Looking at your logs, those trims are pretty high, as is your FOL @75. Are you getting any rail pressure codes? You have multiple corrections across the cylinders spanning a large RPM range too. You may consider dialing it back some to tune those out. Maybe post the logs in the Map 6 thread and see what the guys (Diggs, Oblivous)think. Have you sent them to George?
I may attempt to piece together a B8 setup also but it’s slim pickings finding new stock.

Yes I got a few sporadic rail pressure codes as I was doing the tuning. I backed off of that tune after those logs, I should have made that clear. Those are just the logs I have saved that were closest to the 12.7 run.
I had one limp-mode event during my runs at the strip. Made a few corrections after, and the car was happy.
I was working with George on this tune, and we were aware of the situation. There were fairly large ambient air temp variations as we were tuning, making it difficult to dial in. The car is stored for winter now. I plan on having the car ECU/TCU tuned in the spring, and will run the JB4 on top of the tune.
I used the 'just keep ordering until you get one' method. Worked OK

You’re on top of it. Good stuff! What flash are you considering in the spring?

The Go-To is APR, a good friend runs an APR IS38 + JB4 on his 4motion sportwagen and has been happy with it.
I will need to do some more research, but for now need to save up the $$$$.

Nice, they look great. I’m looking at this brake upgrade for my golf too. Found a set near me for $450 CAD including rotors and stainless lines I’m going to pick up

I like the Golf wagon very much, but my gf hates it....
Keep going man, I like the colour of your calipers, I painted mine into blue and this gives another feeling as most of the cars have red calipers instead.

I've put a couple hundred miles on the Golf since taking it out of storage.
I am in love with the B8 / Eibach combo. I have not yet brought it to the alignment shop, but everything has settled down nicely, and it feels great on my commute. The new suspension gives a smooth, sporty ride, exactly what I was looking for.
I am in the process of having my DSG tuned by 034, just waiting for some hardware from them in the mail.
I had some black vinyl from another project and am trying out some simple eyelids, will see if they grow on me over the next few days.

I began to exceed the limits of the stock DSG tune, and have decided on a Unitronic Stage 2 TCU Tune. Also went with a Stage 2 IS20 ECU tune to replace the JB4 for now.
I have had both tunes for about a week. The TCU tune is a huge upgrade over the stock tune. D mode is great for everyday, S mode is much more usable than before, and I have not noticed any clutch slip. I cannot comment on how fast the ECU tune is compared to a custom JB4 map 6, but I can say it is much smoother. The power is available throughout throttle positions, as opposed to coming on all at the end with the JB4. I am working with John at Unitronic on an intermittent overboost error which seems to disappear as soon as I do logging on VCDS. Maybe it has gone away, maybe it will show up again.
Below are the best logs from about a dozen where I tried to replicate the issue.

I previously had a pair of cheap blue aspherical mirrors, and I could just not get used to the transition area on them. Reinstalled the OE mirrors, and found what I wanted at the parts store. So much more to see now!
I was very happy with how my Bilstein / Eibach combo was sitting now, but was underwhelmed with the cornering ability. I hadn't yet done an alignment, which I figured was the source of the problem, but I didn't think I was driving for nearly 1000 miles with this bad of an alignment. Oops!
It drives so much better now, exactly what I was looking for! Thankfully no funny wear on the tires from all those miles. Corners are great, and the ride is plenty comfortable for my commute and for fun driving. Really glad I went with this set up.

Your car looks fantastic! I am a wagon freak so it is nice to see someone else do one up. I am IS20 with ApR tune for 91 octane. Love the Motegis as well, I have had them in three different cars,mother are a great wheel, mine are black with 245 Indy 500. Keep posting!
Thanks! The wagon drives so well now, I'm very happy with it. IS20 is great on these, I've ridden in an is38 4 motion wagon and it's wild. Maybe someday
