4th gear is the best gear for maxing out your boost! But the 21.6 isn't your max boost your max boost is the boost you hold until redline. I have a manual and I hit 24 pounds and max I hold is about 19. But any way nice video man!
280 at the wheels would mean you could possibly beat A LOT of "luxury sedans" like BMWs ,some Audi's ,the list goes on but if you do get it dyno'd please make a video of the whole process I would love to watch. Also is that farting noise when you shift gears from your new hpfp ? I love sound
heliograms lmfao? your boost gauge is measured in "inches of mercury (in Hg)". It is a unit of pressue. "IN" is an abbreviation for inches. "Hg" is the periodic symbol for the element mercury. A heliogram is a message sent by heliograph, whatever that is.
I love this guy hes hilarious! His videos inspired me to purchase a GTI. I bought a '07 with 63k miles. Unfortunately its suffering from extreme oil consumption... about 1qt per 300 miles or so :( There is no visible burning oil and there are NO LEAKS..... The piston rings were replaced by the previous owner... he sold the car two weeks later. The car literally runs perfect... I just don't know where the oil is going... thinking about replacing entire valve cover.. any ideas gtiman?
I add a half quart every 2 weeks, no leaks either. I was told it's normal for VW's with turbo's. I got rid of the factory PCV system in favor of a catch can, which keeps the excess oil from getting displaced in all parts of your engine. I regularly empty the catch can of condensated water and oil mixture.
Lol, buddy that's called a "boost spike" not max boost! if you see 21psi at 6500 RPM that is max boost! what is happening is the wastegate is closed until it reaches it setting, and then opens, typically boost instantly (unless you have a external wastegate which you do not) drops 1-2 PSI. Also, turbo FLOW and PSI are very different! A turbo boosting this motor at 15psi, put a larger turbo and set it to 15psi, you'll make a lot more power. so also this isn't max boost because a K03S which is your turbo is not capable of boosting 21psi at red line. if you are seeing this. I've owned 2 of these and 1 is exactly like yours stage 2+. side note, laughed my ass off!
It's the genuine VW/AUDI 2.5 inch Sport Exhaust it has NO muffler, however a very large Resonator only... I also have a 3 inch Downpipe which makes me stage 2 and louder also. I'm now APR stage 2+ with my High Pressure FSI Fuel Pump!?
That sounds like a mean machine... right now I have a 2009 VW Jetta with the 2.5L inline 5 And any and all mods are so expensive lol i wanted ti get the AWE Exhaust for it and a APR cold air intake. My next car will Def Be a GTI. You should check out my channel i have my jetta up doing a 0-60. Thanks for the fast reply.
Anytime you're not pushing the throttle it should be like negative 19 or 20 when you're at idle I have a cold air intake So that might mean it moves more air? Make sure because New South Performance MADE 2 different kinds one shows the inches in mercury Hg which is negative boost and then PSI which is positive Boost Most Turbo gages start to at 0.

Nice video I've got a built 6.0 TT GTO and a mk5 GTI as my daily driver, and I'm looking to turn up the boost on my STOCK GTI how does the stage 1 feel and effect it's gas mileage and reliabilty?

