I have a ‘19 Mk7.5, manual, and I thought I read somewhere that it has the same clutch as the R’s, and so the stock clutch should be able to handle the extra power of at least a stage 1 tune, which is the most I’d do anyway. Do you know if this is true for Mk7.5’s and newer clutches? Thanks!

@ChrisFromKenya
@ChrisFromKenya 2 года назад
Aye what’s good dude!! So down pipe wise ARM motor sports, CTS turbo, MAP performance and armytrix are definitely the best routes to go. You don’t wanna get a no name kind because they never line up right! As far as tunes go if you go for the Cobb access port side then EQT , and sneaky are the best and unitronic and IE are definitely the best! Hopefully that’s helps a little homie, if you have more questions lemme know I gotchu 💯

I have 82k miles on my MK7 GTI 6spd, and I was Stage 2 IS20 since 5k miles, and went IS38 at 30k miles, and I still have the original OEM motor mounts (I do have the 034 Motorsport dogbone insert), and I’ve had zero issues running OEM. Upgraded motor mounts are not needed. Turbo muffler delete also is not needed.

How much $ on average did it cost to get it where it’s at now, I just got a 2016 gti and want to start getting it too where your is at power wise and what do you think the very first thing should be to do it’s sitting at 85k miles all stock straight piped.
@ChrisFromKenya
@ChrisFromKenya 3 года назад
What’s up my dude, so the main things that I would do to make the most power for the money is, a front mount intercooler, a high flow or catless down pipe, 100% a tune will wake it up the most, you don’t really need an intake in theses but it does make a difference too. if it’s a dsg then you don’t need to worry about the clutch you just need to tune the ecu and tcu and if it’s a manual then you’ll need to get the clutch done eventually if your gonna ouch decent power my dude! But those are like the main power mods that will make the biggest difference! Hopefully that helps homieeee 🤘🏻

Yeah man I’ll throw 2 links in the description in just a second for you! I’m running the magnaflow cat back and the cts catless down pipe and I haven’t had any problems or engine lights. The magnaflow catback is a super clean and pretty loud sound. It’s like a 4/5 for how loud it is and it does drone like a tiny bit on the highway but that’s more so because I’m catless.

Hey man. I heard about the high possibilities of experiencing crank walk on tuned manual mk7 GTIs. Did you do anything to prevent that from happening to you because I'm cross shopping between the 6MT and the DSG. I haven't seen or heard of any issues with the GTIs DSGs, I want a GTI but I don't want something that'll break my heart in the long term.
