I like the way you drive. Sensible and level headed. Kudos on the mod.
I love the drama that the Golf seems to capture. I remember driving with my parents and they were always saying 'mind the speed limit' while not near it at all or maybe close. Have fun driving it and be safe!
Amazing how quick the car accelerates and shifts. I definitely wish I got one of these cars.
Go stage 3 with your first check as an Attending! LOL. Glad you love the car, all over again!
Best vlog entry yet. Can't wait for the launch down the rosd. And you are seriously pulling my chain and upgrading to mk7 R platform and staring all over, despite being as happy with stage 1+ on a mk6 R, which feels just like you described when you had your epiphany! Thanks man, keep up the good work!
I subbed because I see potential for this channel based on the content. keep it up, bro!
Great video, i'm going stage APR stage 2 next week , got the IE intercooler on , Turboback Powervalve exhaust going on this week , DSG tune already done , totally agree, a great all rounder of a car and ticks all my boxes .
Just skip to 13:56 for the panty dropper moment you can thank me later. 🇹🇹
Shimon La Hée thanks
nawzy202 your welcome.
Shimon La Hée panty dropper? that was booooring. this car is a fucking ipod.. 5min stage 2 tune what have you learned from tuning this vehicle? how to connect a laptop to the ecu.. here you go, a Honda civic is better in a lot ways same as the golf r is better in a lot of ways, but civic would be more fun. definitely not a panty dropper..
Yeah a Civic is more fun...cuz you can't afford a Mk7 Golf R.....loser
I can't afford? I'd rather buy a civic and make it the way I want it. Or at least a mk1 mk2.. everything after that just looks the same
Glad it's where you wanted it to be. Been watching you since your 1st R video.
congrats on thoughtful upgrades. Thanks for sharing.
the open air intake really allows you to hear the turbo and I love it.
I like the do it yourself approach you have to the car.
Pretty quick tune just like the cobb for the RS.
I could see you doing a bigger turbo one day.
Enjoy.

love the camera POV and that golf R! Subbed!
Stage 2 Mk7 R is my dream car. I currently own a full stage 2 Mk6 GTI. The bolt on performance gains make the golf R such an incredible daily !
what about the transmission is it reliable since it has dsg
So happy for you! Love the videos and my guess would be a DGS tune?
I have a question what was the thing u plugged in the beginning of the video
Zed what downpipe did you have and which one did you end up switching to?
Amazing that you have the time for these great videos being in med school...
Hey zed4me I have a question I currently have a GTI and I'm planning to go stage one with apr this year and next year doing stage 2. But can you explain to me if I get a catless downpipe how would I be able to pass NYS inspection
I'll let you know as soon as I figure that out
Does the fuel intake get affect heavily with a stage 2
i have a 2 door mk7 6speed and i raced a 4 door mk7 stage2 eurodyne and he had a catless dp and springs ect. anyways i was on his ass he only beat me by a full car i think unitronic is way better whats your thoughts
what made you choose eurodyne, how long have you had it now? and have you had any issues?
I've had Eurodyne on my mk7 for almost 2 years now. love it.
Keep up the good videos! Love it!
wow amazing video lol thanks for making this. i think im in love with ur car lol but dammmmn that dsg shifts so quick!!! wow.... btw i hope all ur monitors are "ready" so u pass NYS inspection
Could the droning issue be fueling when the engine isn't under load at 3k?
What tool are you using to check readiness? Can that be done with OBDEleven?
how do you get different stages?
Hahaha I noticed you weren't too happy with the results in your first gas before the u turn. I had very similar feelings for stage 2, u can only feel it in the first 3 gears. Noticed how happy you were after the u turn, very similar reactions to yours. Cheers bro
Looks like DSG tune next!
I just got a catless downpipe on my MK5 gti, looking to go APR stage 2 here shortly. Ill def have to check out those o2 spacers since im also in NY!
so is it like 400hp or more?
I done the stage 2 from UNITRONIC on manual transmission my question is for the clutch upgrade if somebody have done it what is the difference on torque...???
I did eurodyne stage 2 engine and stage 1 dsg , it's awesome now !!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you man for making these vids!
Very cool zed4me! We bought a Golf R about the same time you did and it's been fun to follow your mods. I'm going to guess that you picked up a Eurodyne stage 1 DSG tune. I know that I don't really like the DSG in S mode, room for improvement there. Keep up the great vids!
So you finally got the dsg tune you've always wanted?
My APR Stage 1 to Stage 2 difference was night & day from the get-go with my 16 Golf R manual. To prep the car for the tune, I put in an APR intake and FMIC, then upgraded the clutch to a Southbend Stage 3. The new heavier clutch adds to the old school muscle car feel.
