Shifting early was so frustrating to watch 😡🤣
Lmaoo I’m sure it was 🤣🤣 but I’m definitely getting better with it! No idea why I was low key afraid to just send it but now I’m giving in a little bit and oh my it is so much fun! The car completely opens up and feels amazing
@@RealSpeedfor real, my mk7.5 has an Is38, bolts ons and a tune and I run it to 6500 all day long lol. Shifting at 4500 was very aggravating to watch lol.
.... getting triggerred ... 😬
I did the stage 1 tcu and ECu and holy torque! I'm able to pull on stock 6mt 5.0's and am more or less dead even with stock scatpacks (in rolls obviously). Massive difference! Also, I'm sure you know but now they have their mobile app and its awesome!!
You think a 2016 a3 2.0t awd would keep up with 5.7 chargers/challengers on a roll?
@anaccount7923 oh yeah, 5.7's are slow man, I was playing with those when I was stock. You will have a bit more drivetrain loss and you're heavier so I wouldn't expect to be super competitive with 5.0's or 6.4's in a roll and they will reel you in from a dig pretty quick. It will still feel night and day, just be sure to get a transmission tune as well.
@@Mk7Poorsche Fair enough, I’ll still make gob loads of torque. I wouldn’t be surprised if I pull a low 4 second 0-60 on 93 . I’ll definitely fuck on 392’s on an is38.
@@anaccount7923 oh for sure. Hell I'd do Trueflex and a downpipe first honestly. A bit cheaper for a bigger gain, then when you move into an is38 you will be playing with cats, not snackpacks
Stage 3 unitronic mk6.5 GLI here(400hp 360ftlbs) and it's a whole new beast. Been on this for about a year and I love it. Highly recommend a tcu tune, I've always had one with any ecu tune. Changes the shift strength and points drives so much better. I have pretty much every supporting mod and then some. Oh get a the BFI motor/trans/dog bone mount inserts stage 1 is enough stage 2 is what I have and the noise is wild, super stiff shakes the hell outta the car.
Is this wheel horse?
Definitely going to do a TCU tune asap but thank you for the suggestions I will definitely look into all of that! That GLI really just be a beast haha I love it! 🤙🤙
It's interesting that you went with the low torque file as a DSG owner. Usually it's the manual folks who get the low torque tune in order to preserve their clutch.
It's because he didn't get the transmission/dsg tune, which he should've done in my opinion, even with the low torque file, but going high torque file without doing the dsg tune is errrr... not ideal, so he did the right thing
It’s because I didn’t do the TCU tune haha I didn’t want to spend a grand in one sitting it’s so damn expensive to tune these cars! So I went with a quick stage 1 low torque to save the transmission honestly. I probably could have gone high torque but it’s ok the TCU tune is coming soon and I’ll swap to the high torque file
The only reason why I didn’t to both in one sitting is because 1k was outrageous for both so I just did one and I’ll do the TCU tune soon. But you’re right going low torque for now is definitely the better option. And I’m hyped for the TCU tune! Then on to stage 2 parts so that’ll be fun!
@@RealSpeed daangg, you guys have to pay seperately for them even though you already have the program, pc, etc??
in the EU we just get our cars dyno tuned by dedicated tuners, they do it quite well with their custom tunes, probably not an option there though I assume?
@Aiqw yes we do have to pay separately it kind of sucks. A whole package deal for stage 1 and the TCU is just over 1k USD and just for the stage 1 tune it’s $600 which is a lot. We do have custom pro tuning here in the US but that’s also around 800-900 USD just for a stage 1 without the transmission tune so it can get out of hand haha. Europe has so much better pricing on certain things when it comes to cars for sure
Shifting way to early that's why you're feeling the lag because the turbo isn't spooled up properly try 5k revs and above shift changes ...
you'll love the car even more and you have to get the high torque tcu or dsg tune .
it will not affect your clutch at all until stage 3 tune
Will jb4 damage the clutch much faster relative to stock?
@@thabrezshaik5008Depends if ur running stage 2 or 2+, it will definitely be different to stock clutch longevity
You should always remove the negative first on batteries, not the positive. 👍
Remove the negative first yes, when adding the two always positive first then negative.
