A good tire should be the next mod. The tire spin is screwing up your launch. 4700rpm launch with a radial tire on the car and it should be 3.7 0-60 capable.
I'd drop the rpm down to 3000 to help the wheel spin and get a TCU tune for quicker shifts. You may get a 3.8 out of it then. There are also some other cheaps mods you can do like the airbox fix and a Turbo inlet pipe. Those will also pick you up 5 - 10 horses
Just curious do you still own your Golf R. I'm located in Southern Ontario and interested in getting a Mark 7.5 Golf R, would like to chat with you about your car.
Yes I still have it. It’s performance, tech, and quality is impressive for the price. Go for it! MK7.5! I’m still EQT stage 1 91octane ECU and EQT DSG tuned. Love it. If getting EQT DSG tune make sure to not select any of the Cobb options. Those suck, EQT all the way.
@@netcruzer Hello! I am in the montreal area, I have 2019 golf r mk7.5. it already has a stage 1+ unitronic ecu tune with a stage 1 dsg tune. The tune is amazing and completely changes the car, it is so much faster now. I bought an OBDEleven pro pack to have a scanner for it, but also because of all the control unit app changes that are available. I noticed it has an option to change your engine behaviour to audi mapping and also a throttle response upgrade app, these won't interfere with the unitronic tunes I already have? I wanted to apply these settings from the OBDeleven but hesitated because of the tunes I have. Do you think it is safe to?
What's the difference between the Cobb launch control and the DSG's built in launch control? Did you try 0-60 with the Cobb one off? I was looking into Cobb for my tune because I have a manual, so no built in launch control.
If you have Cobb launch you can’t use OEM launch anymore. It fully replaces it. The Cobb is more adjustable and builds boost during launch mode. OEM may actually perform better though and quicker off the brake. If you have manual, I’d suggest not launching as it will rip through your clutch quick. Get Cobb LC if you want cool 2 step noises during launch rev.
@@netcruzer Do you have an option to enable or add Eqt traction control (ignition based) with their OTS software? In theory it could perform better but it could be utilized as part of Cobb LC anyway, speculating.
@@MrSelp44 do you even have a manual golf? The stock clutch is weak and it’s recommended by every single tuner to upgrade the clutch as it’ll start slipping even on a stage 1 tune
How did you get the needle sweep to work? I have an SEAT Ateca FR 2019 and i have activated needle sweep with OBDeleven but it dosent work. My needles arent moving. I have the digital cockpit on my car.
My friends got a 7.5R and they sweep by default for him (when he bought the car) . Ive got an 7R and had to code it via obdeleven. it's a staging setting. easily searchable on Google.
I got a mk7 Golf R and just did the COBB OTS Stage 1 High Boost tune for 91 Octane fuel and my 0-60 time didn't change. Still doing 4.9secs. You think getting the EQT stage 1 instead will drop me to 4secs flat like yours?
Christian Khoury use www.eqtuning.com and choose a “staged” tune for your car that best matches your parts and fuel availability. I’m on EQT Stage1 91 v2.01, the other stuff is options for launch control type, burbles options, manual trans flat foot options, DSG auto upshift options, etc. Choose what best suites your car and style. If I had E30 fuel available I’d choose that it’s the most powerful stage1
I average 8-9L per 100km with spirited driving yes. If I drive ECO I can get in the high 6L. I think this is the most efficient gas 300+HP AWD cad you can get.
@@netcruzer 8 liters with foot on the gas? Yeah right. Your R must be producing fuel lol. It cannot spend less then 12 with "spirited" driving. Or maybe you have gtd hahaha. Pls dont bullshit poor people that never drove R that dont know the real consumption. You can get 8 maybe if you drive 120 on a highway
@@VuBeClanand now you will tell me its all city driving lol... Why do you even have R to have 7 liters consumption. Just amazing. My average is 14, but I live in a large city and I drive the car like it should be driven.

@@netcruzer thanks.
whats the difference between the cobb launch control vs the standard launch control that comes with the car?
Another great video! I would be interested in knowing what the acceleration numbers are without launch control.
Yes I should try that. Thanks. 😁
Are you still running the tune? How's it holding up?
The moans on the 1st launch thoooo..had me dead asf 😂😂
Love your videos man
Doesn’t eqt say that the stock launch control is better for the DSG?
Great video ! How does one get a more detailed speedometer like this?
I've seen stage 1 golf rs hit 3.7
An upgraded tire will get you there . Try Michelin Pilot Sport 4s.
Did you notice if the tune change the Audi long code you made months ago, as far as throttle response?
Still have Audi response, I didn’t check hex coding but it’s quite aggressive on throttle, even more with the DSG and ECU tune too.

You can log your 0 to 60 on the access port just a fyi. Cool video. Nice car
You can, bit it’s very inaccurate 0-60, nearly useless.
The way you let that rev down in 3rd hurt my soul
What app did you use to measure 0-60? Heard something like torque with Carista. Can you share more details please?
That’s correct. I’m using Torque app to measure 0-60 from their live gauges. It’s not as accurate as a Dragy but best option I currently have.
@@netcruzer The one that is on Android only? Built by Ian Hawkins?
@@scroitoru Yes it's Android only

How come your golf r has dials on the centre display? mine is all touch screen
? North American R ? I’ve never seen one all touch here they are all like this.
@@netcruzer hmm interesting
Stage1 mk7 is basically same as stock mk8
The friggin moans at the first launch

My R came with needle sweep. So did my previous GTI. I didn’t code add it.

bro came 3 times on the furst launch
This comment has me fucking dying 🤣🤣🤣
how safe is ecu tune..
why the manifacture when they made the golf dont do this.. but they leave 300hp...
ps . i want to do mine too.. 7.5r
