So after driving a G20 m340i for 2 years, decided i need something with more space and more useful in daily life. So picked up a FL nardo grey sportline, with the 2.0 TSI 206kw engine that is the same as the golf 8R engine with the DNFE code and same gearbox, not yet sure about the haldex but we will see. Currently there are mounted 19 inch supernovas with spacers. This week we will mount lowering springs and do Stage 1 that seems really promising at around 390PS. The plan is to have the car really long term and then later get a weekend car so i will try to not go to far with power upgrades,

I would like to do some retrofits and i hope @ApertureS and other folk of the forum could help me out. 

First few retrofits i would like to do is: Phone wireless charger, passenger powered seat, and auto drop rear seats from the trunk and if its possible to upgrade USB-B to C as there is only 1 in the car currently. 

 

 

Started experimenting with some engine tunes car stock does 0-200 in ~22 seconds and everyone else has the same experience on the internet, initially thought there was something wrong with the car as i expected 0-200 to be high 16 sec/low 17sec as the tune should provide nearly 100hp. But the car showed 20 secs to 200.

After debugging it seems i had really bad fuel, lucky was close to empty, putting a fresh tank of 100 Octane, a run later we are in consistently in the 18.5 sec to 200 but the car is still pulling spark, seems that spark plugs are bad with only 17tkm. 

 

Summary:

 

Stock = 22 secs

 

Tune bad fuel + bad sparkplugs = 20 secs

 

Tune good fuel + bad sparkplugs = 18.5 secs

Zdravey! Well, we are almost neighbors and same choice of ride 😜

What Stage 1 options are you evaluating, remap or additional module? Me I am going for a module, starting to research, planning to do it around summer's end ...

Remap, I'm a local reseller of tunes/maps, so i have all available on hand. I tried 3 different tunes till now and its the samish, 18.3 0 - 200 being the best run. The issue it seems, is the 1800 kg empty weight

I based the 16-17 sec per, Golf 8R who is 200 kg lighter.

Nice to know, who knows, you are not far away 😁

so it is Stage 1 ECU tune only without TCU tune, without any HW modification to get from 280 to 390 PS ??

 

It can be done without the TCU tune, no HW modifications. In my example i tuned the TCU too, to get more aggressive shifts. On the engine tune, i enabled DSG ignition cut (dsg farts) but its not audible as the 2 OPF are a huge blocker.
