So how did it go?
This is standard for Cobb OTS maps. Pick up one of our base maps or a custom e-tune and thing will run much better all around.

Just trying to wrap my head around this situation. Why would an ostensibly conservative OTS map from a company with in-house dyno(s), plenty on engineering know-how and multiple experienced tuners on the payroll be so vasty inferior to a tune made by one person a thousand miles away and delivered via email? Does anyone think that COBB didn't actually spend hours and hours or days and days dyno testing their OTS maps and even beta test them in different areas and climates to make sure they were safe for the engine before releasing them to the public? COBB has been supplying OTS maps for turbocharged engines for over a decade now and they don't have a reputation for wrecking engines, at least not when their octane and supporting mod requirements are met. Are things totally different with their VW offerings?
I want a powerful, reliable and consistent pump gas tune for my MK7.5 R and am willing to buy it from anyone or anywhere but the dots don't line up for me on this one.

car is running 91 and on the newest revision of map 2
There are many different approaches to tuning any platform. I don’t personally know how much time Cobb put into developing their OTS maps, but I can tell you that I have spent countless hours developing mine. I think the big factor is that I daily drive my 7R and I’m borderline OCD when it comes to how my cars drive and perform. I can almost guarantee I have significantly more time and revisions in my maps that Cobb does. Another large factor is that I also tune these cars on a daily basis. This means that I have a lot more experience with the platform than any of the Cobb tuners. In fact, I work closely with Cobb’s developers to continue to test and further develop their software. So again, I personally have experience with many more cars in this platform than any particular tuner at Cobb.
Ultimately, Cobb’s OTS maps are not terrible, but there are better ways to tune these cars and that’s where the expertise of tuners like myself comes into play.
