A quick question. After upgrading the turbo on my A3 from an is12 to an is20, will I still be able to drive it with the standard software? I am getting a tune, but Im installing the turbo myself and will need to drive to the tuner.
Just finished this job on my 2015 S3. It was BY FAR the most difficult job I've ever done on my car....and I've changed out A LOT of things on my S3. Everything went smooth until it came time to remove the coolant pipe from behind the turbo. It took myself and my bro in law a total of about 3 hours to remove it. Listen to when he says "i had a tech with an older gen S3 and it was damn near impossible for him". He wasn't kidding. The good news is that anything else i have to do on this car will be CHILD'S PLAY after this job. If you're NOT mechanically inclined and don't have the PROPER tools don't even ATTEMPT this job.....
i used the handle on a rubber mallet to wedge between the pipe and turbo to get leverage to pop this out, took me about 3 hours including help from my dad, i unfortunately am not upgrading but replacing so this is very unfun
I consider myself mechanically inclined and have done tons of engine work over the years. I was considering doing this swap myself, but it looks like a HUGE pain. At least a 24 beer job.
Heads up for anyone else doing this procedure -- a long, narrow 8mm triple square is IMPERATIVE for that turbo oil drain line bracket. A 3/8" triple square socket will not fit past the waste gate rod. Thanks for this video, it was very helpful for the is38 install! Also, a stubby 8mm triple square is great for the coolant line on the back and front as there's not much room for a longer tool in either location.
I'm impressed. As a life long tech who thinks he knows more than every other tech, I rate this tutorial. There was a few miniscule things I do/did to removed my turbos but nothing that different.
I just want to give a huge thank you for this video. I just pulled my turbo off, replacing the downpipe at the same time. I URGE anyone doing this if you are stock downpipe, get an upgrade. That 8mm triple square on the bottom of the turbo was so much easier from the bottom with the driveshaft and exhaust out the way. I’m semi mechanic savvy, never worked on a VW though. Had my car running and driving to exhaust and turbo out in about 4 working hours. Followed this video to a T, and I don’t know that I could have figured it all out without it. Y’all are awesome!
So I've been using all your vids as a template to mod my gli 35,and wanna thank you. I did have my dealership do my clutch,but I've done my intercooler, downpipe and my is38 from your vids alone pretty much. A huge thank you
for those who have not had to actually do this, those lower triple square bolts for the turbo line are insanely annoying and difficult to get to from the top. if you have a lift its easier to get to them from underneath rather than from the top. Paul made them look easy but im pretty sure he struggled quite a bit off camera( love ya buddy).
I just did this install and the easiest way to get that gotten screw was actually with a lot of extensions go from underneath the car and feed it up. Surprisingly easier as you can actually see the screw head. Made the removal and install way nicer.
I did this on a non MQB MK6 GLI if any of you guys are looking for a different route if you aren't MQB. Making 370HP on a stage 2 JB4 stack on my GLI! Hope it helps guys. Love the video btw very straight forward!
Very Cool they favorited! I watch your vids and plan to do the IS20/38 swap sometime soon. Awesome to see you here too. Thats awesome they faved. Cool stuff
Did a turbo swap (on a 1.9TDI from 2004) and honestly, it isn't as hard as you might think. A lift is essential though. Don't even think about trying it without one. If you do have one, it's about 6 hrs of work if you kind of know what you're doing. Download a manual if you don't get one with the new turbo, it really helps a lot and makes you move a lot quicker. In the end saved me about 500 bucks, really worth to try yourself.
I've got a 1.8tsi that's coming up to the end of warranty. I was worried about working on it myself but this makes it look doable with close attention to details. Subbed and thanks.
Just finished this install... main issues were getting the bottom line to seat right, took about an hour, and I recommend pulling out all the coil packs because I ended up cracking the little housing for the connector on install and there’s a little cap that’s like a coolant vent thing that we also broke on install, we went from the is12 to the IS38
@@isaacarroyo7122 the 6-speed on the mk7 has very weak clutch springs so it doesn’t hold torque well past stage 1. It’s a very long and complicated install. The only thing required for the dsg models is a tcu tune unless you go for a big turbo (bigger than a hybrid is38) which is pretty rare. Even then upgraded clutch packs aren’t necessary
Great video. Wish we had this video a month ago when i helped a buddy install his is38. We went to torque the mounting bolts on and snapped a bolt off in the block.
