HPA Motorsports Haldex Gen.4 “Competition” Controller for Golf R

4. For this graph:

What is the X axis representing? Not quite sure how to read that.

I would also like some clarification of that graph. It is very hard to decypher what the units are for the Y axis & the X axis has no units at all. Please explain what the graph is trying to show.

Hi guys,

We have two separate displays in this image

The upper Graph is showcasing how much TQ in NM is being transferred to the rear wheels over a distance of WOT acceleration. X axis is the distance, so you can see that over the same call out, the Race mode will deliver a) greater Peak TQ to the rear, b) will offer an immediate delivery to capture the entire distance of WOT driving, no delay and c) will have as a result of the immediate engagement, a longer delivery period to the rear axle of the car.


The lower Graph is showcasing over the same x axis (distance/period) the amount of possible engine TQ that is being delivered as a percentage. Here you can note that the call out for TQ comes on earlier, and for a longer period. The next result mechanically is displayed on eth upper graph, that the actual force is much greater as the Haldex is being asked to capture a larger percent of TQ early on in the RPM or WOT run.

Hope this helps to clarify. In Competition, the rear is called on immediately allowing for the entire acceleration request to be balanced across the front and rear drive wheels instead of only the later 60+%.

Everyone, this upgrade in my opinion makes the car drive more neutral with more of a rear push coming out of turns and from a standstill. Easily one of my favorite upgrades I've done to the car, what a difference!!

Install was pretty straight forward, mine was spilling gear oil when we removed the old unit so we quickly had to swap the new controller in. Tighten two bolts, plug in the two connectors and good to go!

This may be a silly question - but does this changed the maintenance interval for the haldex system?

Not a silly question...no change to the interval...

So now I have one. If only my dealer can figure out what Haldex fluid is and where they keep it...

I think I share a similar opinion with a number of R owners that would love the use of the competition controller in the right circumstances, but do not want this as the full time setting.

What is the possible impact of swicthing it out regularly with the stock unit? I certainly couldn't use the competition unit in the winter where I live and feel comfortable that it was still as safe.

Thanks

[Sales@HPAmotorsports]

I cant think of a reason where you wouldn't want to have this as a full time setting.

Why do you feel it wouldn't be safe? Your ABS and ESP are still online and fully functional. There are a few ( thousand )Audi's running around with this setup from the factory ( Torsen based differentials never disengage ) I'd hardly call Audi's Quattro system unsafe in the snow

All I've ever mentioned is to take care of how this will change your car, in terms of traction and control having your power split evenly between all 4 wheels is a much advanteious in low traction situations as I'm sure everyone can imagine. And again wheel slip is still mitigated by your ESP system as it would have been from the factory.

But if you think you would be happier with the stock controller in the winter there is no problem with switching it. You might want to buy a bottle of Haldex fluid to do a top up if you notice a lot leak out when you swap them.

we all have modified our cars one way or another. after 3 years with my AWD, I can honestly say that my two favorite mods of all time are the GEN IV Haldex with the remote and HPA DSG flash. Nothing like putting more HP to the ground by installing my third favorite mod which is all 3 VF engineering mounts but using HPA core interlock in the "dog bone position". Race mode puts a smile on my face everytime. Hands down awesome! I am happy Marcel and the gang are getting into the turbo arena. I can't wait to see what is done

Out of all the mods I've done to date this ranks right at the top just behind a good set of summer tires. The difference was immediately noticeable. Those that have come from an AWD or RWD car previously will be like, "yeah, I remember this feeling". All those FWD tendencies and feelings are gone and bye bye to the horrendous off throttle turn in understeer. Keeping the rear wheels engaged FTW.

[jsausley]

I guess I should have taken my car to the track BEFORE putting this controller on. I mean, don't get me wrong, I LOVE the feeling of my car during hard cornering after the HPA controller was installed but I just don't have a measurement for how different it was before.

I am still really trying to decide between the comp and the switchable controller for my R. I just really don't know what do go for.... ugh. I wish I could get the Comp in the switchable....I know that won't happen, but ugh. Its hard.

Gas mileage with comp is what? 2 MPG roughly?

I don't think there's any difference in mileage. Maybe a tad in the city since AWD is activating more but on the freeway it's still FWD. I still see over 30 MPG easily.

I want one! Just hoping that it goes on sale.....soon!

Buddy with an STI pointed out a good point, hows binding with the competition controller at slower speeds?

If you order them together, you can save a bit on shipping too, as they fit inside the same box.
