I finally got my big bore inlet pipe after about 2 months of waiting, let me tell you, that had to be the most frustrating part I’ve ever tried to install. I was ready to give up on it lmao. I tried one day for like 2 hours and couldn’t get the stock one off, woke up the next day and said to myself “I’m getting this put in no matter how long it takes me”. Well it took me about 3ish hours. I ended up taking off a couple other parts that’s not mentioned in the instructions which helped out a lot. It was well worth it, videos definitely don’t do the sound difference justice.
Lol it took be 2 tries and several hours for me ! I completely understand . You’re also 100% right this video does not do it justice ! Enjoy it ! I sure am. I feel like mine has even gotten better with time
Haha any future person or if you ever need to access that again a 1/4 ratchet with a 4 in extension works well, you need to come in beside your brake fluid reservoir and get in from there I put mine on a couple nights ago and was having the same problem haha
So I know this video is a year old and my jetta is just my daily but i started messing with it and now I can't stop 😅 quality vid and thanks for convincing me what the next mod is gonna be 🤣
Hey check out my channel . I made videos of almost all of my mods. In short, yes I am stage 2. I’ll be making a “ mod list “ video in the coming weeks. Just waiting on some more mods to arrive.
Hello! I love your videos! I have a mk6.5 Jetta and looking to go stage 2 I noticed you’re already stage 2 I have the unitronic 3” Dow pipe and unitronic cold air intake. Was just wondering if this has messed with the reliability of your Jetta in any way??
Hey thank you for your support! I got so many helpful videos on here . To answer your question , is if you do proper and early maintenance and don’t do things like lugging the engine , you’ll be fine.
I also have a automatic Jetta the same year I was wondering if you have to drive in manual mode to get the full performance or can you drive in sport mode?
What would u recommend to do if I want to put a turbo inlet on my 16 vw Jetta 1.4 T should I install my coil packs n spark plugs first or it doesn’t matter
Great video. This gets me hyped for an inlet. I just have AWE Track Exhaust and IE Intake. I did get the Unitronic downpipe, but totally forgot about the emissions crap here, so I'll have to get rid of it. Next step might be the inlet, some wheels and a tune... any other recommendations? Also, I think I may have some boost leak too.
Hey thank you! Well, first priority should be locating and fixing that boost leak! Those suck and make you slower. Too bad you have to get rid of the downpipe. The downpipe also makes the turbo louder. But get the inlet for sure, it'll be worth it. It's affordable too. I like lowered cars so if you are in to that, lower it and get some nice light weight wheels. But you seem to have everything in heading in the right direction. Check out my other videos if you want to see what else I have done
Engines are the same with the exception of the turbo, the charge pipe/intake setup and placement, and coding. There’s a few other things but nothing to crazy. The inlet doesn’t fit on the mk7 because vw made a revision. I think you can buy intakes that go right to the turbo but I could be wrong. I’m trying to find a local mk7 Jetta guy so we can compare cars and parts and fitment . In short, no all the mods don’t fit. But some could. If you buy parts that do fit. My car / the sound , would be the result
Hey dude! I'm from Brazil and watched your video, I thought the inlet was really cool! Congratulations on your car! I have a golf mk7 german model 1.4 year 2014 with turbo compressor IHI. I am afraid to buy this ticket does not fit in the car. Here in Brazil there is a very limited number of parts for performance on 1.4 engines. Do you think this entry would fit in my car?
Hello and thank you !! The only true way to know is you email ecstuning and ask, I am not sure what kind of turbo inlet they use. I recommend you get the part number of your OEM turbo inlet and compare it online with the North American one. Then email them . They should be able to answer that question or help!
Hi, i have golf 7 1.4 tsi 122hp year 2015. The engine seems to be the same. Ea211 cmba. Is this compatible? Many thanks and congratulations. Very good work.