You are a lifesaver!! Had done my 2wd Is38 and was ok Did my 19 Tiguan and was easier than expected thanks to your video Tiguan has a little more clearance between turbo and firewall
Thanks for the help! I did mine last weekend after watching this. Hardest part for me was the solenoids on the valve cover electrical connectors lock tabs were a pain to release. The bottom turbo coolant line can be gotten to from down below with the DP out. I couldn't find it blind from up top. Remove the upper easier turbo coolant line 1st and u can push it out of the way to see the other line easier. Hardest part hands down was like the video....getting the damn turbo out! Tight fit! Oddly the is38+ went in very easily. It was a huge bitch to prime the system. Fuel pump disconnected & fuel pump module fuse out kept starting for ages! Happy boosting everyone!
Great DIY video. I finally did this about 2 months ago but to IS20, also without removing the downpipe or without removing the coolant and oil lines from the block, is much easier..., this video is a great summary of how to do it, thanks 🙏🏻!
Very involved process, but worth the effort. One thing I did, was replaced all the allen and triple square fasteners to normal six point fasteners. It makes working so much easier…
FYI....I have a USP downpipe on my quattro A3, I can pull the head pipe portion up through the top of the engine bay once the clamp down below is removed from the midpipe. No need to remove the driveshaft. Might be different with other dp's but works with my USP anyway. Saves a lot of messing around with the driveshaft. Also I don't know why everyone insists on taking the o2 sensor off while the turbo is on the car, it's a pain for most people and not necessary. Once the turbo is off use a long wrench and tap the end of the wrench with a hammer and the sensor spins right out. Put the o2 sensor on the new turbo off the car as well. So much easier.
Just finished replacing my turbo with a stock one cause my wastegate actuator rod snapped clean in half. This project is a complete nightmare and you could not pay me to do this again. I do appreciate this video but it really under sells how difficult it really is cause he makes it look so easy. My car drove on salted roads for 17k miles and nothing that was removed easily in this vid came out that easy irl.
Did this on a GTI and the IHI is38 I installed blewup a few months later. Had to do the whole proccess again and reinstall the stock is20. Now going to a hybid turbo and dreading the install.. Considering just paying a shop to do it at this point.
First let me say love the channel please keep it up really saves me a lot of money, my question to you is I have a 2017 mk 7 gti s and I see oil leaking around where the turbo mount to the engine you have ever seen this before. Pretty sure you have seen this before because you are very knowable on these vehicles can you please help and thanks in advance
If either of you had been watching the series, you'll know they didn't do this until after they received CEL and limp mode on the track multiple times. (Edit: misread above, my bad).
For the bottom lines there is enough slack once removed from the engine to spin it around and disconnect the bottom lines. Saves you so much time and problems. The hard part is putting the bottom line back in place.
@deutchautoparts can you put the waste gate actuator mod in the correct place in this install video not at the end, I assembled everything then had to disassemble it to correct it, really messed up my flow bro, thanks
I wouldnt go as far as to say they are the same engine, there are normally differences in the quality of materials used. They still can safely hold the power, however.
@Deutscheautoparts How much power will the IS38 add? Is there fueling upgrades needed? Would Golf R heads add power? Thx Paul and everyone at DAP, you guys rock!
For the 2.0t the is38 stock will make 360whp with APR's OTS is38 tune. You can add JB4 and make more power, or get a hybrid turbo, use other software etc
Like whoa!! That's definitely a lot of work. Surprised u didn't just go to a IS38 directly from stock. Either way, I'm sure it's good for quite a few more HP than IS20 it had before. Also, was it just me or did that Alltrack look a little rusted out for being such a new car to market?
I had the opportunity to go is38..cause my stock IS20 tookl a dump on me...But really so extra...its 100 hp...so that really doea sound enticing..but so much has to be done along with instalation and sorftware upgrades...so i decode to just replace stock IS20....running with a JB4..downpipe,stage 2 clutch rated at 400 TQ......i was ready drivetrainwise for the IS38...but really..if im gonna put 3 or 4 grand more into my car...ill put that money together and get the supreme GTI..Golf R....and done...Is38...
The turbo support bracket upper bolt (turbo to bracket) was 6mm allen on my 2016 Audi TT, not 7mm as spoken in this video. Not sure if GTIs are 7. The replacement bolt in the parts kit was also 6mm.
how did you mount the IS38 if the mounting is different on the IS20? one is a twinscroll and the other is not , dont you need to replace the exhaust manifold also ?
