Anyone have long term experience with an APR Stage 1 upgrade - 2017 R? I’m reading that it boosts pressure further - from 28 to 36psi. Can the engine handle more output for long term? Not planning to run it often, but don’t want damage at 100K mi.

I've had both APR stage 1 & 2 , Keep going back to stage 1 as prefer the quieter life with a oem exhaust and feel 370 ish BHP is plenty for road use, would 100% recommend the DSG tune if you have the 6 speed box as well , only issue i've had is turbo blown but mine was the early 702n turbo which was prone to going .

Hi Folks. 40,000 miles on APR stage 1: half on low torque with standard tcu tune, half on high torque with stage 1 apr dq381 tcu tune. Absolutely no issues. I drive pretty hard and fast. Mostly highway miles. Some hard driven canyon miles. I’ve been very happy with it. Hope that helps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi there. Could you advise what year R and was it the Manual or DSG? If manual, did you change the clutch right away to handle the high torque APR stage 1 file?

Is a stage 1 93 octane trans worth it?
Yes. Im stage 1 (93 octane/high torque map) absolutely worth every penny. Without the TCU tune, in regular D mode the shifts can be a tiny bit more harsh than stock but its not damaging the trans by any means. I definitely recommend having a dogbone mount insert from 034 or apr's new one before you tune the ecu.

What is TCU on a Golf R?
The TCU software delivers improved response and optimised shift points, but maintains the characteristics of Drive and Sports mode , handy for day-to-day driving. But put the Golf R into Manual mode, things get more interesting. With the auto kick-down feature disabled, you can select the gear you want for a much more involving drive (although auto upshift remains to protect the engine). Dynamic Launch Control is a very neat feature that allows you to launch at various different RPMs, depending on throttle position – ideal for getting the best 0-60mph times. Clutch pressures have also been optimised to deal with the additional power which means no requirement for an uprated clutch pack.
How to get intercooler on a golf?
It begins with removing the front bumper and progresses to the headlights, followed by the crash bar. There are many clips and wiring harnesses to undo before a pile of expensive Golf R parts are carefully placed on the workshop floor. Like watching a loved one in major surgery, you’re probably best off not seeing this part! Still, it’s an essential part of the process and with a highly experienced and skilled Revo technician on the case, the Golf is in very good hands.
What is Revo Is38ETR?
The Revo IS38ETR offers significant performance gains over a stock IS38. It comes with a new OEM compressor and turbine housings, so it’s a straight swap with no modifications needed. Every weak point of the stock IS38 has been enhanced. The compressor and turbine housings have been CNC re-profiled to match the larger wheels and stronger shaft. Strength is a key factor to the IS38ETR; a replacement back-plate machined from a billet piece offers greater resistance to warping. The larger bearing housing has also been upgraded to make room for a bespoke bearing system. Incorporating a reinforced thrust bearing. Precision balanced to levels above the OEM specification reduces vibration to the lowest possible level and improves the performance and reliability of the turbocharger. The IS38ETR is able to flow 40% more air than a stock IS38 unit.
