still dont believe that with a reflash the mk7 will have 300hp as reported
by apr who like to lie about their number lol 300hp with a stock k03 such
bs so by those number a stage 2 mk7 will have about the same power as a mk6
with a k04 lol dont see that at all
Few questions. What wheels are those, I want them.
Will you be making videos soon showing the DQ250 TCU upgrade?
and is that gonna be on sale when you have summer sale?
+fuktheserbsAs someone who actually owns a MK7 GTI with the APR tune, and had traded in my Jetta GLI 1.8T w/ a K04 and all the goodies on it....I can say without any doubt that my GTI is WAYYYYYYYY faster than my GLI ever was. No comparison, night and day difference. Go drive one, you'll believe it. The car feels effortless.
+APR, LLC. what do you mean you are not saying when clearly you guys stated that with just a stage 1 the mk7 will have 300hp if not more and over 300 torque im just assuming with a stage 2 it will be like a k04 on a mk6 which if why i dont buy that at all getting over 100hp on a stock turbo
+APR, LLC. okay so you are saying that a stage 2 gti will have about the same power as a k04 mk6 just dont see how that is when the k04 is a bigger turbo you are saying that with a stock turbo alone it will gain over 100hp if not more and what is it suppose to have 400 torque as well lol its not a freaking golf r with a k04 and by that logic it will have more than a golf with a stage 2 k04
+fuktheserbs That's fine you don't believe us but do a little homework. Even the silly tuning boxes alone get around 300 HP. And, just an FYI, It's not a K03 turbo. The MK6 didn't even have a K03 turbo. Borg warner hasn't made turbos for the EA888's since they were released in 2008.
+Charlie Sipple still dont believe that a stage 1 will give 300hp or over that as apr claims lol its still a k03 turbo when on stage 1 mk6 only gain 50hp just dont see how 100hp gain with a stage 1
Most are guessing very close to 300hp (up from 210hp stock)When Arin of APR was asked if Stage 1 would be about 265hp he replied..... " Hahaha, does way more than that to the wheels! : ) : ) "More info here -> //forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?6992695-ECU-Flashed!-Ready-for-a-road-trip

MotorWeek | Quick Spin: 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI
After 40 years and seven generations on, the latest Volkswagen Golf is all-new and finally here. And it's a GTI! Even better...
Hey I hate to be one of those anal retentive car guys that scrutinizes
every detail ad nauseam, but one of your statements in this video is
wrong. The Ford Focus ST has an electronically controlled LSD, is front
wheel drive, and has been on sale in the market in the U.S. since 2013.
(And I do believe the Focus was first into the market with this feature in
Europe as well.)
+Andrew Price Yes thats why Ford calls is ETVC or el diff rather than M-LSD, in reality though Focus s e diff not at all good compared to a proper LSD, Focus has a major con due to its e diff as well, brake FadeStill the ST is 1 of best fun cars 2 drive, nobody will be expecting a drift like the 1 Focus can do with the ST, its almost like the Focus ST can oversteer but its slow compared to competition]I think Ford is relasing ther new ST 2morrow and that 1 has a twin scroll turbo and new gear ratios and better steering suspension and better e diff as well, the ST might get all 4 wheels disk brakes as well, this could make ST a double face, it can have fun but do fast laps as well if 1 wants it 2, just like the Fiesta ST, its a way better car than Focus ST, so Ford is tryn to incorporate all the goodies of Fiesta ST nto Focus ST as well
+Andrew Price yup. Ford is claiming that a completely reactive system is as good as an LSD....NOPE! The car is fun? yes. Would it be faster with a proper LSD? Oh yes.
+jandj Godwin I hate to admit it, but you are right. The RS uses a completely different system, and for the ST Ford employed a brake based system that they are referring to as a LSD, when in reality it is just a more advanced stability control system. Most automotive blogs seem to be just reading off the Ford supplied cue cards, and so it was not until I checked car and driver that I saw what you were talking about. So that is a good call on your part.However, it does not change the fact that Golf is not the first front wheel drive to have a limited slip-differential in the US. Some versions of the Maxima had it as well as some other Nissans like the SE-R spec Sentra. However, as I am guessing those LSD's were purely mechanical in design. So in regards to this particular discussion I guess it all depends on how you choose to define the term "electronic slip-differential"; as technically the Focus ST's system could qualify as that since it is an electronic system that is designed to manage the distribution of torque to the wheels. Sure it does not use a mechanical apparatus specifically dedicated to that task, but that term does not in my view require such a device; as it is implying that the amount of torque applied to each wheel is electronically controlled in some way, as opposed to being managed through some sort of gear based apparatus. So perhaps both are right. At this level of minutia everything starts to get hazy lol.
+Andrew Price Hey u are mistaken bro, I didnt understand wht edmunds meant with those statement, bu I am sure of 1 thing Focus ST doesnt have a Mechanical Slip diff(aka LSD), it uses brakes to simulate a LSD by braking inside wheel which inturn makes the outside wheel have more torque pushing the car into the cornerThe Gti on the other hand has a proper torque converter differential axle between its font tires, its not an active differential in some models but if we opt the performance pack its an active differential where the cars engine power as well as brakes are used to steer car out of a cornerSo mechanically speaking the GTi is a much more advanced package and has more solid hardware inside to control torque to each wheels, in simple terms the GTi can lap faster without much understeer,torque steer, and with more traction and precisionST is a raw machine unlike GTi which is a precise tool
+jandj Godwin Ummm... I am not sure if you are saying it does not have a LSD at all, or if you are in some way trying to state that the Focus ST has a differential that is not mechanical in some way: so I will address both.From Edmunds.com: "The 2013 Ford Focus ST is a performance-oriented version of the Focus four-door hatchback. There is no sedan version.Standard equipment includes 18-inch alloy wheels, performance summer tires, performance brakes, an electronically controlled limited-slip front differential..."So it does have an LSD based on that and every other review I have seen. As for the mechanism it uses to control the application of torque this is a pretty in depth article on the subject that states, "The Quaife is an active torque-biasing differential and relies on helical planetary gears for its traction duty. A sun gear on each drive shaft pairs with a set of six helical planet gears in the input hub to distribute torque through the mechanism.As one wheel slips, it spins faster, and the torque differential across the two sets of gears increases, progressively locking the set that's transferring the most torque, slowing its speed and sending more power to the wheel with more grip. While it may sound complex, in truth it is a simple, durable and cost-effective mechanical solution."Now to be fair I don't know much about differences in differential design, but based on my understanding of what a mechanical LSD is: the Focus ST's qualifies. And I am not saying that because I am a Ford Fan or anything. In fact I own two Volkswagen TDI's. I just felt MotorTrend's statement was incorrect, and based on what I have read that still seems to be the case.Articles cited://www.edmunds.com/ford/focus-st/2013/?style=101426504#overview-pod-anchor//www.motorauthority.com/news/1032432_in-depth-fords-revoknuckle-suspension-and-quaife-lsd-for-the-focus-rs (I know this is more focused on the RS, but I do believe similar setups are used on both it and the ST.)
The ST has no mechanical slip diff, the GTi has 1 but controlled electronically unlike in Renault Megane,Focus SR etc where the LSD hs inputs based on clutch,brake,steering connected by wiresIn the electronically controlled MSD of GTi the parameters to computer are clutch ,brake,speed sensors etc, so its technically faster and less rewarding for driver
It is an electronically controlled LSD. However, you can't disable any of its features when you are on the track; which is its primary drawback if you are really wanting to try and push the car to its limits.