Read your manual, it's not like it was 20 years ago
Still shifting too early, if you put the gearbox to S it will rev to red line and most of the power is from 5000 revs + anyway, you also need to let the turbo spool up which is the lag you're experiencing
Just a tip is stop shifting too early. Hold the gear to almost redline after the tune. The power won’t really role on til 4500-5000 rpm. Shoring at 2500 is stock ecu driving
If I do that the tires spin because of FWD. the reason I roll then pull and shift at 5500 or so is because, in my feel with the driving experience in this car, it works better that way. It’s not an AWD RS3 or a Golf R. It’s only a GTI and has nothing real performance wise. It’s a mock up of what a Golf R is and it works but not for smashing the throttle all the time. Unless people like spinning tires? I’m not sure, but I see no problem with the way I handle this car. I feel all the power I can without spinning and it’s very fast for what it is
I just did ecu and tcu tune on my mk7 and it makes a huge difference!! The tcu tune is 1000% worth the money!! Did high torque and it’s an entirely new car!
What did you notice differently after doing the TCU tune? And you mentioned you did high torque, did you do stage 1 or 2 high torque?
@@rambow70 faster and harder shifts when driving hard. Also removed a good amount of the lag when taking off from a stand still. Also can rev past 4k in park now. Another plus is the car doesn’t hunt for gears as much when I’m driving normally. Doesn’t try and shift up or down every 5 seconds anymore.
And I did stage 1 high torque. Love the tunes especially together!
Ohhh damn haha I’m doing the TCU tune very soon on the channel I cannot wait! Stage 1 is great an all and it is faster but the lag is still annoying so I’m happy to know that the lag will be gone and I’ll switch it to high torque too. (Also replying to your other comment by the way). I’m glad the car is smoother though and I’m happy that it won’t hunt gears anymore it can be very annoying to drive it in drive but I need to save that gas lol
@@RealSpeed lag isn’t 100% gone but it is reduced by a lot lol and I’ll keep an eye out for that video!
Ya dude, if you dont know how to shift let hour dsg do the work. If you want to feel the power dont short shift it. Your just starting to build boost. Dont get me wrong, im not trying to be negative. Really like your content. Im running a 2017 6 spd GLI and that tune is going in mine in a few weeks. Super excited.
Is shifting at 5800 rpm’s considered short shifting though? That’s usually what I shift at when I do a hard pull. Appreciate that though! And that’s awesome! I love GLI’s and that tune is going to be amazing. So much faster when tuned, it’ll feel less laggy and much more responsive. 🤙
You should be shifting at or a bit above 6k as power begins to fall off around 6100rpm with these little k03 turbos (if you look at a stock dyno sheet). Those few hundred rpms youre leaving something on the table.
Cool to see how much joy this brings! 😀
Like I have said in other YT videos, Integrated Engineering does not get the recognition that it deserves. I have a Stage 1+, DSG platform, MK6.
I did a full rebuild BEFORE the tune and ported the cylinder head on the way.
I made sure to have a mechanical boost gauge, 15psi peaking at 17psi briefly.
I have gapped several modded STis, Chargers, WRX are cake walk.
Besides the tune, customer service is excellent. A year or so has passed by and they still follow up on tuning questions, recommendations etc.
Make sure to ask about military discount. 😊 They will ask for your DD214.
Hi guys question , I’m thinking of going stage 2 on ie tune . Will I have any smog issues in the future ? I have a Mk7.5 gti MT thanks. Mods are catted down pipe, apr coils, turbo inlet, intake ,
was looking at getting this tune for my GLI, then realized you are driving around the town i live in!
Ayyyy love to see that! It’s definitely a great tune but I wish it was a little bit more aggressive. It does it’s job for sure and is still aggressive just not as crazy as eqt or Apr. But I recommend it because I heard the pops on stage 2 are more nuts than any other tune out there for these cars. If you want pops of course.
If you're never planning to do a Stage 2 tune, would you still go with APR?
what year is this car? i have a 2015 mk7 but it doesn’t have apple carplay and i have no idea how to get it
I have a 2017 Autobahn that comes with apple carplay factory. The two easiest options is to buy an apple carplay box and have an audio place install it in your factory radio. Or buy the 2016/17 gti radio and remove yours. The 16/17 radio will fit in your 15.
