I've had a 16 Golf R manual for 18 months. My first mod was an APR Stage 1, two weeks after taking delivery. For about $800 including installation (by the dealer's tuner shop), the difference was day and night! Adding over 60 HP and 100 FT LBS torque was a supremely cost-effective mod. Recently I had the same shop add a FMIC and CAI (both APR) mainly so I could keep my gains through the Florida summer heat. There was a noticeable bump in power and, no doubt, my turbo and engine will thank me over the long summer. I tentatively plan to go Stage 2 (with downpipe) within a year or so but will have to upgrade the clutch which will add considerable cost to the Stage 2. Right now the car's running great and I'm not in a huge hurry so I may wait until my clutch is slipping bad enough to warrant the outlay.

[@jaredbaker8252]

My point of view for tuning car: 1) Get better brakes 2) Get quality tires 3) Have new suspension 4) Engine upgrades 5) Exhaust upgrades 6) Put bigger turbo and intercoolers I also own Audi A4 B7 2.0tfsi

Some tuning companies offer steep discounts on their stage 2 tune if you've already purchased their stage 1 tune. In fact, for some, you only pay the difference between the two, so you're not losing any money by going stage 1 first.

[@mamba101]

Step 1) Better brakes Step 2) better tyres

[@MrTeknown]

Better tyres it's number one then the brakes, if they are worn out, change them, if not, it's waste of money. Remap is next. I don't really like the idea of high flow air filters, but people use kn and they seem to love it. If your shocks are bad, you can replace it with some coilovers, lower it a little. But if your suspension is still good, I feel like it's not a huge deal. Exaust and turbo if you want more power but you will be limited from a lot of stuff and it becomes expensive and not sure how reliable for a daily.

[@jmanjuice710]

Edward Malone thank u. Thank u a lot...

[@dysonspreybar4903]

Interesting thing about vws and Audi's is that their brake tech was way ahead of their American and Japanese counterparts. A nice set of pads and rotors is likely to be enough for most people

DaytonCarCare apr Is free if you have downpipe

[@corbinhaynes7543]

NOTE IF YOU OWN A TDI: Do NOT get a downpipe (DPF delete) before getting a tune! The car will still try to do regen cycles and the EGT's will be so hot you'll melt your bumper and other not good stuff.

[@thizzwero17]

Corbin Haynes so tune first?

[@corbinhaynes7543]

That's what I'd recommend. Optimally do it at the same time but tune first should be alright

[@progmanmike]

Corbin Haynes Apr requires you downpipe before stage ll

[@corbinhaynes7543]

Well I mean it should be fine and I'm not an expert on this but again all I can say is optimal scenario is doing them both at the same time

[@DaytonCarCare]

You don't need a tune if only mounting a test pipe. You'll have to get a o2 adapter for the lower sensor if you don't want to trigger a CEL. Though if you want it done properly any mod to your engine you should prepare for dyno tunes for max performance. Many people do a flash static tune to their car that was mapped from another similar car, it may work but not the proper way to do it.

[@Sibsko21]

First mods on my TT Quattro were brass shifter bushings. Couple the bushings with the dogbone insert makes for a really crisp shifter. After that I got a 42dd turboback and a cts front mount. Then a 4bar fpr and a stage 2 tune from motoza performance. Pulls so strong now and is a really fun time. Now I'm going hybrid frankenturbo and I'm really excited as to how it will pull.

[@bulletsRflying]

Quick and simple, Get the Stage 2 by Revo. a down-pipe, intake, and lower torque mount for your transmission. (if you wanna go crazy get the BSH engine mounts, car will run like a dump truck for 3 months before the mounts set in tho) :D You will Thank me later. Orrr you can just get a intake and stage 1 tune by Revo. Who knows, later on if you feel like it, you can get the stage 2 tune upgrade for just $300.

[@diamxndrex1892]

I fully agree with everything said in this video, stage one is a waste and so are high name tunes like Uni, which i had first then went eurodyne mistero later. this is my order of mods on any car ive owned 1. coilovers 2. tires 3. exhaust 4. tune 5. intake / i.c. piping 6. breaks 7. vagcom, make your car how you want it to be, at least from my point of view over the past 2 years with youtube getting big in the scene and everyone wanting to be cool with cars the scene has taken a shit in toronto. do shit for your own personal enjoyment not everyone in your "club" or meet. 2step, burnouts and drifting have theyre place at the end of a meet rules are meant for sports lol.

