- VW GOLF GTI MK8 is the subject of today's testing. It's an Awesome CAR and Since there are no tunes for this platform, the only option currently is a tuning box. So find out if it actually works and makes any difference on the road

Thank you for 10K subs, you guys are AWESOME! MAny more of these to come as soon as the weather permits :)
Unitronic Stage 3 put this new MK8 GTI at 470whp with only $5K budget... SICKKKKKK
Awesome video again kept it up guys 👍
We will!
It goes to show that VW don't want their latest hot hatches tampered with and these guys have worked really hard to try and give us more in the meantime. I'm not sure the results are significant enough to warrant a purchase but it's certainly appreciated.
You can only be consistent with timing if you use launch control, I wonder why you try without it.
Suggestion, place one of those 10 cameras at the speedometer and show the full run, will help your videos massively.
Thank you for your time and I wish you guys great videos to come.
Mk6 R owner :)
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for this video, I'm excited to take delivery on my 22 GTI here in the USA soon and I appreciate these videos! Cheers guys
Our pleasure!
Your results with the Racechip are WAY different than what AutoTopNL got ! For the 100-200, they got 16.23s stock (very similar to your 15.9s) but with the Racechip on map 7 they got 12.8, a 3.43s gain, that's a MASSIVE difference compared to the 0.5s you gained on map 3...
I agree. 12 seconds gps consistent with my gti and setting 7.
What a car
Handy bit of kit that race chip and you could sell it on when you’re done with it
yes, it's a good bit of kit for plug and play
What was the 0-60 in mode 7?
slower than mode 3, hence we used the best figure which was setting 3
Interesting……stock quarter time for the new GTI MK8 is exactly the same as my first ever run at Santa Pod in my stock Edition 30 DSG….even down to the terminal speed. 14.32@101mph.
Interesting..
Pod is prepped surface this surface is not, on the same prepped santa pod the mk8 will do a much quicker time then the time it did here.
@@brucewayne2397 What BatMan said!
So my 2008 R32 is on par with a MK8 GTi?
That will be a 4 wheel.drive which helps massively with traction 0-60 and the 1/4 mile
Any run that isn't a dig you would get pulled on hard by this.
@@basslover352 for sure, would be good to see a long run.
it shaved off only 0.5s from 100 to 200?? GTI Clubsport with similar power as this tuned basic GTI makes it in 11.7s. I think this tuning box is not worth the money and we should wait for APR tune
Shaving off half a second on the 100-200 is still a good change with a tuning box. As we mentioned since there are no tunes for this car yet it's the best option we have.
I agree with Obi. 0.5 secs and only 1mph increase in trap speed on the 1/4 mile is pretty pants, sorry guys. Those sorts of gains probably equate to about 10bhp in the real world on this sort of platform/power.
The et gains on the 0-60 and 1/4 mile just suggest a better launch/start on that run. The 100-200 and trap speed show little power gains during this test.
I’d certainly wait for the flash tune if it were me.
@@awesomecars1 the best option you have? You should give the JB4 a go. It’s a much more complete tuning solution which interfaces with the OBD2 port for boost per gear reduction etc for better launch for fwd etc
Need that 2021 TROC R remap 😐
Yep, still waiting on alot of these engines to be able to be tuned.
Dude is always so grumpy
to be fair that day, Mark was heavily injured so doing this video was just a bonus :)
The Gulf GTI need extra power from factory in my opinion.That RaceChip is a waste of time from the results given.
The racechip not only shaves off time doing speed runs but helps with the way the car drives. Yes more power in the GTI from the factory would be more fun overall but this is what we have to work with :)
@@awesomecars1 What I mean is are those minimum gains worth £450 because that is how much the GTs RaceChip is selling for.For that price your better having a tune on the ECU
@@strikeeaglemodels1588 if and when a tune if available we'll be able to compare :) at the moment this is the best product for getting more power.
@@awesomecars1 How long does it normally take them to crack the code for a tune,Guessing it’s a few months ?
@@strikeeaglemodels1588 it just depends, with technology advancing it may take longer to crack.
That tuning box is waste of money. We need custom remap for mk8 and unlocked ECU.
We've gotten great results, there is no ECU tune available yet
@@awesomecars1 With ecu tune, results is always better. I think that ECU tune would not be available anymore for 8gti.
Run my Mk7 GTi against it for a laugh 😂👍
@Bry Zeer you just aren't very good/ got a shit garage/ running e85 gas. Delete as applicable.
Nice vid.but never buy a tuning box absolutely useless things.get a custom tune when available.i have a polo blue GT with custom tune on 99ron and I gain 45bhp
The GTI gained over 50HP :) with a racechip
@@awesomecars1 That may be so, but I bet it wasn't gained safely. By messing with the ECU inputs you are effectively removing safety parameters. Just look at Darkside Developments video testing all the different types of tuning boxes you can buy. They are all the same, overpriced and unsafe. Any garage that promotes the use of Tuning Boxes as an alternative to a custom tune loses my respect.
@@reeced5521 That video was a long time ago, tuning boxes have evolved since then. We;ve ran them on every one of our demo cars with no issues. We wouldn't recommend a product to customers without making sure it's safe first.
@@awesomecars1 They have a later video from last month that shows the results of a RaceChip and it was just as pitiful. Claimed 65bhp increase, actual increase was 13bhp. Maybe you should do a video showing the real world differences in power between standard and RaceChip, and then also show other readings to see if any gains made are safe.
@@reeced5521 We did a whole video on this too, just to make sure the product we are selling is safe which was repeatedly tested on our dyno. And can you please provide us some more information on the 13HP increase?
Lol race chips are overpriced for the little power you get from them
Combine it with other supporting mods , down pipe or full exhaust and intake and get more gains.
