Might have a stage 3 APR but that mustache is still stage 1.
Eric Culley bruh 😂, it’s a pretty weak stache
Lol this nigga capn lol
Tthe truth lol
😂😂😂
😂
Drove one of these with a GTX3071R on it and you’re not kidding. Launching literally takes your breath away
Launching is the most satisfying thing, the laughter for 2 mins after launching is the best. This car probably destroys sports cars on the road with a 3 sec 0-60. Looks 😍 amazing
Oh it really is! And yes it certainly surprises a lot of unsuspecting sports cars on the road, thanks man I really appreciate it!
Will beat a stock TTRS whose best 0-60 on record is 3.2
Was an honor to work on the beast! So happy with how it turned out! Keep up the great content! Amazing work!!
Bro, you need to do more vids. Do a break down of everything on the R part by part, you'll get tons of views.
That’s an excellent idea! Thanks for the support Joey!
I was just going to say that. I own a 15 GTI. Stock but minor upgrades. Did you have any issues with your coil packs, sparkplugs and/or fuel pump?
Also, all the cosmetic stuff as well as paint protection and washing etc.
Good luck bro!
Ahmed H thanks man! And so far zero issues! And I plan on having it ceramic coated soon as well.
Cleanest R I've ever seen!
Chris Stevenakis thanks my man 🙏
In the states, maybe. But you must not watch German videos where about 50 of them race all over the city streets and autobahns lol
I really appreciate your content. I'm glad you talked about the drivability of stage 2 versus stage 3 feeling more sluggish. I plan on getting a 18' or 19' Golf R with just an intake, intercooler, and an APR tune. I want to maintain day-to-day driving while extracting the most bang for my buck. Thanks man
Absolutely I’m really glad you liked it and appreciate it! Stage 2 is the absolute best bang for the buck In terms of day to day driving and performance!
I’ve got a 2019 Gti, Rabbit Edition, White with Blk accents. My first FWD vehicle. Never thought I would have anything other than RWD when it comes to a performance car. Having said that I’ve never driven a car that’s more fun than this Rabbit. I opted for the 6 speed manual and it’s a blast.
Right there with you man! Got the 2019 Urano Grey rabbit edition. I'm running a eurodyne stage 1.5 file. So much fun to drive.
Bobs burgers in real life 🤔
Jordan looks like the guy from Street Outlaws NOLA.
As of yet in the uk we don’t have APR stage 3 , just 1 and 2 but we have several independents, mine was done by QSTUNING and ecotune software giving me 522-5 BHP and 622nm of torque and a beast using a TTV4 TURBO at 2.1 bar #🚀
Wow that’s awesome! I bet it pulls hard, sounds like a beast!
It was 532 but it was wound back a bit to keep it safe , it would go more if I ran meth but I don’t , over here if you use the TTV5 you can push 570 then add the meth 600 area and yes a beast I have the apr tcu tune and works very well 👍 nice video
Wow those are very impressive numbers! and it’s always good to play it a little safe. Thanks for the support man, if you’re on Instagram hit me up @drivenbyboost I’d love to check out your ride!
Lol
Fellow mk7 R 2016 owner here all stock. This vid is so good, you deserve more subs.

Hey thanks for the shout out! Great car and video, the Spoiler Extension fits it well :)
Absolutely! Fits so well the car should have came from the factory with it!
That’s the best cookie duster ( tash ) I’ve seen this month !
From a fellow Mj7 GTI owner your golf R is badass dude!
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
That exhaust sounds pretty good. Got the apr downpipe on my s3 but haven’t picked an exhaust yet but the switch path is a front runner for sure.
I have a video on my channel that just is an exhaust video for the switchpath if ya need more convincing! It’s an amazing system and the ability to open and close the valves on demand is worth it
Am i missing something? The Mk 7 Golf R doesnt have a generic automatic with a torque converter....it has a Dual Clutch Transmission (DSG for Volkswagen, S Tronic for Audi S3's)
gureno19 nope you are correct, my buddy was misinformed. 👍
They’ve been DSG since 2006. Just missed the memo apparently

Congratulations on the car! You have a hell of a machine there - enjoy it!

