I got a Unitronic Stage 2 tune at just over 10k miles and and am currently at about 33k with no issues whatsoever.

Cool. Stage 2? You probably have over 300+ hp.

I haven't been on a dyno but other people are getting around 320whp, It really makes the car quick. The ability to flash your ecu at home is nice too.

A quick stop for Monday 85 cents coffee at 85 degrees Cafe.

Congrats Paul, will have to keep an eye out for you on the road with it

I am digging the wheel design, any plans for modding?

Thanks Wais. I don't think I will mod this car; maybe changing the wheel with more aggressive offset and a little wider tires. The R is 72K/6 years bumper to bumper warranty so modding ECU (tuning ECU) would void the warranty. It's fast enough in stock form, and handling is really good with the dynamic chassis control options. Also, it's 4 wheel drive, but not full time. I can drop by the Z meet with my R

Good plan, I would just get wheels and call it a day!

Bring it by, I want to check it out!

Ha! My buddy has a blue '16 MK7 R and said the same thing. Two years later he's full bolt on and stage 2 tune. That hatch is seriously quick and has gobs of torque. You'd never think it's a 2.0T under the hood.

It's a real sleeper.

A year later, it's now ECU/TCU stage 1 tuned. Holy crap.....I was driving home with a big smile after the tunes.

Very nice! I looked hard at them before going with the turbocharged cx5 due to being honest with myself about ground clearance needs.

Yup.
How do those DSG's fare long-term, though? I hear you do have to drive them correctly.
