For those GTI owners who have replaced the IS20 with an IS38 . . . . .
1. Was it worth it, or do you wish you'd stayed with the IS20?
2. If you track your car at a road course type of track, are your oil or water temps higher, or can your car still manage them o.k.?
3. Is the exhaust note different? IF yes, please describe the difference you hear.
4. Do you have drone where you didn't before?
5. Is throttle modulation around town or on the track any easier? (IS20 can be peaky).
6. Other observations, warnings, or advice?
I understand there are other options available.
I'm considering IS38 because of any power increase option, it's the least costly of the options I'm aware of.
And, I'm still on the fence about whether to even do it, as I'm pleased with the stage 2 setup I have now.
Nevertheless, I'm curious. I haven't yet had the chance to ride in, let alone drive, an MK7 GTI with the IS38 setup.
Thanks for any info you can share.
