Was about to post, "what a poseur, putting a 6spd knob on a tsi" šŸ˜‚

Usually go to new posts and open all the ones in interested in, in a new tab and the site takes me to the newest post. So sometimes I don't know which thread I'm reading...then I saw it was you.

How does it feel?

Lol, so far so good. I only have 70miles on the clutch but i did a little WOT in 3rd to log if i have afr issue. It looked ok, hopefully it stays that way tho. Map 0 no stack just apr is38 file.

How does your is38 fell compared to stage 1, if you were ever stage 1. Guess I was expecting more. Just from seat of the pants, feels a little quicker. Also barely spun tires in 2nd gear. Granted I have 265's, but still. Thinking I want to stack with jb4, but not sure how far you can take it without hpfp

Well i run 28psi stacked on meth on is38. Car hauls ass. Def a 120+ trap car. I run 7-8psi over apr is38 file. There should be a thread on here called ironshadesā€™s car that has all my info from is38 to is20 and what not. But stg 1 to is38 is completely diff animals... even in 3rd i can melt my tires if i want to. Heres a log. Keep in mind this log is from 100ā€™ outside temps over 4000da.

It says well below 15, so it looks good to me. Can you add the gear indicator to your logs?

The gearing in my MK6 GTI was my favorite of the 3 manuals Iā€™ve owned. The most ā€œnarrow ratiosā€ Iā€™ve had. 6th was spinning ~3K at 75 mph, and the ratios were so tight from 1-4 that it played super well with the turbo, and the underpowered 200HP/207TQ. Basically imperceptible turbo lag. Both MK7ā€™s Iā€™ve had had much less sporty manual gearing, clearly more efficiency oriented.

Iā€™ve been thinking about a future MK6 Golf R 6MT swap into my Alltrack, since it *should* bolt right up. Iā€™d imagine the MK6 Golf R had even sportier gearing than the GTI, considering it had AWD to take advantage of even more explosive 1st2nd gear pulls.

Did another 2nd gear log. You can see where it went from seeing 2nd to going to 9th on log

Nice, all that matters with the log is if the AFR has a change when you transition from in gear to out of gear, so you look good to me.

yeah, thats what ive been watching the whole time is afr. so far so good tho. as far as coding, know of anyway to removed the gear on dash completely? I was thinking of just putting a sticker over it and leaving it in 5mt mode, because im tired of looking at it

Not as far as I know. I would prefer to have it gone or something too.

Gotcha, i think im just going to put a sticker over it and forget about it.. i never used boost by gear as it is. So another couple days of driving and weā€™ll see what dragy 60-100 is. Previous best is 4.78 60-100mph.
