For stage 1 on the 2016 volkswagen jetta 1.8t gen 3, you do not need an intake. APR site recommends getting it but is not necessary.
Have the same setup on a 14’ GLI Autobahn. I love it. I would recommend having the dealer check your timing belt tensioners. Mine were bad and they have a recall. Made the engine sound “ticky”.
the ticking is just the fuel injectors. its normal.
You don’t need any hardware installed for Stage 1, you can just do the software.
jhamm15 It is recommended that you get a cold air intake for the stage one tune
You don’t “need” it but it’s highly recommended.
Cold air intakes do nothing besides sound for the amount of hp this has. Waste of money.
Danny Buscett it’s not about hp gains. If you have a turbo charged car and you are tuning it you want less restrictive flow to the turbo. An aftermarket cold air intake allows more flow than the very restrictive factory intake. There is no downside to a turbo that can breathe better.
@@zacharyjohnson5569 like I said still a waste of money for a application like this but waste money it doesn't matter to me.
What’s the exhaust setup? Sounds nasty.
What is it?.?!
Muffler/resonator delete and a catted downpipe from apr.
couple of things.... Stage 1 is a tune, that's it. Stage 1+ is an Intake AND and Exhaust w/ downpipe (optional)... you don't get any power just putting on Intakes, where's that new flow of air going to go? The ECU adjusts and the stock diverter just throws off most of it. You need at least an Exhaust and a a Tune. For Stage 2... you'll need to work on the updating the manifold, by then you should have a better diverter if not already, upgraded suspension, and brakes if not already, some places sell DSG limited differentials (optional), catch can kit, upgraded intercooler since the horsepower is going to be higher, Stage 2 - DSG Clutch kit (optional, but reommended if you plan to go higher than 300hp ), digital temperature gauge. Stage 3... that is K04 upgrade territory, now you'll need things like brass billiets and reinforced camshafts, thermal wraps for the turbo and inlet pipes, carbon fiber body kits and extensions, by now you should have replaced all 'plastic' tubing in the exhausts and turbos with either aluminum or steel, muffler/resonator deletes ( some people do this right away when they get their car... but i don't think it's a good idea for small displacement engines with turbos that NEED the back pressure and propulsion, only bigger engines can do this right away ). Basically Stage 3 is meant for the track and and you can do as much to the car as engineering capability allows.
Native Akkadean exactly
This is right to and extent. However, there is no stage three for the 1.8t Jetta. The 1.8t doesn’t have a dsg either. What you mentioned above is for the 2.0 which is called the GLI.
Not quite.
Stage 1: Tune only
Stage 1+: Tune, Intake.
Stage 2 : Tune, Intake, downpipe.
Stage 3: Tune, Intake, Downpipe, intercooler, K04 Turbo.
An intercooler is not required for stage 1 or 2, but you'll notice some heat soak on hot days, so getting the intercooler helps. It's require for stage 3. Other things like suspension, brakes, body kits, and catback exhaust are independent of Stage 1,2,3 power levels.
Hmm, I have a 42 Draft High Flow downpipe, AWE track edition catback, cts cold air intake, cts blow of value. Is that enough for stage 2?
ProEliteMatthew yes it is!
@@nickmannino8466 lol I currently using a JB4. I'm really really thinking about going apr stage 2🤭
How you make your turbo so loud (the spool)
Pyrotechnik023 downpipe
Downpipe
Will it pass emissions though? That’s my main concern with a 2014 1.8 Turbo
Vaibhav Chaudhary it will as it still has a catalytic converter
Most of these mods make your check engine light come on
@@crypto_creep8222 that’s what stage 2 is for. Get the correct combo of gasses to make it compliant
@@crypto_creep8222 if you get an o2 sensor extender for the downpipe nothing throws a check engine. The intake doesn't throw one at all.
Thank god you like it. I’m going stage 2 tmrw i was nervous lowkey
Hey bro how it's going ?? I have the exact same car dude, I mean down to the color my Car is also bright red and it's a 2016 1.8 TSI Sport. I just have a question, since getting the APR tune have u had any mechanical issues due to the APR tune? I'm thinking of getting the same APR Stage 2 ECU Tune, actually i've made up my mind and i'm going to do it. I'm going with the APR Stage 2 Tune, APR downpipe and CAI, Thinking of getting a full exhaust though I havent decided what brand yet, Forge diverter valve, Neuspeed Hi Flo Turbo discharge conversion pipe and that will be it for now. After i'm done with that i'm thinking of upgrading the intercooler to so she breaths better. My main question was just how reliable has it been on that APR tune? Thanks a ton bro.
