I got Raclingline's Stage 1 tune on my 245 Tiguan Allspace (basically the Gti engine) as part of their Beta testing back in November. It now chucks out 339PS and 500Nm and using a rather shonky Android App timed 0-60 in 4.67 & 1/4 mile in a smidge over 13. Chris and the team in Milton Keynes are proper gents, can't wait to get my suspension lowered next and a chance to get the latest tune which see it good for 350PS

[@77ANTONI0077]

You could make a thousand enhancements to the car, some of them perhaps insignificant in their performance gains. Yet, as the owner, deep down you know that the ultimate change lies in swapping the engine for an Audi 5-cylinder TFSI. We all put up a tough front, but in the end, we all give in.

[@surfDaddy]

Smooth. Perfectly balanced?

[@frederiksrensen9896]

Sounds so good. 😮 But try to do the exhaust install here in Denmark, the police will confiscate the car, because of a new downpipe and no filter😢

[@slamminx3]

I recently had the Racingline Stage 1 (low torque version) added to my MK8 R, however the turbo turbine blades cracked and destroyed the turbo. Car is only 2 months old from new. Sad times. Luckily Racingline paid for the replacement (as VW wouldn't cover it under warranty due to the tune) and installation. Not sure if it were a faulty part from factory, or it was the tune. Really hesitant to get remapped again.

[@GLA45Amg716]

Damn dude. What happened what’s the update ??

[@slamminx3]

@@GLA45Amg716 Yea sucked. Not much of an update other than the turbo being replaced. Car is back to normal and I'm running it as stock now.

It seems there are so few who do a comparison with dyno numbers for the TCU tune. I have a 22 and I think I have one that is tunable (will find out end of this month). It’s been hard to come buy videos of the effect of the ECU and TCU on the golf R as it seems only some of the 2022 builds are able to do so. Thanks for show us, I’m really looking forward to the TCU and ECU tune

​@@TBagger489there's something wrong as a stage 2 will never get 450 , You need upgraded fuel pump & turbo for that power & it's only a flash map as the ecu is locked & not a custom map

[@DjNikGnashers]

Too loud and farty for my taste, but each to their own. I prefer the sleeper type of hatch, I don't want everyone turning their heads at me every time I drive past and thinking 'oh god look at that twat'. My car has the standard exhaust, just a sports cat which gives it a slight increase in volume but hardly anything. It still makes 455bhp/634nm.

[@Grover91]

My thoughts exactly. It doesn't help that modern 4 pots simply sound horrible whatever you do to them.

[@geminierica4077]

Agreed, cars should sound as loud as they have to for the performance, but not just because you change the catback (which has no difference on the power of an mk8r) to artificially make it louder.. downpipe makes a difference yeah the exhaust doesn't for performance. Upgraded downpipe for the performance with stock exhaust will get some nice sound without being obnoxious.

Thats awesome 👌 where is the rear diffuser from, who sells it?

[@24alexash]

How do people get away with taking out the GPF filters? Doesn’t it fail an MOT. I understand if you get pulled over, there is no way the cops can check to see (like a typical muffler), but wouldn’t it fail it’s emissions test?

[@loekfelten548]

Awesome results. But you really need to install a (sports-)cat to keep it at least somewhat legal....

[@DjNikGnashers]

I swapped my 600cell cat for a sports cat (200cell) on my M140i, and it passed the first MOT, just about scraped through the 2nd, and failed misersably on the 3rd and 4th. They don't last long !!

[@pauldavies7251]
