VW Golf VII Variant (MK7) as "Project Habu"!

This tuned one VW Golf R Variant (MK7) we don't want to withhold it from you. It is the vehicle of Paddy McGrath, who regularly for that Speed ​​Hunters Magazine writes. A car that as Daily driver is used, but can also be beaten at any time on the race track. And the engine in particular has a lot to offer. Originally with one APR Stage 2 software (99 RON fuel) because this fuel is not available at the gas station in Ireland, there was one Stage 2 software from 034 Motorsport. It also worked with 91 US octane fuel (comparable to our 95RON) and was previously installed. The engine in the Golf, which, by the way, goes by the name of "Project Habu", performed impressively 355 PS & 501 Nm torque. But now the engine control unit was at it again. A renewed software change stood at. In the form of a set-up that works on the factory engine control unit and requires no additional hardware. And the software can even be changed while driving. From an almost standard set-up, you can reach peak performance at the touch of a button.