Nice video with lots of great info on Golf R mods! I bet it pulls really nice now! I've always flashed my 05 Jetta's ECU without a tender and that was even with a weak battery. I always make sure all electronics are off. So far so good. Also, couldn't you just flash back to a different file that wont throw any codes when taking it to Emissions?
what's your MPG on stage 2?
what was that mystery mod at the end?
Where about's is the slight drone again? 3,000rpm? got it
Whats your gas milage at with the tune?
Have you taking it to the 1/4 mile?
Drove right by my house! haha awesome video.
What the point in modifying your car if you don't drive the bollix out of it?
How many bhp did you gain in total??
So what would flag your car to fail inspection in NY? The cel suggesting an absence of the o2 sensor and catalytic converter? I live in NJ and have a Stage 2 GTI Mk6 with a Unitronic high-flow catted downpipe and am a little nervous/confused about whether or not I'll pass or fail inspection in a couple years.
In NY you can have one readiness monitor off or not ready and still pass inspection but you cannot have any check engine lights on. So for me, without the cat monitor everything will be ready to pass inspection. I'm making an update video soon on the o2 sensor blocker. In short I'll be returning it could it caused a check engine light over time.
Dsg or 6 s what’s better
How much power does it make ? Since it's the "same" engine as the S1 (EV888 3rd gen), I plan on getting it a stage 1 first (which is ~300hp) and a stage 2 in the future, but this will need mods (exhaust, clutch, ...) which should bring it at ~350hp apparently :)
Where'd you get those paddle shifters from?
There's a video about them on my channel
Have you done a DSG tune yet?
Wait... you have Golf stage 2 in your database, like that?
do you think that an apr down pipe and stage 2 flash ona golf r will pass NY inspection?
Yes
Your going to do a dsg tune
Whats the error with your evap system. Ive had one pop up on mine a few times. I usually clear it and it goes away for a long time.
No error, it just wasn't ready yet because I haven't finished a drive cycle.
I have the Eurodyne stage 2 on a VW Eos. I don't have sticky tires- drive too many highway miles. BUT- just like you - my butt dyno says there is a huge difference ( I just broke the first cat out ( sounds stock quiet ) with a nice boost gain!!
Hey man great video ignore all the hate. How necessary do you think it is to go stage 2 after the downpipe? I've been running mine for a bit with no issues even when pushing it. Wanted to wait until the summer to install the intercooler before I went stage 2 but not sure if waiting is worth the risk of running lean.
there's debate so i'm not sure..
bad ass man.. i would love a stage 2 R these days..
dood.. my stage 2 wrx doesnt rev anywhere near that fast in 2/3rd.
Stage 2 wrx around what, 250whp? The R is probably pushing mid 330-340whp.
270WHP/300WTQ. but the R is still a lot faster.
Wow nevermind I think I underestimated the wrx.. That's pretty good. But yeah I'm not sure, maybe its the DSG but ever since owning the Golf R, driving an STI isn't as exciting as it used to be.
but i still gotta be real. i love the look of my WRX a lot more than the Golf R, as it currently stands. But a stock looking WRX, I prefer a Golf R.
I just went eurodyne stage 2 with a resonated dp i also drone right at around 3000
wow after 2700miles on this car I started to learn its awesomeness. I won't stage it any soon, tons of ability to exploit yet. track day first. But, happy for you! It's definitely awesome at stage 2! Please let us know how these modifications stress the clutch? list of upgrades?
Is there any tune on DSG? I am planning to do a high torq stage 2 upgrade for my S3. Do I have to use an upgraded Clutch pack?
I have my DSG tuned as well. HT stage 2 on S3 should be fine, plus or minus DSG tune. Up to you, not too expensive to get the DSG tuned for higher clamping pressures.
with the hatless downpipe did you have any check engine light issues ? or use 02 spacers?
dander545 no check engine light with the tune. No o2 spacers used. Using an o2 spacer actually made the car think the o2 sensor was stuck lean.
hey how can u afford this car while being in medical school? I mean im a student too but other than my loan mobey from college its nearly impossible to buy a car especially a vw golf which is my dream
Hi zed. Please do a cold start rev and outside acceleration so we could hear what the car sounds like outside
what?? how are your valves permanently open
Does it make sense to get an APR down pipe if its catted?
Yes, any aftermarket downpipe will be less restrictive than stock.
I have Same exhaust setup as you, the valves closed at crusing does make a big difference, but I wired up a switch for the flaps, so I can turn them on and off whenever I want.
How did you wire up a switch for this? I'd be very interested, and I know there's a switch available but its quite expensive.
zed4me if you remove the kick panel on the drivers panel. The power supply to the flaps goes to a connector there. I cut the wire and installed a switch and mounted by the obd connector, cost me a couple dollars to do. Only down side is that it throws a fault but no check engine light due to it not being emission related.
