MK6 Jetta APR Stage 1 Tune | CRAZY Power Gains!

[@marklar9184]

I've had my jetta a week now. Also a 1.8t. It's getting stage 1 tuned Tuesday 😆 Thank you for showing me the way! Also picked up the cts turbo intake. I have to get the low torque stage 1 until I get the dsg stage 1. But the shop that's doing it told me they will reflash it with the high torque when they install the dsg next paycheck. Can't wait to see what a difference it makes first hand. Thanks for all the awesome content man.

[@nicksongkham3768]

Yes bro!!!! I’ma get a Jetta soon as well. I can’t wait to hurt my wallet 😩😩

[@dacman61]

"In two weeks I'm getting laid off.... Let's drop $1000 CAD on a car tune"... That was funny.

[@alexportela8663]

I want to put APR stage 2 on my passat b6 2.0 TSI! Congratulations on yours! It's cool.

[@seanc846]

MK6 2012 GLI 6 Speed love my baby Audi..got it for 15k at 29,999k miles..after 5 years ownership at 75k miles saved enough to do stage 1, cat back, carbon fiber intake..all APR... Incredible experience: However, stock clutch immediately slipped 3rd gear power band. 1 month later -> Stage 2 southbend clutch. Thinking of posting a review

[@arsenyrazhkov4559]

Same here, my car only has 50k, apr stage 2 now with downpipe, intake, and blow off valve. After a few pulls, clutch started slipping. Are rocking a stage 2 daily by Southbend or stage 2 endurance clutch system?

[@PlasticGhoul]

Sweet video I just bought a 2016 1.4L with 10k miles on it. What did this drop your MPG to?

[@arsenyrazhkov4559]

A Neal didn’t drop at all. Unless you hammer on it, of course

[@minnesnowtan9970]

Do an extra oil change, make sure good spec/brand oil. One of your best upgrades is a set of tires that excel in wet weather (everything works in dry) so you can actually stop when you slam on your brakes.

[@minnesnowtan9970]

Regarding oil changes: Ask the question How long should your car last? Owners say 200-300k miles Mfrs say until warranty expires (some), or 100k miles. So if Manufacturer says 10k mile oil change but all the well versed car people say 5k miles or 6 months, do it more often. Even when you "drain the oil" you never drain all the oil, and there is nasty dirty oil near your valves and in small passageways. Nothing we can do about it, put in clean oil. The solution to pollution is dilution. What would it cost to buy more VW spec oil and filter and change it? It extends life of VVT (variable valve timing). Maybe pay for an extra oil change as a performance and longer life "mod".

[@aydenashcroft2911]

Yoo, sick Jetta man. I’m in Willoughby (Langley).. I’ve just got a 2017 Jetta and getting some bbs rims and new headlights installed in the next couple weeks. We should go for a drive or meet up with the Jettas

[@edwinruizcolon5707]

Amazing. I did mine yesterday paired with cts turbo cai and awe tunnig catback. The cai and catback alone did something, but the stage 1 took the car to a whole different level. Definitely recommended. Stage 1 can be done alone and only a cai is recommended. Catback gets you more vrom vrom 😂

[@andrewlupoli1567]

please help, 100% beginner... I know I want sound, and more power i can get for what it is. . ... I have 2019 1.4t jetta r-line 8 speed automatic. . . I have a unitronic open intake..will apr stage 1 pair with my intake?.....everything else performance wise is stock .... I know I want an exhaust too...is there a dual exit I can get that will pass emissions test in CA? . . What order should I do it in.... exhaust or tune first? And is a downpipe/bov and all that necessary? ... Thanks for any info

[@edwinruizcolon5707]

@@andrewlupoli1567 yes. Stage 1 is ok with intake and catback. If you go turbo back ( catback + downpipe) then you need stage 2.

[@edwinruizcolon5707]

@@andrewlupoli1567 you can do as much as you want. Bov is not needed for stage 1 or 2. I did intake catback and stage 1 on my 2015 1.8t. Real noticeable gains came after the stage 1. Feels like a different car. Again intake is recommended with stage 1 and it gives noticeable gains when paired together. Just intake you will get some nice turbo sounds. The Downpipe helps to remove restrictions in exhaust gases flow. To optimize these new flow you need a stage 2. Catback gives you sound while removing some weight.

