I am very much new to owning any sort of "performance" vehicle so other than watching videos, shows, forums, etc. I am lacking the experience/time it takes to understand the sounds and feels.
I have a 2014 GTI w/DSG and I pre-maturely got the 93 octane APR stage 1 tune before buying/installing the APR CAI and SAI filter.
One thing that I have noticed is occasionally I hear the air (can't tell if its the turbo or intake) studder when I start to push it a little harder at lower speeds. I would guess it mostly occurs when I start to push it (not floor it, aggressively and smoothly accelerate) from 20-30mph and at higher rmps (with tranny in drive so its probably in 3rd or 4th) once it starts to hit ~5-6krms I hear the studder of air.
I tried to get a video to capture the sound, but wind noise is too high for the microphone on my phone.
My two assumptions are 1. boost leak 2. need the stage 1 w/intake tune. It could be anything, but I'm too novice to recognize and determine what I'm hearing.
If anyone can understand what I'm trying to explain, I would appreciate thought and opinions. Thank you.
