- Today we installed a Racingline Power Control Module (PCM) on our MK8 GTI! This is a Plug and play install that adds Horsepower and Torque, with the benefit of being easily removable if you wanna go back to stock! We dynoed before and after to see the real-world results of this piggyback. We also show you how to install it!

Paul’s videos are not only funny, but they give the VW community honest reviews for aftermarket products.
So honest and hilarious 😂👌
Paul and this channel are a key part of why I bought my GTI MK8. Thanks for being the best VW/ Audi influencer on the internet. 😄
The DAP crew always showing up and bringing us a slew of options no matter our power goals! Thanks Again!
Always a pleasure watching these videos 😆 I like the 'install' the way it doubles as a battery hold down. Super creative and smart. 👍
Seems like a great option for more power. And nice to see they spent time on design/mount so that it does not need to be tucked away like a JB4. Great video!
Really good gains for a piggyback! The MK8 GTI & R are starting to grow on me more and more
I would love to see MORE videos on this channel about the mk8. Always funny, entertaining and useful
I've had it for awhile with a DSG car and its very interesting. The biggest difference you'll see is during the half mile i got a few more MPH and about a second quicker. 1/4 mile doesn't show much of a gain but still is quicker than stock. I think it would be alot quicker if it didn't somehow mess with the way that the DSG shifts.. above gear 3 it shifts significantly slower then it does without it, i've tested this is many surfaces and weather etc and the only way to kind of get around it is to shift manually earlier then you'd really want to.. which in turn just makes you about just as slow lol. It's a neat box though and they promise to give a free stage 1 tune if you buy it, which alone should be worth the purchase! (1/2 mile and 1/4 mile vids on my channel for anyone wonderin)
I have Been running Racingline Stage 1 Tune ECU and Beta TCU on my 8y S3 for 2 days now, It's night and day compared to stock in the power department, and if you don't squeeze the throttle it's practically like stock. I think you will be more than happy when they released the final version.
@@Dubonfire love to hear that! I might hop on the beta program too! How’s launch control after the tune? Does it slip the clutches as much as stock? Really need to get my 60ft down
@@BryceJordanProductions Check you ista DM
I’m running Uni S1+ on my R and it has a large delay as well at certain shift points which kinda stinks, but it just made me that much more excited for TCU tuning
@@junobd yeah I think the TCU sees a larger torque value over stock so it shifts slow to not be so hard on its self (or something along those lines)
I like how you explained the whole warranty void problem Paul ! Good job 👍🏼
Great sense of humor, along with exceptional technical knowledge.
Thank you for this video, man!
Excellent content as standard from this channel 😄 These videos have provided me with many helpful tips and how-to's, always my go to before any big job or upgrade on my Golf!
Paul, another great video. Always informative and appreciated for the MK8 community as still relatively new platform.
The go-to channel for all things Golf ...nice results
Great review of what looks like a solid product. Love the mounting bracket they came up with.
You’re literally one of the only ones on CZcams going so in-depth on the mk8 🙌🏽😂 I literally try to learn from you because I have mine and I want to do mods haha
Paul your vids are always great and informative, glad you keep up with latest mods.
Easy install for great power increment. Love it.
Hey Guys thanks for all the hard work you do for the community! Love all your videos!
never before have I been so entertained watching someone plug something in.
So far always very good quality video. I have my gti for 8k miles now it’s just so much fun
Not many channels does the things you guys do, keep it up! Much support from Singapore!
Thanks for all of the videos you make Paul! Would love to have one of these for my Mk8 Golf R.
Last week I installed the Holy Shift kit on my MK7 GTI. Thank you guys for putting this kit out 👍 Don't really need the MK8 piggyback so choose another comment to win
Thanks for the purchase. We appreciate it very much
Thank you for this (and all of your other content!) Shopping for my 2023 SE
I don’t always comment on CZcams videos, but when I do it’s for a Racingline and Shopdap give away. Thank you for gracing us all with these beautiful products!
Pretty cool!
I like How it actually is designed to have amounting location! Over the JB4…….stuff it somewhere design!
Also looks good! Thanks for the great videos guys!
Can’t wait to pick up my MK8 soon!
Great video as always, love the Mk8 content! Keep it coming.
I was pretty impressed with the numbers gain. I would like to try this myself :-) And nice video as always!
Always enjoy all of your videos.
This module looks awesome. I remember when racingline announced the development of this on their Instagram, and now it’s here. It’s nice to have a piggyback option from a brand dedicated to mqb.
These are great videos. I recently figured out this place is near my house. I talked to Logan and he told me a lot about this company and me and my friends that came to visit love it. We are planning to buy from you guys. Videos are so funny too.
That’s awesome! Love the cable management aspect of this little gremlin. Merry Boostmas up there!
Enjoyed the video, love the content. Watching from Canada
Quality work as always Paulie!
Another great video/review as always!
Nice clean looking install. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for what you're doing for VAG community.
Looks like an awesome mod. I'd love to get my hands onto one of these and liven up my gti even more.
Very informative, with a DAP of humor..thanks again
Super cool meeting you and Charles in Maggie Valley! See you in Helen in the spring!
Thank you again Paul for another informative video. This looks a bit easier than the JB4 as you don't have to go through the firewall. Overall I think I like this better as the removal would seem to be easier if you needed service.
Installed this and the club sport muffler at my shop today, much more responsive, very happy.