I live in the Bahamas and I watch your videos all the time but I have a question for you I have a 2008 vw golf Tsi from Japan but I need transmission is there any transmission in the us could fit it ?
ive been a stance kid my whole life. I never did anything to my engine except maybe a cold air filter but really, its a hot air filter bc it doesnt have a heat shield etc, basically a ebay air filter. I am pretty new about upgrading turbos and or adding more power in general. I just have some questions if someone can be patient enough w me haha. I have a mk7 1.8 5spd and I was wondering if I needed a tune and upgraded fuel injectors after upgrading my mk7 turbo to even just a is20 rather than a is38? or does it depend of which turbo i upgrade to also, would I have to get new internals to my engine if Im going to a is20 or is38 upgrade? or does that also depend on which turbo i upgrade to? would I then also need to upgrade my clutch? thanks for being patient with me! and I dont doubt that I would probably come back to this comment and ask some more questions if I ever think of more questions.
Thanks for yet another great video! I recently got myself a mk7 GTI and am planning on this upgrade, among many other things. I am curious if the kits that add an additional 4 fuel injectors can be used to supply the additional fuel needed for this turbo upgrade. From what I’ve been able to find it seems like it is just used for running E85. My thoughts are that not only could that allow E85 but also function as a hybrid direct / port injection system. Supplying the necessary extra fuel and keeping the valves clean from carbon buildup. As the kits run about the same as a carbon cleaning in my area it seems like a good solution if it is actually possible to get software that supports it. Any clue if this has been done or if it is possible?
Hi! In Europe all cars with these engines have direct + MPI. It extends fuel system capacity (no it is not for E85). No special software is required - just enabling this function in ECU. Any tuner in the EU will do it.
@@sebayoutub do you happen to know if this is something that can be enabled via OBDeleven or VAGCOM? I live in the states and am only finding the ability to enable it with a custom tune. Eventually I’ll be getting one but I have to space things out. Adding this as one step rather than part of another, more expensive modification makes it a bit more difficult for me currently.
Great video, what tune would you guys recommend for a 17 GTI with PP 6-Speed? I’m leaning towards UM $600 tune which bumps up HP/Torque a good bit. Thoughts or recommendations?
hey guys i really like the channel, love the content, you guys are great. please can you do some work on one of the lesser known vw engine platforms, specifically the 2013mk6 golf with the 2.5 5 cylinder. there are a whole bunch of us who cant afford the gti right off the hop, so we are slowly modding as we can. a six speed swap would be really cool, JDL top mount turbo kit for the 5 cylinder is a work of art. maybe a gti bumper conversion, gti seats in the base would also be a cool instal. thank you for making great content!
Allan Zepeda yeah but 8 psi is no fun, the plastic manifold will take about 23 psi before it pops. Check out the JDL top mount turbo kit for 2.5 platform.
Thanks for this video, very informative! If I was going to do a turbo swap (IS20 to IS38) and a downpipe install, at the same time....could I pull the stock downpipe out through the top of the engine (as long as I had pulled the turbo out first of course) as opposed to through the bottom? OR is the stock cat big enough to where you couldn't pull it out that way? I would really love to know the answer to that.
whats the HP increase when you replace the turbo on a 1.8 2019 alltrack with a IS38 turbo?? What other items must be added or replaced so the IS38 turbo functions correctly??......What is the total cost, parts and labor??......this 2019 Alltrack has a manual transmission....... in plane english please......thank you
Is there a way to do an is38 on a 2017 GLI without switching all the piping around? Or do i need to find another route for a turbo upgrade? It would be nice if Apr dropped a bolt on replacement for my car due to me having stage 1 ecu/tcu…. But they don’t

Like whoa!! That's definitely a lot of work. Surprised u didn't just go to a IS38 directly from stock. Either way, I'm sure it's good for quite a few more HP than IS20 it had before. Also, was it just me or did that Alltrack look a little rusted out for being such a new car to market?
I had the opportunity to go is38..cause my stock IS20 tookl a dump on me...But really so extra...its 100 hp...so that really doea sound enticing..but so much has to be done along with instalation and sorftware upgrades...so i decode to just replace stock IS20....running with a JB4..downpipe,stage 2 clutch rated at 400 TQ......i was ready drivetrainwise for the IS38...but really..if im gonna put 3 or 4 grand more into my car...ill put that money together and get the supreme GTI..Golf R....and done...Is38...
4-6 hrs start to finish. Took me and a friend 4.5 with breaks😉
Paul Williams what size triple square was that ?
The turbo support bracket upper bolt (turbo to bracket) was 6mm allen on my 2016 Audi TT, not 7mm as spoken in this video. Not sure if GTIs are 7. The replacement bolt in the parts kit was also 6mm.
😂😂 that Interstellar reference 🤣🤣🤣🤣
how did you mount the IS38 if the mounting is different on the IS20? one is a twinscroll and the other is not , dont you need to replace the exhaust manifold also ?

I live in the Bahamas and I watch your videos all the time but I have a question for you I have a 2008 vw golf Tsi from Japan but I need transmission is there any transmission in the us could fit it ?
