Fuel Requirements:

Each map lists the minimum required octane. A higher octane fuel can be used safely on a map designed for lower octane. DO NOT use maps designed for higher octane with lower octane fuels. Top Tier gasoline should be used where available.

Maps designated with "

93

91 OCT or 95 RON " are for use with

93

91 and

94

92 octane/95 RON fuel or better.
Maps designated with "

91

93 OCT or 98 RON" are for use with

91 and 92 octane

93 octane/98 RON fuel or better.
- 94 octane with 0% Ethanol should run the ACN91 Map.

Note

Running 0% Ethanol Fuels

These maps are designed for E10 fuel (fuel with 10% ethanol content). For those who only have access to E0 fuel (fuel with 0% ethanol) it is recommended to use the "91" and "ACN91" octane

version

versions of the maps and datalog the car to ensure your fuel is performing to the necessary level. This is especially important for those using Canadian 94 octane E0 fuel.

If you are unfamiliar with how to datalog using the Accessport or what to look for, you can find a guide on our website here.

If knock or detonation is present even when using the appropriate fuel, try reflashing a map that is intended for a lower octane fuel.

*Peak gains are measured as the difference between the highest points of the two plots.

*Largest gains are measured as the largest gain at any single point between the two plots.

Results may vary. Power as tested on 2016 Golf R Manual using these identical calibrations. Generally speaking, the 91 octane calibration has a richer fuel curve and a less aggressive ignition advance map to help compensate for 91 octane fuel and/or less than ideal atmospheric conditions. The map designed for 93 octane is the most aggressive. The MK7 is relatively sensitive to charge air temperature and as such has dedicated tables to deal with charge air increases. It is important to consider final timing when analyzing power output.

*Not intended for aggressive driving*

High Altitude:

A quick note for those of you that live at higher altitudes: it is common for turbocharged cars at higher altitudes to run less boost pressure due to lower air pressure and air density. Your turbocharger has to work harder to compress a less dense air mass compared to the same turbocharger at sea level. This must be factored in when determining if your turbocharger is running the proper amount of boost pressure and not being pushed beyond its efficiency range.
Example: If you live in Denver at 5280 ft. and are trying to run a peak boost pressure of 15 psi, your turbocharger has to work the equivalent of making ~17.5 psi at sea level.
There are barometric compensations within the factory ECU that lower boost targets as you climb in altitude in an effort to keep the turbocharger in its optimal range. The COBB performance maps utilize these compensations and therefore, it is perfectly normal for the final boost / load value to be lower than what is listed for your map.

Revision Notes:

Note

OTS maps with LC, FFS and TC adjustments available on the Accessport:

The values in the adjustments menu on the AP are temporary and will not persist after an extended key off time (apporx. 5-30 minutes). This is normal and the default values will be loaded the next time the feature is used.

Closing Warnings and Precautions:

Use of inappropriate calibration/modification combinations will promote engine damage.
Top Tier gasoline should be used where available. Use of lower quality fuels can result in catastrophic engine damage.