Hey awesome car, unfortunately vw likes to switch up the intake and exhaust setups on these cars. So this doesn’t fit. The only way to find out is to compare your oem inlet to this one or match part numbers
The cluster is easy, the actual gauge to read properly is tricky. boost gauge basically the same install on all vehicles. I took it to a shop because I didn't want to play with it . I have a video of me installing the pods
Yo that setup is so amazing I’ve been trying to find anyway possible to make my 1.4t push more power but I haven’t been able to find and aftermarket turbos, can you please tell me a little about what you did to your car
Hey, go check out my channel, you will find ALL your answers :) Thank YOU! FYI we don't have any US spec turbos for the 1.4. Custom or EU hybrid. But no one is doing it. Maybe I will
Unitronic makes a nice stage 1 tune that gets you 35hp and 50ftlb of torque. Which doesn’t sound like a lot but Jetta’s are relatively light cars. You definitely feel the difference.
@@mitchellkarns2397 always Black Friday , Christmas, new year. The rest are random but worth the wait. Save some money . Just what I would do. I try to save whenever possible
That's a very good question. Installing my downpipe was easier than installing this inlet. However, if I was given the opportunity to do it again but I know what I know now, I would still do it. I will leave you with this, it's a very affordable mod but I spent too much time installing it so hopefully my videos are helpful so you don't spend so much time installing it and get it right the first time. I enjoy every aspect of cars so to me, it was worth it.
@@Shane458b I got the first batch, so I got the shorter stick. Plus , I was one of the first to install it. So it made it harder. The intake/wastegate/turbo noises I hear everyday, pays dividends daily. So I don't regret it! Good luck
@@Shane458b yes it is. Well you can judge that for yourself. The beginning of the install, there's revving and in this video there revving too. Maybe I need a side by side comparison?
I just installed the forge dump valve last weekend, currently waiting on my turbo inlet and intake boots from ecs(keeping stock air box but I’ve put the K&N dron in filter in) and honestly after hearing this I may just pull the dump valve off the charge pipe and plug the hole up that it goes in because this sounds as good if not better
@@MK6CHRIS yeah the silicone intake boots are supposed to be shipping with the turbo inlet. In the next few months I plan on doing the down pipe along with a awe track cat back and the unitronic stage 2. Watching your stuff has kind of gotten me off the fence about this stuff
@@claytonholliday2013 Glad to hear that! Awesome. You might be waiting a while for that inlet tho... I can't imagine what the track exhaust with downpipe will be like. I only have the touring
@@MK6CHRIS Yeah I ordered the dump valve silicone intake boots and turbo inlet all together and they all said they wouldn’t even ship until late May but then my dump valve randomly showed up the other day so I have a little hope. I love the touring but I know if I get it I’ll eventually want the track, I really wish unitronic would sell a catless downpipe though, that would be epic
@@MK6CHRIS I have the CTS catted downpipe with the AWE Track. Shit is loud. Too loud for my taste. Putting stock downpipe back next Tuesday. Let you know if that's any better
If you have a little time would there be any way to do another sound clip video? Maybe a few outside the car revs and some cruising with windows down and stuff 👍🏻 im having a friend help with this install hopefully soon, in the meantime was hoping maybe to hear a few more clips 👍🏻🔥
Yes for sure. That's a great idea. Plus, I think it's gotten louder. I'll make that video this week. There's a couple of outside revs at the end. Did you see those?
I rarely visit Mexico and I spend most of my time in Florida . So winter/colder weather doesn’t exist. If it gets into the 30-40 degree range, the car loves it and performs even better . This weather is very rare.
@@MK6CHRIS you are blessed with nice weather year around 😂 but where I live my weather could get to below zero which kinda makes me think that if modifying my 2016 VW Jetta 1.4 TSI is safe?
@@sheldonseals7656 trust me my friend, humidity isn't a blessing LOL. The car should be 'okay' as long as you warm it up properly and take extra care of the car. For example, more proper oil changes.
