Thank you for the insight I did know it can cause corrosion and build up but I didn’t know it could have that effect so thank you for the information and I appreciate it !

I do it has been awesome ! I just wish I lived closer to a pump so I could run it more frequently!

You can tune for E85, but then you can only pump E85. The flex fuel kit and tune allows you to pump 91-E85 without re-flashing.

You are correct if e85 is common near you you can just run their tune this is more tailored to those who don’t live near places with E85 ( like me ) but still would like to run it when they do come across it . There’s only one E85 pump within a 2 hour drive for me.

You will definitely have to let me know how they compare !

I haven’t noticed too much on the amount of pops but more so a change on when I can let go of the throttle and get it to pop. I don’t have to be all the way at 3,000 rpm for the pops to take place now they happen a bit sooner. Thank you for the support as well I do hope the videos have helped you as far as what’s been worth it !

It does still run perfectly fine on any blend , I was more so talking for the peak power side of things I should have specified! Thank you !

I will definitely say the higher reduction does take some getting used to it doesn’t always like to go straight into neutral sometimes it wants to just keep on going into gear

I have not yet I am working on that , I’ve been working with another company on a separate tune currently and haven’t been able to reflash 034 yet onto my wife’s car to do so, over all I love the tune but I also am really enjoying the Unitronic software on my 40th anniversary and I know they are having a sale right now !

I would agree with the manual over all being less than ideal , I have something on the way to hopefully change it for the better it’s a complete replacement unit for the stock shift box/ cable box

Yes exactly!

When I popped the stock shifter off yes , there is a way to lock it out as well so it can’t move

No I haven’t gotten check engine lights from either of my intakes !

​@octane_media I'm just wondering if this is gunna void the warranty?

@@chrispeveler1578 what intake is on that ? And ultimately I would say that comes down to your dealership and there techs most of the time they have to be able to prove how it affected it.

Thank you !

I've recently come across your CZcams channel and couldn't help but notice its potential for growth and impact.

Let's dive into strategies that could make your channel a sensation. Your content deserves it, and I'm here to help you reach that next level. When can we chat?

I haven’t tried it open and closed , but the leyo filter already isn’t closed all the way . It’s noticeable louder and yes it did come with the SAI filter

Awesome ! And I think mine took about a week not terribly long but not 2 day shipping either.

I’ll have to do a short on it ! It’s fairly loud but definitely no where near over bearing! I daily it with my 1 and a half year old it’s enough for her to say OO! On start up but not obnoxious.

I actually have two intake installs it’s a super easy process !

@@octane_media what kind of shift knob do you have?

@@chrispeveler1578 I have black Forrest industries Alcantara one!

I wasn’t handed anything my father in law has a shop that I’m lucky enough to get to use on occasion

I will do that next time so it’s more visible throughout the video thank you for the recommendation!

I did not swap over the o ring to the new unit IE told me to run their unit as is when I had talked to them . So far I have not had any issues with it!

Yes both cars are stage 1! And thank you I appreciate it , the install isn’t hard just time consuming haha !

My wheels are the culprit on mine it has been slowly pushing the fender out 🙃

The stage 2 and stage 3 software from Unitronic does !

That’s awesome ! Did you have to get an engine cover from the dealer or did you happen to get one with your car ? Both of our cars didn’t come with them.

I just bought my car 3 weeks ago (black SE with leather) and it came directly from the dealer. Slowly working on mods. I think bronze wheels are next. Will get it tuned after I hit 1000 miles to be safe. Not sure if I’d go with 034 or APR yet. What are your thoughts on those 2? Oh…and how did you get the R display??

@@hovan2yourjunk​​⁠I got the R display using the OBD11 tool it makes quick work of that kinda stuff . As far as those two companies I’ve only had experience with the 034 tune and unitronic tune . I haven’t had the pleasure of driving with APRs software yet !

@@octane_media Idk anything about that tool! I’m new to all this. I’ll look into it. Thanks

That’s ridiculous that they still have markup most of the dealers around here have calmed down and realized that people aren’t willing to pay the markup any more . That was the biggest reason I didn’t get an r was the 15k plus markup on those .

19 GLI autobahn for me from a 2016 mk6.5 tomorrow, I definitely prefer the sedans over the hatch being 6'4. love both but the GTI is typically more don't know why exactly

This is actually something I’m heavily interested in I’ve been reaching out to manufacturers about them I’ll let you know if I hear anything the only one I’m aware of directly marketed for the MK8 is ECS tunings

I believe they are 19x9.5

Thanks for the information.

I like my lowering springs a lot , I have DCC so I didn’t want to get rid of that with coilovers.

@@octane_media great 👍 🙂

They do have one for the mk8 the pictures I used in the video are from their website !

I had his set up for my MK7 and currently my MK8 and they’re exactly the same. Feels amazing.

They are the same unit , cross compatible

That’s definitely a good choice!

That’s awesome I hope you like it !

We definitely will be getting more mk8 videos I just am working on this car as well at the moment getting it ready for summer ! I have actually loved both of our GTI’s and we haven’t had any issues other than the steering wheel that was covered under warranty.

They all look like that

@@ZACH_95_ nope his has physical buttons, most dont

40th edition have buttons