Are you beyond your 36k mile mark and aren't worried about reversing back to stock prior to warranty work/service or did you find a mod friendly dealer. I was APR stage 1, then went JB1, but plan to do stage 2 after 36k. So tempting to just say ef it. Really want DP.
just curious with the Eurodyne tune, is the acceleration map similar to that of the stock? Idk, felt like the APR stage 1 was kind of jolty and not as smooth as JB1. Did you experience something similar between Neuspeed piggy back vs EDyne stage 1?
Thanks. Good luck in med school.
I'm only at 19k but I want to enjoy my car instead of worrying about warranty. I'm ready if needed to pay if something should break. I didn't feel like eurodyne was jolty.. certainly neuspeed power module was exactly like stock except more boost.. but I don't remember thinking the car's acceleration being any different with the stage 1 tune other than more torque.
Another great video thanks. Do the lights above the hazard warning button not go off? On my 2016 UK spec they do? Has hat changed with the tune?
Those are the airbag lights I believe. If there is a passenger they go off
zed4me Just had a look at mine, went off even on my own in the car? Maybe it's a different U.S spec thing? Love the vid pal!
Natanzao B I think it may be different. The writing above the light actually says passenger airbag on it.
zed4me cool. Thanks pal. Looking forward to that 0-60!!
If you added a sprintbooster which increases throttle response I heard that on the track it makes it harder to finesse corners. I mean, sport+ on the BMW makes the throttle response really good so under normal driving it is better.
Hey there I was wondering which O2 spacer you have as I have a MK5 R32 with high flow cats that causes check engine lights (p0420 and p0421), and I don't have the means to get it tuned yet. My car also resonates at 3k rpm with high flow cats and new downpipe, but it's probably different since my car is NA.
Blox o2 sensor spacer on amazon for like $8
Cool thanks man appreciate it
Are you in race mode?
The flaps open gives the drone however I don't mind the drone. Actually gets real deep driving in "D" which I hardly ever keep it in any longer. Did you still not get a dsg tune? I'm clueless on what else the secret mod could be other than dsg
I think I'm gonna automate the flaps again, maybe I'll get some before and after clips.
what app do you have on your phone? and what are you using to interface to the OBDII?
It's called Torque and its a generic bluetooth OBDII adapter available on ebay for less than $10
I will install hr sway bars and stage two but what about cai I was just thinking put up filter in stock box
Robert Shetsen I use vwr cai it's sweet
I've resisted tuning my R yet because like you, money is tight. I definitely can't afford to pay to play if things fail and not covered under warranty. I'd be pretty screwed if the turbo, engine, DSG, or haldex fails and VW deems it caused by the tune. For now, I'm pretty happy with the stock performance + resonator delete. Still enjoying living vicariously through others' modded Rs though :)
Stock is still quick and fun. Enjoy a great carMod to make yourself happy- sound - fast-looks.
Look into a JB1 or JB4. Easy DIY piggy back that's self removable at half the cost (~15-30minutes). Good "fix" until that warranty runs out. Half the cost, half the power or so, but definitely worth the intermittent gain at a low risk option. I had my car APR stage 1, but didn't want to risk warranty, so I flashed back and then went JB1. I removed the JB1 for 10K service and had it serviced at the dealer today. No fault codes or CEL thrown, so I stand behind both options if it's done smartly. Just be careful with the plastic plug connectors as some people have broken, especially with temperature flux re: winter.
The plug just tricks the computer - a proper tune is sooo much better.
I know there is a huge debate over which tuner is best-- I tried APR- I personally like Eurodyne better ( not great fast customer service).. But the tune is - exactly like the curve on the website.
+Robert Weiser indeed. Just giving options. Of course tune is better :)
William K plug & play chip up box should be ok with the warranty.... + open air intake, resonator delete & cat less downpipe, carbon hood, mirror& diffuser should make her the lighter = faster
DSG Tune! As for the exhaust flaps, if they act like they do on my 2016 DSG, they usually open in 1st gear or above 3,000, so closing them wouldn't solve your drone *at* 3,000, but might tame anything below it. I had mine open for a couple of months, but closed them today in anticipation of a longer road trip where I didn't want excess drone.
Im currently ED stage 1.5 with a downpipe, I just got an intake, I wanna go stage 2 this weekend. Do you have spark plugs? and did you notice a top end difference?
No spark plugs. Car pulls hard all the way through the rev range
what's the power difference from open air intake to a closed air system?
sound mostly-
Power difference is not appreciably different. However, sound is much better on open air intake systems. You're looking at higher intake air temperatures, but this affects naturally aspirated engines more than turbocharged ones because there's an intercooler.
