My wrecked VW Golf R project is starting to come together! After a stage 1 tune the 0-60 is closer to a Lamborghini 0-60 than the stock VW Golf R. I went to @awesomecars1 to get some more modifications for the Golf in hope to make the Golf faster than my Lamborghini.

How things have changed from these days. Building a Golf to go faster than a Lamborghini to building a Lamborghini. Views and comments a small fraction of the newer content. Mat has had quite the journey.
Ya can boost an r to go mid 2 seconds
But it's still a golf
it's so shocking how much you actually do all in one video, the hard work really shows
Anyone else genuinely surprised when the sponsor isn’t Surf Shark, square space or manscaped 😂
What you talking about, Matt has always had Y foods as one of the sponsors.
@@jrdawson1819 your right
If you ask me Mat looks a bit malnourished, not the best guy to advertise for meal replacement shakes 😂 j/k Mat✌️
I was expecting surf shark
@@alphachingon6920 his belly isn’t swollen like malnutrition. It’s not about being thin or fat either lol. If you’re an on the go human who doesn’t get time to eat because of a busy schedule then Y food will help you get something in you in a pinch.
Don’t know how anyone can watch this and not subscribe, He seems so cool and transparent.
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Matt:
* fits induction kit *
* has to take off induction kit he’s just fitted to fit intercooler *
Maybe it wasn't on the same day? Maybe he used the car after the first install...
@@nkosikhonamazongolo7337 maybe not
Yeah. That got me 🤣
Could have adjusted the coil overs too 😅
No one :
Except me:
🧐attach a airco to cool inlet?!
Noooooooooooooooooo 😭
Who will now wait for the second video and stage 2 🏎️🚨
My thoughts exactly
Not got much choice really?
Can’t stop looking at that rear arch on the Maserati in the background 👏🏻💜🔥
Nice Mat! It’s always a good feeling when you spend less and get a faster car. You get the best of both worlds owning both cars! 🙌🏽👌🏽
Is still golf doesn’t mater how quick you have to spent more money on turbos and remaps and wen you show off you sitting in golf fond forgot that 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Still love how much enthusiasm you put into all of your videos, keep up the amazing work.
Love the fact that Hannah is usually included helping in your videos 👏🏻
You love Hannah
The arch gap you’ve got now is spot on, I don’t get why people like the tyre to literally be tucked under the arch and how some people can live with the tyre rubbing just for the sake of it looking a certain way
For anyone wanting to do the intercooler , you don't need to remove the rad pack or the headlights. The bed doesn't need to be undone either, mark the prop shaft before removing it so it goes back on in the original position, then tie it up to the passenger side ( it is a squeeze but possible to still remove the DP) If you live in the NE of England I can help with these hardware installations.

I'm a long time fan of your channel, Mat, I just stumbled upon this old video, it's crazy and amazing to see how much your channel has grown! From 10k subs at the time to 4+ million, wow! Congratulations man, keep up with the amazing job you do!
3:53 having less than 10k subscribers and still making this much quality content is just insane! 🔥
Being a GTI owner, you didn't even need to buy an entire air intake system. Upgrade the piping from the stock box, upgrade turbo inlet pipe, cut out the plates blocking off airflow through the front grille, install backing plate to the left side of the front grille induction piece, remove snow guard, and install a high airflow filter.
Done the same on my 7.5 R xD does the exact same
Love the get to the "bloody" point approach, high energy and time lapse installs....magic! Cheers from across the "pond".
Nice mods Mat.
Defo one of my favourite channels at the minute. 👍
Until this video, I never understood what an induction kit, intercooler and down pipe looked like and what they did. Thanks to this video, I just learned so much.
Best build on UA-cam Right now! BTW Matt, you do not require a cat-back. All you need is a Resonator delete, changing over the valves is a pain! The standard cat-back is perfectly fine
it's so shocking how many sponsor integrations you actually do in one video, the hard work really shows
I absolutely loved this car at the time .cause i had a mk5 golf and still have it .mine took on a whole new look at the time of mat and team building his golf r . Cheers mat your inspiring a nation 👍
Me: * Sees Mat has posted. Immediately clicks *
Same 😂😂
Same
Same 🙋🏼♂️
ok
Haha so true.
Hi Mat,
I work in the development of driving dynamics in Munich (I think you guess which company this could be :) ) and everytime you change springs, damper or install custom rims it is a horror for me to watch. We put so much development into it to make it fit for all damping situations (from fully compressed to fully decompressed). It is not as easy as all those custom upgrade dudes think it is ;).
