The VW Golf GTI TCR with its 290 PS & 370 NM is not the most powerful GTI ever built, but it is very likely that it is the sportiest of all previous GTIs street legal, He has completed the evolution of the seventh generation of the Golf and brings a lot of touring car technology from racing right on the road. Although the TCR is basically nothing else than a once again optimized GTI Clubsport, nice details such as a renewed lowering, a modified front brake system and a new roof spoiler make a difference anyway. For the MTM Motoren Technik GmbH but these changes were far too small. Especially in terms of performance, the tuner saw a lot of potential. Reason enough the EA888 four-cylinder (MKB DNU) of the 3.

And of course variant 4 needs next to one Chiptuning countless changes to the hardware. MTM optimizes the engine and transmission control unit and raises the torque. Top speed and transmission communication are also optimized. The faster paddle shifter reactions and the changed shift program are noticeable with each shift. On the engine, the turbochargers, which receive a reinforced hull group and an enlarged compressor and turbine wheel unit, and also become a modified front pipe with metal cat and OPF, including stainless steelexhaust system installed with modified standard rear silencer. In addition, a new high-pressure gasoline pump, various intake and exhaust gas-side improvements and a stronger DQ381 DSG clutch.

the TCR remains fully diagnostic capable
In return, the TCR remains fully diagnosable and the chip tuning software cannot be overwritten by a manufacturer update. And MTM can also do a lot of things visually with the Wolfsburg. For example, there are the well-known "bimoto" wheel sets in 18 or 19 inches and the MTM Nardo Edition is also available in these sizes for the TCR. With matching Spacers as well as a sentence thread springs The new Alus can then be aligned with millimeter precision in the wheel arches. With the MTM program for the GTI TCR the tuner provides for a performance leap above a BMW M3 / M4 and also a standard RS4 should probably not see land here in the approach.
