The TCU is literally essential with the mqb now, honestly it’s terrible without it. Was miles better pre 2018. I just chopped the R in last month for an Ateca for more space. ECU and TCU next month after exhaust and few visual improvements booked in the next few weeks. Already fitted the intake, turbo elbow and have an intercooler on the way!

Thanks for sharing! Enjoy

[@Starski-ns5et]

I have the same setup but racingline intake and elbow virtually identical before and after 416bhp and 540nm. I think you should demo the 1+ file next 450/460bhp just need an intercooler 🤘🏼

[@RegalAutosport]

Nice! Thanks for sharing

[@piotrwozniak7840]

On stage 1+ racingline i got 454hp and 525Nm of torque. But it was a bit of slipping on the dyno, tuner said that it should have around 440-445hp:). Pretty nice number for stg1 OTS tune 😮

Thanks for sharing!

Great plate 😊

[@RegalAutosport]

haha! Thanks

[@matthewpoillucci2612]

When dailying the car around, is the mpg effected by the tune?

[@RegalAutosport]

Doesn't appear so in our testing

[@benwoodruff4466]

What is your build date? I have a March 22 & believe it’s still locked? Thanks. 🙏

[@RegalAutosport]

21 I think

[@benwoodruff4466]

@@RegalAutosportThanks, mine is March 22 so waiting for the TCU to be unlocked… 🤞🤞🤞😅

[@simonturner2867]

can racingline map the tcu on a 21plate clubsport? just had car plugged in for apr tuning and they said that they cant tune the tcu!

[@RegalAutosport]

If its locked, its unlikely they will be able to tune it. Worth a try though!

[@piotrwozniak7840]

How would You compare racingline tune to APR? Racingline looks like it is pushing more top end power

[@RegalAutosport]

We haven't tested them back to back on the same car, so can't comment really, but we're super happy with the RacingLine tune!

[@piotrwozniak7840]

@@RegalAutosportme too;). On stage 1+ i measured my car from 0 to 100kmh and got 3.43 on the first try (without 1ft rollout😮). I think golf 8R just with tune become pocket rocket and comes into real sports car teritory ;)

[@alanj3170]

What tips are these? Looks sweet.

[@RegalAutosport]

Milltek

[@UIOP336]

Available in usa?

[@RegalAutosport]

Not sure, we are in the UK

[@TheDaddyNick]

The only thing missing in this video was the post-tune exhaust note

[@RegalAutosport]

You can kinda hear it

[@BryceCzirr-jz7ju]

So not even what a stock 10 speed mustang GT makes. Cool. (which cost less too)

[@RegalAutosport]

I think you forgot that you’d be in a Mustang

[@BryceCzirr-jz7ju]

@RegalAutosport Correct. An actual sports car and sounds like one. Not a blue Egg with a 4 banger.

[@Matthew-nl9kd]

​@@BryceCzirr-jz7ju Mustang a sports car? Too soft, imprecise steering, no good for the track in stock form. It's a fast cushy cruiser. Golf R is sharp and ready for the race track out of the box. So... I'd consider it more of a sports car because you can actually use it as one right away.
