WHENZLUNCH yooooooooo!! love your vids man

Codylee Steffens thanks for the support

WHENZLUNCH how Mitch does a stage 2 clutch cost?

WHENZLUNCH did you have to get a new clutch for stage 1 ?

Jacob Mccoy you don’t. For the DSG you have nothing to worry about under stage 3. For the manual gearbox, usually stage two lasts quite a while on the stock clutch. It’s a big debate. Mine lasted 37000 miles at apr stage 2+ with a TCU stage 2 tune as well. Once it started slipping I upgraded it. I was at 327hp and 413tq at the wheels.

Those vehicles are in totally different price ranges, of course the GTI is awesome compared to the sporty hatchback youth-oriented car.

Congrats! We have a bunch of parts on our site for them!

Glad to have you! That video should be out very soon.

Thanks for watching! Enjoy the car!

How has your experience been with the Cobb tune? Has it been safe?

did you need an upgraded clutch?

Yes and yes go eqt if you want a reliable tune

Thats a big step! Into the void you go, you won't regret it. Let us know if we can help further into the void ;]

I wouldn't worry everything else is built up to golf r or Audi s3 levels which are up to 400hp I think. The trans is rated to 400tq for a dsg stock.

Thanks for watching!!

Good eye!!

steve macqueen the interior quality is amazing. And the car is insanely large on the inside. Can fit 2-3 full sized bicycles on the inside with tires on. Fit a whole oven in it! A set of rims and tires for my fox body.

@@dominick253 right? Even my friends who doesn't know anything about the gti were like. "Why did you buy a decently big car?" It looks small outside but spacious inside.

Jacob Frey lol what do that even mean?!

either its a joe-biden-grade-gaffe or a reference to "turbo spooled at 12mph and crashed" circa 2004 from NASIOC

LMAO!

jaminx2 what color did you get? I was stuck getting the white one but I’m happy as hell

Yes! We are on golfmk7.com

Glad you enjoyed it

Dyno is just relative so

LeeROBD stock dyno says 264bhp

Yeah mazdaspeed3 says 263hp and makes about 230 at the wheels, stock. Most stock gti dyno I see are about the same. You lose like 15% from crank to wheels.

@@sonofnothing I see the opposite.

@@TeeWadeG gti stock dyno is about 230. Same as mazdaspeed3. It's the opposite because the vw underates their hp. Correct. But the whp is the same.

Thanks for reaching out, we don't do custom tunes and only offer our OTS map for the Accessport.

Jae C you just press the push start and not hold it down. It will go to on/accessories or w/e it is called. Same thing for the fiesta st. Hope that helps you.

Tiguan is awesome, we do not make any tunes for it, sorry Jorge!

We gotchu Matt! should be on its way very soon.

MAPerformance haha thanks!

All the flow mods. Start with a short ram intake. NOT the Cobb because it is pricey. You can find a nice aluminum intake for ~350. A downpipe (cats nor not, depends on your state emissions) and bigger intercooler core. Get a pro tune and you'll be blown away.

We will all give you massive high fives if you come down! Also, the Accessport will come with our MAPerformance stage 1 tune as well.

Give us a call or email: sales@maperformance.com 🤘

traded mine in last week! You wont regret it.

get the autobahn trim, and manual trans. the DSG's good but very boring to drive day to day.

Haha, different strokes. I think the exact opposite for the DSG. I think it's perfect for the day to day drive. I didn't like the very long gears in the manual trans. If they were as short as the DSG though, then I'd have bought it this time (my mk6 was DSG as well, but all of the others were manual before then). I especially love the ability to drive it hard whenever I feel like driving, and being able to pop it over into commute mode so I can just creep through the traffic with minimal effort (or those drives that you really just don't feel like it lol). Both are very good options though, and I'd have been happy with either one if I couldn't have found the other for a reasonable price. Pound for pound, I don't think there is another car out there (new) that you can buy that's a better all around car. The Focus ST is probably 2nd spot in this for me after spending significant time living with both.

TheMetalGuy852 The Focus ST has a lot of issues , I got one of those with the wiring harness problem which fucks with all kinds of driveablity issues , the PVC system is terrible u have to physically clean your intake valves every 3,000 miles cause the oil and carbon will start to cake up on the valve stem. Then right when the 36000 mile. warranty was up I started getting a random misfire code and that was the final straw. I ended up trading it in for a 2016 GTI Autobahn w/pp DSG and it's been great , I was going to get a stick but they say the clutch won't hold up very long after a tune. The DSG is nice and it's faster than my ST , plus feels a lot lighter than the ST too, and the GTI is definitely a better all around car ... and we all the performance potential.

T Honzo I've had the gti 2 weeks now and it's great much better than the ST.

The tune won't hurt anything - but the engine break in is designed to help ensure the car is built properly and won't break down on you. So we would recommend waiting.

Glad to hear you are loving it Brian! What's next??

@@maperformance Tires! Michelin Pilot Sport 4S's going on tomorrow (spacers and stud conversion kit installed yesterday) and then tint next week. Then, we'll see... CAI perhaps?

Sounds like a good progression! Let us know if we can help.

Brian Copeland does the Cobb at include the pro tune

@@cbfa1 Just the off-the-shelf tunes. If you buy from MAPerformance, they'll include their ECU tune, which looks like has had a lot of thought put into it.

Craig Piotrowski help me Tom Cruise!

Help me Oprah Winnefree!

Yes, but you won't be taking full advantage of power, and you will get a CEL.

Daniel Kim yes.

No problems! This GTI has been daily driven for a few months now with no issues on the Cobb and the MAPerformance tune.

Thats amazing, thanks man! greetings from belgium!

Thanks Chesney! Feel free to give us a call or email and we would be happy to answer any other questions you have!

