Josh brought in his Volkswagen MK7 Golf R for a serious performance boost — and we gave it the full Revhigh treatment, engineered right here in Australia.

We kicked things off with a software update to version #007, laying the foundation for refined drivability and smarter tuning potential.


Blue Volkswagen with open hood on a dynamometer in a garage. Rev High and Vaitrix logos visible. Dark setting with blue light accents.

Then came the real performance gear:

Custom ECU & TCU Calibration – dialled in to unlock better boost control, sharper throttle response, and faster shifts. Tailored to local fuel and driving conditions.

Close-up of an engine with REV High turbo components. Black and metallic parts dominate the image. Logos are visible, set in a mechanical environment.

NGK Ruthenium Spark Plugs – ideal for high-boost turbo applications, helping maintain clean spark under pressure.

Car engine with a Volkswagen TSI logo, MST performance parts, and visible Rev High and Vaitrix logos. Dark, detailed close-up.

MST Cold Air Intake System – better airflow = more power, especially with a tuned ECU.

Close-up of a black MST Performance car engine pipe with a metal clamp. Brand logos visible. Set against engine components.

Oil Separator Kit – keeping the intake system clean and preventing blow-by under load.


Metal pipes and connectors on a gray surface, featuring welded joints. Logo of "Revhigh x Vaitrix" in the corner. Industrial mood.

REVHIGH Downpipe + Mid Pipe – made from thick 301 stainless steel, with a resonator added to reduce rasp and deepen the exhaust tone. Aussie roads demand toughness and sound — we delivered both.

Curved metal exhaust pipe with "REVHigh" logo, set against a gray background. The metal shows rainbow hues from welding.

Revhigh Heavy Duty Ignition Coils – a must-have for reliability when pushing more power.

Line graph of torque and power vs. speed for a 2015 MK7 Golf R. Max torque: 474.1 Nm at 122 km/h. Max power: 230.0 kW at 210 km/h.

📊 The Result?A massive jump from 180kW to 230kW at all four wheels — a real, measurable gain where it counts: on Aussie roads, under your right foot.


Whether you daily it or take it out for spirited drives, this Golf R now delivers stronger midrange, better response, and a deeper, throatier sound. All tuned, built, and tested by Revhigh in Melbourne.
