VW Mk7 GTI Cobb Stage 1 Tune Review & Dyno

[@WhenzLunch]

The MK7 is a very underestimated car. I love mine and can't wait to get a stage 2 clutch and start tuning.

[@codylee597]

WHENZLUNCH yooooooooo!! love your vids man

[@WhenzLunch]

Codylee Steffens thanks for the support

[@505enthusiast4]

WHENZLUNCH how Mitch does a stage 2 clutch cost?

[@jacobmccoy1963]

WHENZLUNCH did you have to get a new clutch for stage 1 ?

[@x8alexisonfire9x]

Jacob Mccoy you don’t. For the DSG you have nothing to worry about under stage 3. For the manual gearbox, usually stage two lasts quite a while on the stock clutch. It’s a big debate. Mine lasted 37000 miles at apr stage 2+ with a TCU stage 2 tune as well. Once it started slipping I upgraded it. I was at 327hp and 413tq at the wheels.

[@Jgmiranda_]

5:58 "I love this car!!.... WEEEEEEE!! " I'm getting a Cobb AP for sure now

[@acasualmageasdf6974]

I test drove a fiesta st today, and right after that jumped into a golf gti. Im in love with the golf dude. I cant help it, one day it shall be mine

[@KaDaJxClonE]

Those vehicles are in totally different price ranges, of course the GTI is awesome compared to the sporty hatchback youth-oriented car.

[@robertdavis5714]

Appreciate the kind words on MK7 and agree 100% because have Porsche 997 and MK7 (w/ IS38 Turbo) and they are damn close on fun to drive.

[@birminghamblueheat4986]

I just bought a mk7 autobahn with performance package. Flying to Florida to drive it back later this week. Cant wait to start with the mods. Excellent video,, thanks for sharing.

[@maperformance]

Congrats! We have a bunch of parts on our site for them!

[@nathanrobinson6256]

5:50 the smile every turbo fan makes when they are able to get on it 😁

[@dominick253]

In my management class they had a chart and a couple pages about how to make a purchasing decision. It used cars as an example and the golf won. Just the best middle ground on so many points. Economical comfortable and sporty. Cheap to insure reliable great fuel economy huge boot and able to hual the family and the dog.

[@MarkCalica]

I finally voided my warranty at 8k miles lol. I used to have the JB4 and was not happy with it and got my accesport. I'm currently using an OTS MAP from Cobb, stage 2. Big difference. So much fun to drive. I am getting a dyno tune by Nishan this Saturday, I cannot wait

[@maperformance]

Thats a big step! Into the void you go, you won't regret it. Let us know if we can help further into the void ;]

[@dominick253]

I wouldn't worry everything else is built up to golf r or Audi s3 levels which are up to 400hp I think. The trans is rated to 400tq for a dsg stock.

[@ualdrivr]

I bought my 2017 MK7 GTI S, manual, last year with 18,000 miles on it. The car was a lease return and it's my daily driver. I am in love with it. It is an awesome car. I am planning to install the Cobb tune, even though the car is flawless as it is. Great video thanks for the info.

[@maperformance]

Thanks for watching! Enjoy the car!

How has your experience been with the Cobb tune? Has it been safe?

[@zoob4371]

did you need an upgraded clutch?

Yes and yes go eqt if you want a reliable tune

Love my mk7. Going to get a stage 1 soon.

[@garnetkelly8898]

For you drivers who don't know rev limiters only work on upshift not downshift,so if you drop a gear too low you will blow up motor with an over rev.

[@4GuitarTrance]

LMAO!

[@koston777]

So VW rated the car at 210-220hp at the crank and it makes over 228 at the wheels stock? Damn thats great. That means its over 250hp at the crank right?

Dyno is just relative so

[@brendanfogel4573]

LeeROBD stock dyno says 264bhp

[@sonofnothing]

Yeah mazdaspeed3 says 263hp and makes about 230 at the wheels, stock. Most stock gti dyno I see are about the same. You lose like 15% from crank to wheels.

[@TeeWadeG]

@@sonofnothing I see the opposite.