Ayyye, sick video guys. That Golf is great- puts my GTI to shame. Excellent work and keep it up!
Thanks! I really appreciate it 🙏
Just imagine what they could do with the golf r if it had the vr6 motor.... daaaaam!
Oh I know! Best sounding engine ever! At best maybe one day we can get a super performance variant model with a 5cyl turbo or vr6 turbo
Nice idea but other than SUVs VW is all but done with the VR6. Too heavy and inefficient. I had 3 VR6 cars. All the enjoyment began and ended with that exhaust note.
The Dude very true!
@@TheDude613 first of all... LOVE YOUR MOVIES.... second of all... you can only do so much with 4 cylinders... i wonder if they will release a new vr6 type engine, or go full v6 for enthusiasts. I know 3sec 0-60 is nothing to sneeze at, and is outstanding for a 4cyl car, but the drive-ability is certainly lost to get that power.
@@TheDude613 ua-cam.com/video/DnR6FBRC0F4/v-deo.html
This is fucking amazing , i currently have an MK7 APR Stage 2 GTI and i just recently Bought the R !
Chino Filmz congrats!! Enjoy your R, it’s a wonderful machine
Such a sleeper looking car. Muscle car killer for sure.
Makes a lot of V8 owners very angry!
😂 you mad bro? 🤣👍
Wow. Cool car and setup. I am on full APR stage 2 setup. Would like to do stage 3 from APR. Did you build the engine? This holds me off a bit. Forging the engine takes time... 😊 👍
Engine is unopened but I have plans to build it eventually. A lot of the stage 3 cars have high miles on this build! But as everything with cars it can be a gamble.
Beautifully set up R! Very clean and well put together.👌🏽
Chris Munsey thank you Chris!
Great vid bro keep it up love the car!
Thank you 🙏
I moustache you a question, where is the wheel from?
Free The plug haha the steering wheel is from TawCustoms!

Amazing video edit man. I'm a Chicagoland UA-camr also man. Love your golf R. I had a stage 2 mkv gti a few years back and loved it.
Now I have a Lexus gsf. Would love to meet up in the spring and do a review of each other's cars
Awesome! Thanks man, I would absolutely love to meet up and do a review, the gsf is a beautiful car, subscribed!
Just got my golf r 3 days ago, even stock it's so fun to drive I can only imagine this thing. Things is the tits guy , love the color as well ✌
I wish I can afford to go stage 3;/ I’m unitronic stage 2 right now with my mk7 R and I’m lovin it, just gotta get that water pump replaced
My Golf R is also running on stage 2 but I don't know if I should do stage 3
sick car dudes! insane! just some constructive criticism is try to make the video a bit more exciting because the car is, but I guess you're just starting out judging by subscribers count, it's a like from me though! 👍 enjoying my 7.5 as well, for now stock :D
I appreciate it! Just starting out and thank you for the feedback! I absolutely love the digital cockpit in the 7.5 ❤️
@@drivenbyboost yeah, that's the thing that sold me actually :D

Thanks my man! We gotta meet up sometime!
I like the editing ! I stay by nw chicago, by norridge area. Would love to see this in person. I’m trying to do a Chicago+ burb youtuber meet in the future so if you know any other automotive youtubers let me know. Big or small channels all very welcome.

