I ran 25psi on my Michelin PSS for my best time. Only 2.39 60ft. But it hooked up in 2nd gear. No tune.

Ran 20psi on the hankooks cutting 2.1s and going 12.9-13.0@108-112.
I think it would have done better closer to 25 psi

Just whatever was programmed in by Unitronic (was Uni S2 at the time).
I know they limit TQ in the lower gears but no idea how much.

So 13.7 with an otherwise stock car with just an intake?

Autotech Intake and a AWE cat back. No spare. Otherwise totally stock. 91 oct.
It's the quickest stock tune GTI run I've seen (without a DP).

I wonder if you bought the car used? looks like a Stage 1 pass.

I did buy it used. That was my thought as well. But I checked and it passes all the tests I read to do. If you hold the brake and the gas, the revs don't go up much, and I think it won't rev up past like 4k RPM I you rev it at a standstill. Also brought it in to the dealer twice, once for warranty work (faulty shifter) and they never said anything.
If you have other suggestions on how to double check for a tune, let me know. I am planning on hitting the dyno next. But I think it's just because it's one of the lighter GTIs you can get, 2 door, no sunroof. I also think most guys go straight to a tune and don't spend much time at the drag strip stock.

What does the built in boost gauge go up to? Pretty sure if tuned it would read boost accurately still. Stock I've seen tap out at 21psi on really hot days on stock cars. On the gauge it would be 21+~15=36. If it reads up close to 40 or over at any point it is tuned.

Mine doesn't seem to have that performance screen available. I remembering looking for it when I first got the car.
Oh, and I love your profile pic. Cracks me up.

Either way.... 13.7 in the 1/4 is very respectable. Of course if you go stage 1 and your time stays the same, you know it was tuned.

Sorry, no stock GTI is trapping 103 on ACN91.

Tell me what to check. Any other tell-tale signs of a tune?
Can't wait to dyno.
Also, it was nice and cold out when I did that run...

I guess you could send your VIN to all the major tuners and ask. I think all of them remove the speed governor too but don't quote me on that (and don't go out and try to kill yourself.) $ wise, you could get a boost gauge.
If you are thinking of tuning you should ask around as if it is already done then you won't be wasting money.
