So, I think it's all done now.

• Stage 2 mapping

• APR air intake and filter

• Upgraded intercooler

• Downpipe with 200 cell cat

• H&R lowering springs

• Audi RS4 (2017) 8.5 / 19" wheels

• Maxton side skirts

• Custom box 1000W jbl sub

Probably painting the ceiling black when i do some small scratches. And that should be it.

After 4 years, most guys walking by it, stop for a better look. Quite happy with it.

Power is a bit too much. You can't put the foot down at lower speeds and high gear.

But, interesting enough, I can leave the engine in eco mode and becomes a little tamer (still going strong) and if i need the kick, i press the pedal to the metal, pressing the boost button which apparently becomes active now only in eco mode (normal and sport I guess are already boosted from the remap).

It just drives amazing, doing B roads on 4th and 5th, cruising effortlessly at any RPM and becoming a beast if you press it hard.

I guess, how a vRS Performance pack should be :)

Nice upgrades. Similar to mine. Just mine is with a DSG.

No upgraded clutch with that torque? As I read online, above 480 NM an upgraded clutch is highly recommended.

Well, so far so good.

It does vibrate if you floor it on the 5th or 6th at low rpm, clutch can't handle max torque at low rpm.

But you can floor it from 2500 to avoid that.

Or, which seems a better solution so far, keep it in eco and power goes a bit lower.

And the boost button becomes active so you have it when u want it.

More like a 280ish hp with 470ish torque that becomes 330 and 560 when you floor it.

When the clutch gives up, i guess will change to smth better, a manual Golf R 7 maybe?

Great if she is holding for now. :) As you said, you will upgrade the clutch when needed.

What's the boost button? This is something aftermarket?

Well, it is OEM... I've seen it first on a DSG Passat of 2006...

It is a button located on the floor, it clicks when you press the throttle to the max and a bit further, an extra 2cm or something.

Back in the passat, you would get some more power from it.

I am reading now in forums that for DSG cars, it kicks down to the right gear to accelarate faster (case of surpass or similar).

I am also reading that it overrides the speed limiter (no idea, I've driven mine past 250km/h but i can't remember if i was pressing the boost button).

Another one says it cuts down AC and other load to give you more immediate power...

Others are saying that it does nothing for Sport/Normal modes but it does give you extra power when in Eco.

Which is exactly my case. I keep it in individual (Chassis & Steering in Sport, Engine and Sound in Eco) and as i said in the previous post, i got the perfect balance of tamed power for normal driving and the beast unleashed when you floor it.

I'm sure you should have it too. Try the ECO, floor it and report back :)

Cheerio

Aha. Now I know what you mean. I rarely use ECO mode. Maybe used it twice in my first year of ownership back in 2021

Not sure it does anything beside shifting down to he lowest possible gear.

Well, in mine, it makes quite a difference.

Very welcoming trick.
