I’d love that, but he didn’t give me that option. He said he’ll send me the tool, but we have to do the tune over the phone.

This is the first I’ve heard of it.

So is he sending you a premade tune or are you sending logs and tuning?
I had a tune that he had ots. So he just emailed the tune. I downloaded to the tuner & loaded into car
If you google search "VW Canada Virtual Counter" you have access to all the diagrams and part numbers for your VIN#
However, once you find the part just double check with your dealer, I've had the wrong part number off their virtual counter and the dealer would correct me from their system.
Example, I just picked up two rear coils, and the part number was 5QM511115AC online. Dealership said that option was greyed out for my VIN, and their system showed AB for my VIN.
Part numbers are different for spring rates I'm sure, but I wasn't going to bother arguing.

I've been noticing a dip in my MPG lately that isn't explained solely by my right foot. I have a 2019 GTI manual, it's got a stock tune, IE intake, and a TIP. I've put on ~62k and changed the oil at 60k and did plugs around 40k
I'm am going to clean the air filter and replace plugs, is there anything else I should take a look at?
I have a stage 1 EQT tune I'll be loading soon so which plugs I get are a consideration. EQT doesn't say anything about going colder for the time so assuming Ruth's are good for stock and stage 1?

Cold weather/snows?

Definitely a consideration but I was noticing this when I still had my summer tires on, but snows definitely don't help

Should be fine for Stage 1, I believe the big thing there is checking your plugs regularly for the heat mark location and increasing your change frequency.
Stage 2 IIRC is where you want one step colder plugs, possibly a recessed design of some denomination, etc. They used to have a page on their site about their plug recommendations.
Ran Ruth’s on upgraded turbo for 2 years without any issues.

They still do, just under the "General" on their FAQ. Read this whole FAQ like 10 times before flashing my car to make sure it was all done correctly.
When i put the car into reverse there is an audible electronic motor sound - is this to do with back up camera ? should it be silent ?
only ever had NA cars - When driving what i assume is the after market airbox or blow off valve connected to the Turbo makes a wheeze like its dumping air during gear changes. - None of the stock cars i test drove had this sound - how do i get rid of it ?

The electronic motor sound is the back up camera.
The dumping air sound is the diverter valve. Your aftermarket intake might be making it a little louder but even with the stock air box it's going to make a little bit of noise. It's a turbocharged car, it's dumping excess pressure somewhere and back into the intake stream is the quieter of the two options (which you are doing now).