With the OTS stage 1, has it adjusted the dsg as well? Addressed delays?

The car is noticeably more snappy for sure!

You can go with an APR Stage 1+ which is warranty friendly.

@@nvllvoid4394 in what way is warranty compliant?

Get a jb4

Stage 2 will be intake and downpipe

Get a freektune bitch!

And since you're saying mps, you're not from the USA. Contact Justin at freektune and let him tune your speed. The Cobb ots maps are doo doo.

100%

With the simple stage 1 tune your car will still last a very long time with proper maintenance etc etc.

Unitronic with the cable you can flash and flash back to stock at home . Stage 1+ you could expect about 290whp and 330tq . Get the DSG tune as well if that's the gear box you have .

+walter spaulding thanks for the info, I was looking into JB1 witch I like because I can take the cables off whenever I take the car to VW for inspection. I read that any type of flash dose not revert to the original ECU and puts in its place a copy of the ECU. I'm still new, but very exited to be part of this

Omar Gonzales go apr... stage 1 91 file runs much higher numbers than others with great reliability. I have apr on both my cars.

Yes absolutely!

Kip James it's a DSG

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Thanks

Ken Prince the dsg has a sort of clutch to?.. :D isnt it more "breakable" after a tune?

Kip James clutch will always become an issue if it's stock. I bought the Cobb stage 1 and put in a normal spec 6 puck clutch that can handle 400lbs torque. No problems faster shift, better car.

How much does something like that run you? If you don't mind me asking.

Im pretty sure just an intake

Stage 2 is intake and downpipe and stage 0 is straight up stock setup.

Stage 1+ is generally just stock setup tuned for 93 octane and suggested cold air intake. Stage 1 is 91 octane, completely stock but cold air intake is fine.

Absolutely!

Yupp! We offer both 91 and 93 tunes.

What about 92 tunes....Oregon's highest octane.

We should have our MAP Stage 1 video out very soon!

Correct!

The GTI isn't bad at all. Very light car with front wheel drive just floats right over it. Although, not as good as the WRX! We have had a pretty light winter in MN so hard to say with the GTI...

I've had no problems with either my mk7 GTi or my mk6 GLi in the snow/ice in Delaware. I run winter tires on my cars (which everyone should honestly do regardless of drive wheels if you have cold temps in winter), and they handle awesome in that weather, and there hasn't been a single thing to get me stuck. I've run both Bridgestone Blizzak tires and Hankook iCept Evo's to try them both out. The Blizzak being a strictly cold weather snow tire is better in the snow, but doesn't handle as well (NOT bad) when it's above 45-50 degrees. The Hankook tire was a winter performance tire meant to be stiffer compared to a traditional winter tire, so it does very well in the snow, but does exceptionally well when the temp does exceed 45-50 degrees. Both tires are hilariously better than any all season or summer tire once the temps drop below 50 degrees for any length of time whether there is snow or not. :)

+Kamukix thanks for the response ! I've been heavily looking into it but my wrx only has 10k miles on it so I believe I'm going to order the accessport and intake through map and run it for awhile and see how I like it because I do love the looks of my car and do love hooning it in the snow

jetbike97 not a bad plan, they're very good cars, much better (except for the sound haha) than the previous models. I test drove the new model before I bought the GTi, and I think the WRX has come a very long way interior wise even though it's not nearly the VW level, it's still a MUCH better place to be than the 2013 which felt like I was still driving the 90's model with more power haha. I wouldn't be sad if I were you, you've got a very good car, also I love that new steering wheel. It felt GREAT in my hands (the shape is more flat on the sides than the GTi and GLi which are also amazing wheels). I've got 35k on my GTi now and had just about 100k on my GLi. No issues, but I've never had issues with my cars anyway (had quite a few haha)

+Kamukix I really thought about getting a older wrx or sti but I read so much good and bad things about the ej motors and I liked the fact of the new fa motor with the twin scroll turbo I love vw interior and love hatches that's why I wanted a wrx hatch so bad if only they still made them because I'm so scared to buy a used Subaru I will own a golf r one day tho!

Power wise, with the Cobb stage 1s they are pretty close. Our soon to be released MAPerformance stage 1 makes quire a bit more power on the Mk7 than on the WRX, though :]

zm5431 I am jb1 which makes a little more power and I obliterate my friends 2016 stage 2 wrx from a roll of course. No pro tune. Same with Sti's.

definitely! Moreover, with jb4 you won't have any problems with warranty.

We haven't tested it... but I believe so!

It doesn't matter. Once the ecu is flashed, you're good. I rock mine, as I always monitor my knock, boost, bat, LTFT, and hpfp actual in my speed3.

Correct! You don't start adding bolt-ons until Stage 2.

Without a doubt the biggest difference with tuned vs stock is the smoothness of the engine response, no more lurching off idle or between gears

Nope! Minnesota!

Hopefully not long!!

Not going to happen ;)

Ian Peterson ok I guess you'll just have to focus 100% on that WRX!

LOL. Correct. But I am also making my 1.8T Golf a sleeper as well ;)

Actually nothing! We genuinely love this tune.

On our website, over the phone, email, any way you choose!

Do you have support for the 2017 MK7 GTI SE yet?

A bit from stage 1, stage 2 might be something to consider!

@@maperformance What are power numbers and requirements for stage 2

@@trooper_f30 downpipe. Look at APRs website for power numbers

Brendan Fogel I thought the same thing but once you get in it it’s actually a nice accent too the interior

Maybe only a bit louder when under throttle. Not very noticeable.

Nope!

15 mpg in the city and not being able to drive the GT Mustang 5 months out of the year because of snow makes it a poor daily driver.

@@Jagivar he get the same mileage as me if not better plus more reliable and it won't be any worse then the gti in the winter I live in Maine I know snow
