Hey y'all. Bought my 2016 Mk7 Gti last October and I'm just now getting into wanting to add more power. I just replaced the clutch with a DKM stage 2 setup in September (due to typical stock gti clutch slip) I bought the car with around 59k miles, it has a CTS downpipe, CTS inlet pipe, injen intake, custom center exhaust due to r400 rear bumper. I cannot tell if it's tuned or not though. I bought the car through dealership and it didn't come with a tuner device of any sort. I'm confused as to whether the tune was removed from the car, if the device was unmarried, or if there is still a tune on the car and the tuner is floating somewhere in the US still married to my car. How do y'all figure this out. The car does run rough idle at times, but I've reliably driven it for a year (highway miles). I was thinking that maybe the car runs a little rough due to not having a tune and having all the stage 2 bits on it. But no check engine lights are on and never have been. Although I've had the car for a year, I'm very new to euro cars in general and looking for insight. I want to eventually buy a tuner and have the car remapped and have plugs and coils upgraded to red tops. Just trying to make sure I'm not hurting the car by having improper tuning in place. It definitely feels faster than stock but seems to lack behind my friends stage 2 mk7s and mine still has that 120mph speed limiter. Let me know your thoughts.