I was wondering about what people think of the APR vs the IE stage 1 tune for 2.0 MQB Mk7 Gti/Gli (Gen3) ?
trying to decide
hey I just got a 2015 gti and wondering how you got apple CarPlay? or is it just a later year than mine ?
Mine is a 2017. VW didn’t start putting apple CarPlay into their cars until 2016. You can upgrade to the screen that I have though they fit a 2015 gti perfectly
Would you mind sharing where you found those shift paddles? I like the clean look of them.
Of course! I got them from dsgpaddles.com they have great deals and really nice paddles, some of the best in my opinion. 🤙
Did you install the DSG Tune with it or just the Stage 1 Performance Tune? Looking into tuning my MK7 GTI in the next couple months.
I did not. I was going to it’s just a lot of money at once lol so I’m doing that in a separate video next month! I just installed the low torque 93 file stage 1. Next month when I do the DSG tune I’m switching it to a high torque stage 1 file so it pairs perfectly. In between the month I’m also making a video on the coils and spark plug upgrade you should use while using stage 1. I definitely recommend either unitronic or IE because they are powerful and easy to use when tuning.
That’s hilarious I know right where you are on the North Attleboro/Cumberland line! Love your videos
Appreciate that man! 🤙🤙
With the obd11 you can increase the pedal response
Yes! I did that and I didn’t notice much of a difference. It’s probably because I already have a CTS throttle pipe which boosts throttle response but I like the features the obd11 has. I made a video on it too if you want to check that out!
ruclips.net/video/kl27VKUtRt8/видео.htmlsi=0VGSUJfBZ-h3mFSu
Do you have to get intake and exhaust done prior to a stage 1 tune?
You do not! With GTI’s you don’t need to have the car tuned to have an intake and an exhaust which is nice. I drove the car with those parts not tuned for about 15k miles and the car great, just needed more power, so I eventually tuned it and shortly after did the TCU tune too which helped the shifting tremendously
Keep up the videos!! I would love to be on your gti stage 1 and 2 ie journey☝️
Appreciate that! Thank you! 🤙🤙 I’m excited to continue the journey of this car and cannot wait to see what this car can become.
The peddle lags after you flash the ecu while the ecu is learning. I’m sure it tightened up by now. Same in my sti
Bought a mk7.5 bone stock 3 years ago. Within a month of ownership, I went straight to IEs Stage IS38 tune. Very fun platform and you made a good choice with IE. Great customer support, software and hardware. Enjoy sir 🫡
Any clutch issues yet?
Thank you sir 🫡 but yes! The tune has been amazing so far and it’s such an easy platform! Car has great power and feels more like what it should be!
Get that TCU tuned my man.
That way you can get off the dogwater Low Torque file and get the full shenanigans.
Absolutely right I need to do that ASAP! Definitely coming soon 🤙
You didn’t even hit 4k rpm. Pedal lag? It’s your shifting man… brutal to watch
Yeah back then I couldn’t shift this thing for shit but it was because I was hesitant, not sure what to expect. Now that I know the car better and I’m on a high torque file with a dsg tune, the car feels much smoother. Hitting redline in it still kind of sucks because of the tire spin, that’s why I mainly shift at 5-5500 rpm’s usually, it’s the perfect balance of a good pull and no spinning. Need me an AWD monster next car so I can full send all day
Eqt tune is definitely mire agressive
I heard that tune was good I just didn’t want the access port in my car so that’s why I went with IE. The tune is still pretty great though and it serves me well so I’m happy with that
@@RealSpeed You don't need to have the accessport in the car after the initial tune install. You would only leave in connected if you would like to monitor different parameters such boost, afr, knock senor etc...
@@RealSpeed after you flash the tune with the AccessPort it doesn’t have to stay plugged in. Mine stays in my glovebox.
Damn I wish I knew that before haha I would’ve potentially gotten that tune but it’s ok the IE tune is still nice. Thank you for that info though definitely good to know 🤙
Definitely good to know. I wish I knew that before but it’s ok I’m happy with the IE tune so it worked out but thank you for the info for future reference! 🤙
How many miles do you have on your GTI? Might do my first tune. I’m at about 55k what do you think?
