    RS3 Swapped Golf R Project. IMS 1100

    Hahah. $300 more than I paid for a brand new Golf Sportwagen!

    IS38 Rebuild Question.

    To each his own, but with the gearing of a GSW/Alltrack, I'm not sure how I'd feel about "a bit later" spool than a stock is38 + IE DP. I haven't logged with the DP but I was seeing 0.5bar at 2500, 1bar at 3000, 1.4 peak with Unitronic's OTS is38 tune and the stock exhaust. I think it's a...

    RS3 Swapped Golf R Project. IMS 1100

    Not knowing anything about anything, would it be possible to swap everything out of the RS3 into the R? Instrument cluster, infotainment, body harness, etc. It would be a lot of work but it should be straightforward compared to hours and hours of fiddly pin-by-pin work marrying (then...

    IS38 1.8T Info/Discussion

    By someone, you mean me but I'm glad it doesn't have it. :) I checked this morning - definitely no extra noise on overrun.

    IS38 1.8T Info/Discussion

    I haven't noticed it. Maybe it's just subtle with a stock exhaust? Alternative: the marketing department just got it wrong. The page also mentions the "EU-style startup overrun", which I haven't noticed. To Sparky's point, I found some old posts on Vortex saying you shouldn't run the...

    IS38 1.8T Info/Discussion

    Here's a link to my log (in CSV from VCDS): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WRn5hQ5FFI7eo682YHAB7v5qg0uUUXr6 https://datazap.me/u/mfennell/log-1588773459?log=0&data=0-2

    IS38 1.8T Info/Discussion

    Quicker follow-up than I expected from Unitronic. Target is 1.4-1.5 so I'm there. Good points joedubs. The smoothness is probably throwing off my butt dyno calibration. Probably something to be had with an IC but it was 50F and I only did a single pull.

    IS38 1.8T Info/Discussion

    Has anyone done a Unitronic 2+ w/is38? My setup, just finished this past weekend: Stock air filter (aFe on order) Stock air box w/snow guard removed MST tube & elbow is38 (duh) Stock exhaust Stock intercooler I know I'm leaving some power on the table but I was a little underwhelmed so I...

    Low-end stumbling problems after Unitronic Stage1 upgrade on GSW 1.8T

    Final note: I mis-understood. I'm just using the latest 1+ file now and it's much better. John didn't think anything had been changed that should have directly addressed the behavior. Go figure. I'm 99% sure it's not a placebo effect. I wonder if the throttle mapping was changed. That...

    Low-end stumbling problems after Unitronic Stage1 upgrade on GSW 1.8T

    Preliminary results very good. I managed to get it to happen a few times but the duration and severity was about 1/2 according to the logs. More importantly, my normal drive style doesn't seem to trigger it. I was giving it slightly more throttle this morning compared to my last tests though...

    Low-end stumbling problems after Unitronic Stage1 upgrade on GSW 1.8T

    New file ready to upload. I know what I'm doing this weekend!

    Low-end stumbling problems after Unitronic Stage1 upgrade on GSW 1.8T

    Yes, I agree. JohnS says I'm the only one complaining out of 1100+ people on the same tune file but I complain with data. :) It shows what I'm describing is happening and I'm not directly causing it. He said he's putting a file together for me to try. In related news, I love VCDS. I wonder...

    Low-end stumbling problems after Unitronic Stage1 upgrade on GSW 1.8T

    Interesting info this w/e. I logged fuel injection timing and fuel delivery. And, assuming they mean what I think they mean, now I can see it go sideways. With the accelerator pedal perfectly still - out to 2 decimal places - the car pulls fuel, closes the throttle plate a bit and the RPMs...

    Unitronic Stage 2 IS20 complete

    I have a PERFECT straight, lightly traveled 1 mile stretch of road near me. Unfortunately, it's on a federal park. In the off-season, a couple of my friends will occasionally do some minor hooning there but I'd be the guy who encounters a ranger at 110mph... I have a great 3rd gear spot a...

    Low-end stumbling problems after Unitronic Stage1 upgrade on GSW 1.8T

    Quick update. I made it past the first tier support to the technical director who sent me a logging config file for my new VCDS. That's right, I used the problems with the tune as an excuse to spend more money. :)

    Unitronic 1/1+ low RPM stumble in 1.8T

    I got past the basic tech support and the tech director sent me a VCDS pre-selection file for some proper logging. VCDS cable will be in hand tomorrow.

    Low-end stumbling problems after Unitronic Stage1 upgrade on GSW 1.8T

    Last night it occurred to me I'll be installing the 'stock' tune I got from Unitronics, which is not guaranteed to be the one I started with. Oh well...

    You're completely right and I will do that. I just hate sitting around while it flashes. :)

    Unitronic 1/1+ low RPM stumble in 1.8T

    Jumping in from the 1.8t forum (I have a '19 Sportwagen 4MO 6MT) to ask if any of the GTI owners have had problems with a stumble while moving easily from a stop in 1st gear. If I pull away gently with about 1/4 pedal down, I get one or two (or three if I'm especially lucky) bucks that hit...
