I agree with you on going standard over XL. How has it held up after 3 years?
Definitely puts a smile on the face! Im on my 3rd revision and did my first race against a e55 amg and got him by about 2 cars 😂
You're going to have fun with it man.. Drive safe!.
I’m going with the standard also with the HPFP & 2.5” discharge pipes. These set ups are expensive with the Cobb AP, custom E tune, DSG tune, discharge pipes, HPFP, intercooler, down pipe, intake, NGK plugs your looking at some coin. Then install glad I’m handy with a wrench
Your gonna love it I’m gonna be getting back to posting soon. I’m on e30 now things a monster.!
@@F87Jake Dude you should post more, stay safe & remember Mexico is getting hot / rough deez dayz. Enjoy the ride, build her for every day enjoyment that will last. Be safe & be fast but you got nothing to prove my brother. Get some 245 35 18 Michelin ps4’s, good rotors cryo slotted W/ EBC red stuff pads cause these Lil things W/ 420+ get up to speed quick!
If apr would offer the beans for the gti it would only cost like 5k for 4-500hp but they only offer the good stuff for the r
Man the drone in your cabin is vibrating my ears through my headphones lol

@@F87Jake are you going upload more videos? Content is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

@@F87Jake ahhhh yeah. That modified life. 🏎👌
Vortex Standard Housing Gang represent!
I’m on the fence between building my motor/ head and doing a full frame or doing a vortex xl on stock motor and putting that extra money towards trading in for an rs3 or f82 m4 in a few years
Personally I would never build a FWD car with high horsepower just due to how much you will spin. Better off building an s3 or R. Nothing wrong with going xl and stock motor.
@@F87Jake that’s most likely what I’m gonna do. Enjoy the car for a bit with that setup then eventually move on to a faster platform
Keep positing dawg
Any more/new vids of this car? This seems to be the most recent video available of it on your channel (now 2yrs old) Just checking up! ✌
What was the reasoning behind going with the standard housing vs. the XL housing? Spool time/low end torque? Trying to decide which turbo to move onto in my MK7 GTI and I am thinking the EQT Vortex XL is the best option out there
Why would you go XL? The standard holds boost to 7000 RPM and can make enough boost to scatter your connecting rods on the pavement. Not sure why anyone would want an XL unless they have a built bottom end. And even then if you're putting it in a GTI you'd still be doing burnouts at 80mph
For most of us who elect for the standard:
-Better street manners (earlier spooling)
-Runs beautifully up to ~29psi
-Most of us running standard are out for 28-29psi pro tunes on 91-93 octane
-The option to add MPI & a bigger LPFP later for E85 use is always there, but not mandatory
-You can get away with using the stock MAP & PUT sensors with the standard Vortex
-Fewer supporting mods overall are needed: MPI, discharge pipes, and in many cases even a larger LPFP, are not requirements for the Vortex standard
The XL (EQT and XL customers have confirmed this) is ideal for folks wanting to go BEYOND the 29psi threshold. You can spin a standard to 31psi, but it's most within its efficiency range at 28-29psi. The XL exists for folks wanting to break 500-550whp on E-blend fuels. The added fuel mass of the ethanol really wakes up some of the larger turbos and allows them to spool up earlier. On pump gas they tend to be [i.e. "feel"] a lot lazier.
That said, I think the XL is great for Golf R and Audi Quattro owners who can UTILIZE that insane power, but for us FWD GTI folks, the Standard with a pro-tune and HPFP is the sweet spot. Still makes power out to 7200rpm (well beyond the IS38's profile that falls off after ~6000), and I don't have to push my SBE (stock bottom end) too hard - we tune the IS38 and Vortex standard so it stays around 420-430wtq to preserve the pistons and rods.
Hit the 👍 if this comment helped you.
What did happen With your gti? Never a dyno test or any quarter mille drag race....
After the revision tune we need some races against v8s!!!!
Might have one or 2 races with a hellcat sitting aside for the next vid🤫
@@F87Jake good looks
Do you need the low and high fuel pumps for 400hp I’m looking to get a gti and build it just trying to make a list of everything I’ve gotta do
no, hpfp on pump gas on a standard vortex will make 450+
How was sneekytuned scp with your catted downpipe any issues with cat?
How's the car holding up,
Your running RS3 spark Plugs with Vortex Standard Turbo? Is that what they recommend or is that what you had and they just tuned it to your specific spark plug? I'm looking into the Vortex also. But on the list of recommendation is says NGK race plug if you use a Vortex Turbo, and RS7 plugs if it's a stock turbo?
I'm running RS3 Coils and Brisk rs10s sparks.
How much boost broski ?
Which lpfp did you go with? Did you do a pm4?
I run a A2b RS3 retrofit lpfp and it comes with a controller
Have you gotten the car tuned yet? I though the eqt was good for more than 400whp especially with those mods
This video was on the base map where my output should be around 400whp. I will make around 440 whp once I am finished tuning.
@@F87Jake awesome! That’s what I thought. Good stuff man
@@NoN_228 I’m with both actually. 93 oct EQT and E30 blend Sneekytuned
@@F87Jake which one do you like better
@@hoppern0627@thatwhitemk7353 ??
Tuner?
EQT
@@F87Jake good stuff same
@@F87Jake How do you compare Sneeky vs EQT, just curious because you switched over.
@@michaelb9428 didn’t switch over. I’m with sneeky still on e30z But on 93 I’m with EQT.
@@F87Jake Sounds good, just curious how the tunes compare, everyone saying EQT is super smooth, but it's hard to get a real feel for the tune as everyone is EQT overboard.