Sam Cassidy breath better and more power in higher RPM. Imagine blowing with a straw vs with a pipe
When you say drone is the stage where some part of the car vibrating right. That is true, i have the same prob with cat less down pipe. However, It is gone completely if you on manual shift
It's still there on manual shift
zed4me not if u shift at the right timing.... that happen only if you shift it too soon. Try higher RPM. Great car love it, pity due to tax We have pay 3x at least of what u pay for there
How does each stage effect your gas mileage?
I have a Stage 2 GLI MK6 6speed. My MPG is 35mpg and 29mpg street 😂😂😂 I got better Fuel economy
I just switch to stage 2. MPG suffers for sure dropped me around 5 MPG on the freeway
What cold air intake are you using?? It looks good!!!
Fred Jones install is on my channel, check it out
I have had issues with the 93 tune. It would run lean on hard acceleration, go into limp mode, then misfire on all cylinders. Backed it down to 91 tune and it has been fine since. Catless AMS downpipe, APR CAI, and ED TCU tune.
I am interested to see if you run into a similar issue. Could reproduce consistently on hard acceleration up incline.
Look forward to seeing the vid about precautions taken to reduce DSG slippage.
I've never had an issue with the 93 tune.. I have heard of the same issue you talked about, with acceleration up an incline. Personally I haven't had the issue, but I also always let the revs range free instead of keeping it at a higher gear, not sure if that has to do with anything.
zed4me Hard to see on my phone, but is that a number I see next to the D when you go into automatic? TCU tune?
Mike Thomas It's also hard to see since youtube degrades video quality but yes sir :)
golf r usually is 280hp in 2stage how much does it goes?
almost 400hp/400tq
are you sure you're doing it yourself?? shouldnt you take it to a tuning garage?
I’m running Unitronic stage 1+ tune with intake, turbo inlet pipe, DV+, subframe inserts, dogbone inserts, rear sway bar and endlinks. I’m debating on wether or not to go stage 2 with intercooler and downpipe but I’m worried about the reliability. I have a certified pre owned car so my warranty is good until 60k but the faster I make the car, the more I’m worried about stock parts breaking on me and the dealer freaking out. I could flash back to stock before I go in for service but if I have a downpipe and intercooler, idk If the stock tune can handle all the mods. Idk what to do
Think you answered your own question. I'm stage 2 because I'm willing to deal with the out of warranty expenses. Until you are too, I would stay with stage 1 to make it easily reversible should the car go south.
thanx
I'm installing my downpipe on my R tomorrow. Any recommendations you may have? I went with a USP catted Downpipe.
Check out the video in the description. And follow the recommendations of that video lol
zed4me haha gotcha. Thanks!
I'm currently at ED Stage 1.5 on manual R with H&R rear sway bar. Had to swap clutch as it was slipping under hard acceleration. Thinking of going stage 2 with APR downpipe and APR CAI... especially after this vid. Question, you still on stock brakes? I feel like the stock brakes are a getting a little slushy. Wondering if it's best to upgrade those before adding yet more power. Love the vids, keep up the great work!
I feel like the brakes are amazing lol if you can slam on the brakes without abs kicking in then it's time to upgrade brakes otherwise it's time to upgrade tires. Did you get a better clutch cause the manual doesn't do well with higher power like the DSG does
zed4me yep. Went with HS Tuning's RSR. After around 1k mile break-in, it feels just like stock but can hold nearly 500 ft/lbs of torque. Plenty for future upgrades ;)
sounds great!
+Zed4Me stoked that your stage 2. Is the stock intercooler adequate for stage 2? Dang I'm ready to get my LSG DSG DCC DAP R this month. I special ordered my R in August. It has been built and in transit. Thanks a bunch for sharing with us all
Tag me on instagram when you get yours :)
zed4me I just started an account on wheel well. Should check it out...
I'll tag ya wearing your hoodie.
When I pick up my R
How many horse power is in the engine of your R after stage 2 was done?
Just under 400hp and over 400ftlb. Probably 400hp with my supporting mods.
If you planed on really making more HP, I think it's racing line is the brand, they are taking the Is38 turbos and replacing all the internals with their internals, so it will be like a built is38. They're claiming like almost 500whp with this is38, or wait till jb4 comes out so you can stack on it on top of your Ed tune, run meth or e85!!
Great car!
Does the stage 2 run catless downpipe or catted?
Catless
Just wondering how you can pass emissions without a catalytic converter?
You're allowed one monitor not ready in New York
Hey, I have 17 golf r dsg....I am seriously considering apr stage 1 or 2. Which do you recommend? Any input would be helpful.Thanx
aaron gundersen stage 2 is a good compromise for price, power, and reliability
thanx
What software did you use to flash?
eurodyne software
So when you tune it - do you lose your ability to put it in comfort , normal, race and comfort?
all modes remain intact
im not sure where you put the power to use. stock is 300 which i would think is all you need.
