\"Golf<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll have more to write on this in the coming weeks \/ months but last week, I drove 2 hours south and changed the stock software on my 2 month old Volkswagen Golf R (2016). After many hardware changes were made<\/a>, I was ready to take things to the next level and make some software changes. My car ships with 292 horsepower at the crank so we can assume 260-270 WHP on a stock Golf R. This yields around 4.6 second 0-60 times.<\/p>\n

United Motorsport is very well respected among VW \/ Audi tuners and they just so happen to be the first guys that got passed my car\u2019s ECU encryption. Their tune for MK7 Golf \/ GTI has been out for a while but the encryption was finicky and they do offer a return policy so I thought what the heck? A guy with the same tune that I have on stock tires did a 11.4 second quarter mile run so I was pretty stoked to get this on.<\/p>\n

The downpipe I installed myself and EFI Express in Lee, NH loaded the software on my car along with a Dyno run. The steps haven\u2019t been easy and honestly I\u2019m still in this limbo process on the car\u2019s performance. Here\u2019s a history of events:<\/p>\n
