BACKROAD Driving In My EQT Tuned MK7 GTI!

[@anthonydelk556]

Little beast of a car

[@DArias]

Idk about beast but def fun! Haha

[@aaronmartinez885]

Driving good to me. You’re hitting great speeds on the short straight aways then braking and going through bends pretty easily

[@DArias]

Thanks man! Driving is ok just for fun lol not trying to claim to be good which I’m not

[@markmendez9331]

Good rips bro. Glad the clutch isn’t giving issues (yet) lol

[@DArias]

Thanks man! And let’s hope she lasts for a decent while but if it goes I’m prepared

[@dallasmitchell3878]

Simple setup such as rpf1s and some ps4s would really make this thing handle great paired with a good coilover setup

[@DArias]

That’s not a bad option but recently been thinking I kinda wanna put the neuspeed wheels on my s3 on my gti and get new wheels for the s3 😅

[@patdella5164]

To be honest bro not bad driving at all. Granted for the stock setup I wouldn’t push it too hard either. Better setup will grant you the ability to push harder. Once you do a better setup take it right back there and go all out

[@Chris-qe6qr]

How has the clutch held up?

[@DArias]

Going strong!

[@Chris-qe6qr]

@@DArias that’s awesome to hear, how many miles have you put on it with the tune?

[@limitededition3278]

Would I lie to you? I told you would be fine. I have had mine tuned by EQT for a year with no issue on the clutch but I only do spirited driving at times in the mountains. Enjoy!

[@DArias]

I’m glad it’s holding up! Haha wish I had some mountains and more backroads around here to hoon around

[@limitededition3278]

@@DArias hey you have the cars that is all you need next stop the canyons mountains 😁

[@rileywagner6741]

hey how many miles did you get out of that stock clutch before you had to replace it? i have my port coming in friday

[@nicksnyder4469]

That torque steer in 2nd though.. how much power and torque do you think it’s making? Moves out pretty good

[@DArias]

Yes there’s a bit not too bad though. I would say around 280-290 wheel max and mid 300s for torque at the wheels

[@Sinisterkid31]

Clutch still feels good?

[@DArias]

So far so good and the cars been getting decently abused

[@phwoooaar]

which clutch will you be going with? Sach SRE or Ringer Racing?

[@giorgosdimitriou4731]

How does it compare to your r56 mini?

[@DArias]

The mini def handled a bit better but hard to compare. Never took the mini out on backroads with no suspension. Once I do wheels tires and suspension on the gti I’ll have a way better comparison. The gti however is much much quicker

[@giorgosdimitriou4731]

@@DArias Thanks for the feedback💯

[@yodo5701]

do you need that accessport plugged in all the time when tuning with EQT?

[@DArias]

You do not, I have it up just to make sure everything is good. In my s3 I’m also EQT tuned and keep the accessport in my glovebox

[@jamesh2185]

hey does the cts turbo intake pass smog?

[@DArias]

In my state it does no issues. I do believe it’s 50 state legal but don’t quote me on that.
