Warranty shmarranty

No APR Plus for the warranty on your brand new car? My 2 cents: I’m not confident in how reliable these power levels are. Still pretty new stuff

FAFO

Stage 1 on E888 is pretty low risk. I'll get through the break in, then full send.

I’m glad you got to enjoy yesterday. The weather suuuuuucked.

We left for lunch during the rain, it was timed to perfection.

Lol being scared of a simple tune

Aaaaaaaaaaalmost got me with that one -- I'm not touching the HPFP, LPFP all day though lol

but that's a ways away at the moment, I committed to a real vacation with Mrs. Nine for the first time in several years so we've gotta save up.

Bro the HPFP takes two seconds.

I DIY tuned my mk7. I ain’t scared of it. But the mk8 turbo is new and we don’t really know yet how it holds up to being pushed . Just saying.

 

[aspro_gti]

I'm DEADD

You need an intercooler for those Uni numbers. It might take @GTIfan99 a while to get his shoe rack installed.

Intercooler on the mk8 is a bit of a bitch... did it with a bro.

I can connect you with my friends that are on tuned mk8s. Three gtis, and one R. They rip... no issues... just the clutches that are at risk.

Oh I’m sure they rip. How long will the turbos hold up? I’m curious about people who have been tuned for many miles. I haven’t heard of any turbos popping yet so that’s a good sign.

But for example the is20 can be pushed more beyond stock than the is38. And early is20’s had issues.

The way I see it, by the time they pop (if they pop), you'll have the cash and the desire for a nice upgrade.

CSB: Tail of the Dragon is sick.
Banged gears, hauled ass, cooked brakes, and squealed tires.

I still contend the Conti in the R has more headroom. Feels like the mk8 GTI has some form of the PMax Garrett

I mean all indications so far point to the mk8 being engineered with tons of headroom so it’s probably very stout.
