Hi, I did similar mods in the same order as you. First stage one and then added inlet pipe and elbow (plus turbo muffler delete) months after. I didn’t have any turbo flutter after inlet mods. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Definitely return and well done for being so thorough. Even if nothing goes wrong it’ll maybe always weigh on your mind that you may have a [emoji522] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree with this. I’ve had my GPF R running Revo stage 1 for a while now with Revo panel filter. All of which I was extremely happy with over stock as it’s much quicker. I just got my Revo guy to add turbo elbow, pipe and turbo muffler delete [emoji3526] and scared myself with the much faster pickup on first drive with the inlet mods. Feels like more power and torque too but the pickup is very noticeably faster and i have now recalibrated my right foot accordingly [emoji38] Maybe a bit more noise from the turbo too… maybe!

I ‘upgraded’ from a 2018 M3 Comp (pre OPF) to a 2019 R with standard akrapovic and DCC which I then got a REVO stage 1 ECU and TCU on. IMO Golf is more fun, more reliable and much more usable more of the time. Sounds better than the M 2X3 cylinders through unequal length exhausts too! My mates with a C63s and M2 thought I was mad until they tried to keep up! We are a one car family tho’ so an all rounder is important. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anybody tried this package? Decent look and upgrade from stock for those who need to replace discs and pads? I need to replace stock discs and pads soon…. VAGSport Full Front & Rear Brake Package – MQB 340mm/310mm (Tri-Slot Design) https://diversionstores.co.uk/products/vagsport-full-front-rear-brake-package-mqb-340mm-310mm-tri-slot-design?variant=40194910519377 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don’t forget you can get the standard akrapovic exhaust on the later model 7.5s and they don’t have resonators to counter the GPF! I waited for one with akrapovic plus the right additional spec and really like it. Happy searching……. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any more information or independent reviews on the APR DCC controller available yet? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome! DCC a great option and I look forward to you sharing your mods with the forum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fabulous colour, arguably the best! Subtle mods… Steering wheel wrap? New paddle shifts? Aluminium dial surrounds? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very sorry to hear your R has been stolen. If it’s not insensitive timing may I ask whether it was locked as keyless (touch the handle) or locked with the key fob, with the delayed touch of the outer handle, to disable keyless? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a Deep Pearl hatch and the paint work was horrendously swirly when I bought it used so I negotiated the money off equivalent to a stage 1 machine polish. The detailer I use says the clear top coat on Golfs can be very soft (depends on year) so it swirls easily but on the brightside polishes up to ~90% swirl reduction very easily too. Then you just need to look after it properly. I’ve had a plain white R estate too and fwiw I prefer DP black. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome, that’s a great VW history. I really enjoyed my Mk6 GTI but R is brilliant, enjoy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Body colour and wheel combo looks great! Enjoy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some thoughts for your sums…. - diesels typically lower service interval than Golf R and more expensive to service? Plus DPF does not like short commutes. - diesel cost likely to remain > petrol as UK imports diesel (but not from Russia anymore) and exports petrol. - I average about 25mpg out of my R and a lot of smiles per gallon.
