I mean as expected ,these things tuned are insane ,if i had to guestimate the times that thing tuned will atleast do a 3.4 0 to 60 on sea level, and proper launch, and prepped surface. Now it makes you wanna do that to yours,im sure you plan to even tough its your daily for the most part,only thing is how it will hold up relaibility wise with mods.
My MK7 GTI has been tuned it’s entire life. Original owner. It has 163k miles currently. Been Stage 1.5, Stage 2, and for the last 4 years, been IS38 custom tuned and WMI the last year and a half. Perfect compression, and never any big issues. Definitely reliable.
@@mqbr22 yeah, I would love to know if it converts to a mid to low 11 second 1/4 mile time adjusting for DA. Unfortunately 034 and other tunes aren't seeing huge benefits going stage 2 with very expensive downpipes.
@@racer247 Yea down pipe not worth it. I also wanna see if it could be at least a 11.4-11.5 with that E85 tune. Maybe intercooler would help for sure tho
@@mqbr22 yep, fortunately we get to see what mod's gains help a lot and what is really not needed. IC for sure but 4 or 5K for exhaust, downpipe and Intake for 20 or 30HP doesn't make much sense.
His comment about the pops… 034 tunes have a pretty aggressive burble tune unless you opt for the non-burbles tunes. Maybe he didn’t have the exhaust in sport?
For some reason the 034 tune for the MQBevo retains the stock burbles. Even in race, there was no difference in burbles after the tune. But I agree 034s pop tunes are usually aggressive just not with the new MQBevo tunes, at least for the Mk8.
tempting to get a 20th in manual. I miss my MKIV R32. But my 2015 GTI SE DSG 2 door is making my life difficult. Of the 4 golf's I've owned, all have been 2 doors. I can't bring myself to upgrade to the newer 4 door variants. So from Stage I APR to Stage 3 IE in the GTI it is... and I'll just pick up a GT4 or GT3 with 3 pedals as soon as my crypto portfolio takes off. Ha. Nice R though. Subbed to see how it progresses.
The reviewer's biggest gripe, most owners use the steering wheel volume. Rarely touch the climate controls besides turning AC off before a race. 😂 The biggest gripe I have is the super slow wireless charging that makes me think my phone is going to explode from the heat.
E85 should be a little more than 70 horse diff I think. Just Stage 1 alone on 93, completely stock otherwise, is an ~80 horsepower difference. I'd say on E85 it should be around a 100-110 horsepower difference. If he's on a flex tune though, he's probably not on true E85, because not all E85 stations put out true E85, some are like E50, for example. So if he's on flex tune, it'll adjust the tune depending on how much ethanol content he has, which could be as low as like E40 I'd say, but, he could be on true E85 if he has a good gas station that puts out reliably. On another note, you should look into going flex/E85 yourself homie, there's lots of videos on TH-cam showing how to install an ethanol sensor and then the flex tune will read the content, and adjust your tune accordingly.
great video! question, when you run apple carplay and are using that for nacigation, does that still come up in the gauge cluster screen or does nav only work in the screen from the vw navigation system ?
It really not that much of a difference as i thought it was gonna be a huge difference but it not. Now tune the stock golf R and that will show the real results
It's kinda hard to tell horsepower gains by being gapped especially when FWD vs AWD may play a bigger role. That's why trap speeds are so important. You destroyed that Mustang GT but using his trap speed we know its making way more horsepower.
I was looking for a video tune vs not tune. Best TH-cam video for sure
Thanks!

@JacesOwnWorld holy shit, that's why I love this car, heavy tuning and over 150k miles is hard to find these days
Fantastic video. Racing of the dig was point on. Roll race still showed the difference
I wish there were videos on tuned mk8 golf r’s on TH-cam. I just want to see what every mod will do with backed by draggy data.
Me too! I’ll try to get another video in with Daryl
Would've loved to see dragy numbers on the car vs your car on the same night to really know the difference. Great content Thanks
I will try to meet up with him in the future to see :)
Yes I came to write the same comment. That video would be fire for us R owners

Cant wait to see what a mk8 golf r on a 91/93 tune only does 0-60 and 1/4 mile and 60-130
Stock is like 12.5 seconds in the 1/4 mile. I'd imagine with 93 tune, should be very close, or maybe even in the 11s. Maybe.
Not a huge difference in the launch but definitely top end, I feel like the tune with e85 should be moving better
It was definitely pulling hard
I just still can’t believe VW didn’t put button backlighting on these cars. Crazy.
It is strange, but I don’t really use those touch buttons under the screen anyway

Nice runs 😎
I know. It would give your mustang a run for its money ;)
@@JVette01 looks like I’m going to have to get a e85 tune 😅
Ikr
@@302chris9 and a tire
I want a mk8r so bad so great u can run e85 and dont need to change anything and love interioat night i love the mk8r i want one
It definitely got more top end wow
I still would want the manual
DSG is so much better but I get it for the hardcore manual guys
Pretty sure DSG tune is available for 23's
Link?
APR. Eurotek tuning ask for Leo.
@brettgaldieri3873 did they say something like if it can't be unlocked, they'll get back to you with a tuned tcu in a week or so?
Mk8s and 8Y s3 growing on me after racing them. Lol.

You clearly don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.

The gauges use VW navigation, not WAZE.
@@JVette01 dang that’s a bummer you can’t put it in there
Do you think it would smoke m2 as well
Already did that race - th-cam.com/video/icnkxrLNZag/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qYIE8r4MrChNwJuK
Does the black one also have a dsg tune or is it just E85 and ecu ?
DSG tune as well! His is an early 22 model that could be tuned
It really not that much of a difference as i thought it was gonna be a huge difference but it not. Now tune the stock golf R and that will show the real results
It is a huge difference. The way he was pulling was like a solid 6-7mph gap
@@JVette01 well of course your is stock now tune your car it going be a different story

True.
Id say e85 have 100more hp
Seems about right
