    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.

  • @albertwilson279
    @albertwilson279 3 роки тому +5

    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.

    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.

    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 )

    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.

    Great vid, I like the way you have talked over what you've done at the same time.
