Sorry to get this thread off topic from the DQ381 DSG tune everyone. Please go to this thread to discuss my blown motor: https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/topic?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforums%2Evwvortex%2Ecom%2Fshowthread%2Ephp%3Ft%3D9336503&share_tid=9336503&share_fid=7951&share_type=t Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

I was cruising along at 60mph [emoji2369] fresh oil change, floored it in 3rd and 4th minutes prior to that. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

DSG tune worked great though! APR nailed the DSG tune. Launch had all 4 of my tires spinning haha but no more launch controls from me anymore lol Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

APR completely banned and blocked me now, can't even message them on Facebook or messenger. They took them off Facebook every one, even the good posts. I was talking about my blown engine being the first blown engine in an APR Stage 2 full bolt on 2018 DSG Golf R and now I'm black listed........ Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Well APR took down all my posts and won't let me comment on the original thread about the DQ381. It's like they are trying to cover this up. They literally banned me from making posts or comments, my APR Stage 2 full bolt on 2018 DSG Golf R motor with 28k Miles blew up Saturday and I mentioned it and now they made be go bye bye lol......

My motor blew on my 2018 DSG APR Stage 2+ golf r on Saturday with a 93 octane high torque tune. Maybe I would suggest a low or medium torque. My car had 28k miles when she blew. Even got banned from the Facebook page for bringing it up. I think APR doesn't want to deal with it. So I would suggest a Conservative tune if going through them. I was a full bolt on.

Yes I am. The Haldex tune will be from United Motorsports when I get it done. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Wonder what the 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times will be now. I've been stage 2+ for a while in my 2018 DSG R. Will be tuning the DSG and Haldex unit very soon in the next week. Will keep you guys posted. I'm at 25,000 miles right now. And I drive my car very hard lol and never had one problem. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Well since this is the videos section here's a great up and coming YouTube channel with lots of Golf R content that you all might enjoy. I subscribed. https://youtu.be/ZWILGIYOaDs Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

NGK 4654 R7437-9 Racing Plug Audi RS3 OEM Coil Pack That's what I'm running and that's the best, they make plasma coil packs but they aren't worth it for the hundreds of dollars. https://www.uspmotorsports.com/Audi-RS3-OEM-Coil-Pack.html?keep_https=yes https://www.ngk.com/product.aspx?zpid=10133 Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Either the Turbo is defective and it's going to blow or the engine block is either cracked or defective, it might be a blown head gasket or your pistons are fried or your cylinder heads are warped, either way your car is done and you would be a fool not to take the money back because you got a lemon. On the plus side there are lots more out their to choose from. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Lol now I'm pre stage 3 cold feet. I want to do it but I know an engine build is more necessary than not even though it's not really required but I know myself and I know I'd want maximum boost, HP, and torque which means upgraded DSG clutch packs. Lol or I could just buy an Audi RS3 new or used and go Stage 1 and run 10's which is Stage 3 for the Golf R or go stage 2 and I'd be running 9's which is McLaren 720s, Dodge demon territory. Once you get bit by the mod bug and infected with the race disease you always want more and it's never enough lol. If you do the plug and play piggyback tune method it's a 95 percent chance that your not going to lose your warranty unless you know the right people if you catch my drift. JB1 and JB4 are quite safe and conservative [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Lol yeah me too. You just got to keep rear active braking manuevering turned off through the settings menu. I usually just keep all my safety systems off to be honest. Forward collision warning and assist sucks, active braking sucks, and Lane assist sucks, when everything is turned off besides blind spot monitoring and rear traffic alert the car performs wonderfully and I don't have to worry about the annoying sudden braking etc. I like 100% complete control of my car and all its functions and abilities, it's too Tesla like when everything is activate. When you hold in the bottom till it chimes you activate launch control mode but you also turn off all the features that scare you. I don't like my car stopping and slamming on the brakes for me. I have aftermarket brakes and it's not necessary. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

So do they make carbon fiber paddle shifters? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Well dang, haha then I guess I better enjoy the crap out of my marked up paddle shifters, maybe get them autographed to up the value to 50 bucks lol. Lesson learned, no regrets though they are fantastic and don't budge. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

https://www.uspmotorsports.com/MK7-GTI-Golf-R-DSG-Paddle-Extensions-Black.html But are they the same identical copies as mine with the same material?[emoji848] Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

I'll chime in. The reason I didn't get the S2T paddle shifters is because I don't like the style and the looks, the price makes sense because the quality and craftsmanship and metal material are top notch. I think the styles they offer are ugly. If I could find direct OEM replacement paddle shifters that look like my stick on USP Motorsports ones I'd probably pay 300 dollars for them as well if they were solid metal. Unfortunately like you said, too many stick on options..... Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Yeah funny you mention in the last part of you paragraph. I use my paddle shifters 7 percent of the time, my shift knob 3 percent of the time, and let the car shift for me the other 90 percent of the time. They are great when I'm whipping around corners, racing, or when I get that "I'm missing that manual feeling" and wanna drive like a racecar driver feeling. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

USP Motorsports MK7/7.5 GTI/R compatible. $49.99 billet aluminum on the outside, plastic core between aluminum, 3M adhesive, have gone through negative temperatures and 100 plus degree inside temperatures and they are still stuck on like glue. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Ok. I'll try it when I get it back. In the shop getting an intercooler and APR V2.6 update along with many other things. Could it be that I'm holding in launch control too long possibly as well? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
