I'm glad I derailed this and created a gti vs r lol. Yeah my halogens are shitty. At least I upgraded the bulbs for 12$. I guess I really have the basic poor mans GTI... sigh. At least I didn't buy that SE GTI with AWD that was like 13k more than a normal se.

No sunroof = Not an SE

Hey now.

It's more equivalent to the Autobahn. Dual zone climate control, navigation, and full 12-way power drivers seat.
Yeah, not sure about the later years but in 2016 the only difference in features between the AB GTI and the R was the R didn't have a sunroof or spare tire (or working center console?), everything else inside the car was the same.

Really poor? LMAO. You realize these are fwd cars, right? Not all of that 400whp can be put down. Hitting sub-5 sec. 0-60 is insanely fast for fwd.

No, that is not fast at all :ROFLMAO: I think 0-60 is largely a dumb metric, but going to 400 whp from 230 whp and only shaving off 0.8 seconds is bad. Fix your tires and suspension. Stock FWD cars with much less power do that all day long.

There are only 3 stock FWD cars sold in the US market that can hit 0-60 in under 5 seconds with a perfect launch and very sticky tires:
-Mini GP
-CTR
-Veloster N DCT

Yeah… I found the “all day long” part quite comical.

Not to mention the fact that the driving skill and abuse you have to subject cars to in order to hit advertised 0-60 numbers is something very very few owners can do.


And 0-60 is kind of a stupid metric anyways..

40 roll… already in the meat of the power in 2nd and 3rd is the best one to ring out. By the time it’s time to get to 4th, speeds are already at jail time anyway.

Meh, my GLI w/ the DTR consistently does 5.0's 0-60, and has done a 4.90. While not R quick, a lame duck it is not...
Tom/APR1 do you have a 1/4 mile time/trap speed for that setup?

Update

Simos 18.10


We installed the turbo kit on another car (same box code as Branman's car). Ran through validation. All checks out.

Simos 18.x

Ran through all the updates and validated everything works as intended.

Rest of world

There are many variations. We started with some Non-OPF / Non-MPI vehicles (Simos 18.10) and then moved onto Simos 18.x vehicles. These are coming along. We're working with our partners in Germany and will seek TUV.

Overall

The team is happy. We're making a ton of updates and working through all the files now. As soon as they are all ready (there are a lot of them and each file takes a while to creat), we'll give an official update and let you know what the next steps are to get updated. We'll update dealers too. And just so everyone is aware, we'll be taking care of labor. Details will be coming when it's all done.
