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.

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.

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

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

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

✅ 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.

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

📊 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.
