2012 VW CC-R 2.0TSI from stock to 355HP!

With HPA Motorsports Inc. Stage 3 Turbo Kit, DSG software, BBS (official) CH-R Wheels, Milltek Sport Exhaust, and Bilstein PSS10 coilovers.. this is a 355HP sedan that launches hard, and still gets 30+ MPG. Now who wouldn't be proud of that!
Many thanks to 3zero3motorsports.com for sharing their excellent video.

i miss my 2010 CC so much. got rear ended 2018 Christmas day. I loved that car

[@svtman93]

Despite this car not feeling THAT sporty driving wise, the fact that the 2.0T is so potent and easily tunable make it one of the ultimate sleepers :) I raced a friends modded e36 m3 with my bone stock cc and we were dead even,also raced a 2012 V6 camaro and that race was pretty suprising :P CC FTW!

[@robotdeathrider]

A friend (Ramsey) lent me his stock 2012 2.0t cc... I got his average mpg up to 37.8 and that includes several "launches"! I said I wouldn't be getting another fwd car or an automatic... Paradigm shift! The dsg transmission was a total marvel and the efficiency of the motor blows away anything I've ever driven. Btw the first car I ever bought was an 89 240sx coupe. This is the most sensible choice I never would have made. Thanks Ramsey, 300hp and 35 mpg here I come! One last thing, I would put the trans in N every time I let off the gas to coast. Especially if I knew I had to slow down for a light or a turn. Increased the mpg up to 135 for the moment. The tdi does this automatically. Think it could be done by fiddling with the ecu?

[@Adismalevic]

Fyi Putting any car in neutral wastes more gas than letting the car coast in gear

[@Chris-wp7et]

What front bumper is that?? Looks very similiar to my OEM one but mine doesn't have the lip at the bottom.

[@Churboiismiley]

Not bad. I managed to get my 2.0t to hit 0-60 in just 5.4 seconds timed. My friend has a 2012 stock and it hits 0-60 faster than another friends 2014 brand new 2.0 stock version. VW is making the engine weaker rather than faster in those newer CC models IMO.

For the price of a CC and the full kit you are better off buying a Golf R or B8 Audi S4. With a used B8 S4, exhaust, intake, and stage 2 (chip, supercharger pulley) you are making 450AWHP (500+ at the motor) for around the same price as this CC

[@justkiddin1980]

What i would like to know is, how long did the engine and transmission survive after these mods??? Because the 2.0 and 1.8 tsi don’t have a reputation of beeing reliable...with stock performance..

[@commando3093]

Idk who told you that but totally not true. The engine can handle a stage1 + ECU and TCU tune easily on a fully stock CC. And it can handle up to 400whp with a few bolt ons.

[@commando3093]

Now granted you’d obviously want to keep up a bit more on maintenance but that goes for any vehicle especially modded

[@RedBaronisa]

The reason people say these are unreliable is because they dont do the maintenance needed. For instance the dq250 transmission needs to be serviced every 40,000 miles. This is literally how i got my VW CC cuz the owner did not get the maintenance done and i copped it for $1793. Not all CCs come with that transmission. Some come with the 09g which can go a long time without maintenance. The dq250 is an automated manual transmission in the sense of it’s a manual that is controlled by electronics and hydraulic systems. Has no planetary gears or clutch bands like a standard automatic. This is why its real particular about the maintenance. The one i purchased only had 70,000 miles on it. They skipped maintenance 😂
