This build is a great example of how important friendship is in the car community. Even when things don’t go to plan and you blow your ECU, and it’s sitting on jacks and you’re wondering why you even started in the first place, having close mates by your side that are willing to wrench on something they might not particularly like, or a car that feels cursed with every possible inconvenience, those friends are worth every cent you poured into the car. There is nothing like a Davo or turbo yoda or issac in your life. Those are the guys you’ve gotta look out for, because their presence in your lives will be truely missed if one day they’re not there. I love how the boys support reach out, it’s really awesome to see positive role models in the car community that aren’t just buying lambos and driving them in a paddock. The fact that this car exists is what makes the car community great. All the people from literally around the world that made this thing happen is awesome.
Hi, I’m from Portugal and I drive a Seat Ibiza 1.0 TSI with 170hp (the same engine as the VW Up). No one expected this car to be so fast, and it’s amazing how such a small engine can handle it! The turbo has been hybridized, on the intake side. I’ve followed every episode of this series and absolutely loved it. I’ve also been following this channel for many years and always enjoy the content. Keep up the great work!
Hey I'm also from Portugal I have an Audi A1 with the same 1.0 tsi engine, where did you make the upgrade and how much did they charge you? Also is that the only mod you've done to it? I'm currently making 140hp/235nm with 98 gasoline, forge intake, downpipe, and full 63mm custom exhaust. But I'm currently looking to do more. A lot of guys in brazil push this engine really hard, however I've heard some of them say that above 260nm you should swap the connecting rods to forged ones, did you swap them?
Don't you fear that if you push a 1.0 3-pot to a 170hp you will shorten its lifespan to a third? I mean... Back before the EU pushed all the eco laws and car manufacturers could fit whatever engine they wanted with 2.0 4-pots as standard and the more luxury variants with a 3.2 V6 of even a 4.2 V8, cars could manage 600.000 km easy without even trying. Some rare examples even made is to a million k's. I always have the fear with these eco hamster treadmills that they're worn out a 150.000 k's. Greetings from the Netherlands and my 2008 Audi 1.4 TFSI (130hp) with 255.000 on the clock and still going strong. Not the fastest car on the planet, but for the crowded with idiots Dutch roads more than enough. Although I do admit that I would have liked a tat more power. 100hp per ton is my rule for bare minimum and the Audi weighs 1300 kilo's.

I don’t think it matters how much power it has, I believe it’s more how much fun and smiles it brings. Can’t remember who said it but “It’s more fun to drive a slow car fast, than it is to drive a fast car slow” 🤙
Still feel a 1.8 20v turbo motor would've been a better option.. Especially if creating your own up, that was an opportunity to make the Up a better version and a engine it should've come with.. Better results and it would've costed half the money
It’s 07:30 in the uk. Sitting at work having a coffee waiting to start so still a little sleepy. But that first drive with the new filter made me genuinely smile from ear to ear. Thanks Moog.

Enough power for a 14 sec 1/4 mile and would be a weapon on a circuit, the sounds, the smells, the vibes... this is a cracking little machine. Well done on another great build.
Fair enough if its worth it for mightcarmods but for $50,000.... gets you a 2020-2024 Suzuki Swift Sport (zc33s) for $25,000-$35,000. Same platform car as the up!, 1.4 turbocharged direct injection with a 6 speed manual that also weighs under a ton. Add a tune for a $1000 that gains the same power as the tuned up!... You still pocket $20,000 basically. Mind you factory tunes side by side the swift is a tad faster as well. I completely get it's unique in Australia but that does not mean its ever gonna be worth that much. Moog it was so unfortunate you chose to sell the older gen swift sport you had. Would of been 2 perfect cars to compare.
moog, I'd like some advice. I tried to jack up a goat, but one look at the jack and the goat started to eat it. I could not get the goat to stop eating jacks! it's eaten 10!
Look to Brazil. UP Tsi is icon here (we never got the GTI, but the engine was the same). It has been modified to oblivion. On stock internals, all you need is a plug and play hybrid turbo to get around 115-120kw at the wheels.
I’ve done RacingLine intake kit for my S3 8V - inlet pipe and enclosed pod filter worked magically: +30 hp! Supported by Wagner Intercooler. Not sure if they make turbo muffler ‚delete’, but that brings up a lot of turbo noises to the symphony! Cheap part, great difference in sound experience. One thing to note - RacingLine makes two types of pod filter: foam and pleated cotton. Unfortunately, foam mesh is not that durable so better check it from time to time Moog!
