In 2009, the MK6 GTi was unveiled, featuring a completely revamped engine that surpassed its predecessor, the MK5, in both performance and innovation. Building upon the legacy of the MK5, the MK6 GTi took the reins and continued the trend of outstanding upgrades.
Before long, the MK6 GTi became synonymous with MRCtuning, captivating enthusiasts with its incredible response to tuning modifications. Like a bee drawn irresistibly to honey, these cars eagerly embraced the tuning process, unleashing their true potential on the road. The MK6 GTi quickly earned a reputation for being a tuning enthusiast’s dream, with each Stage 1 modification unlocking a whole new realm of driving excitement.
Moving on to Stage 2 demanded the addition of a Cold air intake and an Upgraded cooler, elevating the car’s power close to an impressive 215kw. This setup became a dream come true for tuners, offering a significant boost in performance and exhilaration for driving enthusiasts.
While Stage 2 provided remarkable gains, many owners decided to skip the intercooler upgrade and leaped directly to Stage 3 K04 tuning. The allure of Stage 3 was undeniable, promising even greater power and performance enhancements. Embracing the K04 turbocharger in Stage 3 offered the opportunity to unlock the true potential of the engine, propelling the MK6 GTi to new heights of power and driving excitement. With Stage 3, owners experienced an adrenaline-pumping ride, taking their passion for tuning to a whole new level.
The K04 MK6 GTi, much like its MK5 counterpart, experienced changes in the Fuel delivery system, eliminating the need for an upgraded HPFP. This bolt-on upgrade gained immense popularity in South Africa, thanks to its remarkable versatility in interchanging parts from the Audi S3 8P model. With the addition of the BorgWarner K04 and Colder running spark plugs, this car underwent a jaw-dropping transformation, becoming an absolute monster on the road.
The valuable insights gained from TCU tuning were quickly adapted to the latest software versions from the manufacturer. As a result, MRC tuning could customize launch control, achieve faster shifts, and fine-tune RPM limits and shift points, giving drivers the ultimate control and an optimized driving experience. These advancements took the already thrilling MK6 GTi to new heights of performance and exhilaration.