Your 1.4 TSI with the big bore turbo inlet pipe does not sound any different than mine does with just a Intake and stock inlet pipe. Honestly I think its your intake thats makinv that sound not your inlet pipe. I have a MK 6 Jetta with the 1.4 TSi .
Videos don’t do the turbo inlet any justice, so that’s easy for you to say. I have plenty of other videos on here to compare the noise. This inlet makes the whole forced induction system louder. It makes the turbo and intake flow so much better and so much louder. My turbo is definitely more audible than yours. Even when my car turns on , you can tell the difference. Idk if I included that in this video but it’s on my Instagram and everyone could tell the difference right away
Damn, I didn't realize these things ran such high boost! That's pretty awesome. I imagine the stock turbo is rather small, but the exhaust housing flows pretty well if you're able to hold 27 psi at redline!
Yeah my stage 2 pushes 27psi. It's mind blowing, especially on such a tiny turbo . Since the 3inch downpipe is a lot larger, it flows very well with my full 2.5in exhaust
@@MK6CHRIS Just for reference, I used to have a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX. It came stock with some kind of tiny Garrett T25 turbo, on a 2L engine; with absolutely no wastegate control whatsoever, that thing would drop to like 10 PSI by 7500 RPM. The exhaust housing was simply too small to flow enough gas to maintain 15 PSI of boost. It seems your turbo is much better designed to operate at such a high boost pressure. That's good to see! That means not only is it operating fairly efficiently from a compressor perspective, but also it's flowing enough exhaust gas as to not be overwhelmed. I'm really impressed! The fact that you added these mods to it and it still manages those boost levels is really impressive. I think this 1.4T engine is a really good engine. I think good gains can be had from a better intercooler solution, even with this stock turbo. Then the next step would be to put a bigger turbo on (not sure if anyone is doing this) and finding out what breaks! :P Seriously though, I think this is a pretty impressive engine considering it's fuel economy roots. I love this kind of stuff! I once had a Geo Metro 3-cylinder with go-fast parts!
@@rars0n yeah the GSX and a lot of other cars from that company didn’t really have good turbo set ups. But once you modified them, they were insane! I’ll probably get a hybrid turbo or maybe get a custom flange for something else. Depends, no one is really “ doing it “ . If they are, they aren’t documenting it like I do here. This 1.4T is really impressive , it was born from a 1.4T twin charger from over seas, so this block has seen lots of boost. Volkswagen made lots of improvements before dropping it here in the states. Really impressive for a tiny engine . Doesn’t sound half bad either
@@joeycorsi9142 Actually my afr was rich not lean! I looked it up. It is stock fuel system. I'm on E30. So mostly 93oct + E85. Check out my channel. I have an OTS tune. Probably custom soon unless the company wants to work with me
@@MK6CHRIS I just looked it up to and you are correct haha now I feel dumb I’m a damn mechanic myself how dare I switch up such a small and easy detail still tho better rich than lean ya know!!

I think it’s 27psi including the atmospheric pressure so it would be roughly 12-13 psi of turbo boost
I thought that too but the gauge isn't reading the vacuum properly. Many stage 2 guys are around 24psi. I'll fix it sooner or later
I would appreciate a breakdown of everything from stock to where you are now. Every part i am new to cars usually have trucks and bought a 16 1.4t

Yeah it did. Strange too . Could have been a number of things
What injectors and pump are you running for e85 and is it a OTS tune or was it tuned on a dyno?
@@joeycorsi9142 Actually my afr was rich not lean! I looked it up. It is stock fuel system. I'm on E30. So mostly 93oct + E85. Check out my channel. I have an OTS tune. Probably custom soon unless the company wants to work with me
@@MK6CHRIS I always thought lower numbers were lean and higher number were to much fuel and not enough air? Hmm 🤔
@@MK6CHRIS I just looked it up to and you are correct haha now I feel dumb I’m a damn mechanic myself how dare I switch up such a small and easy detail still tho better rich than lean ya know!!
