[@FeLiPZ06]

Nice set up. I have a 2017 jetta 1.4tsi. Same color and interior. I've been wanting to tune the car and learn what else I could do to get more out of the car. Still kinda slow for my taste. The only thing I did change was I installed an Injen cold air intake. I take it off during the summer cause it's sucking in too much hot air or when i go do smog. I run the stock housing with a K&N filter for like 2 months. In the cold months, I slap it back on. I like humbling stock civic owners and Kia toasters when they are driving like irresponsible jacka$$3$. When it hits 4th-5th gear it launches 😂 😂 intake alone sounds mean. I know not to get near a ranger or maverick on city streets. The tires that were on the car when I bought it used from a vw dealer were Cooper tires. I'm not sure the model but the traction out of those tires and the supposed traction control of the car impressed the hell out of me when an elderly woman at an intersection turned right and did an excessive lane change. She Pulled out slow into my center lane and almost took out another driver in the 1st lane. speed limit is 50. I was doing about 45 in the 2nd lane because it transitions from 50 to 45 to 40 within a few blocks. I hit the brakes and dipped to the 3rd lane to get out of the way and get around. Driver in the 1st lane another elderly person panicked and hauled ass to avoid getting hit. Tries to jump into the 2nd lane where I was going to having the 1st lane empty for a whole block. I Ended up gunning it and zig-zaged in between cars to avoid crashing or being hit. Felt like I was about to lose tire grip but it handled like a champ. I'm a chevy, ford person, but I like vw's as well.

I have Falken FK510 UHP tires installed and they're great for a daily driver. The new Bridgestone Potenza Sport is a bit better overall in that class. But it sounds like your looking for a 200 treadwear tire (aka UUHP) if you can sacrifice the wet handling. Tyrereviews on youtube does a majority of his tests with a 1.4T Golf btw.

[@MK6CHRIS]

Oh really ? Thank you for that. How do they compare to the Michelin’s? I just make just under 288wtq on the low end so it slips a lot.

[@johnathanyinger]

@@MK6CHRIS I've driven a GTI PP with Pilot Sport 4S, but it was 18in. I thought the car was too stiff for daily driving. I'm in the northeast where potholes are insane, but it's probably nice on a 17in. I know you're on BCs now, which I've had on a car with BFG Comp-2 A/S Plus. That tire felt on par with the Falkens on the Jetta. However the Falkens on center steering is less responsive than either. It's hard to say the PS4S is worth $80 more a tire since you can get a UUHP for less.

Hey chris whats your opinion on the 1.8T i just bought a 2018 and really looking into going to stage 1. What should I work on first? Love the content G keep it up

[@MK6CHRIS]

hey my friend, I think the 1.8T is an awesome platform and is based off the older 1.8s that use to chase big power. These newer 1.8s don't get love and don't have a lot of support. A lot of " off the shelf " tunes are not available because they believe reliability when tuned goes down too much. What 1.8 do you have? Jetta? Those sounds great ( better than mine ) with a proper exhaust and tune. Stage 1 is a good start, however I skipped to stage 2 to save time and money. First, I would say do your services then get an intake or exhaust. I would say intake first, cheap and sounds great. I have lots of content and more coming, I am trying to get together with some 1.8t jettas and compare/contrast. Feel free to ask any question, I appreciate it.

Hey that's awesome. My first disclaimer is, you live in California , the worst state for car mods. Since they are illegal. You will not pass smog and cops can take your car. Second disclaimer is, you cannot make 400whp on stock turbo. You'll need a hybrid or something like that. Parts are tough to fine for the 1.8 nowadays. You'll need the basic, intake, downpipe, charge pipes, fmic, and probably cooler. Now where to find it? Well, you have to do research. Google, the vwvortex, and youtube is your best friend.

[@Visionaryakafonzfoederl]

I have a 1.4t se vw jetta 2017, I was thinking about a stage 2, what would you say about gas mileage after the upgrade. And are you automatic or stick shift, because I have stick shifts, so I know that would definitely change things a bit.

[@Visionaryakafonzfoederl]

You answer my question, but I’m more interested in knowing how much it deters, let’s say if you are having a little fun, but not going overboard, maybe a couple pulls every once in while.

[@MK6CHRIS]

Hey so mpg is greatly impacted by the tune/software and the drivers habits. If you driver normally with a tune you’ll see a 5-10% decrease in mpg. I averaged 30-35mpg in my Jetta 1.4.

[@Visionaryakafonzfoederl]

@@MK6CHRIS ok thanks that’s definitely something to consider, and maybe I’ll do something a little smaller to start off with, and see how it effects me, because I got my car and I love it, I just think it lacks a little power, and I was looking to get a little more power, without breaking the bank, and suffering the consequences of high gas prices. But stock it does really well on gas, i average about 525 miles per tank. And I’m getting roughly 34 miles per gallon.

Does this void factory warranties or car shield protection plans?

[@MK6CHRIS]

your warranty doesn't get voided. They just deny to fix something that has been modified. So, if your window motor stops they'll fix it. But if your actual car motor stops, then they will send you away

Any of these upgrades worth it on an automatic or should I wait until I get my hands on a manual transmission?

[@MK6CHRIS]

why would auto or manual matter? It's preference. Our 1.4s are slow so we need every perk we can get! Autos are faster anyways. TBH u can't ask worth when it really is, preference.
