MK6 GTI Stock to IE Stage 2 Dyno Comparison

Nice video, I have a IE stage 2 93 octane tune. With every possible add on , for a daily driver I'm very happy with the tune . Power delivery nice and linear . Prior to going stage 2 I had their stage 1 tune as well as APR Stage 1 high torque. APR tune was such a mess , all low end torque wasn't fun to drive at all . Felt too aggressive and not in a good way. Neuspeed FMIC , Neuspeed Intake, Neuspeed Charge/discharge pipe. AWE downpipe, neuspeed catback, fluidampr crank pulley .

[@nates2243]

I went from stock to IE stage 1 to IE stage 2 to IE K04 on my 2013 CC. I was pretty underwhelmed with the upgrade from stage 1 to stage 2. My 2013 IHI turbo also could not meet requested boost up top and would drop to 9.5-10 psi by 7,000 rpm. Wastegate was good and no boost leaks either. The jump to K04 was massive but I’m already considering trying another software due to a few concerns with the IE K04 tune based on my logs. Great video as always!! Love your content.

[@COMotorsports]

Appreciate it. Yeah it's hard to compare the jump from stock to stage 1, to stage 1 to stage 2. A stage 1 tune just brings so much to the table initially.

[@nates2243]

@@grumpu I’m vaguely familiar with your platform from some friends that had MS3’s. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the biggest gripe with your OEM K04 was reliability and oil consumption? The MK6 BorgWarner K04 is a very reliable unit capable of 350whp with good fueling and a strong tune. Going above a K04 on these requires quite a bit of fueling mods, so maxing a K04 provides tons of fun with the lowest investment.

I have a MK 6 GTI (2012) that I did an EI stage one flash tune on (91 octane) with no other modifications, just the tune. What a difference! I never have put it on a Dyno, but horsepower and torque gains are extremely impressive! Totally transformed the car. The only problem or weak point is the clutch.

[@scotiacoastyachts1]

Might have been interesting to see if the car would have had a performance gain just from the exhaust and intercooler before the stage 2 tune. You know how many of us bolt stuff on for more perceived power, even ad CO stickers LOL. Also wander if a brand new clutch not broken in would slip a bit under full load.

[@COMotorsports]

There would be gains, but minimal without any software. I dynoed my mk6 GTI with stock software intake and downpipe and it made 200whp for example. So 4-5whp compared to this one.

[@motorheadbanger950]

I went IE stage 2, along with cat-back exhaust, R8 coilpacks, go fast bit diverter valve, and CAI. Stock intercooler though, butt dyno definitely felt the torque but I know the ko3 is small so it definitely dies kinda quickly but for a daily im gonna keep it at that before I break anything.

[@COMotorsports]

The bulk of power comes from stage 1, the difference between stage 1 and 2 isn't going to car lengths. Also how stage 2 performs will depend on the additional mods you have. Meaning our highest stage 2 cars have had FMIC, exhaust, intake etc. The FMIC is a big adder as the GTI and 1.8T golf share the same IC, the Golf R stock IC is bigger, and is still too small when being pushed. Can it work sure, but after a couple of spirited runs on the highway you will quickly notice heat soak and a drop in power.

@@COMotorsportsaren’t you guys a tuning shop? You don’t do any open source tuning on stock ecms ?

[@COMotorsports]

@@Vlad-zg5sk The answer is, it isn't worth my time calibrating stock ECU for stage 1/2 tunes when we have plenty of great tried and true options available that are very easy for me to flash. So trying to make a couple bucks more, while try to compete with the larger companies doesn't make sense. Basically I spend enough time learning the plethora of different standalones I need to calibrate for my clients as is, which is a better use of my time.

@@COMotorsports I wasnt talking about doing it to make more money but to each their own :)

[@COMotorsports]

@@Vlad-zg5sk ok then it's even less likely cause we have lots of great options available. Ill do the calibration on stock ecu with Maestro no problem if that's what you're referring to.

IE Stage 2 is 275BHP and 333 BTQ. The numbers you guys are getting are stage 1 numbers.

[@COMotorsports]

WHP and BHP are different

[@KseriesKyle]

How much would you guys expect a mkv 2.0 with Apr k04 to make on 93? With s3 injectors, hpfp internals, catted 3in dp and a solid tune? What do the mkvs with k04 normally max at?

[@COMotorsports]

Will depend on your tune. K04 has the ability to exceed the limits of the stock FSI rods.

My buddy had the same exact setup on his white MK5 dsg. Dynoed 320's... That car was a blast I'm a manual guy all day but that DSG in that car with the DSG tune made a lot of people upset when he smoked them...

[@KseriesKyle]

@@Simpleman1078 haha ya I’m asking for a buddy too. Dsg is cheat codes in those

[@Simpleman1078]

@@KseriesKyle another thing is to put a low pressure fuel pump a lot of guys run RS4 or ttrs fuel pumps or you could go with a walbro... And ethanol or e85 will definitely give you a lot more power usually like 30 to 50 extra rather than 93... And also meth injection which is really not that much you can get the kid from like snow performance for like 500 bucks keeps the intake temps cool which gives you like another 30 horsepower

Clayton, run the camera and let the Master Talk.

I thought IE was known for not pushing cars all that much. As long as its as advertised then its all good.

[@COMotorsports]

Yep it did that. We just had to work through some issues first.

[@Sle3p520]

Depends on the car I guess. I have an A6 and many people have 10-11 sec cars using their software, so pretty quick

[@Ethan007Hacks]

That diverter valve whining like hell

[@coreycrosswhite8890]

Why can't you ever tell us the boost you are running and stuff

[@COMotorsports]

This is IE software, I have no control over boost as I'm not the calibrator. The boost is what it is, no adjustments.

[@onelowvdub]

Probably wastage not sealing

[@COMotorsports]

Wastgate is doing as it should, it was logged.

That Beep beep beep gives me nightmares! 🫣 When installing the DP, did you check the turbo for shaft play, smoothness, when replacing the manifold, was there excessive carbon deposit...?
