The MK7.5 Saga: It's Turbo Time!!
Greetings BMPers! I know I am a little behind on updating the build. We've been fairly busy here with Black Friday and Holiday sales going on, and now that we are doing installations here, there are lots of cool cars coming in and out of the shop. My ultimate goal with this car was to go Stage 2 + IS38. I needed a downpipe and an IS38 turbo before we could upgrade the tune.

No One Enjoys Taking An 'L'
Greetings BMPers! If you follow my Instagram, you already know that I recently had some issues with my clutch. When we loaded the IE Stage 1 Tune, we chose the low torque file since I still had a stock clutch. The GTI had 20k miles on it when I bought it, so it wasn't a new clutch.

The MK7.5 Saga: Stage 1 Tuning
Well, that escalated quickly. On Day 3 of ownership we loaded a Stage 1 Tune from Integrated Engineering. Since I have a 6-speed and not a DSG, we loaded the low torque Stage 1 93 octane tune since I haven't upgraded my clutch at this time.
The MK7.5 Saga: First Mods
Well that didn't take long. The car arrived and the next day we were already installing parts on it. I don't like keeping a vehicle stock for long. Stock is boring.
First, we had to make it official by throwing on a BMP Tuning banner.
