1 week after my stage 1 apr install the engine misfired and now it shudders when I hit the gas. I'm bumming hard be this GTI is brand new to me. I haven't pulled the codes yet bc I needed to leave my new whip at home to fly to LA. Please help me!?!

Will changing the coils and plugs help?

Probably a coil pack or two that went bad. Pick up some R8 coils, should have them on a tuned car anyway.

Likely blown coil pack. Most people (including myself) who have had this issue switched to the R8 coil packs to remedy this issue. Good luck.