Yeah they need to do a new build there. An Impreza RS build would be clutch. Wide body, 400+ hp, the works. Considering Marty's the subi guy, perhaps Moog could build a 2J swapped 180/240SX to compete.
Power to weight definitely is what it's all about, brought an aviner 4wd for the turbo sr20det in it. It was pretty tame with the auto box in a 4wd wagon, chucked the motor into my stripped out base model primera that's about 350kg lighter and even on wastegate pressure it's way faster than the wagon ever was.
Guys 124whp is pretty low for you setup, if i recall you got a hybrid turbo? In brazil we get 160whp on that setup, and something else that the tuner here realised quite fast is that the tq limit is 25kg otherwise the rod go kabum. Hope to see an update on this because i owned a up with the full 160whp and 24.5kg and oh boy, on a car that weighs 890kg is insane. Sick car btw love your stuff
thought the same, in Europe those 1.0 TSI push 100+ kw in stock form in some cars or even more. The basic cheapest cars with this engine roll out of factory with 81kw.
Small cars are quite fun. I had the chance to drive a Ford Ka in the mid 2000s, and had so much fun driving my buddies around. I also own an old Ford Tempo (enlarged Ford Laser/Mazda 3 from late 80s or early 90s), and besides being a shtbox, I had a lot of fun on it too. Way too easy to make it slide on wet curvy roads. Still missing those glorious days...
What I would give to meet you guys and just watch you whole day working on cars. You look like the most happiest, fun, loving guys EVER when working on cars and excited as always when hearing engine noises coming from your final products. You guys are AWESOME -
I have to say, I bought a Seat mii sport as a little city car run about and I find myself driving it over my Alfa now. Crazy how good these little cars are
Awesome project! In brazil there is a lot of people pushing these little engines to 250-300whp and even putting 1.4 tsi 4 cylinders inside the tiny VW ups
here in brasil we have a lot of them 1.0 tsi modded some with forged internals bigger turbo going about 2.8bar of pressure (40psi of boost). Video name "up tsi brasil 350cv stg4"
@@GamingWithPim 2.8 bar is sex spec, take it out on weekends for showing off. It's only dailyable according to people who build cars on forum threads/in their heads and applied to mechanical engineering (but hasn't gotten in, much less work a full job about actually tuning/building engines).
I own a 2019 up GTI “stock” watching this really made me wanna get a tune.. been thinking about it for the past year! Your enthusiasm is unmatched! Thanks for the vid really made me love my up even more 🎉🎉 my first ever comment haha been subbed for years! Love from UK 💙
Just goes to show all small engines like this should be turbo, just for efficiency. Why flog a 30kw engine to barely get up to highway speeds when just adding a small turbo could give it triple the power and make that an easy task.
You know the best bit? Moog has spoken in this way since day one. A balance of just enough to show he's intelligent, but speaks as an Aussie. Firetruck it, day one of asking for a beer with Marty and Moog.
Awesome to see the Up! up and running and making excellent turbo noises! Great job Moog and what perseverance! Would love to see you complete the cosmetic side of the conversion as the gti has lovely wheels and bumpers to set it apart from a normal up.
UP GTI owner here from Scotland. I've came from various Honda Type R s to one of these little nuggets and they are good fun. I'm inspired by this video to get the same parts for mines 😅
The content this year has been next level guys, the regularity of the posts, the quality of the videos and editing, all of it has just been so damn good!
Man, this build is just next level! 🎉 It's crazy to see how much change you can make for the UP GTI. And that $50k? Insane! 💸 But honestly, it’s all about the memories and friendships made along the way. Can't wait to see what's next for you guys! 🙌
Well done with your turbo build, love it/want it! I have the 4 door lux version Up with upgraded trim, cruise and fog lamp extras. I fitted the same ROH wheels except in gunmetal grey, lowering springs by Eibach, front slotted discs by Vmax, free flow exhaust, headlight globe upgrade for country driving, full window tint and blue tooth sound system. It looks great in the factory navy blue metallic duco, sounds cool, rides well, handles like a go kart and cruises the motorway at 110+ klm/hr no problems. Keeping it in the sweet spot, not thrashing it brings out its best.
i miss my old up pepper (the up gti from southamerica without the 6 speed but a 5 speed instead). Had a 1.4tsi turbo swap, full exhaust, intake and 175hp (about 130kw). On that little car i gave stock mk7 golf GTI a run for it´s money.
