the front axles, front angle drive, and driveshaft. This is the exact same way it is when driving on the street 90% of the time. The only time the rear axles are powered is when there is slip on the front tires. So lets say you did a pull on the highway in 3-4th gear with Haldex plugged in... and did a pull in 3-4th gear with it unplugged... the car is going to accelerate the exact same because the AWD is not going to engage as there would be lots of traction. So the answer is yes. We unplug it for safety so there's no chance of it engaging the rears.
