Hey guys.
Just bought a 2016 R and was thinking of at least do the stage 1 tune on it.
BUT after talking to a very good VW tuner in Sweden I got really scared.

They have actually stoped tuning these car since its just a matter of time before the turbo blows. According to them is the turboshaft that is to small/weak and will break. They have tuned 100cars but already 10 has blowned the turbo and even a few completely stock cars thats they know of.
So he really recomended me to not do ANYTHING with this car due to this.
And ALL of the different turbo versions on the Mk7 R are bad!
Is there anyway to find out how big issue this really is?
He (the tuner) earn money selling tunes so was quite surpriced of his answer and if he really dont recomend me getting a tune I got scared!!
So what to do? Is the only way just keeping it stock and just use the warrant in case this happens or what?