@@ferrumignis you have to make a custom turbo inlet since it is quite different from the stock one. I made it with 2,5" inox tube and i powder coated it. Both turbos use a electronic wastegate and use the exact same connector. You just need a good tuner since it needs quite a bit of tinkering to make it smooth.
@@ferrumignis actually there a few with the whole 1.4tsi swapped in europe and brazil. There is even a guy with a 1.4tsi swapped one in brazil with is38, forged and like 320hp
There should be a t-shirt that goes "Little Car, Big Heart" with the up, or some kind of a oversized turbo next to it. Little cars for the win, I had a 2001 SLK230 Kompressor, 6-speed manual (kinda rare in the states) no one wants these things but they are great. Little 4 banger supercharged motor under the hood, with a Hardtop (its a roadster), and I heard even the auto trans with the slapstick (post 2001 model years) can take a decent amount of power. I sold mine as I got it to learn a bit on it, so I sold it off. I do miss it tho. It was fun. You were literally sitting right in front of the rear wheels. And it is a RWD car. People also get rid of the supercharger and slap a turbo on there instead.
125 HP in a car with that weight? Holy smokes! What a build! I totally wouldn't spend the time money and effort to do the same but still an awesome little rocket! Well done guys!
This thing is everything I dreamed of and more. You did a great job. It was definitely a “money is no object” build but if my pockets were deep enough I would’ve done it too.

here in brasil we have a lot of them 1.0 tsi modded some with forged internals bigger turbo going about 2.8bar of pressure (40psi of boost). Video name "up tsi brasil 350cv stg4"
I want to do this with my Up!, but I don't speak Portuguese! Do they daily drive their 300+ hp Ups?
@@GamingWithPimyeah, they do! There is a huge community around the vags 1.0 tsi 170/200
@@GamingWithPim yes, the difference is that here in Brazil we have e100 directly at the pump
@@GamingWithPimdo its more easy to make power
@@GamingWithPim 2.8 bar is sex spec, take it out on weekends for showing off. It's only dailyable according to people who build cars on forum threads/in their heads and applied to mechanical engineering (but hasn't gotten in, much less work a full job about actually tuning/building engines).
That turbo sounds like a kitten sneezing and I love it.
Dude, i immediately thought kitten fart 😂
the ups are sick little go karts man lol ill be entering again....
Once I thought of it. I couldn't get the comparison out of my head. Sounds like Anne the first aid doll when you give the rescue breaths... sns.
I own a 2019 up GTI “stock” watching this really made me wanna get a tune.. been thinking about it for the past year! Your enthusiasm is unmatched! Thanks for the vid really made me love my up even more 🎉🎉 my first ever comment haha been subbed for years! Love from UK 💙
I've got to say, MCM has always been, and is the still the best show on the Interballs.. 👏🐐
Smiles per hour... worked.
Shout out to the camera man...thank you for making this contet palletising
My God! That's f king NUTS man. Triple the factory engine power 🏆 ! I hope it handles the jandal for a long time despite the mad new stress level 👍
UP vs Gemini coming soon. I can't wait. Woot Woot. 👍👍
Just needs the gti bumpers to finish it off
Just goes to show all small engines like this should be turbo, just for efficiency. Why flog a 30kw engine to barely get up to highway speeds when just adding a small turbo could give it triple the power and make that an easy task.
Seeing this complete makes me super happy. UP!s are the happiest little cars to drive, good on ya Moog! Chooochoooo!
Props for finishing it!
"That's so small" - That's what she said haha
Was wondering when we would see the next of the UP!! Cheers fellas! Omw home from my mother's bday dinner and will watch when I'm home! 😊
You know the best bit? Moog has spoken in this way since day one. A balance of just enough to show he's intelligent, but speaks as an Aussie. Firetruck it, day one of asking for a beer with Marty and Moog.
Awesome to see the Up! up and running and making excellent turbo noises! Great job Moog and what perseverance! Would love to see you complete the cosmetic side of the conversion as the gti has lovely wheels and bumpers to set it apart from a normal up.
Casually sticking a £1000 revo remap on an up. Mental, however, I'm here for it 😅
UP GTI owner here from Scotland. I've came from various Honda Type R s to one of these little nuggets and they are good fun. I'm inspired by this video to get the same parts for mines 😅
I love your channel! I have fun and day dream when I watch your videos!!
