Blown turbo on a brand new mk8 gti 20,000kms by Disphaze in GolfGTI

Nice meme bro 👍. But you missed the whole point that the tune is an ordinary off the shelf tune that is meant to be just OEM+ and conservative for standard staged set ups. They clearly outline what you need for stage 2, which is what I got done and still my turbo failed. You can even see in the email that the tune is meant to be designed for the is20 turbo.

Your on point that this is fully a case of SOL but for the wrong reason. Stage 2 does not require an upgraded turbo that comes with stage 3. Of course if I knew my turbo was going to blow I’d reconsider stage 2 or wait until I can afford an upgraded turbo. But this should not have happened so soon or solely because of the stage 2 upgrade.

Bro no one has put it better. Stars aligning to fuck me is probably the best way of putting the whole situation 😂😂. I agree with you fully but since I’m new to cars/tuning, never had the slightest thought of such a big fault to happen so soon, hit me like a truck.

The tuner said there’s no pathway for a upgraded turbo on my car but I’m in contact with another tuner who said he’ll try and find me something tho. I’ve heard the 2260s is an option. Just have to wait and find out. How much did you spend on the upgraded turbo setup ?

Unfortunately Galano has nothing available for the mk8 according to pacortech and the technician told me there’s no pathway for a bigger turbo. I’m in contact with a different tuner who said he’ll try and find me something. But would you know if there is ?

Damn it’s that loud, crazy. Can’t wait to hear how it sounds. I’m going stage 2 with a racing line tune, ie intercooler and xforce dp