Mk6.5 GLI here and I have had a tune (stage 1 to now stage 3) since 25k and now at 95k car has had zero issues in the 4 years of ownership. If you keep up with maintenance these cars are very reliable and capable of handling big power with the stock internals
Hold the damn accelerator flat! It will never over revv on dsg!
He needs to not shift manually
It’s tough to not drive these cars in sequential. It’s so much fun, plus in drive the GTI’s are not great to me. Gears are always too low and if you hit the gas just a little bit it shifts down to 2nd and takes off for no reason. I also don’t like nailing the throttle on the GTI’s because of the FWD so you get too much tire spin plus it wheel hops and it ruins the pull. I ease into it in sequential and it’s the perfect pull every time. Now if I had a Golf R none of this would matter lol
@@RealSpeed if you looking for proper pulls get a file with decent launch control and use a semi slick tyre. Thats if you worried about traction. You missing the most rewarding parts of a tuned GTI, the launch and low gears with WOT.
@@RealSpeed furthermore that engine is almost at peak power at 5800rpm or 6000rpm which is what you're missing when you change at 5000rpm.
That is a great idea if that’s what I was looking for. I’m just looking for a quick daily so it’s nothing crazy to me. My next car will be much much crazier than this. But, if I do decide to take it on a track at some point I will for sure do that because that will optimize my experience on the track and plus it’ll absolutely rip! Appreciate your input though 🤙
trying to hold it togetjer watching those way to early shifts😅
So, let me ask you this. Every time you drive your car what RPM’s do you shift at? Every one expects me to smash the throttle every time I accelerate my GTI and I’m not sure why. 5-6k shifting would be early if I was on a track, but I’m on a 30 mph back road I can only do so much. And I also want zero tire spin, I think that ruins the flow of the pull. Just a quick question since a lot of people think I should be shifting at 7-8k
@@RealSpeed yes you should shift at 7 floor it. like why have a tune to only shift at 4 ? but of course not flooring it 24/7 thats not good either but these cars can handle alot. but for testing it and making a vid on youtube just floor it you need to test it .
Yeah I get that. I don’t shift at 7k because I feel the car loses control around there and I don’t know I just don’t like it. In my eyes I don’t like the way this car pulls in general, it’s laggy and is missing too much for the price of the car, but it does work for what it is at times. I’m hoping stage 2 makes it a more aggressive beast, but so far I’m not 100% impressed with the overall feel and performance of this car and that’s mainly because of the smaller turbo and the FWD. I need an AWD car so I can just send it at all times and have more fun with it
@@RealSpeed yea i get that i know the mk7.5 golf r are also laggy like when u let off the gas after accelerating it pulls you back really annoying. my mk6 gti ed35 does not do any of that
I had APR stage 2 high torque on my mk7 6spd manual car and I just got a 7.5 DSG car and I'm looking at IE since APR doesn't do stage 2 anymore. I think I'm going to wait on a sale to buy tunes (black friday?) but I've been going back and forth of if I want to do stage 2 again or just save some money with stage 1. The decision is going to come down to if I want more of an exhaust note. My old car was stock catback w/ high flow cat downpipe which was perfect. The IE downpipe w/ highflow cat is a slightly different design than APR's and I'm curious how it sounds. Your car sounds good btw!!
Quick question for the stage 1 you might be going with , I assume high torque… and assuming you upgraded the clutch how is it holding up?
@@ryanpoole1052 I was high torque stage 2 when I had the 6spd and the clutch held up for about 10k miles before starting to slip. You might be able to make it last longer if you wait to get on it above 3,500 rpms
Granny shifts for days
That’s how we do it 🤣🤣
Ik this was 8 months ago bro not trying to hate was a vw kid my whole life i have a mk6 ik it’s not the same engine but i shift at 6200 ish when I’m getting a good pull in and the car loves it
you can get the apr stage 2 tune just not in usa.
Oh wow I didn’t know that! Still mad they did that in the US though I loved the APR tune way better than the IE tune
@@RealSpeed How come you loved it more then the IE tune?