Tank you!❤
The first step is to 'Jack up a goat'. Ok, done... now what?
Awesome to finally see this thing come together.
Not only the only Up! GTi in Australia, but the only Australian-German-British Up! GTi in Australia.
The content this year has been next level guys, the regularity of the posts, the quality of the videos and editing, all of it has just been so damn good!
Man, this build is just next level! 🎉 It's crazy to see how much change you can make for the UP GTI. And that $50k? Insane! 💸 But honestly, it’s all about the memories and friendships made along the way. Can't wait to see what's next for you guys! 🙌
🎉 the commitment to this was legendary! ❤😂
I can’t believe I have never thought of or heard of using that tape truck before 🎉
Well done with your turbo build, love it/want it! I have the 4 door lux version Up with upgraded trim, cruise and fog lamp extras. I fitted the same ROH wheels except in gunmetal grey, lowering springs by Eibach, front slotted discs by Vmax, free flow exhaust, headlight globe upgrade for country driving, full window tint and blue tooth sound system. It looks great in the factory navy blue metallic duco, sounds cool, rides well, handles like a go kart and cruises the motorway at 110+ klm/hr no problems. Keeping it in the sweet spot, not thrashing it brings out its best.
"Run the graphics, this is gonna be epic!" - It's gonna be UPic!
i miss my old up pepper (the up gti from southamerica without the 6 speed but a 5 speed instead). Had a 1.4tsi turbo swap, full exhaust, intake and 175hp (about 130kw). On that little car i gave stock mk7 golf GTI a run for it´s money.
That sounds awesome 👍 How hard was the 1.4 to fit? Did it need any cutting and welding?
@@ferrumignis you have to make a custom turbo inlet since it is quite different from the stock one. I made it with 2,5" inox tube and i powder coated it. Both turbos use a electronic wastegate and use the exact same connector. You just need a good tuner since it needs quite a bit of tinkering to make it smooth.
@@ferrumignis oh sry, i miss understood. I didnt swap the whole engine, i swapped the turbo from the 1.4tsi into the originial 1.0tsi engine😅
@@Garcheezy That sounds more reasonable, I was thinking what a huge job it would be to get the 1.4 engine in 🤣
@@ferrumignis actually there a few with the whole 1.4tsi swapped in europe and brazil. There is even a guy with a 1.4tsi swapped one in brazil with is38, forged and like 320hp
Long after the money is gone or something love your work ! Go Boys !
Sounds like its got a cold 😂 atchoo
No matter what car comes on this channel as soon as it pops up im watching. I love you guys and love watching the vids and learning
There should be a t-shirt that goes "Little Car, Big Heart" with the up, or some kind of a oversized turbo next to it.
Little cars for the win, I had a 2001 SLK230 Kompressor, 6-speed manual (kinda rare in the states) no one wants these things but they are great. Little 4 banger supercharged motor under the hood, with a Hardtop (its a roadster), and I heard even the auto trans with the slapstick (post 2001 model years) can take a decent amount of power.
I sold mine as I got it to learn a bit on it, so I sold it off. I do miss it tho. It was fun. You were literally sitting right in front of the rear wheels. And it is a RWD car. People also get rid of the supercharger and slap a turbo on there instead.
Well done on not giving UP! It's not the money, its being a individual. Now you might have the most rare car in Australia:)
Martin's Look , when Moog said "50k,"" Priceless.. Thank you for all the laughs 😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣 😂
A 0-100kph comparison from the tuned Up GTI compared to a stock Up would be interesting.
moog your music skills are amazing!!!!!! THE DOSE DROP OMG 😍😍😍😍😍
Fitted the same turbo inlet to my Ibiza, worth it for the turbo noises alone.
Never a waste of money when you have something unique, and more importantly.. yours.. There has never been a price tag on joy. Congrats
Great video, i had a Suzuki 1Ltr / 3cylinder Swift years ago and i still miss it to this day. A lot of fun with an eager little engine.
125 HP in a car with that weight? Holy smokes! What a build! I totally wouldn't spend the time money and effort to do the same but still an awesome little rocket! Well done guys!
This thing is everything I dreamed of and more. You did a great job. It was definitely a “money is no object” build but if my pockets were deep enough I would’ve done it too.
I learned a lot more than I ever thought I would on this VW throughout the series. I’m glad it al worked out
Love it. My swift is 750kg and made 125kw was a absolute weapon on the track
