DO NOT GET "UPGRADED" COIL PACKS. The oem ones are fine. Upgraded ones usually cause more issues then they are worth. It's more a grounding issue then coil pack
@@tredfxman I haven't heard about those ones before. I would just keep any eye out to see if you have any spark issues. I would look at getting better grounding to help with the ignition system.
I’m a VW tech, and there’s probably only 2 engines I love - 2.5 5 cylinder ( N/A ) since it’s bulletproof, and the Mk7 GTI engine. It really is reliable, much more than the mk6. You take care of it; and it’ll take care of you. I’m at 110k miles and I haven’t had much issues at all.
With that being said, don’t cheap out on certain things like spark plugs, don’t waste money on ignition coils, and cut your service intervals in half. ( all of them ) there’s no timing interval like the mk6. Just have it annually inspected for any chain stretch. Plenty of guys going over 150 plus with no timing job
I put a high flow filter and that’s it lol 😂 it’s fine the way it is 7.5 is great and I have the best brakes ever I mean I can stop when driving fast or on curves down hill lol 😂 for stock brakes I am impressed
I watched this before I got my 3rd vw (mk7.5 GTI Rabbit edition) I laughed when you said you never leave unless you go to a Porsche. And the rarity thing is so true too. I hate to admit it 😂 but I do alot of that dumb shit like I know what factory my mk2 gti came from and what dealer it was first sold from. 😅
MK7.5 GTI S 6spd - fifteen52 Podium in Frosted Graphite - MBRP Exhaust - Racingline full intake with Turbo 90 Inlet - Racingline VWR Springs (Saving for coils) - IE Stage 1 tune (Saving for a clutch that can take more power) With a little more power and suspension mods to come!
Shoot, don’t stress me out like that. My gti has a intake, exhaust and a downpipe waiting to be fitted, but no tune yet…. I should start thinking about that😭
Nothing bad happens. You’ll be okay. I ran a DP without a tune for a year. Car runs just fine. Tune though really wakes up the car and completely transforms it.
@@Laserduckyz the plan is to never sell it I'm going to dump another 20 k into it Go stage 2 or 3 and use it as a daily driver and just get a Porsche GT3 for weekends and track days.

This is true, running 34 psi of boost with OEM coils, instead of upgraded coils will recommend a grounding kit, that can avoid future problems.
Had apr coilpacks and the crapped out at 20k I'm now running rs3 coilpacks definitely more oem++
@@scottroberts5529 You do know those are exactly the same as the ones on a GTI or Golf R right?
@@Christian3522Just switched to Bremi ones from Germany, any opinion?

Me: Gets a GTI
Martini: Releases a video on it being amazing
They found out we are just Porsche dreamers 😭🤣
mk7 is SUCH an underrated car

I’m at 162,000 miles in my golf R no problems at all
My GTI has the DSG and I don't know if I'm driving it properly in the city I hit the brakes fairly often
Do you have the same love for its transmission?
What about the 1.8t? Just got into my first VW and it's a MK4 . All I could afford at the moment lol. Any tips?
Me as a mk7.5 golf R owner a lot of stuff still applies 😂 but the amount of Golf R’s in this video is kinda funny 😂🔥
How to modify Golf 7 GTI.
90% of examples in the video are Golf 7Rs.
I put a high flow filter and that’s it lol 😂 it’s fine the way it is 7.5 is great and I have the best brakes ever I mean I can stop when driving fast or on curves down hill lol 😂 for stock brakes I am impressed
I honestly missed these & I just now stumbled upon this channel… Im subscribed to the first one 😂❤
Most the mk7 shown were R but yes they sure sick af btw love the throwback music. ❤

Loving this!

Loving the series! Keep up the great work!
Went from gti to tt and yeah definitely keeping it till we have turbo s money
MK7.5 GTI S 6spd
- fifteen52 Podium in Frosted Graphite
- MBRP Exhaust
- Racingline full intake with Turbo 90 Inlet
- Racingline VWR Springs (Saving for coils)
- IE Stage 1 tune (Saving for a clutch that can take more power)
With a little more power and suspension mods to come!
How do the springs ride compared to stock. I’m in the market for suspension but don’t have the budget for coils
@@adder6678lil stiffer, like halfway between stock and slammed on coils.
Thats a pretty spicy GR86 you have back there...
She's going drifting next weekend, be sure to subscribe here and Torque Motorsport to stay up to date on it!
Love the series, but how about a how to modify your Mazdaspeed protege? Lol
AYO
Anyone who tells you they don’t love a good gti is either lying to you or making a cry for help…
you forgot how legally if you buy one, you then have to buy a tacoma when you wanna go faster or get an rs3 after selling the gti
I love my 6speed but it is known to be very weak. Only downside Ive experienced so far (minus German tax)
Lets get a vid on the best looking GTI the MKIV
Idk why I am just now seeing this video but the car in the thumbnail was mine lol

Should do the mk5! :D
Focus st next !? Please

I just picked up a Mk6 GLI
teach me how to modify a sportwagen
What is a good price at this time???
Shoot, don’t stress me out like that. My gti has a intake, exhaust and a downpipe waiting to be fitted, but no tune yet…. I should start thinking about that😭
not to stress you out more but you need a tune if you're rocking a downpipe on these cars
Nothing bad happens. You’ll be okay. I ran a DP without a tune for a year. Car runs just fine. Tune though really wakes up the car and completely transforms it.
what about audi b.5 a4/s4
I can't bring myself to sell my 2015 MK7 GTI SE 2 door. I really wish they'd bring back the 2 door models. Ugh.
I crashed my 2-door and miss it so much u should keep it;( how much would you sell it for tho??
@@Laserduckyz the plan is to never sell it I'm going to dump another 20 k into it Go stage 2 or 3 and use it as a daily driver and just get a Porsche GT3 for weekends and track days.
What if I’m getting the engine build is that better😂😂😂
Now do the mk8 R!!
