Solid video man. Just pulled the trigger on the updated Staged Tune from EQT with Accessport (package deal this week) and I can’t wait to experience the power gains I’ve been exhaustively researching for the last 3 weeks. Have wanted a GTI for ages. Let the journey begin

Great video! Just picked up tune and Access port! Waiting for it in mail now.. subscribed!

Great Vid, I've always ran UM. EQT sounds like the way to go on this platform.

I bought my mk7 gti in the summer and have been modding it since, it’s my first real tuner car and I’ve been loving it!

Very helpful vid, watched this a couple times before buying my own accessport and stage 1 tune from EQTuning! I saw you mentioned you have burbles in sport mode, did you select any of the other COBB options (adjustable traction control, launch control, & flat foot shifting) when purchasing the tune?

Great video!!

Just went EQT stage 1 on my GTI absolutely love it

Just bought myself an IE downpipe for $400 the other day and now I'm looking into off-the-shelf tunes, was thinking IE but I'll definitely look into EQT now.

Buying a MK7 next week and I think about a year after ownership im going to do an EQT tune, a bunch of my friends have GTI’s and I love how fast they can be for so cheap

Good vid bro

[@Tact-Mack0397]

Sick man!

Awesome video! These cars really are fun... get the upper and lower dogbone mount by 034

so i have a 2016 mk7 gti dsg, and looking to tune. i was planning on getting the cobb AP obviously, however they have one with dsg tune and one without. im new to all this. i have a catback and catless downpipe as of right now. do i need the one with the dsg tune, or what does that do? i was just gonna get stage 1 eqt tune but with a catless downpipe i can get stage 2, and was going to add burbles. what is the diffrence between that tune and their dsg tunes?

[@flippingcoins7714]

I have emissions in Atl, I have a 2018 gti with stage 2 Unitronic with DSG tune. I want to go EQT stage 2 but can you switch back to the stock tune, for emissions testing then switch back to stage 2 ( I pass with stage 2 Uni this way) without extra charges?

[@mk7t472]

Have a APR Stage 1 low torque 93 mk7 GLI 6MT, the tune transforms the car, and the tune transforms the car, blows past my friends veloster N and I still get 38 mpg in eco mode driving to work

[@TarzanGTI]

I've pretty much narrowed my options down to an EQT or Stratified Flash tune through Cobb. I intend on getting a downpipe and intake, as well as the upper and lower 034 dogbone kit. From looking at your videos, I've seen you also own a Focus ST. Do you have a specific reason for going with EQT considering Stratified also has a very good reputation?

[@bcn_sosa7780]

Where dose it rev hang at low mph. I’m on the Cobb sport map right now and it hangs out at 2k-2.5k so not a problem letting it warm up without getting over 3K. Dose the dsg map hang lower or higher?

[@MichaelM...TandTribs]

Hi man, just watched your vid, really good vid btw, I'm really torn between buying a stage 2 mk7 and a stage 3 focus St, seeing as you owned both, what do u think? All I been doing for the last 3 weeks is watching vids lol... The FoST has all BO and coilovers, the gti has all st2 BO, except Fmic has dsg stage 1 tune also... Would love to hear your thoughts on this... Tanks 👍

[@KennethAdams-ev2ms]

Would love to hear a comparison of the gti vs your old tdi in terms of trade offs and similarities.
