Mk8 R Tuning Power Estimates

Even taking the car’s modifications out of the equation, other variables such as weather, elevation, fuel quality, dyno type, dyno fan setup, etc. come into play. With that being said, these results were acquired on our Mustang chassis dyno with SAE correction.

Refined Tuning Solutions For Mk8 Golf R

The Mk8 Golf R comes with incredibly sophisticated engine management systems from the factory. Working with these ECUs requires an intimate knowledge of engine dynamics and software engineering to properly understand and modify the functionality. Luckily, we have decades of experience in both fields.

Using Cobb's ProTuner software, we have spent the past few years developing and refining our own set of staged tunes or "OTS tunes" for your MQB vehicle to be used with the Cobb AccessPort. Countless hours of in-house dyno testing, drivability road testing, and track torture testing went into the development of our calibrations. So you can be sure your car will perform optimally while retaining excellent drivability characteristics and a healthy margin of safety built into every tune.

We go way beyond the standard fuel, boost, and ignition adjustments that are common in the tuning world. We spent the time to go through and map out the complete torque control system, the complex ignition control and knock detection systems, the sophisticated turbo and airflow modeling systems, the fuel management and injection timing systems, and countless other parameters. The end result can be felt any time you drive the car on a track, a fun road, or even for your regular grocery run. We generally see gains of around 120hp over the factory calibrations depending on model and modification level. But along with those power gains, you will notice greatly improved throttle response, reduced turbo lag, and very smooth power throughout the powerband.  We also offer all the custom features from Cobb. These include our own customized traction control system, flat foot shifting, and burbles/crackles.

When ordering, please select from the options listed for fuel quality, modifications, and special features you would like to be included in your tune. Please note that these maps are meant for the more basic Stage 1 and Stage 2 cars. If your car is more heavily modified and does not fall into the options available, we also offer custom e-tuning for just about any modification and fuel type available. 

EQT Mk8 Golf R Power Estimates

This is a question asked all too frequently, and while we’d love to give you a specific number, many variables can affect dyno results. Even taking the car’s modifications out of the equation, other variables such as weather, elevation, fuel quality, dyno type, dyno fan setup, etc. come into play. With that being said, these are ranges that most vehicles will see, given standard modifications and reasonable conditions:

Stage 1 - Golf R

Stage 2 - Golf R 

For Dyno Charts, select the desired configuration via the dropdowns below the description. These results were acquired on our Dynocom chassis dyno in 2WD mode and close to optimal conditions. Dyno numbers can vary greatly depending on dyno type and conditions.
