2017 Golf SportWagen and the current set-up is IS20 with Unitronics Stage 2 IS20 tune. I am due to change the spark plugs soon. I hear going with a RS7 plug is worth it… Also thinking of upgrading the coils. What do you all think is the best to go with? Cheers

Ordered a AWE Tuning Touring exhaust for my MK7 SportWagen. I have some some Unitronics goodies, stage 2 IS20 tune, 3 inch downpipe. Question I have is… Does anyone have a similar setup? Videos on YouTube are sparse and not the greatest. Hopefully made the right decision. Cheers

Appreciate it!

I will be! In the mix of sourcing all the parts. Blown third gear twice and now second. I knew the MQ250 was weak but didn’t realize this weak! Appreciate the information!

Not sure if I am super unlucky or too hard on the car. Set up is a 17 SportWagen FWD with the MQ250 5 speed. I upgraded the clutch to Southbend Stage 2 Daily and running a IS20 with Unitronics Stage 2 plus IS20 tune. The factory transmission went at 86k with 10k of it running the current...

Appreciate it!

Hey all, I posted not to long ago as I blew up my transmission, third gear more specifically. I replaced it with a used one with 70k on it and a month later and roughly 1,200 kilometres later it went again. All I am running is an IS20 with a Stage 2 tune and a 3 inch downpipe. Do they make a...

What I meant is if needed to be topped off at the service intervals it would have been. Wasn’t the one working on the car. When I smell the coolant and look, the level is always the same and no leaks or residue anywhere.

Nope! This has been ongoing for almost a year. Last time coolant was topped of was late October. Coolant level is always constant and no leaks seen anywhere. Thermostat housing was replaced under warranty around 60,000kms.

Hey all, I have a 2017 SportWagen that I upgraded to and IS20 and I am running Unitronics Stage 2 to support the IS20. I find that every once in a while I have a bit of steam coming from the front engine bay area and I more often than not smell coolant from the car at idle and even more so...

Yeah I am running IS20 with Stage 2 Unitronics. On Unitronics website they have the GTI exhaust listed at 3 inches. To your point... Not sure if the length will work being that the GSW is longer. Thanks

Has anyone installed a 3 inch dual exhaust meant for a mk7 GTI onto a mk7 SportWagen? It’s a 2017 fwd version. I currently have a 3 inch catted downpipe from Unitronics. Thanks

Has anyone mated the mk7 GTi exhaust on a mk7 SportWagen? I already have their 3 inch catted downpipe. Yes I know I’ll have to change the rear valence. If anyone has pictures that would be nice. Thanks

You definitely have my attention as I blew my third gear on my way into work the other day. Best guess is I broke off some of the teeth as I hear crackling sounds coming from the casing. I found a 6 speed RQB, mine is a 5 speed RTX. Not sure if they’ll pair up. If it’s out of a GTI being...

Also forgot to mention that I am running an IS20, all supporting mods and Stage 2 IS20 from Unitronics. Probably didn’t help.