[@ithinkthereforiam100]

Hey, quick question, :) I have a 2014 VW Jetta TDI automatic Stock. I am considering a Stage 2 DPF removal. Would you say the power is noticeable? IS stage 1 better or stage 2? How much louder is the exhaust? Should I keep the original exhaust? Dealer is saying currently stock is 133HP, 225torque, if upgraded to Stage 2 163HP, 295 torque. True? Thanks for your input since you have the experience :)) Any downsides to the upgrades?

[@casgian3272]

VW recommends 10K oil changes to make money on repairs and new cars IMO. Even before my APR tune, I changed oil and filter every 3K (miles) and only pushed it to 5K once. It makes a big difference in longevity regardless of tuning, but if you add power, it's a must. My first car was a 2000 B5 passat and it lasted well into 200K miles due to the regular maintenance. Take care of your car and it'll take care of you!

[@arsenyrazhkov4559]

Exactly! Well said. Glad we’re on the same page and actually take care of our cars

[@devonfarmer3438]

Also so that whenever they look at the cost of ownership statistics the long maintenance of people drives down the numbers making the car look better on paper

[@Fiagore]

By the way, about the oil change, you could not have been more worng. 5-6K km oil change is good when using mineral oil from 25 years ago. With full syntech oil, you can hit something like 10-12K KM. You should definately send your 5-6K km oil change sample to a lab and make them analyse it, asking them for how long you could have still use it. You'd be surprised. PS : i don't know about you, but i don't know anyone who went back to any dealer to get their engine replaced when they blow it..... and if it's under warranty......well it's under warranty ! =) PPS : you're about to hit 50K KM......Begin thinking about doing carbon cleanup on your intake valve @ about 60K

[@arsenyrazhkov4559]

Dany Durand thanks for the comment, all my maintenance is up to date. Valves are cleaned. And I think i’ll stick with my 5-7K rule. I like to keep my engines running in tip top shape. Especially when driving them hard. That being said, BMW recommends 20k oil changes. Why do you think all the engines wear out prematurely? I don’t believe in 15-20k oil changes and I never will. 8k max under normal driving

[@jorbjorb1]

@@arsenyrazhkov4559 My dealer used to tell me to come back every 5-7k but now started telling me to come back in 15k. It does say 15k in the manual... not sure who to believe. I guess I'll change at 7k still to be safe. I have the 1.4T 2016.

[@arsenyrazhkov4559]

jorbjorb1 of course they will tell you that. As far as they’re concerned, long as it lasts past the warranty period it’s acceptable

[@Wolfpack310]

15.000km is no problem if u use god oil. In Europe the service intervals are upp to 30.000km depending on driving conditions. I do mine at about 12-15.000km Liqui moly 5w30 vw504.00 spec

[@arsenyrazhkov4559]

I have to respectfully disagree, there’s some leeway if it’s all highway km, but I’ve seen many engines fail and become premature oil burners because of these extended drain intervals

[@eclemons4116]

I have a ‘15 VW Jetta as well. I lowered it, got new head light assembly, tail light assembly, added fog lights, new rims and tires. The only thing is the power. Do you think getting a tune on an automatic will work well? Also, after getting it tuned, can you take that car back to VW for maintenance or is that frowned upon?

[@arsenyrazhkov4559]

You can get the ECU tune, but you can’t get the TCU tune unless it’s DSG. Just keep it on the down low when you take it on for service at VW and you’ll be fine.

[@SKYLINERAIDER08]

Arber Ndreu I have the stage 1+ from unitronic. Night and day difference. I don’t recommend APR if your using the car for daily driving. The power band is all in the top end versus the unitronic it’s midrange convenient for daily driving if your not red lining every gear day in and day out go unitronic. Not bashing APR because they do have great products for racing applications, but a very high percentage here in Dallas that have APR tunes end up sending a rod towards Space X. But your choice but, into the amount of complaints people have with APR not taking responsibility for blown engines. A lil research goes a long way.
