Yea the stock clutch can only hold under 240fpt
So stage 2 in a first
Late ass reply but this guy knows what he’s talking about. The short shifter and short shift knob are must haves and they’re super underrated.
Pro tip: That center air vent is meant to throw air into the rear of the cabin. Doesn't do anything but that's what it's intended for lol. You should've added a resonator delete as an easy mod to add a little sound. Usually is around $30-50 depending on the shop and makes a world of a difference. Best $30 I've ever spent for my R32. Nice video guys!
getting a mk5 gti, I'm more of a go fast person, but y'all opened my eyes to doing more then just engine mods thank you👌
turns are fun too!!
+1 for listing vagcom as first "mod". The possibilities are endless with that thing. Plus, maintenance is so much easier.
the cheapest mod (free) is removing the front section of the air box to hear the turbo spool louder
Jorge Suarez send me a tutorial pls
@@joeschmoe1645 if you find a video send it here please
Can you do it on a mk6 Jetta?
@@in67koRAW just get a cold air intake
Thanks for the great videos! Always love to see the GTI. I really wish my MKVI had a spot for the dash tray, that would definitely come in handy.
Thanks man! Didn't realize the Mk6's didn't have a space for a dash tray! You learn something new every day...
The video was okay, but I disliked because of the dabbing

I was biased towards thumbs down from then on. Didn't win me back. 👎

I have this urgency to follow your path in disliking.. dabbing to me is kinda generic, I'd rather have them hit the whoa

Just picked up a MK5 and this video helped a ton on where to start modding.
I just plasti dipped the interior trim pieces black in my MKV GTI and I absolutely love it. And it's very, very easy to do.
The mods I've done to my car at age 17 and glad I'm not no ricer, but I have full straight pipe with awe cat back, only got one little resonator. Cts turbo cai, gfb dv+, stage 2 clutch kit, cts turbo turbo outlet pipe, Cobb ap, stage 2+, and red r8 coils and spark plugs. Car is fun af, now time for some cosmetic mods.
I got my Vag com cable from the wish app for $7 and it worked absolutely fine. I added the ability for locking and unlocking windows to my Audi A4, and turned off the seat belt chime.
Thanks for watching! Don't forget about IgnitionTube snapbacks, shirts, and stickers! Make sure to check out www.squareup.com/store/ignitiontube!
IgnitionTube Hi friend beautiful video both gti are gorgeous but that is not eurolight switch actually the real eurolight switch is this ua-cam.com/video/Z9BsWFQ3X7w/v-deo.html
Did you ever figure out the issue with the passenger side drl/parking light? My mk6 has a drl that only turns on when I turn off my lowbeams, and turns off when I turn on my lowbeams
Golf 5💪🏻🔝
The best mod is a tune IMO....flashed is totally different machine. Love the vid guys! Cool mods
Thank you for the tips on this, just got my own GTI and I will keep those in mind! Also made my first video on my channel of my new gti
Pretty cool guys. Ballin on a Budget
The top vent is in case you want to have the ac venting around you and not blasting you in the face area. Also I think that is where the light sensor is if you want auto head lights , which is kind of cool to have like when you go into a tunnel or for the coming home feature.
Auto lights sensor is with the rain sensor behind the rear view mirror
If you change coding of your instrument cluster onto EU via VCDS (you still have miles on the display, you can change units in MFA), you'll gest those inner high beams to work together with xenons - when you have lights turned off, you flash only the inner lights, when dipped beam is on - inner lights illuminate AND shutter in bixenon opens when you switch to high beam. ;)
Thanks for this video guys, I really enjoyed it .I prefer the long shifter though..
this came out awesome Eli nice work! #IWatchedEliDab
The carista app does similar to vagcom with allowing you to mod the lighting only £15 for the app and about £30 for the ECU reader Bluetooth as well!
thanks for this video im planning on getting a 08 gti in the next few months so im doing alot of research on what i should and shouldnt upgrade first i would love the 6 speed manual but i mostly only see autos for sale i would be fine with both tho
all I got from this was how to be a cringy mkv owner in 10 different ways
Should I make a video on how to be a cringy person in general? I'm pretty good at it
no need to hate lol, they both are proud of their clean mk5s
Joe Kinchicken what’s wrong with the mk5 not everyone has the money for a brand new car every 5-8 years for the next gens lol
Joe Kinchicken fair enough I see your point just being a mk5 owner myself lol
💪🏻🔝💪🏻
Cool vid guys!! The vent is just for a.c so it dont blow right on you. But the dash tray is really cool i might invest in that
"Do you know why they put a vent here?" this is so classic.
