OK. Final mods were as follows:
- TPC20 Stage 3
- Precision Raceworks 3.5 v2 LPFP
- Ultimate Racing Catted and Resonated Downpipe
- Vibrant Resonator replacing OEM resonator
- OEM catback
- RS7 Ignition Coils
- 1 step colder plugs
I was not able to be there for the tuning due to COVID restrictions.
I did NOT get a before tune.
I did NOT get a log of the dyno run.
I was tuned with United Motorsports at Caste System Performance in New Jersey.
Dyno used was a DynoJet.
Ambient temps were about 90-95º
On 93 pump gas, I put down 361.62whp/337.26wtq.
On "e22" as claimed by Tuner, I put down 377.98whp/353.56wtq.
That same dyno has an is38 tuned GTI putting down 358whp/375wtq. You can see the comparison to that is38 in the 1st dyno image. It's the one with the awesome torque curve. They were also tuned by UM.
Tuner is saying the turbo is "a pig."
Compared to my Stage 1+ Unitronic tune without a downpipe, this is a pretty massive improvement, but the dyno numbers and torque curve have me pretty perplexed.
