Picked up a new 2024 GTI 380 Autobahn a week ago. Coming off a 2023 Camaro SS 1LE. The car is plenty lively stock and I'm not looking for a 350 WHP monster, but reading how easy it is to add more power, I wouldn't mind waking it up a little bit. To that end, what are my options for getting my car up to, say, Clubsport numbers?
At what point would I need to worry about upgrading the stock clutch?
I bought this car in part because of its fuel efficiency and because it uses 87—would a mild tune allow me to remain somewhat efficient still using 87?
Is it a given that a tune will void your powertrain warranty?
Is APR's powertrain coverage a good option? And how would that work with the extended protection plan I added when I bought the car?
Finally, to those of you who've tuned your cars, how has it impacted drivability/livability/reliability?