I love that car! That was my first GTI
The vent on top is not for de-fogging/de-frosting, it is for in-direct air flow. Some people don't like the A/C blowing right on them so you can close off the ones above the radio and still get cold air.
hey E, thanks for the info on the switch. I picked up an actual OEM switch on ebay for $25. talk about a steal
That vent is an air-diffusor. It's there to soften the force of the air blowing out of the front facing vents. Blast the air coming out of the front vests with the air-diffusor opened and closed and you'll feel the difference.
Back when I could relate to him more . This is why I subscribed it’s even in my recommendations if tho I’m already subscribe lol
Mine would be
1.Intake
2.Dump pipe
3. Stage 2 flash tune
4. Grippy front tyres 5. Resonator delete pipe or a cat back exhaust if you have enough money left for that.
Just got an 08 red vw r32 and was wondering what some of the aesthetic mods that are available and where to find or see them.
And then like cheap easy ones and also any suggestions for black wheels or exhaust?
Great video guys
Greaaat tips! thanks boyz
Love the gti videos
Thanks!
car looks good man!
Thanks dude!
sweet! cant wait to get a gti!
Awesome man!
Nice fun/easy mods, and as always great vid quality.
(sent from my cw mk5 r32 on sungold vmr 703's and a ton of vag-com/ united motorsports tunes)
Are those Mass plates?
Thanks man!!
thanks guys, i own a 400hp STI, but i really like the GTI. thinking of getting one God's will.
Nice video guys I have an MK6 and I was wondering if you guys have any good opinions on tuning. Should I go with APR or Unitronics?
I have a mk5 with a few issues and my husband has mention if I want to get a new car of this yr. Am I crazy for not wanting to?..🤔🤦♀️🤷♀️
And im definitely subscribing to your updates. Thanks guys.
Hi..I noticed on both GTI's, (not sure if this is for all U.S. versions) but your Tartan-Seats only had the standard headrests and not the GTI-Logo'd-Rounded-Flush-Headrests. You should invest in some of them seats too,.(if you still have these cars)...They're usually heated as well!..:)..
I like the lower of the car. I'm still working on intake, exhaust and eventually stage 3 kit. I will take some of the 5 cheap mods, including the interior lights, I want to change my MK6 to Zeon lights, but we will see. The Euro switch has the ability for daytime running on/off. Not sure why the Germans didn't offer that feature on 2013, or the freaking 2016.
Good video, I don't understand the hate. All the best.
Yeah, if I had the time for reading endless pages of multiple forums. I would have done it already. Thanks for helping a dubber out.
No worries!
Nice video mk5 goodnesss
Thanks man!
How would you install the Vag Com system?
Hey guys! I was just wondering if it is at all possible to switch the MK5 stock Front Bumper to the GTI bumper? Also is there a way to change those grandpa-like black plastic trims on the doors? I just got myself a MK5 DSG TDI and I love the car but I really want that GTI look and feel! Any advice would be great, love your work! Thanks guys!
I already got the vag com and led interior lights but one thing I would add to this list is a cold air intake. This allows you to get rid of the engine cover on FSI.
Not a bad idea!
the upper dash vent is for better circulation of air throughout the interior.
most people will have the front vents pointing directly rearward towards the occupants. so there is very little circulation of air. instead of just the area around where the vent is blowing being frigid, better circulation means your whole body will be cooler. and therefore you can turn the a/c down, and the system doesn't have to work as hard.
Sweet vid loved it! Great mods for the price. Would love to do a collab sometime if you are in Cali, I have a GTI too but my channel is MK7 focused.
Cali is across the country :/
Well dang lol. Well if you are ever in Cali look me up brotha.
The top vent is to diffuse the AC so it doesn't dry your eyeballs out. Would be a great spot for a pop up Navi
what company did you buy for the flash to pass bulbs?
Would the GTI be a comfortable car for a 6'3 Foot person to drive daily? Is there a lot of head room? Thanks! Keep up the good videos!
I have a skoda octavia vrs in the UK I'm pretty sure it's the same dash layout
But the dash tray/air vent is a tray and standard with a touch pop open and close cover
I know you have a video that talks about adding a cool air intake but i can't find it at the moment but i have a question. I have an FSI turbo GLI '08. Is it possible to just take off the mass flow air intake and connect an air cone filter and expect it to make the turbo a little more noticeable?