Really nice! Thanks for all the informative videos
you've done so far! Would be great to win that module for sure!
Another great option! Keep up the great work 🤘
Very impressive and I’d be overjoyed to have one for my VW
This would be a great Christmas gift to win!
Solid video. MK8 platform is looking really promising.
Great video! I love the fact that this has a mount
Nice stuff, would love one. Thanks for the video!
This would be a great birthday gift 😍
Cool to see racingline making those too. IMO they make the best hardware already for Mqb cars.
Nice module! Was looking for this or maybe a JB4 for my 2023 gti! Would love to get one for sure :) Great video as always !!
Love your videos, very entertaining and informative!
videos are always entertaining 😂
Totally Wouldn’t mind getting my hands on of these to test out on the track. 😅
I like when Paul just throws things around in the shop.
Had the jb4 in my 7.5 and it was awesome. Need to try this out for my 8.
Great Stuff as always Paul!
Interesting I’m the difference, great work again with the install
Always a great video, 👍
I’m commenting here because Paul told me too. BTW, thanks for the Clubsport exhaust video!
These videos are very helpful very clear love the videos 👍🏼
just got my mk8 this would be a great addition!!
Great video! Gain are not bad too! Debating on a piggybag or a tune once my warranty will be done lol! But maybe this module will do the job for now just for the little more oooummpphh ! Thanks for the contest!
Awesome channel, helpful, great detail to everything amazing thanks!
This would be a good early Christmas present for me
Best MK8 content by far.
Nice clean install.
It looks like a much cleaner install versus the jb4. Also not having to pay extra to get Bluetooth connectivity and the app to control it is nice too. Although that’s because you can’t change maps but they do offer you a free upgrade to their oem+ calibration when it’s available so that’s nice
Shop DAP is the bees knees, sure would love one of those go fast boxes for my MK8
Ohhh the mounting is so cleannnnn. Would love to have one for my red GTI
I wanna win one! I'm a first time GTI owner and have learned so much about my 2022 mk8 GTI from this great channel! Thanx again.
Never tried one of these would be nice to have. Great video 🔥
Love the videos paul !
I was looking into this unit instead of the JB4. Thanks for the information.
Very impressive. I need one!
Ohhhh shiat! mk8 Canadian owner here! im sure people want to see how this would do in the snow :)
“Mommy, Daddy, Baby” 🤣🤣. Love your work! Would love to see what this can do for my MK8R! As always, thanks for your great content!
Would be nice Christmas gift to me, great video
Great video as always! Would love to have one for my MK8
I'm considering this instead of the Cobb route. Great video.
Nice video! Might get one of these for my car in the future :D
Just got a MK8! I’d love one 🤘🏼
That piggyback would be awesome to have! Putting on a set of H & R sway bars and new tires on my mk8 this winter so more power would go great lol
This message was submitted on Dec 12 2022 😂, keep up the good contents on Mk8
Enjoying the MK8 content
How can he be so funny yet so serious!😄
Love the channel!
Just to give you the heads up for you or others wanting to enhance the power output of the car when it is in the factory warranty period.
For some years now the factory can check to see if the car has been enhanced for power output within 30 seconds of connecting to the factory server when the car is plugged in during routine servicing. Also any software updates required to fix a problem released by the factory will not be installed by the dealer as it may brick the ecu which will not be covered by warranty or by the tuning company, the cost will stay with the customer. Once a vehicle is identified as having OR HAD its power increased, has a
marker placed in the warranty field which can’t be removed even when you put it back to standard.
Any major expense to do with the driveline could be rejected if the marker is in place.
Due to the factory unfairly paying out over the years for failed engines, turbos, front and final drive units of modifiéd cars they came up with a solution to identify modified ecus either by flashing or piggy back type boxes.
All drivetrain warranty claims have to be accompanied by a test run in ODIS which downloads all ecu info to the factory server further enhancing their ability to build a case for refusal to pay out.
Don’t want to spoil your fun, just be aware of the consequences and don’t expect them to pay out if it grenades, which could have happened even without the power increase.
As long as you are aware of this info, you can do what you like.
a friend also has a pomelo gti and would probably love your channel
Can't wait to get my Mk8 when i graduate this May. I'd love to have the piggyback to put on my golf :)
Paul, awesome video once again. The Racingline system seems much easier to use than the JB4 system. No menus or profiles to mess with, which is a plus for me. Also, it looks a lot better in MHO. But the price still's kinda high for me, I was hoping it would come down when the ECU tunes started to hit the market. No luck there, though. So, fingers crossed that you'll pick my comment for the contest.
Been eyeballing this! Sure would love one on my car 😉
Nice install. Fingers crossed...
I had two Pickbacks. Bluespark. They work but you just don't get as much out of them as you would from a decent APR remap. The pickybacks I had also went a little iffy after some months with flat spots and sporadic hesitations. Needless to say I ripped the thing off and went fora proper remap tune. APR was the best performer adding a good 30% across the board on performance knocking off 1 second from 0 to 100km run.
Love the videos as always! Would love this for mine
For a 10% power increase, I would simply opt for a Throttle Booster and get the power delivery better for a 1/3 of the cost of this PCM.
Paul, you make your videos fun to watch 👍
+40hp and get a tune and the end? What’s not to like?
Can't wait to see comparison to a real tune
Love your shi!!...so funny and always makes look forward to my next fix.... upgrades....tunes....ect...
Great video. Love the way it mounts compared to the JB4.