I have to ask... Is it worth it? How do you get all the pieces (screws, clips, hoses) back in the right places?
I have a mk7.5 1.4 golf sport wagon. Could I put the is38 on? Is there a tune I could use as well?
It looks like there is a row of injectors in the back, do they have to be removed to get the turbo out?
Do you know if the original waste gate actuator from my is20 will work on the is38?
Which tune did you go with? I didn’t hear it mentioned
ive been a stance kid my whole life. I never did anything to my engine except maybe a cold air filter but really, its a hot air filter bc it doesnt have a heat shield etc, basically a ebay air filter. I am pretty new about upgrading turbos and or adding more power in general. I just have some questions if someone can be patient enough w me haha.
I have a mk7 1.8 5spd and I was wondering if I needed a tune and upgraded fuel injectors after upgrading my mk7 turbo to even just a is20 rather than a is38? or does it depend of which turbo i upgrade to
also, would I have to get new internals to my engine if Im going to a is20 or is38 upgrade? or does that also depend on which turbo i upgrade to?
would I then also need to upgrade my clutch?
thanks for being patient with me! and I dont doubt that I would probably come back to this comment and ask some more questions if I ever think of more questions.
Can you install this turbo on gen 2 Volkswagen cc ? Would that be a good idea instead of a k04
You can't
Gen2 CC gang
Lol thanks. I've been waiting for this video.
Thanks for yet another great video!
I recently got myself a mk7 GTI and am planning on this upgrade, among many other things. I am curious if the kits that add an additional 4 fuel injectors can be used to supply the additional fuel needed for this turbo upgrade. From what I’ve been able to find it seems like it is just used for running E85. My thoughts are that not only could that allow E85 but also function as a hybrid direct / port injection system. Supplying the necessary extra fuel and keeping the valves clean from carbon buildup. As the kits run about the same as a carbon cleaning in my area it seems like a good solution if it is actually possible to get software that supports it.
Any clue if this has been done or if it is possible?
Hi! In Europe all cars with these engines have direct + MPI. It extends fuel system capacity (no it is not for E85). No special software is required - just enabling this function in ECU. Any tuner in the EU will do it.
@@sebayoutub do you happen to know if this is something that can be enabled via OBDeleven or VAGCOM? I live in the states and am only finding the ability to enable it with a custom tune. Eventually I’ll be getting one but I have to space things out. Adding this as one step rather than part of another, more expensive modification makes it a bit more difficult for me currently.
Great video, what tune would you guys recommend for a 17 GTI with PP 6-Speed? I’m leaning towards UM $600 tune which bumps up HP/Torque a good bit. Thoughts or recommendations?
What kind of cold air intake is that? It looks more efficient then other ones on the market.
hey guys i really like the channel, love the content, you guys are great. please can you do some work on one of the lesser known vw engine platforms, specifically the 2013mk6 golf with the 2.5 5 cylinder. there are a whole bunch of us who cant afford the gti right off the hop, so we are slowly modding as we can. a six speed swap would be really cool, JDL top mount turbo kit for the 5 cylinder is a work of art. maybe a gti bumper conversion, gti seats in the base would also be a cool instal. thank you for making great content!
Bumpers fit well, and the rear spoiler sells for $130 online. All fits in well 😁
I know the C2 Turbo is old and has had issues with lines leaking. But keeping it at 8psi max is safe
Allan Zepeda yeah but 8 psi is no fun, the plastic manifold will take about 23 psi before it pops. Check out the JDL top mount turbo kit for 2.5 platform.
Very interesting. How do you remember to hook everything back after?
Going to be attempting this on my 2019 GLI...wish me luck haha
are you done yet?
excellent video
How long labour time need to replacement Turbo
Thanks for this video, very informative!
If I was going to do a turbo swap (IS20 to IS38) and a downpipe install, at the same time....could I pull the stock downpipe out through the top of the engine (as long as I had pulled the turbo out first of course) as opposed to through the bottom? OR is the stock cat big enough to where you couldn't pull it out that way?
I would really love to know the answer to that.
Are you AWD or RWD, and do you have a high enough lift to do that?
whats the HP increase when you replace the turbo on a 1.8 2019 alltrack with a IS38 turbo?? What other items must be added or replaced so the IS38 turbo functions correctly??......What is the total cost, parts and labor??......this 2019 Alltrack has a manual transmission.......
in plane english please......thank you
Is there a way to do an is38 on a 2017 GLI without switching all the piping around? Or do i need to find another route for a turbo upgrade? It would be nice if Apr dropped a bolt on replacement for my car due to me having stage 1 ecu/tcu…. But they don’t
