Would you say the car copes well or does it struggle in first gear if you try and feed the power in to quickly ? The 4 wheel drive system is the only reason I'm leaning towards a Golf R MK7 more because most of the time it's damp in England. I would prefer a cupra as you don't see much of them on the roads and I see about 4/5 golf r's everyday

The car copes well with the extra power. The right foot has to be tempered in the wet but overall I prefer it to an R.

Well the TTE470 hybrid turbo went on the car Wednesday and on Thursday it was tuning time.
Keeping torque to a reasonable level for FWD the E-Tuners stage 3 mapping on the TTE470 went very well. 472bhp (478.5ps) 422lbft (572nm). Silky smooth power delivery from the E-Tuners stage 3 DSG map with crackle overrun,7krpm shift points, higher clamping pressure and quicker gearshifts. Initial results show that the TTE470 makes boost around 500rpm later than the OEM turbo ( feels better to drive with a fwd car) but holds power and torque longer. On the OEM turbo, the tuner pegged the Rev limit at 6250 as the torque and power were dropping off significantly by that point. The TTE470 makes power and torque beyond this and so the Rev limit was lifted to 7000rpm. Torque is still over 405lbft (550nm) at 6000rpm! :driver:

Not a bad result. Would you do a full GTX3071R swap again or do you prefer the OEM hybrid turbo route?

Awesome result! Congrats Hurdy! :congrats:
All those ponies and still stock cat back too. :surprised:
The EA888 gen 3 are really great engines. Keep us posted with your time improvements. :driver:

Garrett has just released new smaller turbos capable of low rpm spool and great top power. Something like a GTX25 capable of pushing 500 CV. :scared:
