    @huwjones5879 2 года назад

    Really pleasing to see that even at 120K miles the engine is still healthy enough to be mapped. I saw no evidence of blue smoke in the video and this together with the power output on the standard tune indicates these engines are pretty robust. Do you have any service history, I'm assuming that this car had been well maintained?
    I'm looking to possibly get a Mk7 GTI next year (hopefully this current used car price bubble madness will have burst by then) and the pretty decent condition your GTI was in when inspected reassures me that I'll find a decent one.

    @sohailashiq8693 3 года назад +2

    I am surprised that it still develops 240bhp stock. I guess that means that it actually was looked after since if the engine has internal wear, you will drop power on the dyno. I most likely had been serviced regularly. But its definitely a plus point. What octane/ make fuel were you using?

    @Scouse.Malinois 3 года назад +1

    When you said it felt quicker than the s3 last video, im guessin even tho its the same power with the map, the gti is slightly lighter, with less drive train loss, but the main difference would be from the in gear torque from a manual you think??🤔 giving a different sensation of speed

    • @TRHamza
      @TRHamza  3 года назад +2

      Bit of both yes, there’s also the factor where tuned cars always feel quicker than stock cars (on equivalent power levels), as a good tune usually gets rid of flat spots and feels less ‘lazy/laggy’

      As far as i know, thats ONLY an issue with the North American since VW never put port injection in North America which helps clean the carbon/ soot off the intake valves. In the EU and UK they have port injection (they did it to pass emissions standards). The intake staying clean is a byproduct of that decision. You will often find people online mentioning problems with carbon build up, but you will also find that those people are not in Europe.
