Reflect tuning does MPI and flex for the 1.8
Ian has been tuning for years and has been able to do things other tuners can’t. He’s pretty well known as well.Thanks. Filled out their contact form.
I'm assuming the "concerns" that moose expressed about their tuning have been worked out since they were posted a couple of years ago?
The website for Reflect is also worse than UMs. Nice to know they'll tune vw/Audi and Sea-Doo.

None are needed, the IS38 with OTS tune runs great on the stock fueling. With that said, it's not pushed on stock fuelling (b/c you are likely getting near it's limits) and if you want more power than the OTS tunes offer, you'll need to upgrade to MPI/LPFP or possibly just a HPFP. OTS tunes are producing just north of 350 hp at the crank - mine with Unitronic software has pushed more using some ethanol. If you want more power/fuelling upgrades, you'll need custom tuning provided by United, Reflect, or possibly EQT using Ecutek if your ECU's box code is compatible.Does anyone have any input on what fueling upgrades are needed for the is38 to run properly on the 1.8t? I want to see about 340-360hp and probably around 330-350ftlbs is it just injectors and a hpfp that need an upgrade or will i need to throw a lpfp in as well. more over could I use oem options out of an R/GTI or would I have to go aftermarket?
Thank you! This is for my girlfriends tsi and she has already decided on a custom eqt tune with ecutek as she loves the community and service ive gotten via eqt. I just wasn't sure how capable the tsi component's were or if we would need more to hit the numbers that tuners have claimed. This is definitely good to know and the fast feedback is highly appreciated. 350 at the crank will be plenty for her though and not having to re vamp fueling will save her a lot of cash for the build. Do you have an instagram or anything I could check your car out on?None are needed, the IS38 with OTS tune runs great on the stock fueling.

Here's my build thread, IG is @karstgeo72. Not many have done EQT on these so curious how it will be. I've hit some solid numbers with Unitronic; my data are in my sig/that thread. So many folks running OTS IS38 tunes from Unitronic and APR.Thank you!