[@VintageFormulaOne]

@@TeeWadeG gti stock dyno is about 230. Same as mazdaspeed3. It's the opposite because the vw underates their hp. Correct. But the whp is the same.

[@1gsrtom]

I'm trading in my 2014 focus ST for a MK7 GTI later this year , probably a SE or Autobaun trim

[@himfreakxxx]

traded mine in last week! You wont regret it.

[@MechRider89]

get the autobahn trim, and manual trans. the DSG's good but very boring to drive day to day.

[@Kamukix]

Haha, different strokes. I think the exact opposite for the DSG. I think it's perfect for the day to day drive. I didn't like the very long gears in the manual trans. If they were as short as the DSG though, then I'd have bought it this time (my mk6 was DSG as well, but all of the others were manual before then). I especially love the ability to drive it hard whenever I feel like driving, and being able to pop it over into commute mode so I can just creep through the traffic with minimal effort (or those drives that you really just don't feel like it lol). Both are very good options though, and I'd have been happy with either one if I couldn't have found the other for a reasonable price. Pound for pound, I don't think there is another car out there (new) that you can buy that's a better all around car. The Focus ST is probably 2nd spot in this for me after spending significant time living with both.

[@1gsrtom]

TheMetalGuy852 The Focus ST has a lot of issues , I got one of those with the wiring harness problem which fucks with all kinds of driveablity issues , the PVC system is terrible u have to physically clean your intake valves every 3,000 miles cause the oil and carbon will start to cake up on the valve stem. Then right when the 36000 mile. warranty was up I started getting a random misfire code and that was the final straw. I ended up trading it in for a 2016 GTI Autobahn w/pp DSG and it's been great , I was going to get a stick but they say the clutch won't hold up very long after a tune. The DSG is nice and it's faster than my ST , plus feels a lot lighter than the ST too, and the GTI is definitely a better all around car ... and we all the performance potential.

[@1gsrtom]

T Honzo I've had the gti 2 weeks now and it's great much better than the ST.

sounds like this tune is super conservative, which is good if you're on a stock clutch, but there's some cars on APR with an upgraded clutch putting down 305ish hp and 345ish tq on stage 1

[@1967incPhotography]

Even more impressive is the COBB DSG Tune that you can install along with it. No mods and my GTI is a beast! Plus, I can return it to bone stock anytime...

[@JarrenHetfield]

Small complaint. I hate in review videos when people say things like "the acceleration is brutal" No.... its not. It doesnt even make 300whp. So lets be realistic. While the mk7 is fine for what it is, lets all realize that its actually slow as hell. I sold my stage 2 M4 for my GTI until the market comes down for something cheap and I legit thought something was wrong with it when I first bought it cause it was so damn slow. Even my M4 was slow in stock form.

[@Matt463634]

Feel super lucky to live in Europe where we can get access to the Seat Leon Cupra which is basically a FWD Golf R with the GTI PP's diff and a sexier body style than the GTI, all for the same £ as the GTI. All you guys in the US check it out and tell me what you think.

[@deblove7646]

Guys check out MK7 YVM he has the stage 2 APR

[@MegaHollywood1971]

The HP power band is approx 25+/- above what it is above stock. The torque is about the same as that increase as well percentage wise. It is a negligable gain that is more psychologically noticeable than actually noticeable. With the DSG tuning, I would say that that difference in gear shifting keeps the engine at the "meat & potatoes" of the power band more so than the improved HP alone is doing. The AP units are now just over $1K (US) now....I would just opt for a Mishimoto IC and call it a day, just to replace the standard Tube/Fin IC. This way, you can stay out of heat soak when you really want to push it.

[@lakeland6798]

Without a doubt the biggest difference with tuned vs stock is the smoothness of the engine response, no more lurching off idle or between gears

[@SoliiD]

so you can stage 1 cobb tune the mk7 without any problems or without blowing anything up in the car motorwise? or do you need to be carefull doing thing like this?

[@maperformance]

No problems! This GTI has been daily driven for a few months now with no issues on the Cobb and the MAPerformance tune.

Thats amazing, thanks man! greetings from belgium!