Oil catch can is a good mod for these also to keep your engine clean and upgrade to a HPFP after your tune.

[@JagoTFC]

For my mk5 GTI i went stage1 and R8 coils + ngk iridium ix plugs. I want to put an S3 intercooler (or bigger) and a downpipe 200 cell with catback. I had a BMC sport filter but since I live in the countryside it doesn't catch dirt so I went back to paper filter and I'm going to keep paper filter while modding. Could look after a TTS intake with K04. Swap with the CDL from mk6 R/TTS/S3. Now that's a dream, most realistic, economical, reliable thing is ecu, a larger intake (you know the carbon look ones), stock filter and downpipe. I went for stickier tyres because I live in the countryside and the GTI is already low enough.

[@joshuariggins8713]

Definitely about stock height and aftermarket wheels… Some of us live in Colorado where we can’t afford to push snow all winter long

[@htnsview]

Reason for the thick to thin charge pipe is because having a change like that pulls in more air than just having a straight through pipe

Yup my b7 audi first mod was coilovers lol that ride height drove me crazy i lowered it same week i bought it. Then engine internal things cam follower chain and tenioner. Finally 3 months later got a test pipe and downpipe and deleted rear resonator to go with new rims. Next is intake and apr stage 2!

[@AudiA3Newbie]

The way it should go is. (1) intake (2)intercooler (3) stage 2 & downpipe (4) exhaust You will get the most of ur car and with that sweet intercooler u will keep that power at all times instead of having it to start getting hotter air temps and start losing power.

[@glubibobi]

I’d say I’d you have a mk5 or mk6 gti with higher mileage, definitely get engine and trans mounts, dogbone and replace your from lower control arm bushing or upgrade them to S3 bushing. I’m not tune but I felts a big difference in power delivery and response with new mounts and I have 0 wheel hop. Event though the mounts are stiffer, the car feels a lot smoother to drive in most cases.

[@joem3970]

It depends on your tuner. If a stage 1 tune is $350 and stage 2 is $450 and they only charge you the difference to go up to stage 2 then no stage 1 is not a waste. You have to spend more money to get to stage 2 so why not enjoy stage 1 until you have the money/parts to go to stage 2? Also, maintenance is a difference maker, if you have bad plugs, a boost leak or vacuum leak you'll be pretty disappointed in a tune that you've spent money on. Just my 2c.

[@AdrenalineTheory]

Some companies dont charge to upgrade to a stage 2 tune if you ate using their parts to upgrade. APR is one of the big ones.

[@moncier77]

Getting ready to modify my Audi TT225. Started off with new metal fin water pump and Gates timing belt and tensioner. Now heading over to new exedy clutch and flywheel. Then new CAI, then diverter forge 007 and then downpipe... deleting the resonator. After all that’s done then I’m Doing my stage 2

[@akilla214u2c]

I like this vid, as I'm just at this stage. But I'm not too, concerned with the Built vs Brought concept as technically I'm buying everything anyway. And whether I build it or someone else does, I still brought it. So, the 5 step intro mod 1. Intake 2. Down pipe 3. Stage 2 tune (expensive) 4. Quick shift (I like this one. The stock long pull is painful at times) 5. Lower, wheels and shocks (mild expensive)

[@plasmamuffinsgaming]

I first did a muffler and resonator delete, then I got a unitronic intake from some guy on Craigslist, then I got H&R Sport springs, but I need to change my clutch so I've been parting together the RSR clutch and the last thing I need is the pressure plate. Then I can do coil packs and new spark plugs, a downpipe, and I'm gunna go straight to stage 2 :)

[@dub99ful]

Plasmamuffins rsr clutch is a good choice. very close to stock feel and noise. mines still good after 10,000 miles.

[@kevina4674]

Stage 2 calls for exhaust 3 inch maf and inner cooler at minimum. First mods you should be doing is Swiss cheese your airbox then exhaust inner cooler grab a Audi 3 inch maf housing at scrap yard then tune. Also will need a 007 diverter cause the old one isn’t gonna be holding 20+ psi for long without ripping.

