    So, what we learned today is that a Golf R in the wet on Cup2 tyres doesn't go any faster, no matter how much power you throw at it. Ash could have had a lie in. Lol

      Hahahaha, you are absolutely correct Steve 😂😂😂

    Nice video. Too bad it was wet and cold. Looking forward to seeing the Racingline parts.

      Thank you and thanks for watching, dropping next week!

    You should try the Racingline PCM now it’s out. See how it goes vs the Racechip

    I have a golf gti mk8 and considering this race chip mods, l have THE new inlet pipe by racing Line and the r600 intake sistem, you thing at THE end is a good project or not?

    • @RegalAutosport
      @RegalAutosport  2 года назад

      We're going to be doing a video with the BM4 soon, so stay tuned for that!

    Not the best advert for a racechip! But appreciate the honesty.
    A rated wet grip tyres and a remap should suffice then!

    • @RegalAutosport
      @RegalAutosport  2 года назад +1

      I think even then they would struggle! Ideally we'd need to test again in more dry conditions to give a fair test

  • @lukej6487

    Would one of the videos be racinglines own piggyback ecu? Be interested to see what you think to that over the race chip.

    • @RegalAutosport
      @RegalAutosport  2 года назад +2

      I don't believe it's part of the shipment they sent us, we'll reach out to 'em and see if they can send it down to test.

    Hello, I have at home a cupra ateca 2021 gen 4 300cv and a cupra formentor vz 310cv, would the same racechip be used for both engines?

  • @MrDogstarr

    Did I hear right that it was fastest in ECO mode on a stock setup?

    • @RegalAutosport
      @RegalAutosport  2 года назад

      It was fastest in comfort/eco mode without the RaceChip on, likely due to the increased output meant more wheel-slip, so a lower output was preferable for these specific conditions.
      If there was more grip available, no doubt more output = better times.

      Yes! Checkout the MK8R playlist we have

    Is it reasonable to assume this would work for the US spec '22 Arteon?

    • @RegalAutosport
      @RegalAutosport  2 года назад +1

      Not sure on that one, we only really focus on UK/EU spec cars. Best to ask RaceChip

    What do these modifications do to a cars manufacturers warranty?

    • @RegalAutosport
      @RegalAutosport  2 года назад +1

      You'd have to ask the warranty provider that question as we don't provide it

    • @mav1733
      @mav1733 2 года назад

      warranty is invalid plus insurance unless you declare you have modified your car, and of course pay a few hundred pound extra for insurance for the year

    • @RegalAutosport
      @RegalAutosport  2 года назад +2

      Yes! But sadly nobody in the world has unlocked these ECUs for tuning as of yet

  • @easyerc2226
    @easyerc2226 2 года назад +4

    Shite these boxes, tried one on my 7.5R when I first got it, made about 12 bhp on the dyno, tested in all modes. Waste of money

    • @RegalAutosport
      @RegalAutosport  2 года назад +1

      haha! It seems to work fairly well to be fair, on the road though perhaps not so much in the upper maps and in the wet traction is a limitation rather than output for speed

    @mqbr22 2 года назад +3

    That lag you feel could be torque limiter and not clutch slip.

      haha! We have actually just found a test site which would allow us to do this type of testing without the risk of losing our license or putting the general public at risk
