I’ve been neglecting my GTI lately. Since I’ve mainly been driving demo vehicles from work, the VW hasn’t had a good detail for a while. I felt kind of bad with the amount of bugs left on the front end, which I usually like taking care of right away. But tonight I finally gave it a good, semi-quick detail.
Soon it will get a winter prep detail and polish, but that will have to wait for a weekend with some more daylight.
In other GTI news, I finally got a tune for the car and it’s freaking awesome! It’s crazy how much power is left on the table from the factory. Originally I was intending to just do a simple APR tune, however, most of the MK7 community highly recommends Equilibrium Tuning through a Cobb Accessport. So that’s what I went with. Around 60 more HP and 90 TQ on 93 octane. Super smooth power but pulls very hard.
The 55 + acceleration is so much better now. Topping up around 29 PSI of boost, this thing hits triple digits much quicker! I wish I did this earlier in the year as winter tires will be on before long. Sadface. Anyways, I still love this car every time I drive it and that’s all you can ask for.
