My guy you need a gopro so you can drive with two hands lmaooo
Does your plate read R8 TRD?
Car sounds great!
Damn dude that is hard-core, how many miles on your car and have you had any issues?
I applied video stabilization to this version. I need a better camera setup.
and you don't have to worry about carbon build up!
No, it was perfectly clean @ 100k
Love my rabbit
Could you share your exhaust setup because it sounds amazing
Remove stock exhaust resonator back, swapped in mk6 GTI exhaust,including resonator, back. It drones annoyingly and sounds tin-can without the resonator.
8500RPM? 🤔 Do you have a custom tune from IE or something? I'm stage 2 IE and mine hits the limiter at 7200, and all the documentation online got the stage 2 IE tune says 7200
how do you feel about having done this tune some months later? i have a stock 2.5 vw rabbit manual, only mod i did was a straight pipe after cat. i have an 07 which i believe is 150 hp from factory. i dont know much about tuning, ive done some wrenching on my car though. my car is well maintained, but worried the tune will break my engine. i have 242k kms on the odometer.
The tune is a game changer. Worth every penny and is the best bang for the buck mod for the platform. It really transforms it from an eco-box to a performance car. I have a tuned Golf R as well but I think a properly setup Rabbit 2.5 can be just as fun to drive.
@@AlanSutton thank you! would you have any recommendation as well for a coilover kit or think i can get away with a cup kit (h&r)? im running 17" wheels, i would like the car lowered tasstefully but not too much. thank you!!!
@@stringsnare springs will work if your goal is aesthetics and to lower the center of gravity. I needed coilovers for the preload adjustability as platform is corner balance sensitive.
@@AlanSutton thanks a lot for your response!!!!
@@AlanSutton hello Golf rabbit mk5 or mk6 in usa They came out in a version with all-wheel drive or 2.5 is only front-wheel drive
What's your MPG look like now? Thinking of getting one to replace a tuned BMW that I have that's way too unreliable for me to want to bother with.
Mpg is not great, mostly due to the way I drive it. I have a TDI sportwagon for economy driving.

Need a turbo
Needs an LSD and better driver too
Did it make it any faster? And how much was the tune?
Added 45-50 hp. It’s a lot faster.
Tune about $500. About $2500 In hardware.
@@AlanSutton is it really $2500? The manifold is $875
We did rods pistons and crank.
@@AlanSutton interesting, I only ask because I bought a beetle for the daughter and it has the 2.5, engine feels strong as it is but it's still a beetle. I have a 2JZ GTE in my car, so I'm into making cars a bit faster than they should be. Thanks for the info 👍🏼
increased compression ratio?
Head was resurfaced 0.025, so it’s + 0.5 points.
@@AlanSutton I see, close enough that an off the shelf tune works fine. If you were 11.5:1 or something I’m not sure how that IE tune would react. Nice build, love to see other 2.5s out there revving high.
@@HowToMod32 it pulls timing unless I’m running 92.
@@AlanSutton Healthy engine with that slight bump in compression. how were you able to raise the redline to 8500 rpm?
