For sure we could fudge our figures but we're not into that. We just tune the car to make the output it can within reasonable parameters. We do not have easily accessible boost data per car for RU-vid, sorry! Besides, the customer is absolutely over the moon with his build and loves it!
Dynos are useful for comparison, you can occasionally see those figures with the right operating conditions and a healthy car, don't forget that a dyno run is just a snapshot of a vehicles output in that specific point in time, with those specific conditions etc. So to compare fairly, you'd need to be comparing on the same day etc
@@RegalAutosport appreciate the reply mate, yeah I understand the whole dyno situation can differ, was the car running on 99 octane? And do you think some fresh ngk plugs would of made a difference getting it closer to 400, majority of Rs seem to run 400 or just over so for there to be a 20bhp difference would do my head In if I was the customer😂......(im currently looking to buy an R and goin straight to stage 2 this is why I'm interested you see)
@@Scouse.Malinois entirely depends on the conditions on the day and the health of the engine. Spark plugs won't improve output by 20HP unless they're solving a problem that the stock spark plugs have, for example if they have come to the end of their service life.
APR no longer supply Downpipes or their stage 2 for sports cat or decat cars. We do however offer a range of downpipes and our own in-house software, if you’re interested go to the description and find the details to speak to a performance specialist
@@RegalAutosport Can you guys explain please how the valve works on the stock or in the valved Milltek system? Is it operated by the driving mods or by rmp? In the video at 8:15 you can clearly hear that the sound is changed? I guess it was in race mode?
@@7.5R When you enter 'race' mode in the Golf R the valves open and idle revs increase, plus more pops and bangs! In eco/drive the valve will open at a certain RPM/load to improve flow.
@@RegalAutosport ah wicked I was looking to go stage 2 on my golf r but was told by another garage I had to change my sachs organic for a paddle as it would slip thanks for the feedback
No idea, we only talk about flywheel figures on our page. Our flywheel figures are calculated from the drivetrain losses though, not a simple 'hmmm I feel like adding 20% everywhere on everything today''
Thanks for the comment, if you wish to enjoy maximum torque then yes - you will need a clutch upgrade. If you do not want to upgrade the clutch on a manual, or DSG software on a DSG car then we can limit the torque output to try to reduce the likelihood of clutch slip.
@@Scouse.Malinois 😂 dam are you really that stupid ? Do you not know anything about Golf R’s & tuning ? Seen as though you are clueless let me break it down for you 4 piece racing line induction £1000 Wagner intercooler £800 Sachs performance clutch + flywheel £1000 Down pipe plus full cat back exhaust £2300 Stage 2 ECU remap £599 Labour costs £500-600 Add it all up chump and this doesn’t include miscellaneous costs for things like hoses and coolants !!!!
Yeah! Biggest upgrade for any turbocharged cars will always be Stage 1 software! However, the exhaust also improves the rear-end aesthetic and sound too
@@RegalAutosport OK because a guy in my work was telling make sure when getting am mot your car/my car (awd) is on the proper Dyno or it will damage the diffs (I have a golf r)
@@chunkyfxdls1878 I'm sure they do which is another good reason to ask the question and theres a difference between expert and professional, there is a lot of professionals that don't know a lot! The more information you gain the more you can distinguish between the two.
You can find those at www.goapr.com. I have APR Stage 2 on my MK7 Golf R manual: WHP = 354; WTQ = 379 (coincidentally those are the crank HP and TQ for Stage 1)