That your tires are scrubbing in the wheelhouse is only one issue. It could also be that cables or your brake hose could get damaged. Just for your information - keep a look onto all of your cars now and again.
Anyway - nice job and very interesting what you are doing :). Keep it up (and pls take white or yellow for your Mucrielago :D )
Man your knowledge is awesome...loved the commentary on what you were doing. Thanks for that
What a treat, you are on one Mat.
Really enjoyed the voice over the fitting process. It often gets glossed over but I think it really adds to the video
Just picked up my S3 today from stage 2 today. It’s impressive what these 2.0 are capable of.
Love when there's new Golf R content!
Nice thing about the Golf R content is that it's on a car which is slightly more obtainable Vs lambos and mazzi's
@@williamgravatt6160 yup, totally agree!
4.9 secs to 60mph is the stock estate R mate. Standard hatch with the DSG is 4.6 secs. Cool vid as always 👍
Love new R goodies...... The content is excellent..... Stage 2 tune is fast..... Coming along nicely..... Way to go Matt on getting dirty and no fear on doing just about everything on the Vdub..... You and Hannah simply kick ass!! 👍
Followed u since ur first s5 video. Love your work Mat 🤝
Great choice Mat, Awesome are my go to tuners and have been for 20+ years! 👍🏼
Bro you do so much content in 1 video it’s actually incredible. Loving your videos brother
I liked the video because everything is pretty straight forward, not too much talking that's the thing, keep it up
Hi Mat , we have in Romania a Golf 7R with full interior and looks stock from outside and it takes 0-60 in around 2.8 seconds. Have a good day and keep going !!
This is a real treat for us, three modz in one video 😁 thanks Matt!!!!! Please ask your tuner to add the crackle file “only when in sports mode”
Nice one Mat, so nice seeing Hannah show other women that they can do it to. Go Hannah! 🤗👍🏻😉
I’m watching from Africa, October 2024, you did a great job!!!
Good Luck with pushing 500hp in R.
I have mine at ca. 530-550 but entire motor is changed with turbo. For that price i could buy one more R. But it is worth it!!
That wicked downpipe install deserves new subscribers for sure! Ugh, i wish i lived in the UK to win this when you raffle it! 😁
Most eye catching G7 I've ever seen. Makes me wish for one. Good go Man
I have a stage 2 MK7 GTI and recent got the the DSG tune as well. Looking to wheels/tires next then wrap!! Gonna got for it myself with Nardo Grey! Love the channel! Been watching since the S5.
Matt your a legend. Love how your so excited about modifying the Golf as you are owning the Lambo. Look forward to the result. Then the Turbo upgrade on the Lambo 👍👍❤️❤️
Respect for attempting that Mat.🙌
I see Archie Hamilton Racing is tuning his new 2021 Golf R at the moment, new Milltek Exhaust on the latest vid.
Loving the new addition of the voice overs over the timelapses of you working on the car 👌🏽 the content keeps getting better and better, keep up the great work bro 🙌🏼
Glad you like it! Thought I’d try it for a while see what people think
It's quality, really like the voice overs. How many hours was the downpipe job btw??
This video is sponsored by Y food or Square Space is basically part of intro of every video 😂😂
Gotta be pullin in the green.
Or surfshark
If you watch it with closed captions, it's sponsored by waifu lol
I borrowed Awesome's courtesy car once. An A3 1.9d diesel I think and looked standard. It was rapid! Great garage.
Huge inspiration as always Mat! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Another bangin video...
Has anyone told you that you've got the lights wired up wrong tho ?
Dipped beam uses the outer ones, main beam the inners 😉
I was just looking thru the comments to see if anyone else had noticed.
Trust me I’ve been trying to work it out myself apparently they need coding to the car. I can’t see shit at night
@@MatArmstrongbmx summer is round the corner 🤣 lighter nights, no problem
Love the voiceovers you started doing 👌💪
Any problems with the aircon and getting fluid levels topped back up?
Mat..you are by FAR one of the best hands on mechanic on UA-cam..your videos are awesome and very informative! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!🤙🏾
Install induction kit... remove induction kit to fit intercooler.. 😂
biggest school boy error 😂
I was looking for this in the comment section as soon as he did it 😂
😂😂😂😂 muppet
@@MatArmstrongbmx please link some spare parts for the filter and intercooler thanks in advance
Not gunna lie mat I think you are one of the best youtubers I follow love the mods. Love the cars and love all of the content. I always pick your videos to watch first . Your a true inspiration! Keep the content coming ! Only improvement i can ask for is longer videos always seems to be really quick videos (coz I e joy them)
Loves the videos mate! Got myself a golf r and in the process of doing stage 2!
did you fit the original plastic oil sump? did the metal sump still leak after you re sealed it? did not hear you mention it in the previous video's .