i got apr stage one. My cruise control buttons doesnt work at all so i cant change programs. After i bought the car, i replaced the battery, had it out for two hours. Dont know if this might have reset my tune, but i read around 11-13 psi. i do get spikes up to 18 +/- but they dont stay, evens out to around 12 usually. Either a leak, or car is back to stock. So confusing.
APR reverts back to your stock program after battery removed that's to protect customers from VW finding OUT you're chipped🙄 but it's simple to FIX you must turn key 🔑 halfway with cruise in on position then enter your code one number at a time by depressing set button once for each digit then cancelling cruise power with switch to off position in between each successful number entered 3 would be 3 presses of set button then switching cruise off then back on... there should be 4 numbers in code if you forgot go to your APR dealer and they can set it up for YOU for a nominal fee. as APR KO4 now my stock program is also my performance program as I no longer can be STOCK KO3!
ok thanks. I wasnt given any code when i bought the car (with apr already on) i might have to ask the last owner. However, my cruisecontrol itself doesnt work. no dash light, cant activate while driving. trying to figure out if it might be a fuse somewhere but all fuses seem to be intact. i read online that the stalk often fails on these cars? turn signals works though.
+Fungist aka (B-laze) yes APR has that information on your file... They can download it... And can fix your stalk could be just a loose wire I go to FS tuning here in Orlando they are GREAT! You can find a local APR dealer on their website goAPR.com
Fungist aka (B-laze) it can't reset back to stock because the original map is long gone deleted an another map uploaded the only way to get the original map back is to have it written back on
Could be compressure surge? I've noticed when deciding to go FAST in the GTI you have to COMMIT any fluctuating of the accelerator will cause chirping from the compressor side of the turbo! And the needle will jump around. So push hard keep it up when accelerating level off when reaching desired speed gradually😁 IN 6 GEAR ⚙️
Besides this guy not knowing what IN HG stands for, I find it hilarious he put a boost gauge on an automatic. Yes I know it's a DSG, and yes I know it comes stock with a turbo. Nothing like a true manual transmission. And don't start the bullshit about it being able to shift three hundredths of a second faster. Although I'm sure he has a Heliogram chart to prove me wrong.
I dont know is it everything ok with your car or it's not with mine.I have 2008 Espace 2.0 dci and I make 22.5 psi on stage 1 on every gear.Why dont you have any boost until 4 gear?
Once you reach top speed the Turbo is not needed so it levels off But 1 believe in my KO4 GTI MkV it's about 21 to 22 for MAX BOOST even though it will read like 25-28 for brief moments while charging 🏁🏎🏇🏻
Zack V i have tbe apr stage 2 and did the high flow cat on their down pipe.. usually goes with the tune anyway i think.. but after that one cat. shes straight piped.. if i were you id go stage 2 plus .. thats the tune intake exhaust and fuel system.. its a snappy fun car and you'll enjoy the hell out of it
Bradley B-rad Mangadi it takes some time or it would be a lot of moolah. For APR stage 1 all you need is a re-flash of your ECU cost varies but on sale about $600 only AND you don't NEED anything else?! It's recommended to get a COLD AIR INTAKE but that just helps the air become denser for the TURBO to work better. APR stage 2 You HAVE to drop your STOCK DownPipe and get a straight TEST PIPE is best or a HIGH FLO PERFORMANCE DP I have the test pipe it's 3" and makes it sound great but still pretty cheap about $700 more you also MUST have a COLD AIR INTAKE too not an option anymore - a Front Mounted InterCooler is recommended but not NECESSARY. For APR STAGE 2 plus means you must BUY a BRAND NEW FSI HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP from APR reassembled so it produces 1900 psi it's the Audi FSI stock pump just boosted up so it's about $900 this time a FULL PERFORMANCE EXHAUST is recommended but again NOT necessary however the FMIC is for STAGE 2 PLUS is mandatory. NOW to be stage KO4 you have to have EVERYTHING so far mentioned installed and you buy the KO4 kit from APR for about $4,000 it comes with high flow Bosch injectors and all the plumbing necessary to install right into your GTI it fits as it's all OEM is just the Audi S3 TURBO minus the turbo muffler (Audi folks value quiet😄) it really sounds cool as it whines as little no worries😎 that's APR you fine their website at www.goAPR.com look up a dealer near where you live on that site and check them out APR software is completely safe will not blow engines that's why they build racecars for VW. IT feels like factory precision better gas mileage and better PERFORMANCE. 👍🤜🤛🤘🤙👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I'm running 19 at stage 1 Lol. Revo is by far the most aggressive and I out ran an M3 (2004)
THERE'S THE BOOST!!
haha hilarious
This video is kinda hard to watch but I'm glad the guy is loving his car it's awesome! Despite not knowing much
"Heliograms"? thats inches of mercury..... lol just an FYI
yea seriously...
Hes been buying and smoking too many heliograms
Cool sound
Yo, it's ya boy, Max Boost.
I love that sound *

Need that euro switch

the car sounds great...
is tht because running full APR exhaust?
Your exhaust sounds badass! Why do you need that boost, if you already have turbocharge? I`m not a car buff at all.

***** Also what year GTI is it and have you had any reliability problems?
Why is there a vacuum on the throttle I have the same car and same boost gauge
Anytime you're not pushing the throttle it should be like negative 19 or 20 when you're at idle
I have a cold air intake So that might mean it moves more air?
Make sure because New South Performance MADE 2 different kinds one shows the inches in mercury Hg which is negative boost and then PSI which is positive
Boost
Most Turbo gages start to at 0.

You should have vacuum on the boost if it's attached correctly when at idle.
Also open up your hood and listen for air escape but you could just have to block off some area where the air is coming out or get a new boost gauge.
Where do you get that euro switch. How come my GTI didn`t come with it? I have a 2013 GTI.
I just saw you I wanted to ask about stage 3 and your lights
what sort of mpg you get if drinving nice around? did it change from remap?
could u let me know some figures?? Thanks
Actually you will get 1 to 4 mpgs better at stage 1 or better

Maybe he wants to see how much boost he’s making? Or if he has a leak but I guess since it’s an auto those things don’t matter
