I know you have more mods but I am hoping it wills till respond well and be a solid 4sec/12sec car. I am following the GTI threads which is a FWD and severely limits 0-60 and launch over quattro.But they are seeing hi 12 or 13 flat and breaking 5s 0-60 on FWD mainly stock ot intake.

DP they are mid to hi 12 but 0-60 still an issue with FWD

Most JB11/4 reviews I have seen are for the Golf R which has more power stock anyway but seem to be 12sec flat car. with just stage1. Again the quattro has a better AWD system though so I would hope to see hi-mid 12s stock and mid 4s 0-60 on a 4.8boost.

I am leased so debating on the center res delete to xpipe. I am concerned about any drone and loud cold starts and noise at idle. My A6 3.0T had a res delete and muffler swap and man it sucked. I will leave alone for the family's sake dont want to ruin the quiet ride unless I can get a stealth upgrade that only comes out under loads

i thought DP as huge hp gain like 30-40hp maybe just on 220hp gti and maybe why we are at 252 already.

i feel stock it is mid 5s without LC and close to 5 flat with LC

i meant +4.8psi over stock. I heard that the cooling is key of course. The new 034 with wide silicon intake pipe has to help too. I am leased too and changing INtercooler does not make sense. If 12/4 car that is solid the next step is keep it and do is38 swap and intercooler and it will be 11s

with an LC launch on JB4 at stock map 2 is the seat of the pants feeling noticeable over stock?

Is custom map tuning a huge benefit does it improve the overall performance you can get of it over map 2? (aside from just cranking boost up) I will not mess with overall max boost since engine is stock but the boost curve maybe.

Also, I think gti guys with DP, have a lot of issues getting AFR right. Some rich some lean. I assume since they messed with the DP. Is this the case for stock setup w/ just an intake? Any big fuel trim adjustments needed or make improvements?

There are only 3 maps currently; Map 0(stock), Map 1(tune), and map 6(custom tune). Map 2 is not to be used as its over boosted.

I havent done any LC's yet but even with the transmission in D the car pulls like a sonofagun. When I was back to stock driving to the dealership last week the car felt anemic. Its a completely different car.

The custom mapping right now Im testing could end up becoming what map 1 will be for customers.

The maps are fine with or w/out an intake. Obviously having an intake helps.
