Wish i could find videos of 0-60 and 60-130 times with the stage 1 ecu and tcu

[@swankestmule]

Let’s get that TCU cracked!

[@rullmad]

Golf 8 R stage 1 100-200 time ?

[@razerone49]

Until I see some drag times and dyno figures this it’s all just hype.

[@papayspeanut]

I have a gti on their E85 tune it’s quick! The R is even faster so it should be very solid

[@davidrector1450]

455hp on just a software tune? I’m guessing this is highly misleading.

[@MrAtvfan]

depending on octane and mods

[@CliffB5A4]

It does say no hardware but I'm guessing the "Max output" means with mods.

[@puddin1455]

It says in the description that it depends on your mods. That 455 is on E85 with bolt ons.

That is with a downpipe and ethanol. Just a tune by itself would put you at 442hp/430tq or 410whp/410wtq. Look at what Unitronic and 034 (or maybe its IE) have for their numbers. A few people have gotten close to 500hp on the stock turbo, but that was in the earlier stages of development. I’m sure that was time goes by, someone will break 500 at the crank

[@puddin1455]

@@PapiAndrey Stage 2 involves more than just a downpipe and ethanol unless things have changed for the mark 8. Stage one would be the downpipe and ethanol. Even Unitronics stage 1+ requires a intercooler to hit their power numbers.
