Eurodyne has been in the game for a while. I have not seen much about them on the forum since I joined but they have solid looking base files. Once you buy the tuning suite you get all the base files up to stage 3 which is nice. APR has a high torque file. My Unitronic tune is solid. You could get a custom Stratified tune with a COBB Accessport.
Stage 2 is anywhere from 240-260HP so that sounds about right.
Do you have a GFB DV+? I'd do some logging before dropping money on another tune but that's me.
You in central NJ? You can compare your car to mine if you want to come toward DE.

Yup I’m in north jersey I have stock latest revision diverter valve the tune I have doesn’t require changing plugs or coils I’d be down to compare tunes I’ve heard people going stage 2 on these cars and needing a clutch my tune makes me feel as if my stock clutch would last forever it really shines more on the top end than anything besides that it’s kind boring are u saying I should skip the eurodyne and just go ko4? My buddy’s mk7 with uni stage one feels faster than my full bolt on stage 2 mk6
My buddy’s r32 also feels faster it’s pretty disappointing considering stage 2 1.8ts should be mk4 r32s and these cars should make more power than 1.8ts

Yeah stage 2 should slip the stock clutch but if your tuner kept it conservative I can see it not doing that. Sounds like they also moved the power band toward the top of RPM range which might not be ideal. My car is most enjoyable in the mid range which I like.
Feels faster doesn't mean it is. My wifes 1.4T Jetta feels fast because all the torque kicks in at like 1k RPM. Around town it's great but as soon as it ring it out it has nothing above 4k RPM.
I would expect a stage 2 MK6 to be able to keep up with a Stage 1 MK7 if you guys ran side by side. Stage 2 is surprisingly quick from 30-90 but falls on it's face above 90MPH.
I'm saying if you get Eurodyne then you will have all the base files from stage 1 to 3 for the cost of the tuning suite which is $800. So if you go K04 you won't need to pay for another tune just flash the Eurodyne K04 base file. If you upgrade from K04 you can go stage 3 without having to buy software.
So for Unitronic I had to pay $150 for the cable. I got stage 1+ software on sale for $600. Stage 2 upgrade was $50. When I go K04 it will be $150 to upgrade software so I'll be $950 in Unitronic software/hardware when it's all said and done going through all the stages.

Oh, I don't know anything about credits. I'm just going of what it says on their website. $800 for the Maestro Tuning Suite. This includes base files for stage 1,2, k04 and 3. Stage 2 they claim is 288HP and 345 ft/lbs.

I have the maestro suite. When I flashed my ECU I only had the choice of Stage 1,2 and K04 91 octane base files.(maybe just my ecu code?) If you're going to stay stage 2 it's prob not worth it to get maestro although I've had good results with the base files and currently have a custom Stage 2 file. If you're eventually going K04 too then it might be a good buy.
How many credits is needed for a stage 2 flash without maestro I bought my cable second hand so I think I need all 8