Hey! I have a 2016 Jetta 1.8T SEL. I have a stage 1 tune and a cold air intake. Nothing super crazy, just enough to wake it up. Engine wise, the tune is amazing. I get over 38 MPG cruising on the highway, and passing is a breeze. The one caution I will bring up is BE CAREFUL IF YOU HAVE THE AUTOMATIC. 1 month after my tune, I had to pay to have the valve body on my transmission done. 2,000$ in repairs. In low speeds and typical suburb or city driving, it’s incredibly indecisive and it will hesitate and jerk especially when it’s cold out and you first take off. You can baby the pedal all you want, but it will still happen. I’m approaching the 100k mile marker, and I’ve had the tune for 10k miles. The AISIN 09G unit in the Jetta is only rated max for 250 ft/lbs of torque. A minimum 87 stage 1 tune pushes it at 267 ft/lbs, so prepare for more servicing of the transmission to prevent excessive wear and tear. I have yet to find any catastrophic transmission failures in the forums besides the valve body developing issues if that helps. Overall you shouldn’t have many mechanical issues. Just keep on eye on your servicing, use a high quality transmission fluid that’s fully synthetic to prevent wear and you should be alright... in theory.
Haven’t had any issues with the car yet
How's your highway mileage now? I do 90% highway driving
What exhaust are you running?
How much did that cost you?
Ry about 1800 dollars
What did you do with the small hose on the left side of the stock air intake? I think it’s a vacuum hose or something like that,not sure about it.
i have the same question
Put a little filter on it
what about the little breather behind the stock filter
It plugs into the pipe going back right behind the filter. It’s a recirculation tune, and you might get a light if it’s not routed.
It’s a secondary air filter that was needed for my model year Jetta
Do you have any updates with this car? Any issues? Trying to go to stage 2 but worried about the auto trans.
Dan Peters What do you have? I have a 14’ Jetta GLI Autobahn with the same setup as this guy. I would say, there are no issues but here’s my list:
1. Don’t do crazy ass hard pulls and redline the car. Yes it hauls tail but it’s really bad for your engine and transmission. The tune is great for when your already moving. IMO
2. Get upgraded engine braces. Hard pulls and quick shifts tend to make the engine saddle rock a bit.
3. Would recommend getting the APR transmission tune with this. With the added power, you want to be able to shift quicker.
4. It’s fun AF 👌🏻
Dan Peters As of now I have no issues. I have just under 62,000 miles on it and got the APR tune at about 30,000 miles.
How much did the stage 2 tune cost you?
nollm23 Between the intake, downpipe, the labor, and the tune it cost around $1800
XxJoeM210xX could you tell what parts you put in specifically
How much did all this cost?
How much of an increase in horse power and torque did you see?
Completely changes the car
Thanks for the video. Trying to decide if i should do this to my GF's jetta. :)
GrandTheftNation if you plan on keeping the car you should. It is the best way to get power without drastically changing the car.
So you can buy the tune and parts at the VW dealer?
They don't require an intake for either stage
Joel Powell they do require an intake for stage 2
Hello guys thank u soo much i love this video aloot man thank u
I have a 2016 jetta sport 1.8T im going from stock to stage 2 but a question how much did you pay? & why get the Apr Straight pipe ? And not. AWE
GamingWorld114 Depending on where you go for the stage 2 tune and downpipe you will be looking at around 1800 bucks installed. The apr downpipe is recommended to for the apr tune and if purchased you won’t get charged for the stage 2 software.
sounds so fucking good but... my mans is hurting me with this automatic
What is your exhaust setup other than the APR DP?
Ardzye was just a muffler and resonator delete
So would gli make more power? With same setup
karina garcia The GLI is rated for more power
Why are all these VW’s automatic? No one buys a stick anymore?
supersonicsegax1 my 2016s manual :)
Good video. I have a 15 sport.
93 tune stage 1 is not much different it’s like 15 lbs of torque and no hp gains over stage 1
Sweet, I like it.
Would you recommend this tune for a 2011 Jetta SE auto? (170 hp)
The 2011 is the 2.5 5 cylinder engine. There’s no turbo so no easy power gains.
Do the integrated engineering 2.5L tune for 15hp
Wish you leaves a link to all the parts
goapr.com/products
How much for stock to stage 2
???!
Did you also get the TCU tune?
GPMAX01 I didn’t
There is no TCU tune for the tiptronic transmission
Should of gotten a manual way more fun
is this an automatic? I didn't notice you shifting.
yea i think so but it still sounded good
Great video
Do you just tiptronic or dsg?
The regular Jetta has the 6 speed traditional torque converter automatic not the DSG
@@maybach6536 the gli has the dsg tho
Instead of waisting on your money on bolt on BS on your little 1.8L economy grocery getter motor why not just do a a LS swap. Quite messing around and get real power gains
taillights?
