I don't understand why you jumped on @GTI Jake either. He contributes a lot to the forum. He has a wealth of knowledge with the GTI etc and a lot of his videos are helpful to many people.Can confirm. You should post there more often
Start off slow. Go from Map 1, to Map 2, then to a Map 6. Space it out over like 3 months.
Then...
Take it off.
When she says the car feels different and doesn't seem as quick as it was, suggest she must just be used to it, but you can fix that with an ECU tune

Speaking from experience????
Didn't we try that once upon a time?Wouldnāt live be so much easier if we could all live with a Nissan Rogue? I for one am jealous!
)Full disclosure: As with anything, some people like to argue just for the sake of arguing and jump at the chance to undermined me every chance they get. To them Iād say write your own thread and let this one help people who genuinely want advice from someone with lots of MQB experience. Just to possibly nip that in the butt hereās my ignore list for reference of who to expect that from:
So all of this going on is really just about your disagreement that tires/RSB/handling upgrades are after power upgrades in someone's upgrade list? Much like your comment about the GTI RSB being fine, I've never had a car with basic AS tires that can't get through turns at speeds that most would consider fast on public roads and I consider myself a competent driver that's done the HPDE thing etc. I'd put taking a HPDE before tires or anything else if turning is your thing. Sure, my tires now are nicer than the ones it came with (but still just UHP AS, I've never had summer tires in my life) but this never was a limit to my fun or driving ability around town. The fwd GTIs suffer from adding power and losing traction like any fwd car on take-offs or slow rolling starts and stickier tires help on that end as well. I have a Sportwagen with 4Motion so traction isn't a huge problem for me. Also of note are brakes - upgrading pads/fluid is a nice one to go with added power and upgraded tires.
Fixed for you
Seems like deeply hurt feelings in this thread.
OP Posts a clickbait thread with a screen grab of his list, and link to the associated YouTube video. The entire content of his thread exists in three planes:
1: of you donāt agree with his brand of group think, or click the link, you donāt deserve to receive the earth shattering opinions. (For you @uberdot
2: continued clickbait. āWatch the vid to hear all about what I think. Itās unbiased beyond my understanding of the world, but donāt you disagree because people donāt buy cars to turn.ā
3: the only actual opinion he supports in the thread is him complaining about how others donāt agree with him, are undermining him, and slides to the fact that if you do so, youāll be blocked.
I donāt agree with his ways, nor his opinions, but what does that matter? It doesnāt, at least not to me, or any of his supporters. I get it, heās trying to run a business and eek out some cash from a niche group of people on the internet, and you all feel the need to vehemently defend him.
My ācool story, broā was, as always, a troll for this dude who clearly thinks that his prowess in a single, or maybe numerous, internet forums and social media amounts to much more than appealing to false authority. He presented himself ripe for a troll.
I used to write how toās, shoot install videos, tune customer cars, fabricate, talk on the phone and endless emails holding peoples hands through them most banal of subjects. If you built/tuned a EJ Subaru in the late 00ās you likely cited my work. What does that mean to to the world? Absolutely nothing.
For his continued willingness to endure this, it shows his true desire to thrive in his business venture, or some deeply rooted self loathing. Either way, the best of luck to him... as Iām sure Iāve been blocked.
TLDR: Iām a cunt