Matt - could you get the guys at Mallory to dyno the golf before the Stage 2 remap. I'd like to know what HP / Torque gains you have seen with just the addition of the airbox and the down-pipe. I assume there will be minimal gains based on previous induction work, but you never know. Then do the Stage 2 remap.
Albeit, if you'd done a Stage 1 remap, dyno, Stage 2 remap, dyno, airbox and downpipe, dyno ... it would have given us a good view of what tuning mods work.
I kinda know what works but don't want to put out a spoiler.
Mat word of advice from my fiesta st days take the bonnet sound deading off you'll be able to hear the induction noise so much better inside the car
Sick mate , I held my breathe at the scorpion pipe bit . Hezus bro that was deep I felt that
I really like the sound of the R mat, well done boss👍🏽
Hannah is a legend !!!
i remember our golf r 7 it kicked lol thats the red one but you can see my son drive it and what modifications and maybe get some ideas matt , i lov the videos mate keep them up....
Fastlane_tv is his channel
You are smashing de coolant return line with the intake, get the relocation hose or pass the oem over the intake
You need some engine motor mounts brother. Just purchased sim Kevin air fresheners and money pit swagg. Plus the toolset, I’m a big fan Matt. You are inspiring my man!
Proper Vids for real people. Nice one Matt and Hannah.
Literally one of the best at doing the sponsor ads👍 youtube should just pay you to do all its ads i wouldn't even complain anymore about the forced ads🤣
Love it, loved the way you have energy in your videos.... the speeding up of the boring parts was top.
Great vid Matt ! Keep up the fab work
Mat has to be one of my favourite people on UA-cam atm
your video production has noticably improved !! nothing wrong efore but now its really slick. good work man
Thanks man takes a lot of time but always improving and learning with time
You should definitely do some content we’re you do a body kit and upgrades and stuff on a subscribers vehicles prolly make for great content
wouldent you increase boost pressure and apply stronger chams?
That Golf is a Mega sleeper..💥💥💯💪
Smashed it mate!
Best series so far mate
If you do turbo inlet, go for turbo outlet as well 👍🏻
Amazing video mate!! Can't wait to see this turn into a lamborghini killer!🖤🖤
I've watched every Video since day one ...100% best car UA-camr..Keep in up Matt
Love the content as always mate, but can you answer why you didn’t get/fit a 4” trackslag downpipe along with the stage 2 bits rather than a 3” .
What are the functions of those two auxiliary radiators in the wheel wells?
Love the update to the format; hearing the narrative whilst you're doing the work like that is a nice touch.
That thing is going to be so rapid! ⚡
Where did you get the steering wheel cover from? And what colours for the 12 o clock and stitching
Make sure to replace all your stretch bolts in the subframe and get an alignment. Lowering the subframe will put everything out of whack!
Can't wait to hear the loud pops and bangs!!
the why food ad is awsome, the stage 2 is awsome and why ? because he is just being honest subscribed !
I just wanna say this dude has amazing energy because he clearly made it. Have Rich people that have Lamborghini are just dull and act like they are depressed like dudes with twin turbo Lamborghini= sad 😥 wtf...
Love watchin these Golf R Videos
Matt please, modify an old defender, with a big engine, and nail it like you always do
Can honestly say the best part of my day is when I get back from work to watch your newest video. Thanks again legend🙌🏼
I dont know why but I'm feeling the Golf R video's more than any of the other cars..?!
Great channel and very nice video. I found my first ever channel where the ediring of video is just perfect. I didn't take my eyes off the video not even 1 sec. Great job man keep it up . cheers 🙌🍻
We all know how perfect the conditions are when Volkswagen do their testing.
But awesome build indeed!
We need longer videos Mat !!!!!!! 👍👍👍
Hope you’re well Mat🤗❤️
I love this car! Certainly the one I’m most interested in.
Good work Matt, always a pleasure to see Hannah
It’s Tuesday, I get the notification whilst at work that a new video has dropped. I race home (in my Astra..lol), swing open the front door, push the wife out the way and take over the tv from the kids and demand everyone to be quite cos Matt is on... lol
The video finishes and only then I say hello to the family.. priorities ay!!! 🤪
Love the content. My dream car there. Golf r. Not the lambo,!!
Can't wait for tune up and result. Great work as always .
Love the narrating over the work you are doing. Really good idea. Great content mate 💪🏻💯
Great vid, I like the way you have talked over what you've done at the same time.
Epic job to upgrade the intercooler! And then the downpipe took it to a new level!! 😱