Subbed to you too! Love knowing there is a local community doing the same thing! Keep grinding and you will grow your subs. You already have a sick car and seems like your editing is on point!
BULLI KID thanks man I really appreciate it! Definitely awesome to have local channels around for future collabs and support!
This is honestly pretty cool to see. Personally, I’d spend the extra $20k on the TTRS, with one extra cylinder. It gets to 650 crank with tuning alone, bringing its 0-60 down to under 3 seconds with only tuning. It just takes too much work to get the R to where this one is honestly. You’d be spending just as much money modifying an R to this kind of spec as you would for doing the same with a TTRS. It just has more potential. It’s important to invest and look at your options. I’m not saying buying the golf R was a bad decision, no it’s a great car by all means, but the 5 cylinder just has way more potential for power, and has a better gearbox, stronger front and rear end, and the in-line 5 is much smoother than the 4. Very sweet build
Very valid point. I was able to pick up my R used for a very good price and with all the mods I am still under the price of a lightly used rs3/ttrs. I was messing around with a buddy who had a FBO stage 2 rs3 and we were neck and neck with incredibly similar performance. Overall the rs3/ttrs sounds better, makes more power when tuned, and the dq500 is way better than the dq250/381 trans and will be a steal when the market catches up on the used ones. The US does not offer hatchbacks and therefore the golf r is the choice for a performance oriented hatch. If that’s not a concern then by all means the rs3/ttrs is the choice to be. Either way they both are incredible machines and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers! PS.. I’ll take the 5cyl DAZA sounds over the 4cyl ea888 any day haha it sounds amazing!
Driven by Boost hey! Thanks for the reply I really appreciate it. I do know there is no hatch in America, but I met a guy at a meet who 5 cylinder swapped his golf R after he blew up the engine on 40psi LOL. It’s practically an RS3 hatch with the haldex diffs and everything. So if you blow up your motor (I hope you don’t though), just know that a 07K swap is possible with the R! But then again, that’s even more money lmao. Bartek Tuning sells a 1,000hp fully built motor for €17,000, which is about $20,000 American money. They have quite a few in stock, so if you ever need a mostly built in-line 5, go check out bartek. Never know when you might need that motor. I always have backup motors in case I blow mine up in the future
Wow that must be one sweet R! Thanks for the heads up, god forbid something does happen it’s good to know I have options and 5cly golf r would be a dream come true!
Ttrs stg. 3 makes over 600 Hp. Straight beast
@@danielsullivan8493 insane
I subscribed just for the moustache
what turbo you go on stage 3 is either make or break on these cars. turbo technics v5’s have virtually no lag and is custom built for this car. the other ones tend to lag really bad and thats why they tend to feel bad around town.
It's 438WHP and 408WTQ and 482BHP, 435BTQ on pump 93. It does not make over 500hp unless you run race gas (100 or 104 octane) or an ethanol file (with MPI) from another tuner. The engine needs to be rebuilt at this level and beyond. High torque, low RPM use = high PCP = blown engine! If you are keeping the build at this level, you should build the motor for longevity!
Not necessarily, VW/Audi and Mercedes build some seriously solid blocks that are near billet quality unlike many other manufacturers. I’ve personally seen and raced a 600whp Golf-R with E85 and the engine was not rebuilt. I’ve seen this car in person but only passing on the road so I can’t speak for what he has but I can safely say that his specs seem pretty legit.
@@katsuyoshihironaka1191 lol you must be smoking crack no way 600 hp on a stock block
Yeah Debra get the man sauce shots off of your eye lids 💁🏻♂️ Lolol there are plenty out here pushing that kind of power on their stock block. You must of thought we were talking about your honda, lololol.
✌️😂✌️
@@katsuyoshihironaka1191 APR strongly recommends rebuilding the engine.
Stage III+ power, torque, boost, cylinder pressure and temperature levels and more are substantially higher than stock. APR cannot make any guarantees as to the longevity of the factory engine internals or all factory components on every engine. APR strongly recommends rebuilding the engine, especially at the maximum power levels.
Built Engine Requirements:
A quality engine build is required for successful operation. All one time use bolts, nuts, gaskets and seals must be replaced. Components out of tolerance must be replaced. APR specified pistons are required. This package includes the required wrist pins, and piston rings. Do not use an alternative piston. Follow the manufacturer's install directions. Connecting rods must be upgraded to stronger components, utilizing a 144mm rod length and 21mm wrist pin, with replacement bearings. APR Valve Springs are highly recommended and are required if the engine exhibits valve float.
@@katsuyoshihironaka1191 ua-cam.com/video/M5LrRndgqJQ/v-deo.html
I'd believe a Golf R With Equilibrium Tuning Vortex Turbo and Stage 2 tune would give you a run for your money! So much more cost effective too.
Wow, really nice set up. I currently have an APR Stage 2, Golf R, 2016 model. Mine is manual however, with a Stage 3+ South Bend Clutch. I've retired the car to my 16 year old son. Yeah, I know.
So, I'm humoring buying another one, for my daily, and going full blown Stage 3. Here's my question for anyone reading here; how the heck does the stock DSG handle 500HP? I mean, with a manual, you just put in whatever clutch you want and you're golden. I wasn't sure if guys were taking DSG and putting in beefed up clutch packs, I just don't hear guys talk about it.
For the most part with a good dsg tune you’re good to go and don’t have to worry too much about it.
@@drivenbyboost that’s just insane. Cause the tune merely changes rpm shift points but there’s obviously no hardware upgrade. Insane that VW/Audi would have such a durable DSG.
@@cjb8993 it changes shift points but also increases clamping force on the clutches which reduces slippage at higher power levels
Don't look behind u but your being followed by a mini. Good video, like how u go into detail. Doo do do do woosh.
Haha that mini was right on my tail! Glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching!
The greasy stash & sound effects....subscribed!
n drain haha thanks 🙏
Dream car 🥺
Just noticed ur out here in illinois! Possibly getting a mk6 soon!
Absolutely amazing how the Golf-R’s stock block can take even 600hp 😧 I’m loving VW these days ❤️💯
This platform is definitely incredible for making power, can’t wait to see what the future brings us 👍
@@drivenbyboost Dual-injection for the USA market? How's that for a future. Comon VW.
@@exothermal.sprocket Lol, for the USA ? If anything it will be Europe 1st and then maybe Canada and USA 3rd when it comes to that sort of thing
600 hp on stock block?! You gonna blow your rods in a couple weeks lol
Stock Golf R uses forged internals.
I miss this car in your chanel bro 😍