[@marcelout2launch437]

Spot on, but track or at least street density mounts are requirement for stage 2 power. Due to significant increase of torque, excessive movement of the soft stock transmission and engine mounts will cause deterioration of other parts. The polyurethane lower transmission mounts do not last long either, a better option would be a solid insert or HPA red puck.

[@cowboyb.7343]

I see one issue... if you're mk6, and you wanna go stage2, chances are your clutch will slip! I started losing my clutch on stage 1 high torque of the latest revision of APR's software, so I flashed back to the low torque file. ...Now since then, I got a SouthBend Stage 2 Endurance clutch, a K04 and a Wavetrac (which I HIGHY recommend) but honestly anyone with a TSI motor should budget a clutch in, just in case.

[@s9523pink]

I did APR Stage 1, found out about Stage 2 after the fact😭; live and learn! Kholfaser Cold Air Intake, seems, coupled with the tune, to make a big difference in power. Didn't know that Intake makes it sound better; wondered why my car sounded more powerful, even turbo whine is more pronounced! Might do springs, but just VW sport springs, maybe.....

[@buddahbaker]

I was thinking this guy must have the best mk5 I've ever seen. Went Unitronic Stage 1+. Didnt take long before things started failing. GFB DV+ was a must, stock diverter tore within a week. R8 coilpacks and stage colder plugs. Wheel hop was terrible, so motor mounts and dogbone insert. Why he would waste so much $ on an intake when you can do an airbox mod for free. Carbon clean is must do depending on mileage. Downpipe and stage 2 will show how weak the rear main seal is. Most def need to upgrade rear main. Straight to Stage 2 will have you scrambling to fix things or a broke down car. Stage 2 with DSG, and a DSG tune should be considered to reset shift points for S drive. Otherwise misfire and fouling plugs, so DSG manual shifts it is. Coilovers when the suspension goes. Otherwise really quick car

Charge/discharge pipes will be next and then I am going with the JB1 piggyback and CTS Turbo catted downpipe with stock cat-back, after that until my warranty runs out. Then Ill probably lower the car on some coilers and then wait for warranty to go out and go stage 2 with upgraded mounts.

i am testing something on my a6 2.7t engine. it works best with the stock airbox sealed, k&n panel air filter, and the stock restrictive intake ribbed hose replaced with a straight flowing plastic or aluminum one. what im trying to figure out, is what works best for this engine. a 3 inch diameter pipe or a 4 inch. the 3 inch diameter pipe is a LITTLE bit smaller than the intake box hole and the t pipe hole, so i think what happens is, the air comes in through the airbox, the 3 inch diameter pipe is a little bit smaller than the stock ribbed 3.5 inch pipe, so it pressurizes the air a little bit more, and that results in more air for the engine and it has a BIT more power, not much but just an extra kick at places i have noticed. with the 4 inch diameter im running right now and testing, it seems as though it lets more air in but it doesn't seem like it's getting pressurized as much to get that LITTLE bit of extra "punch". the car is fast either way, but I think the 3 inch diameter pipe because the air is going from a little bigger diameter, to .5 inches smaller, then back to bigger is pressurizing the air to make it go into the y pipe to feed the turbos more. I have to keep on testing, but the 3 inch diameter pipe may actually work better than the 4 inch diameter pipe believe it or not! you would think the 4 inch diameter pipe would work the best, but it seems like it's the same and sometimes a little less of an "vroom" when i launch and stuff. I'll let you guys know :)

My first mod is almost always a nice sound system or window tint

I like the cold air intake buuuut its not for every car. My buddy has a 2011 crown vic and cold air intake does more bad than good. Same with my 05 forester xt, for some reason I get a maf code thrown when I put an air intake in. Something to do with the way the air flow is being sucked in

Another important mod are tires that sure is very important

New to the VW scene! What's great to start with? Was thinking tune but also thinking coilovers first. Riding a 2004 VW Passat 1.8T

Southbend Clutch and flywheel upgrade should be your first mod, bar none....

2/20/18 today my car was tune by NPR cost me $662.99 dollar stage 1+ before car has 170 hp now has 235 hp tomorrow I will pick up my car from NPR I can't wait, the next step is build me a exhaust system then remove the cat, then front inter cooler blow off valve, manual boost valve end k04 turbo take back to NPR for tuning so I think that will increase up to 290 hp end because my car is automatic I will stop there,
