Volkswagen
might be run by a bunch of cheating bastards, but there is no denying
those people are experts at making brilliant hot hatchbacks. Take the
Golf R VII, for instance. It’s a 2.0 liter family car with 300 PS
factory standard horsepower.
That is more than enough for a car like
this and perfectly satisfactory for having a good time behind the wheel.
But there are those who always want more, and for them Mcchip-DKR has
come up with a stage 3 upgrade package that increases the output of Golf
R to nearly 400 horsepower. And that’s still from a 2.0 liter!
In order to achieve that kind of oomph,
Mcchip goes to town on that TFSI engine, replacing the turbocharger with
a higher performance unit and installing a bespoke downpipe for the
sport exhaust system. Naturally, the car also gets a new engine
management software which is Mcchip’s main speciality.
The result of these changes is that this
blue Golf R now offers its driver 392 PS and 472 Nm of torque instead of
the standard 300 PS and 380 Nm of torque. That will undoubtedly have a
profound effect on the performance, although Mcchip has not tested it
yet.