[@weatherfox1]

Should you wait until engine break in to tune, or can you tune right away?

[@maperformance]

The tune won't hurt anything - but the engine break in is designed to help ensure the car is built properly and won't break down on you. So we would recommend waiting.

[@tanovw]

Just saw your video amazing but I got a question I just bought a mk7 what is better a Cobb tune etc or taking it to a shop that does custom tunning for vws

Im going to do this

[@tamparei]

If I'm currently unitronic stage 2 DSG and ECU tuned and want to switch to a COBB tuner such as MAP, can I keep the DSG tune from Uni and just get an ECU done by you? Also, when flashing, do I need to first remove my Uni ECU tune or can I just flash the new tune without issue?

Daniel Kim yes.

[@W0JCIK]

what mods are recommended for higher tuning stages. meaning if i wanna go for a higher tune what should i upgrade first

[@sonofnothing]

All the flow mods. Start with a short ram intake. NOT the Cobb because it is pricey. You can find a nice aluminum intake for ~350. A downpipe (cats nor not, depends on your state emissions) and bigger intercooler core. Get a pro tune and you'll be blown away.

[@jakeaguila5255]

What is the recommendation for stage 1+ ? What mods do I need ?

[@jayyrodd8533]

Im pretty sure just an intake

[@jayyrodd8533]

Stage 2 is intake and downpipe and stage 0 is straight up stock setup.

[@Someothername2134]

Stage 1+ is generally just stock setup tuned for 93 octane and suggested cold air intake. Stage 1 is 91 octane, completely stock but cold air intake is fine.

how is the gti in snow ? I live in West Virginia and bought a 2016 wrx and it is still stock and I do love the car especially in the snow because we sometimes get quite a lot so I was looking into a golf r but still a bit to out of my price range and also I love manual idk if I could get a dsg even tho it is pretty flawless

[@maperformance]

The GTI isn't bad at all. Very light car with front wheel drive just floats right over it. Although, not as good as the WRX! We have had a pretty light winter in MN so hard to say with the GTI...

[@Kamukix]

I've had no problems with either my mk7 GTi or my mk6 GLi in the snow/ice in Delaware. I run winter tires on my cars (which everyone should honestly do regardless of drive wheels if you have cold temps in winter), and they handle awesome in that weather, and there hasn't been a single thing to get me stuck. I've run both Bridgestone Blizzak tires and Hankook iCept Evo's to try them both out. The Blizzak being a strictly cold weather snow tire is better in the snow, but doesn't handle as well (NOT bad) when it's above 45-50 degrees. The Hankook tire was a winter performance tire meant to be stiffer compared to a traditional winter tire, so it does very well in the snow, but does exceptionally well when the temp does exceed 45-50 degrees. Both tires are hilariously better than any all season or summer tire once the temps drop below 50 degrees for any length of time whether there is snow or not. :)

[@jetbike97]

+Kamukix thanks for the response ! I've been heavily looking into it but my wrx only has 10k miles on it so I believe I'm going to order the accessport and intake through map and run it for awhile and see how I like it because I do love the looks of my car and do love hooning it in the snow

[@Kamukix]

jetbike97 not a bad plan, they're very good cars, much better (except for the sound haha) than the previous models. I test drove the new model before I bought the GTi, and I think the WRX has come a very long way interior wise even though it's not nearly the VW level, it's still a MUCH better place to be than the 2013 which felt like I was still driving the 90's model with more power haha. I wouldn't be sad if I were you, you've got a very good car, also I love that new steering wheel. It felt GREAT in my hands (the shape is more flat on the sides than the GTi and GLi which are also amazing wheels). I've got 35k on my GTi now and had just about 100k on my GLi. No issues, but I've never had issues with my cars anyway (had quite a few haha)

[@jetbike97]

+Kamukix I really thought about getting a older wrx or sti but I read so much good and bad things about the ej motors and I liked the fact of the new fa motor with the twin scroll turbo I love vw interior and love hatches that's why I wanted a wrx hatch so bad if only they still made them because I'm so scared to buy a used Subaru I will own a golf r one day tho!
