GolfGTiForum.co.uk 5th Jan 14 So having checked everything was as it should be i had another chat with Andrew in regards to the settings. The box arrived standard and i had obviously read the VRS review on this thread so all i wanted to do was was put it up to the settings as per the Shark performance thread. Andrew said its best to run it standard before i tinker with the settings. A little bit about my car history so you understand i have owned many different types of cars, some of which were very quick so have plenty to compare the GTI against (20+ cars in 13 years). So i fired up the car and held my breath…… no warning lights… result!! I drove it until oil was up to temp and headed to the lanes near my house that i been razzing round since i was 17! The roads were damp which obviously didnt help the test drive, the extra torque was evident straight away but what was nice is the car had no issues dealing with it. One of things i hated about my JCW Mini was the horrid torque steer! Third gear was good pre tuning box…. now its awesome! I gave it a good 15 min blast. The extra power isnt so evident from standing but very much is once up and running. Due to the fact i had to go to a kids party my test drive was cut slightly short and i wanted to take it down on the motorway. I am going to run on the standard map for a week and then go to +1 and see how it feels. The car feels like it can deal with more power/torque with ease but for me i want a balance of that and drivabilty whilst retaining some mpg’s!! I noticed the raspy exhaust note for the first time as well which ive ever heard on reviews of the GTI!! I did drive it later with the mrs in the car and didnt put my foot down (well apart from once and it pinned her in the seatshe was not so impressed) and the car felt no different when bimbling about and still did 30+mpg. This was the result of my test drive blast though
