    2012 Scirocco R

    Hi all,
    Can anyone confirm if a 2012 Scirocco R has the same engine as the Mk 6 Golf?

    I'm doing some research on getting an ECU flash but there is little to no information for the Scirocco & most threads have truck loads for the Golf R.

    Cheers

    Yes Mk6 Golf R and Scirocco R run the same engine in slightly different states of tune.

    If you’re looking at hardware (air intakes, divertrer valves, etc) bothwill fit the same. Main difference is in the exhaust and the fact Golf R is AWD.

    Thanks Tigger. What about the ecu? I came across a company called Integrated Engineering that offer a flash upgrade for the Golf R. Will that work?

    ECU should be the same also I think it’s a Med9 or 9.1 from memory.

    I'd go with whoever you can get local support. Not sure what options you have over there.

    Haven't done too extensive a search. So far in Brisbane, I've found APR & HP

    There’s a few options in Brisbane. Either the ones you mentioned or RD Technik or Tarmac/Spectune.

    I’ve got the RD Technik tune on my Scirocco and stage 1 on this was about others stage 2 files so they have some strong tunes for these engines.

    I've just had stage 1 tune done at Harding Performance (Coorparoo), very nice bunch. Have a chat with Jon about your options.