Next, do a IE E85 tune. Thank me later :) My car is a rocket now.
I would honestly love to go e85 the problem is there is only 1 gas station that has it where I live and it’s a 1 hour drive but it still might be something I think about. I’m sure it’s a monster on e85!
Get a vortex xl turbo with your E-85 . Power for days !!!
Good to know, thank you! Need to make that power haha
Dude was talking about not having any roads to run on an was on a long straight already
Heavy cop roads so it’s not very often that I can run going 60+ on those roads. RI and MA are very small states so the speed limits are low and cops are everywhere. When I was in SC with this thing I could do pulls up to 80+ and I’m only going 10-15 over. If I did that 50+ where I live I could get a huge ticket or arrested so it’s tricky. But I had a lucky day lol
Gotta have that stage 2
You know it dude! I had to escape APR unfortunately but IE is amazing so far so I can’t complain. Stage 2 will be coming soon 🤙
@@RealSpeed cant wait for it. Everyone says good stuff about the IE tune
Oh yeah I know amazing reviews and so far it’s been nothing short of amazing! We still have to finish some stage one parts. Then we are moving onto DSG tune and then stage 2 begins, I’m hyped for it!
Hits 5k RPM -up shift up shift upshift 😂
This video really irks me 😅
Anyone have a manual transmission other than Autotragic
Ie stage 1 tune.
are you not scared for ruining your hardware with al the tuning?
I am not because it is usually safe to run tunes on cars. It’s even safer if you run a tune with proper modifications to go with it as well.
If you just put it in auto you will notice the rev limiter is deleted and redline is increased to over 7000 RPM......
The FWD ruins the pulls in this car for me. I need traction not tire spin. I enjoy the way I pull in this car specifically because every pull there’s no spin and it feels smooth
So funny how he complained about the car being slowz and kept shifting early, and mot even full throttling, waste of time
Niceee
More to come! 🤙
Short shifting and revving the car cold 😅 low torque isn’t saving anything
5k is a perfect time to shift when daily driving. I don’t ever see myself shifting my gti at 7-8k every time I drive it. Maybe on a track but not on backroads. And the car wasn’t cold when I revved it. It had been turned off for maybe 20 minutes while tuning but I previously drove it right before I tuned it
Not tryna be rude dude but you are granny driving the car 🤣. You are shifting at 5k and it revs out way farther than that. Also do some digs man. I have an s3 and the area I live in looks like yours but I rip the piss out of it. It comes off like you are scared of it. A dig is going to feel a lot more aggressive than your 3rd gear 5k pulls 🤣
Haha no offense taken 🤣🤣 but the reason why I shift earlier is because I like the DSG farts and when I shift past 5k it doesn’t fart. So I think it’s a satisfaction thing for me lol I love hearing the farts so I think my instinct is to shift right at that point where I’ll hear it. But I know what you mean I should send it a little more here and there especially for the vlog cuz that would be fun
So it's tuned because farts not performance?
Define performance? And the farts are part of the performance. Pegging the car out on a back road every time you drive it is not performance to me. But that’s just my opinion. Unless it’s a super car however but performance to me is how the car feels naturally driving either in drive or in sequential. So shifting at 5 or so k makes the car feel better than smashing the throttle each time. I mean every once in a while I definitely have some fun but I gotta save that gas sometimes 🤣🤣
Shift like my 9yo sister 🙈
This guys cute lmao
u from cumberland lol?
I am haha
@@RealSpeed i saw u go into north attleboro i’m from there that’s why i asked. i’ve defenitly seen u before i got a stage 1 b8 a4 from ie. it’s black and pretty loud you’ll know it’s me if u see me sometime
Ahhh that makes sense! I’ve definitely seen you before too haha but I’ll keep on the lookout and if I see you I’ll beep. Love seeing locals on here! That a4 must be quick as hell by the way 👀🤙
Too bad you dont know how to drive!
IE now has mobile tuning capabilities 🫡🫡
Yesssirrr haha it came out a day after I tuned the car with the computer 🤦♂️ but in the next tuning videos you’ll best be seeing me use the phone lol I’m hyped for that!
Who knows what is the wheel's parts number? Pleaese tell me thanks.
