I ordered the stage 2 tune for my 2014 DSG GTI. I've got the downpipe and APR CIA.
I called IE yesterday and was told that, rather than recommended (like the website says) it is almost required to have the intercooler to prevent knocking and other issues.
That is the first I've ever heard you will get knocking and other issues without the intercooler. Most everything I've read says its not a huge issue, although the IC will help get the most power and keep the intake temps cooler more consistently. Not I'm stuck between tuning without the intercooler or returning the IE tune package.
