He might just want to listen and concentrate driving the car then talking. I know when I have my girlfriend in my R it drives me crazy and not in a good way.
Great looking R! Trying to imagine what a pull with a 500HP R feels like. I have a stage 1+ Mk7 GLI and it pulls pretty well but I’m sure it’s nothing like this R. Congrats to the owner. Well done sir!
Just goes to show u these cars are for all ages! I’m an old fuck my self at 45 and I just bought a mk7 3 weeks ago. Already went stage 2 tune with DSG tune and IE intercooler and IE down pipe and still have the dealer plates on it lololol. She rips!
The EFR 7163 3+ kit is nuts. Pairs perfectly with the R as the AWD actually is able to put that power down vs the GTI. I've ridden in both a APR 3+ R and APR 3+ GTI. The difference is night & day. Even though the GTI had the PP LSD, mounts, super sticky tires and everything for best traction. It struggled even on rolls. The R always hooked and took off w/o a hitch. Kinda envious of the R guys with the 7163 kits or other BTs haha. Though I do love my IS38 GTI, which is perfect for a daily for me.
I like these reviews and this car, but you should try to go somewhere where you can actually push the car instead of just driving through normal traffic with the occasional pull. Show is what it can actually do.
Stock engine internals? Keep me posted with that. I have 400BHP GTI and I do HPDE with mine. I was thinking of going 500BHP but per APR page warning the engine internals should be built for that.
4:32 in can you let me know what you think about your Bilstein B16's. I'm considering the Bilstein B16 Suspension KIT and want to keep DCC functionality on my 2018 GTI Autobahn. Thanks for any info on this setup and how it looks and rides.
Super clean and classy APR Stage 3 R! Did he say he has Bilstein B16's to allow him to retain all the DCC functionality around 4:37 in? If so, would that be the same on the GTI? I would imagine so but appreciate any info on the suspension setup! Also, nice to see someone without all the pops and bangs for a change. No offence to the guy with IS38 nice GTI you just did a video on recently. Wish you would of got some numbers out this setup though.
@@philslouka3430Any updates? How are the Bilstein B16's working out? I'm now considering finally making the purchase and was curious. I noticed on the website I'm looking at it says this> "Models with Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) will require DCC Cancelers" Any ideas? I was hoping to still be able to use DCC on my Autobahn 2018. Thx
@@BOOSTEDDUDE The B16 with Damptronic allows use of DCC. Look for those. So far so good. The dialing them in just right for height, appearance and ride takes time. The amount of adjustment is almost infinite.
@@philslouka3430 Thanks for this info Phil! Let me know if you have any other suggestions on if I will need to look into after-market strut towers or anything you might of ran into preventing this suspension from being dialed in on your nice Golf R. Thanks!
Can't wait to get my mk4 build done. Precision 5858 , one off tubular manifold,e85 1000cc injectors, 83mm pistons, more just sure I'm missing something
But it's a dsg..ughh...I know it's the quicker option but damn I couldn't imagine driving this in auto . Getting one soon in stick. I know most have the dsg
Great video but question - he makes it seem like he can choose the stiffness of the suspension (the Bilstein B16's) with the drive mode menu and I just didn't think that was possible (i.e. Bilstein requires you to install/wire their button in the cabin for the Bilstein "Ride Control" to work).
Thaks for the view. To answer your question, the B16 Damptronic kit is a plug and play that works with the VW system controls. No need for a control box. This was the reason I went with them. Otherwise any system would work with a new control unit with rewiring and/or deletes involved.
@@philslouka3430 Very cool! I did some research and it looks like you can get a version of the B6's that work with the DCC (though it doesn't have the same adjustment options as the B16 you've got).
Pro tip: apply a limiter to spoken word audio files. For mobile users we can’t always turn up the volume to 100% in public so cycling volumes to be able to hear what you guys say is difficult.
What bhp is it running and at what psi/bar ? I would definitely run the racingline oil breather system along with the racingline oil cooler , A fair few of us in the uk running 500+Bhp. Great video #🚀
@@drivenbyboost Nice vid man! I would suggest watch for the audio levels and try to match colors on all scenes (eg. fly-by shots) unless you are pretending to show something more 'cinematic'... but still I felt those fly-by shots seemed a little dark or maybe a little more magenta than the actual dialogue scenes IMHO.

