Not one person has said a bad thing about it. So you're gonna have to fork over the 25 bucks and try it yourself. Updates are always improvements (he's not just changing it because he wanted to change the feel of the tune), so in that sense, update it and if you dislike it so much to the point you don't want to take advantage of the fixes, you can roll back.

Yeah, it's a noticeable difference for me. Feels smoother overall, and feels like it pulls a bit harder. Well worth the money IMO.

Can't wait to see how staged tune MK8 compares.

Ed,
I’m getting a stage 3 build from Pagparts for my GTI and am interested on your turbo and tunes. From your experience what would you recommend for the turbo size and tunes? I already have all the usual bolt on parts for this project.
I’m looking for reliability and it’s a daily.
I’ll be using 93 oct and would like to avoid changing the fuel system.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Ed will tune a Vortex car without at least a HPFP.

So you’re building the motor to stay stock fuel and on 93?

Even is38 on 93 or were you only referring to big/Hybrid turbo?

Even stock turbo cars can gain quite a bit with ethanol. If you’re going through all the trouble and expense of swapping a turbo and paying for a tune why not go a tad further and get that extra power.

He must mean a hybrid because an IS38 does not need a HPFP. An IS38 on 93 octane is good for about 360 HP.

Because in my experience once you start making changes to the stock fueling system, reliability takes a hit. If that’s a misnomer on this platform, please educate me.

That’s a healthy jump from their stage 2 OTS… any idea what the WTQ is with an is38 on 93?

Well,
Give me a little guidance if you can please.
I come from the BMW scene.
About 2 yrs ago sold my car.
Bought a GTI and I love it.
I completely built my BMW but have no clue about VW
