Great video man. I own a Mk7 GTI and was planning to going to Stage 2 with Unitronic. You said in the video you went back and forth between stage 1, stage 2 and stock. How did you deal with changing fuels between the flash? Any issues with the car using 93 on stock map?

Hi Lucas - love ur vids bro. Over time I honestly realized that I shouldn’t really put any money into the GTI and just keep it and take care of it and eventually sell in like 3 years, Bc the car is amazing in every way but honestly driving it now I don’t see any need for more power, especially with the whole like fwd setup. But it’s awesome to see all the info u give us! It’s a great car and honestly the most “reasonable” fast car to buy so that u don’t look like a speed demon but I’m not really a big fan of the styling of the car anymore. Still gonna love my car tho!

I want a tune but dont want to go with a tune dealer, what you’ll recommend? I have a gti mk7.5 2020 and already put a borla cat-back and the apr cold air intake, the apr turbo inlet and turbo muffler dlt, but bo downpipe, just the stock one. Should i go for the downpipe and go straight to stage2 on unictronics or apr? Idk much about this but even on stage1 its almost 300hp dosent ti?

Nice video. If you have stage 1 already and want to go stage 2, Do you pay the full price for the stage 2 or you pay the price diff between stage 1 and 2? They don't specify anything on their website. IE Performance offers the price diff from stage 1 and 2. Cheers

You never actually need the dsg tune, you can get in whenever you want and even at stock ECU. It’s recommended as you get a tune so there’s less wear on your clutches but it’s never required

Do you still run stock oil or have you switched to something heavier like what's recommended for a Golf R? And have you shortened your oil change interval? I have a 2019 GTI and I plan on tuning it when the warranty expires (just passed 32k miles) and I've been trying to find some straight answers about oil recommendations, but it seems like everyone on the internet is afraid to get sued and says, "you're an idiot if you run anything other than the manufacturer's recommended lubricant, wink, wink, nudge, nudge." but then they don't actually say what oil you should run with a stage 2 tune. I'm mystified and would love to hear your opinion (and I guarantee I won't sue you if I follow your advice and blow up my car.)
