The EFR 7163 3+ kit is nuts. Pairs perfectly with the R as the AWD actually is able to put that power down vs the GTI. I've ridden in both a APR 3+ R and APR 3+ GTI. The difference is night & day. Even though the GTI had the PP LSD, mounts, super sticky tires and everything for best traction. It struggled even on rolls. The R always hooked and took off w/o a hitch. Kinda envious of the R guys with the 7163 kits or other BTs haha. Though I do love my IS38 GTI, which is perfect for a daily for me.

Thaks for the view. To answer your question, the B16 Damptronic kit is a plug and play that works with the VW system controls. No need for a control box. This was the reason I went with them. Otherwise any system would work with a new control unit with rewiring and/or deletes involved.