Go White Sox’s! LoL Quick question I’m looking to wrap my Golf R and was wondering if you could share where you did yours? I’m on the northwest of Chicago. Great video!
Hi guys, I have the 7.5 r and my dream is also the same as yours. I love the golf r especially my two door, I was wondering if if stage 3 is possible with 60,000 km on the engine? I’m not really a professional at tuning if I’m honest this will be my first car I’ve modified. Is 60,000 too many as I don’t want to destroy the engine if it’s already run in....
tom coogan stage 3 is definitely possible. You may want to build the engine out in the long run as running stage 3 power will shorten the life of your engine indefinitely
Super sad to hear this but it’s from being bought out. Competition makes everything better and now that they’re pulling back it will be interesting to see what happens next
Cool car but probably the most deadpan owner ever. So hard to have an enjoyable convo with people like him. I’m sure he’s nice and stuff but just not a people person lol
DQ 250 is a true DSG. The manuals in these cars won’t hold power past a healthy stage 1 (if you’re even that lucky) without needing clutch upgrade lol along with a few other inherent problems the manual causes with the engines in these. went from a manual camaro to one of these and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Faster at the, strip faster at the track, and no clutch in clutch out in 5 o’clock traffic after a 12 hour work day win win win haha
I put 80k stage 3 miles on my mk6 R and the first thing to go was actually the seal on the GTX 2867r from APR. Replaced the turbo through Garret's exchange program and the car was even better than before.... until I crashed it lol. The mk7 is even better. Not sure about the mk7 but the mk6 had forged pistons and crank. I think it might be the same.
It needs racing streak stickers on exterior side of the the side panels especially on the doors. Gated racing streak stickers that mimic the "Ferrari Testarossa" feel. Protuding flared-out rubber side fenders accents on the doors and rubber side fenders on the wheel wells for added "down force".

Agreed. We will get some good roads to really run the cars out, they deserve it 👌🏼
I agree. That was the only thing missing imo. The pulls he did do were prob only 1/4 throttle. That cars waaaaay faster than what was shown on here.
Agreed, need WOT pulls, POV drives would be great too.

Where tf can I get this installed
This makes me wanna go stage 3 so bad..

Wher you get the under hood r heat shield car looks sweet?!!!
Hit up @jeff_copeland_art on IG. He does hand airbrushed hood liners and did the R for me.

Yep I've just purchased a 2020 golf r and had a stage 3 tune, beautiful,much faster than the WRX sti.
Yoooo I just realized that's streets of Woodfield in schaumburg:) good shit. I'm 20 min south. But I ride bikes!

How do you feel about APR tunes and downpipes being discontinued? I hopped on Stage 2 ASAP after hearing about it

Is that place even open yet..? I live in Schaumburg lol... place looks familiar
Clean car. I would rock smaller wheels tho and bigger tires. :)
Tough, the 19s are beautiful but the 18s would probably perform a little better. Always comes down to beauty vs performance
6:58 Man floored it in front of a cop
I didn’t notice that
where did you get the wheel? thx!!
@tawcustoms 👍
Would love to see this against the A45S
0 to 100 this golf will win, after that it's gonna be interesting, the a45s has in stock form also a huge amount of torque
That r would eat it
@@landlordfortenants3256 yes against a stock a45s the r wins

Llvee no, apr stage 3+ comes with the efr7163 twin scroll big boi

maybe he should concentrate on building that body

Close, woodfield
What's the cost to do a build like this
10k roughly depending on supporting mods
In just parts?
Love the driver comments and overall a awesome video
Is this in Schaumburg? Holy shit I've seen this guy.
They say "carbon fibre" 5768 times in the first 10 minutes and it's all carbon fibre EFFECT wrap !!
ooooh that spoiler fitment... Aliexpress I am assuming
lmao
If only it was a cubs license plate ;)
Who???? 😆
this shit is awkard lmao the zooming in makes it worse hahahahahhahaaa
Top speed?
Not sure exact numbers, probably high considering they remove the limiter when tuning
I think your engine light just went on lol
The guy mine as well work for APR
What's with Golf R owners and DSG?
Seriously lol. It's definitely the much faster option but I can't imagine driving this with an auto lol I'm getting a manual one soon
APR 👍

1:57...wtf was that?
Was it in limp mode

this guy put carbon fiber on carbon fiber!
Take a shot everytime this guy says uh or uhm
🔥🔥👌

Top speed!!?
180mph or 288kpm basically the top of the dsg gear ratio. Manual would be slightly higher
I even felt uncomfortable watching this jajaja you'll to serious
Man i never see any golf r in schaumburg
Great content so im not hating.
but get this man some coffee 💤
My tune wrapped in carbon fibre
stage 3 on stock internals... risky
Should've asked to drive their car while they explain what they did to it!
