Nice! Great to see the is38 doesn't dip below stock torque down low. Pretty amazing.

Any info on stock valve spring longevity? With the power peak moving up to 6500, is an upgrade beneficial?

 

[Arin@APR]

We haven't seen any float issues or necessity to upgrade the springs.

Telling people at work about the mk7 tunes and they think I'm lying. Makes the Ford guys emotional.

I'd imagine there is going to be some lag and then hang on. I had my car on map 0 a couple of weeks ago and it felt like a turd. So going from stock level torque to over 300 at 3,000+ is going to be reminiscent of a hopped up grand national

Arin, Is the is38 ok with the tiptronic trans?

 

[Arin@APR]

I would go with the IS20 on the tip since we aren't able to adjust the redline to take advantage of the IS38 very well.

My tip will shift at 6,700 in sport mode. How much higher does the IS38 pull for?

 

[Arin@APR]

7,000.

Are you finding the 2.25" stock exhaust to be limiting at some point? Assuming the Alltrack also has the 2.25" exhaust and the IS38 numbers above are using stock exhaust? Thx!

Hey Arin,
Curious about availability for 1.8 Golfs w/ TipTronic. My tuner ran my box code and said it's not available.

Yeah. Actually, the tiptronic red line Is stupid stock. It shifts way beyond the power peak. With an is20 time it starts to feel about right. The sport 6700 would be ready for the is38.

The tiptronic shifts surprisingly nice in manual mode too.

Keep your tuner away from your box.