Do you still have your cats?
RunOva Yes I have a catted downpipe
@@XxJoeM210xX Did it make it any louder? Or any sound difference? or was the muffler deletes the only sound changer
RunOva yes it made it much louder
Would this also work on a 2016 vw Jetta 1.8t ?
APR only Offers Stage 1. they scrapped stage two for this engine
But they are other options if you want more power
Are you sure it's a 1.8, mine is a 1.4 t
Chris Bagley they made them in 1.4 1.8 and 2.0
Chris Bagley It’s a 1.8t
Wrong base model jetta is 1.4T the 1.8T is SE and up trims
wrong. 1.4t has an se
Jacob P mines a 2014 SE 1.8t, 1.4t didn’t have an SE model
The Euro Ricer 2015 maybe 2016 plus had 1.4t SE I have a 2017 Se with 1.4
I own a 2014 SE with a 1.8T. In the US.
$600+ for an intake bwahahahhahAHAHAHHA.. no that's just plain stupid
CHIEFbananacakes The intake is around 300 dollars
It's about $350 bro .....ur way off plus there are other cheaper brands
Is it still alive ?
Luis Fernando Montes Alaniz It is still alive. I got rear ended while stopped at a red light but she’s still going strong.
Kinda sounds like a tractor
Fox Fox damn☠️😭
you sound like a honda fan
lol
@@Maplesyrup416 not picky but it could be the mic they used doesn't sound the greatest
No pops and bangs?
No dsg?
Its Richie nope
Theodore Robinson The GLI has the DSG
I have a 14' jetta SE with muffler and resonator delete and mine pops
Good. Pops and Bangs are the trend of idiots. It’s like in the year 2002 when we all thought NOS and clear tail lights were cool. Pops and bangs on regular cars just makes them sound broken.
how much was it in total
$1800 parts + labor🤝
What exhaust is that?
I just have a muffler and resonator delete along with the downpipe
Turbo is20 o hecho en Mexico, 🙏
He can read the brochure 😂
It's an automatic though lmao. Poor guy.
they are nicer when its a auto its a fkn VW not a skyline
@@zeinemm5913 That's a pretty biased answer. Only men drive standard.
@@AcidNippz not true buddy
Ryan King imagine thinking you can shift faster than a dsg😂
Speaks three words *pauses* speaks three words *repeat for 4 mins*
APR IS JUNK
Lmao nah
I disagree but to each their own
couple more things...lol ;) The Base is not a turbo, it's a 2.5L stick. The TDI and Wolfsburgs are 1.4 Twincharger/TSI's. The Jetta S..is a 2.0L with no turbo. Everyone basically just buys one of the 2.5 trrims with no turbo cause they worry about economy all this other soccer mom, college dude, yoga chick's car nonsense... Every other Jetta that has turbos are for Tuners only. The new mk7's and complete trash to me.
@Native. You really should educate yourself on the lineup. You are wrong on everything you mentioned. #triedtobecool #embarrassed.
Dirk Daring and you really should stop using useless hashtags ...who’s trying hard to be cool here, me or you? Ain’t no illogical hashtags in my post, just straight facts and go read up on the damn Volkswagen cus apparently you don’t have a clue. You act like I made the shit up you fool! 😂Go read the Edmunds report, Kelly Blue Book and the rest, they tell you when the Mk6 first came the base model is a 5 speed manual NON TURBO 2.5l so all you’re gunna do is make people find this post and show your own dumbness 🤦🏽♂️ The TDI and Wolfsburg Jettas DO use a twin charger which is Volkswagens TFSI engine version of the Audi’s, it has a k03 Honeywell turbo with a small supercharger combined to create the torque...TDIs have INSANE torque, why do you think that is??? You think all that comes from forced induction and boost??! Lol no ...YOU need to be educated #noncarguy
Um a supercharger is considered forced induction...
Ken Schantz I won’t say no, but to my knowledge I haven’t heard of that... Superchargers usually take from the engine power and then amplifies it. Forced Induction usually implies air involved but yes there are circular superchargers so I don’t know but I’ll say I doubt that.
Native Akkadean
Two commonly used forced-induction compressors are turbochargers and superchargers. A turbocharger is a centripetal compressor driven by the flow of exhaust gases. Superchargers use various different types of compressors but are all powered directly by the rotation of the engine, usually through a belt drive. The compressor can be centrifugal or a Roots-type for positive displacement[clarification needed] compression. An example of an internal compressor is a screw-type supercharger or a piston compressor.

How much did all of that cost?
Chris Bagley About 1800 dollars including labor cost
XxJoeM210xX damn that’s cheap