Henry Sykes merry Christmas and happy news!
Everything looks great. Just not a big fan of that front lip. Good build overall. APR is a good kit. 👍
I feel asleep cuz I was so mesmerized of the sheer awesomeness of your car. 😴
Dude are you guys trying to make me buy a Golf R. I have an Audi B8 a4 now 2.0T now and at APR stage 2. Golf Rs are sick.
Dooooo it 👌🏼
chanel’s gonna blow up
His friend said that it had torque converter which is wrong because it’s a dsg (dct)

This is fery nise
3 seconds 🤯🤯🤯
It’s not 529WHP It’s 529BHP at the flywheel, 529WHP would see sub 10 1/4 mile
Not necessarily..hp alone doesn’t determine or guarantee any particular 1/4 mile times.
This car is no where near 600. Saw him at the 1/4 and it was doing 11.7 when I seen it . Maybe he did 11.2 like he claims but no where near 600. Friends golf r with 550 was doing 11.0 and best time 10.9 with no seats.
Next upgrade should be moustache delete I think. Nice mods though dude.
Haha my man, sadly it’s gone in the more recent vids!
Driven by Boost all good things must come to and end unfortunately.
“Mustache delete” 🤣🤣🤣
What steering wheel is that, and how do you like it? I've been looking at putting a custom wheel in my '19 Golf R, but if I'm going to drop that kind of cash, I'd like to make sure that it's a quality piece of kit.
Awesome build by the way!
Thanks! The wheel is forged carbon and made by TawCustoms. I’ve had it for 6 months and it’s held up great! The carbon hasn’t faded and still looks brand new. If you can pick one up I recommend it, it really changes the look of the interior for the better!
nice stache ese

How'd he get the Mk7.5 tail lights to fit on a Mk7? Do they fit like OEM? I can imagine getting the wiring and coding to work must've been a nightmare.
Jack Curtis plug n play replicas, they’re not the oem 7.5s but the 7.5 reps. Wiring wasn’t too bad although still figuring out the coding for the dynamic turn signals
@@drivenbyboost Okay, my Mk6 R has the euro style tail lights from SuperNova Lighting and they came with a CANBUS decoder so it was literally just plug and play, no worrying about coding and the Dynamic turn signals look amazing! Give their website a look if you're interested in other lighting pieces!
Idk why but he reminds me of Bob's burgers
Meh not really
Whats that clunk noise when you drive? Sounds like something is not right with the suspension
Occasionally the drivers side front mount makes a slight clunk sound over stiff bumps. It’s a known issue with the MSS springs , most likely going to change them out come next season.
I drive a stage 1 2017 Golf R with ECU/TCU only, it is so much better than your car at at.....at.......er......it's quieter for enjoying music!!!
Golf R stage 1 is no joke! I was stage 1 for a time being and it was an absolute blast, surprised a lot of people with how quick it is!
@@drivenbyboost absolutely, stage 1 put a smile on my face everyday. I'm that average joe driver that wouldn't need or know how to handle any more power. BUt I still envy your car haha.
These MQBs are pretty amazing, if you’re ever in the Chicago land area hit me up and we’ll go for cruise if ya want!
What about the emissions ? Can flash it to stock and pass it or how you do it ?
I mean, I guess you could drive around at a lower gear, for the extra torque.. but just burns your gas
Need to tune my 7 .:R so bad!
