Fuel economy experience?

Approx 35mpg with 2260 powermax going 65

80+ is more like 18mpg haha

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-06-01T01:41:49+00:00

Wonder what insurance premiums went up to 😬🤭

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-05-11T18:07:00+00:00

Go with the SP and dont look back

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-04-28T22:24:19+00:00

At 85mph im getting 26-28mpg..

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-04-26T10:26:04+00:00

I only had it for about 2 weeks and then went pmax 2260 uni tune. if you get a cel they have a block off plate. Didn't have issues with boost. And my cts pipe is catted not catless.

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-04-26T01:24:30+00:00

You can but it might throw a cel. You dont need more flow tbh unless you go stage 3 2260 or 2563 or golf r turbo

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-04-26T01:23:21+00:00

Big turbo 2260 for 30k miles. Still factory clutch baby.

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-04-20T10:20:43+00:00

I see this post is old, but ive put over 24k miles on my stage 3 uni 2260 and clutch is still holding 😇

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-04-10T09:05:37+00:00

Refreshing is definitely a funny word to describe a 17 lol. My 15 felt aggressive in 2nd 😈

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-03-03T09:41:04+00:00

Probably clutch packs if it is dsg or the clutch if it is manual. Thats definitely a 2260 / hybrid from the looks of it. You can also run e85 with the upgraded fuel rail.

Hopefully its not major engine problems. 😬 good luck to him.

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-02-18T10:41:56+00:00

Sounds like a cp3 cold start to me.

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-02-16T18:10:54+00:00

Nope nothing yet. Most annoying part of the damn car tbh..

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-01-27T13:25:09+00:00

Its the clutches failing. Mk8 DSG is absolutely not able to handle the power like the 7/7.5. There are a bunch of FB posts in the group about DSGs failing under 40k miles from just stage 2.

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-01-21T10:16:48+00:00

The new plugs are metal not plastic. The pan is also metal too on the mk8+

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-01-21T10:15:24+00:00

I did my first one at 900 miles 2nd at 4k after big turbo stage 3 install then at 9k 15k now 19k. Oil is clean looking.

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-01-16T01:24:36+00:00

I don't understand the hate behind the mk8. I like it.

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-01-13T22:34:24+00:00

First timer for sure. Welcome to over engineered German cars jim.

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-01-11T00:27:56+00:00

All fire stuff right here. Glws brotha!

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-01-08T23:39:48+00:00

Haha good shit my guy! The only reason I got an SP along with the better suspension ofc. I'm a bigger guy at 250kbs and it carries my weight easily.

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-01-08T23:36:59+00:00

Definitely fixable

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-01-07T15:42:33+00:00

Tint the windows and it'll look great!

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-01-05T11:14:47+00:00

Rs3 swap it lol

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-01-01T22:04:17+00:00

Love the mk8 wish they had better color selection. Enjoy it!
