So for the record, the cleaning did a HUGE job of restoring power.... Like a shitload.
My driving style is VERY hard (not quite tracking it, but I've got a hell of a lead foot....it's why I bought this car
No tune, completely stock. Upgraded the clutch but.... Lol
I used 90% Shell gas 93 octane, 8% other tier 1 brand, maybe 2% non tier 1 when I was shit outa luck.
Never less than 93...nobody sells 91.
The first 50k we're highway driving, the last 30k was about 30% highway and lots of stop and go once I moved.
The verdict is, this car is gonna suffer carbon buildup like hell. Period. Nothing special about the mk7 at all.
Second verdict is if you get a carbon cleaning, it makes A HUUUGE difference! Throttle response is AMAZING again and SMOOTH all the way through the power band again, even into redline.
Next journey....I'm researching hho cleaning to see if it has any effect on valve buildup. I may even install a dry hho to statically keep the carbon out.... But I've got a lot of research let to do. Shit I may start a company.
