IS38 isn't big turbo, just saying. And ditch those heavy AF wheels. You'll thank yourself later lol The IS38 is a fine OEM+ upgrade though. I love mine, especially on E85. But I low key kind of wish I had gone Vortex Std. I don't need BIG power for my car and what I use it for. But a more reliable 400whp on pump would be nice. Rather than pushing the poor IS38 to it's ragged edge on ethanol to MAYBE scratch 400 wheel, if I'm lucky.
Fellow MK7 GTI owner here. Mine is a 2017 6spd base model. I’m the original owner. It’s currently IS38 custom Mabo tuned on WMI. Every mod you have plus a lot more. 161k miles on ODO. It still rips super hard. Yes, DSG is quicker, but I do love my 6spd, especially when driving hard. But, after 4 clutch jobs, if I had to do it over again, I would get the DSG just for the sole purpose of setting it and forgetting it. I run the R1 Concepts track performance slotted and drilled front rotors and pads. Been running them for over 2 years now, and they are very good! Way better than my crappy stock rotors and pads. I even tried EBC red pads on my stock rotors, and they sucked. R1’s are way better. Great deal for what you get. I need to get the rears too, as I only have the fronts. Great vid and enjoy your GTI!
after 400hp you should do the clutches in the dsg also. so beating on stock dsg is risky still after hybrid turbo. upgraded clutches in the dsg is still better then blowing the stock and replacing the dsg trans for 12k. if i had manual id just throw the biggest clutch possible right away.
@@jacobMMotorsport yeah mines a street build might run e85 some, both of the turbos I’m looking at are good for 500whp with the right mods and that’s plenty
I have a 2016 Autobahn with the performance pack. I think the MK7 has the best interior because the plastics are carbon textured. The MK7.5 went to glossy black plastics that looks cheaper. I'm IE stage 2 right now. I prefer the stock location intercooler. It looks more stealthy but that's my personal preference. I'm trying to build a OEM + GTI. Also be carefully with FlexFuel. I ran E85 exclusively for a couple years and ran into an issue with my injectors sticking open. I think you want to run some regular 93 octain gas through the car every once an a while to lubricate the injectors.
What Y-pipes are you using? Link? I'm running the same setup you are on my 2016 GTI SE (40k miles) with the exceptions that I have the CTS Cat-back exhaust and am running a APR direct replacement intercooler with Unitronic charge pipes and Racingline R600 intake. The IS38 takes the car to a whole new level. With the IE IS38 tune it's ridiculous! If it was any more fun to drive, I'm sure they'd make it illegal. Love the low-key exhaust note it has too. Not obnoxious at all.

Thanks for the reply, Jacob. I'd had the Forge saved to my GTI shortcuts.... looks like some really nice hardware. I'm saving my pennies! @@jacobMMotorsport
those wheels are heavy af. will pull much harder with a lighter wheel. im 2018 fbo tpc20 mpi having an issue with boost in top end of third at 32-33psi wondering if twinter cooler pipes might help. ive seen 471hp on my setup on 93 pump. wondering if im maxing out my fm intercooler good for 450hp. i get boost ripples top of third 6700-7200 31-33psi up and down till 4th then holds 32psi np.
I see that the R1 concepts doesnt have hooks on the backingplate, which secures the brakepad to the backingplate. How do you trust a «performance brake» that doesnt have this basic safety feature? Is it something else holding the material to the backingplate? Other than adheasion?
I made it. I have my own vinyl printer and made it with the forge carbon wrap and grey lettering. Is it something your interest in. I’d be willing to make some!
brother my vette would wreck this thing bad.. butttttt.... im in the market for one so im watching this video... lol i have a c6 ls2 cam and fbo but yeah this thing would get gapped lol only reason im saying this is because you talked shit on v8's lol... but i also had a 04 GLI and i loved it...
@@jacobMMotorsport oh I don’t doubt it… lol I’m just saying, my vette would have destroyed that car at the time. Lol it makes 450whp on the dyno at 3150lbs lol it fun it ran a 11.1 with et streets. Lol I never hit that time again. But I still claim it. Lol
I stil prefer a e90 m3. V8, rear wheel drive... As long as the rod bearings are done it's reliable too. Even if this GTI had 700 hp it's still a front wheel drive car and that absolutely sucks a giant load of donkey balls
@@N-e-v I'm 37 and I drive a 2011 BMW M3. I owned a MK4 GTI when I was right out of high school in 2006. I sold that pile and got a 335i in 2008 and it's been rear wheel drive goodness ever since. I will never go back to front wheel drive as long as I live. Honesty, I don't think I could ever picture myself in a Hyundai even though the newer ones are pretty nice. What do you drive?

I remember seeing you argue with people how the 6 speed is superior. Happy to see you finally came to your senses.
Sweeet dude that’s sick to hear that the golf is still running strong! Yea we had the ebc pads and they were Garbo.

@@devinbowman8079 DSG has been proven to hold well over 400hp with no problem
My biggest takeaway from this video was the double intercooler idea. I thank you dearly for that :)
Infact, I'm subbing for that
I’m prob going DTR or Vortex Standard on mine. With the ARM FMIC which is rated for up to 700hp just to be different from most where I live..lol

my buddy and I just did the Aerofabb rear wing... it's not that bad just gotta set aside 2 hours and go slow.
Yes it was very stressful lol 😩
It’s actually the MK5 R32 that first had that transmission. The MK4 R32 had a MANUAL 6 speed transmission! FYI
Just get some nittos on 245/40 and you will be set bro thats what i run on my mk7 and hooks good with my vortex xl power
Which ones?!
