Msportman Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 This may prompt me to finally go MK8R next year. A nice low mileage Lapis or. Black 8R with PP, DCC although I’ll probably fit KW or Ohlins, FMIC, intake etc. Shame they don’t fit HK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Msportman Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Is this Revo stage 1 development or both stage 1&2? Ive heard Racingline, KW, Bilstein and Ohlins are developing various Coilovers kits 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cars have it fitted and cars ordered before then with it specced are still being delivered with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Is it just good timing that the ECU got cracked 3years after the release of the R? Almost like it was timed when for when warranty expires on the early cars. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msportman Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 I reckon a nice power upgrade ie Stage 2 and hardware, including FMIC, TCU, Coilovers and a suitable BBK capable of stopping a 440bhp MK8 will be in the region of £10k fitted. Ill hope to see the values drop a bit further before I commit. It’s similar money to when you mod a 7/7.5 but with a newer car with a better diff.

AHG Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 It’s like paying 10k to do a RS3 engine swap on your beautiful VW 8R (and without being gauche) best of all worlds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are nice car stock but I suppose you could just get away with just the software, Intake ,DP ( FMIC optional but advisable if on track) and maybe a decent set of front pads. Basic stage 2 costing approx £2600-£2800 plus labour depending on make of hardware etc. Pads and plugs would be extra and I expect plugs will be mandatory at stage 2.

AJP Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Exciting times for you mk8 owners. Shows how far things have progressed when my mk6 needs a bigger turbo, fuelling mods, and basically the full works to get into the low 400s, and now it can be done with just an intake, IC and a map! I’ll be keeping an eye on Hamza’s build. The guy loves his Dubs and he’s pretty clued up. Congrats to those of you preparing to step upon the slippery slope. I wonder what these will make with a hybrid… 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHG Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 I think it reaches 400hp (and 500Nm) with software only dsg_farter43 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darokk Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 These guys did 500+HP and 660+Nm on the stock turbo with E85. Very close to a 10 second quarter mile as well. The new EA888 is insane, even compared to the previous gens. It's in French but auto translate captions worked quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