Eli be hating on Alex's car
awesome video
Thanks Ben!
Good thing this was 4 years ago, hope you guys graduated from high school and driving a wrx now
you guys make damn good videos
I have a normal golf 5, can I program to beep when the lights are left on and the keys are left in the ignition?
I've got an MKV Rabbit and I was planning on adding some lighting to my footwells. How does he have his set up? 12v plug or hardwired?
just regular amazon led bulbs w5w
It's funny that your right parking light flickers because I have the Ziza LED city lights in mine and my same one flickers as well! Can't seem to fix the issue though.
What mods do you recommend for an 08' VW polo 1.4 ? im not too sure where to start. Its my first car. I really like the idea of the short change shifter but not to sure if I can use that on my polo
Just sold my MS3(so sad)....buying gen 6 GTI SE. Nice mods
I'm a mk4 guy. I love my 20th. I like the wider body gti's. Mk5's and Mk6's are to narrow and pointy for my liking but cool vid.
Jorel Ortiz mk 4 is the shittiest gti
@@colewilmoth246 Id say the mk3 was worse because it was much heavier and to much body roll on corners
whats up Eli, just subbed to your channel, since i recently got a new to me 06 GLI. i can't find anyone that has Vag Com near me. any ideas to help?
Hey guys I got a 2017 GLI and was wondering if the euro switch would work on it ? It would be a pretty cool mod with the LED strip that my car has
The guy in the white sounds like a reincarnation of Jessie from the fast and furious ha, good video lads.
Yessss mk5's. I need a short shifter in my life
They're great! Highly recommended
dope vids keep it up
Thanks man!
Cool video Eli! I like the VagCom mod! Do you know off hand if the mod would work for a Mk 4 Jetta? I'm guessing it might not since it's an older model.
A lot of VAGCOM stuff will work on Mk4's... Maybe not the same mods but they definitely exist
Thanks Eli!
Great Channel !! (Question)-> I have a chance to buy this sweet 2014 Volkswagen GTI Drivers edition for Only 18K.. But i really wanted to get something new. (Like wait for the 2017)... Question is; Is there that big of difference between a 2014 to a 2017 model ?... Should I wait ?...Thanks..
nice vid, thanks.
I appreciate this video. I'm definitely not your target demographic - just looking up GTI videos because I'm thinking of trading in my current Golf for one. But I do appreciate that this stuff can be done. I just don't like the idea that I might be driving the same car as you. =)
gd job. I got a mk5 gli in Tampa FL that vent on the dashboard does sux.
I want the triple gauge pod you mentioned right at the end, how about a link or a brand name?
Definitely enjoy the video, im new to the scene and unfortunately mine is not a GTI 😔 is just a regular jetta..
The vent on the top of your dash was for airflow without havin it blowing in your face out the front vents... and to help increase exchange for ppl in the backseat if someone else hasn’t already answered this for ya ;)
how does the switch work? do I just put it in or is there something else I have to do? like reprogram the car or some
My 2009 Canadian model MK5 Jetta came from the factory with that dash tray.
is there an easy way to do a neutral safety switch bypass? I'm thinking of getting a mk6 but I have always having to step in the clutch to start the car.
another good mod, tint your taillights a little bit darker so they look euro
golf mk2 for the win
Good work GUYS i will buy mk5 great car
The vent on the dash in Europe is to put your mittens on it and keep them dry and warm
Hey I need new wiring for my headlights where do I get it from any ideas?
nice vid guys
Thanks mate!
Massachusetts! Hell yeah! Do you go to any car shows across the state?
Triple gage pod is really nice
i caught the kids in the hall reference. nice
Nice video! Jealous of all the possible Vag Com mods. Don't think Subies have that option
VagCom is a fantastic thing :) So many coding possibilities.... People even write their own mods. Pretty cool stuff
i have a question about the r32 big brake. you only put the big brake and dont change the rotor or you need change the rotor. thanks
Where did Alex get his Shift Boot at? That red stitching would look cool.
Hi, thanks for the vid. Wondering what wristwatch Alex is wearing, thanks.
Luminox
You guys are cool 😎
I have a mark, 6
nice cars¡¡¡¡ GTI power¡¡¡¡
That vent on the front center also opens and closes the front windshield defrost ducts by the way.
correct! there are still a bunch of vents pointing at the windshield though so it works just fine even with the dash tray.
is there any big diffrence you should look before getting a `golf` between golf mk5 vs mk6
