What an interesting setup! I dig it, feel you on keeping the IC coolant just for the IC and not the turbo as well. Lots of high end pieces there man thats dope! I’m curious if the a2w ic setup cools it enough to compensate for the added weight vs just a regular IC but warmer air/less power 🤔
Hmmm yeah I haven't thought about the added weight of the air to water IC but that's a good point. The other benefit of this IC is the direct plumbing to the intake manifold, which will increase responsiveness and reduce how much boost is dropped between the turbo and IM (making for a more efficient use of the turbo). Honestly, the increased difficulty (caused by this IC) of working on this engine is making me want to ditch it. I can't even access my shifter without taking the entire IC off 😭 and pulling the engine now involves uninstalling the IC/draining more fluids
POG 1k subs! Thoughts on switching over to an air to air intercooler, a nice big FMIC? less complicated for a street car and will get rid of all those hoses. it will clean up the engine bay as well you can route the pipes to accommodate them in the manner you want them to. Plus you can place the intake in a similar location as oem away from the turbo.
Woo! What's up Ray, I've actually given that idea a lot of thought. I love the simplicity of an air-to-air IC and it would make this engine way more easy to work on. I did take a look at the back side of the block and saw that I could probably route boost piping between the DP and block, but it would be tight. Ideally, I'd switch the turbo around so that the intake is on the left and DP on the right, but then I'll need a new custom DP and wg pipe to match 💸 both of those items would be required when upgrading the exhaust manifold which is on my eventual wish list, so I'll probably to wait to do IC, manifold, wg, dp, and exhaust all around the same time 😅🤑 haha
@@FAZEDTom lot of money lol all with due time then, first to see it boosting around! pls document all of the wiring situation. i might have an idea of what i would like to do in the future!
FAZED Yeah I know man it’s been a whole 3 months process. Good thing I started at the beginning of this summer. I plan on uploading a video of it all to UA-cam once done. But as far as tuning I’m going with United Motorsport.
FAZED yeah I hear only good things from there tunes. And plus I have a stage 1 NA tune from them which is great. Just can’t wait to get this build on the road again.
this thing looks like a bear to work on. Super cool though - will be following. edit: 8:14 - you could potentially run that battery somewhere else if you're not afraid to run some length of cable. Would free up space.
Hey there aren't any kits so you have to piece everything together yourself. There's a great 2.5 community with a lot of helpful guys willing to assist you if you decide to 2.5 swap your car. It's a fairly simple swap if you have a modern vw. DM me on IG @fazed.yt if you have any specific questions
I'm going air to air. I love the air to water but it makes working on the car a lot more difficult. I'm probably going to have the engine in and out of the car a few more times and it adds a lot of work. I can't even access the right side of the engine or the shifter without taking the IC out lol.
Thanks for 1000 subs! 💙
Love the blue colour, can’t wait to see more man!
Thanks Matt! 🤙🏻
Congrats on 1000 subs. You deserve it. And much more. Keep up the good work with the videos!
Thanks Ivan! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Exactly! Just going to get it fixed up and driving for now. Sounds like you're getting some good ideas haha I'll document everything I can
Nice build that you got planned. Currently working on my turbo build on my MK5 Jetta. Almost complete just got finish up my intercooler piping.
Sweet, you're almost there man! Who's doing the tuning?
FAZED Yeah I know man it’s been a whole 3 months process. Good thing I started at the beginning of this summer. I plan on uploading a video of it all to UA-cam once done. But as far as tuning I’m going with United Motorsport.
Awesome, it seems like they're the only choice on stock ecu right?
FAZED yeah I hear only good things from there tunes. And plus I have a stage 1 NA tune from them which is great. Just can’t wait to get this build on the road again.
I know how you feel man. I've had horrible luck and haven't had a project car on the road in 14 months
With a just a stage one 2.5 Jetta I’m here for all i can learn to boost mine next summer
Heck yeah!!! Mk5 or mk6?
looks sick dude. well done!
This build is megga, especially when it has euro wingbacks 🙏
LOVE the wingbacks. They truly sold me on this car haha. Thanks man
If you decide to ditch the Ghostknit front lip in your exterior changes, I want it.
Noted haha. I only planned on running the Dutch parts splitter but now that I've seen the ghost knit in person I'm absolutely love it
What coolant resivor is that and how you mount it
What 2.5 is this from gods is not a cepa or daza engine ?
this thing looks like a bear to work on. Super cool though - will be following.
edit: 8:14 - you could potentially run that battery somewhere else if you're not afraid to run some length of cable. Would free up space.
It isn't the easiest setup to work on lol. Thanks! The battery is relocated to the trunk, maybe you were looking at the fuse box?
@@FAZEDTom oh yeah, that's what it was. Phew, there's a lot packed in there. lmao
🤣 Most of it is situated very well but yeah it's definitely 10 lbs of sh!t in a 5 lb bag haha
How do you do this swap, is there any form which lists how you do it, a swap kit?

Awww man you genius
My dream build ha
Any idea what brand air to water intercooler that is?
I'm not sure but it'll be for sale sooner or later 😁
@@FAZEDTom you getting a better one or going air to air?
I'm going air to air. I love the air to water but it makes working on the car a lot more difficult. I'm probably going to have the engine in and out of the car a few more times and it adds a lot of work. I can't even access the right side of the engine or the shifter without taking the IC out lol.
What intake manifold is that?
It's the iroz billet runners and a stock ttrs manifold cover.
How??
Lol. How what??
