gearing / weight / drag coefficient / S-tronic settings ???I understand that the launch control has been improved, but from what I can see also the 100-200 time is better on the 8Y, despite the same horsepower as 8V.
Are the claimed power/torque underrated, or something?

Area under the curve better vs before?

@8YARWY will know, is it a better / different turbo Sean?

A lot of people seem too focused on the max, peak. or hp bragging rights, the tune I had on the Golf R basically added 33 hp (plus or minus a few hp) right across the rpm range from 3000rpm upwards, the increase in the mid range was far more useful and noticeable than the increase at the top end
The additional 33 hp at 6800rpm would be around a 10% increase.
The additional 33 hp at 3500rpm would be around a 16.5% increase
PS: The added 33hp was on actual values, they tested the Golf R at 328hp, so 328+33hp as the final figure, some companies would use the VW 306hp figure and compare their new figure to that making the 33hp increase a 55hp increase
Reviewed the answers,
it would be really interesting to see the difference on same level of upgrades when ECU will finally be available for tune.
For instance, 8V facelift could casually run 100-200 in low 7 secs on st2. What's the upgrade to this discipline that can bring 8y?

Has anyone found out if the rods in the 8Y are stronger than the 8V?I believe many of them are limited to under 700Nm to keep the rods in the block

So looks like same part number but new revision for 2020 onwards. So likely the same in ours as later 8V FL cars I presume.8Y DNWC

I dont think I would want to go anywhere close to what people believe is the torque limit with a remap, all it needs is a little wheelspin and a torque spike and it's game over, we learned the hard way using Porsche 993 rods in our 993 GT2 race car followed by 964 rods after the first engine let go, RS Tuning in de said they are up to it, I stripped the motor to fit Carillo rods and all 3 RH side rods where slightly bent, that was a 3.6 motor doing 555hp (through 24.5 mm restrictors) in British GT (theres a reason why only the 3 RH side rods were bent )Same chocolate jobbies my 8V was capped at just shy of 700nm.
Although careful mapping is key really, I’ve countless cars with big torque spikes and the devils work of rolling anti-lag being used, I used that once on my 8V, all I’ll say is it can’t be good for any components in the engine.

I know one bank on the flat 6s always gets a harder time due to rotation and gravity but was there any other reason?theres a reason why only the 3 RH side rods were bent
I like the Revo map because it has less top end figures and more area under the graph (which is what they seem to have done to the 8Y) but it is missing a couple of things for me.Revo’s stage 1 on the 8v was capped just under 600 and that felt plenty me, reliable 0-60s I’m the 3.2s with a best of 3.08.
Porsche use the same pistons for the left and right side in a lot of applications, they did for their 993 GT2 race car, but some like early 3.0 Turbo have left and right pistons.I know one bank on the flat 6s always gets a harder time due to rotation and gravity but was there any other reason?

Problem is there does not seem to be anyone good at smooth OEM 'area under the graph' maps for the 8v, they are all so used to people wanting willy-waving dyno figures for bragging rights on instafacetube they don't know how to do anything else.
So the car stays standard, but there's plenty of time now as I won't be getting an 8Y.
I know you always then got the trade offs with people saying it’s off the shelf but on the flip side the R&D that goes into their maps seems to be second to none.
