Flybye Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 This little 4 cylinder has me impressed. Just two easy mods and a tune and then breaking into 11's with a tune only. This one is just tune and intake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0gnUUZTUt0 I talked with the guys at Unitronics at a show a few weeks backand they are doing just as well. They told me they have their new A3 running 11's with the same mods and the Golf R turbo. It was running low 12's on the stock unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Its an improvement for sure, DSG being a huge leap in performance by itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Indeed. They will end up being mid 11 second cars with bolt ons, and some freaks will go low 11s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really isn't any competition for a performance hatch/wagon with 4 doors awd and a manual. Also their limited production keeps resale high. WRX and STI are the only comparable vehicle that has better resale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybye Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 They definitely do cost a bit much for being a compact car. But I think the MK7 GTI will be running low 12's maybe break into the 11's with bolt ons and traction as well. Then you also have the A3 running faster times with a DSG. Unitronics A3 supposedly put down 385awhp with intake/exhaust/tune and Golf R turbo. 350awhp and mid to low 12's on the stock turbo. They told me the runs were done in December in Canada so they expect better. Here is their GTI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
