Dude, its a 7R, there isn't anything this side of a bar that is faster.
Yeah, probably only a GTR Track Pack but then you'll question the turbo's.
:lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm more interested in the gear ratios tbh.

This. From Stage 1 to Stage 3 with 400-500 HP on demand with your warranty intact?

And no, it wont take 2 years for the clever bugger who wants to mention it.
Now this is interesting...
I see why the warranty is retained. They very conservative with the tuning. Especially the torque. Looks like they run lower torque gains than other flashes.

But this is still a good option.
Shop 7R makes 370wkw and 600+NM
Not sure how conservative that is on stock motor and clutches.
Damn you have a GTR killer lol.
What is all done to that Golf R?

Hi guys

Just an update. I eventually, after much deliberation, went for an intake and stage 1 software. HUGE difference!! Tie will tel but I'm happy I went for it. So if anyone wants a Unichip, with the Golf 7 plug and play harness and the Bluetooth module and 5 already programmed maps.it's for sale.

Thanks for all the guys that replied to help me solve this conundrum.
