I have taken my 2023 Mk8 GTI to the next level with the Unitronic Stage 1+ ECU Tune and it is a lot of fun. I had the chance to take the car to Lakeview Automotive in Calgary and get it on the dyno to see what kind of numbers we were pulling with a few bolt on mods, Shell 93 Nitro+ Premium gasoline and the Unitronic Stage 1+ (Low Torque) tune. What do you think of the results?

‘23 DSG here. Running 034 Motorsports Stage 1 93 tune (low torque) with a locked TCU. Still making well over 300 hp/tq as well!
Love it!! How are you enjoying DSG? I test drove one and couldn’t do it (need manual!), but I bet the tune helps bring it alive?
@@TheCarCreative Coming from a Focus ST, the DSG is definitely more livable from a heavy traffic commute standpoint, but still plenty of fun in manual mode with the paddles for me! Tune definitely wakes it up.
@rjbaldwin_ makes sense. If you’re commuting a bunch that would be tough with the manual.
Gains you can see and feel! Thanks for putting this together Alex. 👊
@@unitronic Of course, it was fun for me to see the transformation. I could feel it, but seeing it was awesome!
302 wheel on just an ecu tune is unreal, i'm currently stage 2 with IE on my 2020 s3 8v
i just picked up the pocket 3 and stumbled across your channel from your video on it - new sub!
Glad to have you! Car and camera enthusiasts are all welcome here 👊🏼
love all you've done, but man, lowering and wheels has a tremendous influence on how your car performs, just not on a dyno! Also: holy shit that intake sound is amazing!
Im a shell guy for life 😂. Love fuel rewards, home game discounts
Ran it on my supercharged civic. Now its all i put in my stage 2 s3
If you know you know, it’s the good stuff! Haha! And yes all the app rewards are actually sick.
I have EQT stage 1 on my 22 mk8 gti. Using the cobb unit gave me the peace of mind since they’ve been around industry for a while. Even with the low torque, it pulls hard. I’ll likely need to upgrade the clutch within a year or two.
That’s awesome! I agree, the low torque still scoots real proper. More than a FWD car really needs honestly in my opinion but damn it’s fun!
I have EQT stage 2 on my 21 GTI. They make great tunes! Roughly 320hp and 400lbs-ft
@@beckettkim7044same here on my 2017 it actually has surprised a lot of people
Just a question if you don't mind. Planning to buy a mk8 gti it was built 12/20 so early 2021 model. it got a stage 1+ (324hp and 462nm) and a dsg stage 2 tune. It had it for around 12k miles now and planning to buy it. Do you recommend buyting a tuned car or?
While I am honoured that you would ask, I hope you wouldn’t make a big decision like that purely on a RUclipsrs advice. I’ll caveat by saying I am new to the tuning world, and this is just my opinion. With that said, in my research, I have heard that tuning VW engines is quite reliable as they have been doing it for quite some time and most companies have got their ducks in a row to make sure engines aren’t going to blow up. I know a few people who have built, tuned, and sold their VW’s with no issues. I personally would be sliiiightly hesitant but it would come down to meeting that person and seeing if they’re sketchy or not, cuz that’s likely how they would have built their car also? (That’s a guess). I know I am careful with my car and don’t drive it like a mad man, but maybe not the case for all.
Definitely do your research and maybe find out which tune he did and if he did his own work on the car or a professional and see where that goes?
Which trim do you have and what did you pay?
Performance trim in manual, I paid sticker.
Im running Apr stage 1 tune with low torque in my 2022 gti with dsg
Such a good time!
How much power and torque are you making?
@@_vinke roughly 345-350 crank hp torque 400 to the crank
@@GTIclubdport9462 do you know how much you're making to the wheels (dyno numbers)?
I have a ‘22, similar set up to yours, minus the exhaust. I also have a Turbo inlet and muffler. What all do I need for an, “at home” tune? I’m so confused lol.
An accessport or whatever tune hardware you would want
Unitronic offers a UniCONNECT+ Cable which allows you to tune your vehicle from home with our Performance Software.
@@unitronic can I email you with questions? I’m watching tutorials on YT but I’m still not confident in what I should purchase with my current MK8 GTi setup. I am planning on purchasing a kit in the future. Let me know what email/contact I can exchange with you. I’m doing my consumers due diligence.
Brother where would you recommend buying the mods. Was it all online or from a dealer here in alberta?
For me it was mostly online but direct through each supplier. Some perks of being a RUclipsr. =)
@@TheCarCreative damn 100% thats a nice benefit. Wish we have shops for mofs in alberta
My favourite shop at the minute is Lakeview Automotive here in Calgary - they’ve done a bunch of work on my car, installed the Lowering Springs, and ordered the parts for me. They’re great. Highly recommend if you’re in Alberta going through them. Tell them I sent you, Peter the owner is a great dude! They’ve done a bunch for my wife’s truck also. They’re a great all around shop.
@@TheCarCreative for sure! Ill give them a visit once in town. Im from edmonton so a bit far lol thanks for the info.
does the mods or the tune void the warranty?
Small mods he did, no. Tune does void powertrain warranty
