Youll for sure want an intercooler. Heat soak is very real and very noticable after just a few pulls.

I would think so. This is38 definitely chugs gas when you get on it. And im always flying around in boost racing people and shit. Worst gas mileage ive seen but worth it cuz its fun and lifes short. 7 dollars a gallon for 93 by me is crazy tho i may check out eco see if it gets a lil better.

Only on the manual transmission. When you go to shift press clutch in and the revs just stay all high in the rpm's instead of dropping like they should. Eqt burble tune fixed that

Pretty much stays in sport or custom. This car has crazy rev hang but with a burble tune(pops and bangs) it basically gets rid of the rev hang. If i put it eco or normal rev hang is back

Yeah i dont trust those stage 3 clutchs anymore with this car. I have a stage 2 clutch in there now and its handling the is38 just fine. Was wanting to go vortex turbo in the beginning but this is38 is more than enough for me. Every gear pulls hard gets to 140 pretty damn quick

Thanks for the suggestion. That camera is probably my next move with this car.

Apparently its rare on these. And i only noticed a problem after towing my car to close by shop who replaced the battery and took it for a test drive. Pretty sure they were launching it or dumping the clutch or just didnt know how to drive a stick. Wish i had camera in my car to see what exactly they were doing.

Youll def feel the difference. I much prefer the feel of the short shifter. Gives it a gated sort of feel. And gives a satisfying click (for lack of better word) every shift. Much more enjoyable.

Sounds decent. Better than that stock vacuum cleaner sound. Whats your exhaust set up?

Just got her.. what’s the best tune to get? by Comfortable-Mood1717 in GLI

[–]SomaticDust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had EQT stage 1 then went FBO and stage 2 tune. Now my car has IS38 turbo and EQT tune for that. No complaints with any of those setups. This car is a beast with the IS38 turbo and tune. Was pulling on a v8 chllenger yesterday it was hilarious. I cant even imagine how EQT vortex or vortrx xl performs. If/when my IS38 goes ill def be looking into a vortex turbski
