BET I want it! Sucks that your turbo went out bro, been following for a while now. Loving the videos, following a similar path I want to go with my car. My CTS turbo downpipe is in the mail rn
Been watching your channel for a good while now and watching the build progress , an I’m sorry for your loss hopefully you get the new turbo in under warranty and nothing is wrong with the engine… tbh I’d drop the oil pan and check for shavings or you could drain the oil and take that magnet through the drained oil to check for metal shavings
ik that feeling because i had an epc light come on once turning off my turbo because of a intake manifold valve actuator and i was going to fix it and it just fixed itself ig because my turbo turned back on and the light hasn’t came back since
@@Frank99999 i'm currently running the HPA is38+ and i've had no issues with it only reason i bought it is because of the road trip videos ecs tuning did with the rallywagen .
@@colgatemk7gti698 when I had the Ecs tuning diverter valve I’ll lose boost so I ended up switching it to the turbosmart kompact em blow off valve and its loud asf it makes the pshh noise loud on the outside. And once you hear it you’ll end up loving it! And I also recommend the neu speed crank pulley gives more power.
That ground wire for the coil being bent isn’t a big deal as long as you don’t brake it off, To replace that connector for the coil pack you would have to re pin a new one on, I work on a lot of VWs i used a 90 degree pick and lift up the little tab inside of the connector and never brake one and it’s easier to get them off.
Sucks that this shit happens man. I definitely feel the disappointment. How quality is the ecs front lip? I ordered it. Also looking towards getting the Carbon side skirts and Carbon diffuser and I’m curious on the quality especially the yellowing of the carbon.
Damn! Sorry this happened to you man. In my opinion it appears the turbo shaft bearing clearance wasn’t correct from the factory. They might try to say it was starving for oil but that doesn’t fly because you removed the factory is20 and it was fine so obviously the oil supply was ok with it.
yo not sure if u figured it out. but ... w/ a stage 2 and the CTS turbo downpipe are you sure it can handle the is38? i thot u needed a better downpipe otherwise it fucks the turbo
When you put the upgraded is38 you have to re-tune your car to an is38 tune, which we did. Per the manufacturer the turbo failed because the oil pressure was off, it had nothing to do with the downpipe or the tune. :)
@@colgatemk7gti698 thats not the issue, the turbo it self is pourly made, you arent the first one ive seen this same turbo failed on. sorry this happened
Yeah I didn’t see them put oil in the turbo as well or priming it before the first start when I watched the install video. Unless they edited it out but I don’t think they mentioned it at all. I installed my Shuenk is38 using shopdap’s install video and everything went fine. My wastegate was faulty and wouldn’t let me hold boost in the beginning. Replaced with my is20 wastegate and turbo has been solid ever since. Running 91, e30 and E85, Sneekytuned.
Bro, Shuenks are known to fail. they are probably the WORST IS38 variant you could've went with. seems like OEM ones tend to have the least amount of issues. most people who get the Skuenks warrantied end up selling them when they get a replacement.
Sucks to hear man... Honestly there's a reason why I stayed away from Shunek Turbos. Seen many on the forums and groups just like this. Yes there is some that made it out no issues but it seems like a Quality control problem or something
@@colgatemk7gti698 i been hearing that i was going to say something once i heard you said shuenk in the video but i didnt want you to think that i was just hating
LMAO!! broo shunek makes dog shit turbos. Shuenk claimed another victim. My friend bought the same is38+ a year ago and it failed the same exact way. The turbo didnt last after the 2nd WOT pull. It just started to smoke. The doug the owner of shunek blamed it on foreign object damage. Brooo im sorry this happened to you. Please please flush the oil atleast 3 times. Pull the oil pan off and make sureee you have no debris sitting in the pan!!!!!!! My friend didnt do that and soon after he blew his motor (rod went through the block) because the return line got clogged. I'm sorry this happened to you. and im not laughing at you, I'm laughing at the company who makes it, i cant believe heare still selling that garbage. You are the 12 person i seen with a failed one. Those turbos are poorly balanced, made in a Chinese factory where there is nooo excellent quality control to oversee the manufacturing process
I had a Shuenk is38 and it failed after 2 months. Id go with an IHI is38 or go with Mabotech M520h bro! Trust me. Its worth the xtra money. M520h is best bang for your buck personally.
Damn bruh. Found your page a couple of days a go and was hyped when you got your turbo in. This sucks man feels bad brother
Itll be running soon hopefully!

I'm planning on doing that soon! Good looking out 👌
Sorry for your loss man. You’ll recover from this fast !!
It'll be running soon for sure 🤞
Stay Tuned!
LM 440 Upgrade from the Ladermanufaktur is the best turbo for the GTI.
greetings from Germany ;)
Damn your from German that's wild! Imma look into that turbo Thanks!
It’s true. IHI IS38 will fail. LM440 or LM500 is the only turbo in stock housing that will not break when tuned right. Get it from KolbenKeaft
ik that feeling because i had an epc light come on once turning off my turbo because of a intake manifold valve actuator and i was going to fix it and it just fixed itself ig because my turbo turned back on and the light hasn’t came back since
It's a scary af feel for sure😬
Sorry to hear that can i ask how much boost you were running
sorry about your turbo man if you do plan on going to is38 i recommend HPA . you won't be disappointed check them out 👍 goodluck
Thanks man! I'll check it out 👌

It's held up really well! but I've only had it for a few months so idk about the yellowing just yet 🤭

Yeah hopefully I can get a refund on the turbo, think about going another route now with the turbo 🤭
eqt vortex xl or tpc38. About the same price and both good turbos. FCP sells an oem is38 with warranty for 1k. Goodluck man.
Damn bro sorry to hear about your is38 but your car clean asf followed you on ig thanks for the follow back ✌️
For sure homie!!!
2 Questions. Did install the IS38 yourself? And did you check to make sure the waste gate was set correctly?
Yeah part 1 and part 2 are vlogs of me install the turbo, and yeah I check it a few time because I was getting codes for it 😬
yo not sure if u figured it out. but ...
w/ a stage 2 and the CTS turbo downpipe are you sure it can handle the is38? i thot u needed a better downpipe otherwise it fucks the turbo
turbo produces too much psi for the downpipe and it busts the turbo
When you put the upgraded is38 you have to re-tune your car to an is38 tune, which we did. Per the manufacturer the turbo failed because the oil pressure was off, it had nothing to do with the downpipe or the tune. :)
Also, he has been running the new is38 turbo with the CTS downpipe and it has been running well.
Did you prime the turbo? Like did you unplug the coil packs and pump oil through it!?
I did, but the turbo was fine for the first few days I'm guessing it's not a issue with it running dry at it's first start up 🤦
@@colgatemk7gti698 thats not the issue, the turbo it self is pourly made, you arent the first one ive seen this same turbo failed on. sorry this happened

Bro, Shuenks are known to fail. they are probably the WORST IS38 variant you could've went with. seems like OEM ones tend to have the least amount of issues. most people who get the Skuenks warrantied end up selling them when they get a replacement.
I'm seeing that now 🤣, thinking either going stock is38 or maybe trying a hybrid turbo 👌

shuenk turbos pop like way too often. Don't feel bad, it was just crap internals. Same with DBV2...do not touch them either...trust me.
