I had a 2.5 Jetta and that was a fun engine. Stock is weak at 150-170 hp (depends on year, mine was 150) but a tune, intake and exhaust woke it up quite a bit since they are torquey motors. I ultimately traded it for an R32 lol.

How did you break anything? I have an 09 jetta pushing 250 whp NA and the only thing i have had an issue with is that im still on the stock clutch. The people i know pushing 350-400 with turbos have only broken axles and burnt clutches.

Just some poorly repeated information that skipped through the editing. A good amount of the early mk5 cars came with a forge crank factory, he probably meant to say something else
An Audi 2.5 TFSI is a 5 Cylinder engine found in the TTRS or RS3’s. It’s very common to swap the forged crank from that motor into the VW 2.5 L5 07k both being 5 cylinder motors. They’re actually very similar motors. Different fuel injection accommodated with a turbo and AWD Trans. The 07k had a baby with 2.0 TSI EA motor thus creating the 2.5 TFSI
The US always gets a bigger engine in most brands where we get 2.0 in Europe, coz they are all driving automatics and people want the torque so 2.3 2.4 fours are common and VW went for the option of adding an extra cylinder to the 2.0 to get the extra capacity.( MK4 golf got 2.5 VR5 in US instead of 2.3 here for same reason)
Has nothing to do with torque. It has always been about fuel costs. The price of gas in Europe has always been 3-4x the amount it is in the US. So the smaller displacement engines are more fuel efficient.
This thing is so friggin cool. First golf I ever drove was an '08 Rabbit and I looooved it. Ever since then I've been a fan of Golfs and ultimately, VW.
Golf R crankshaft? Doubt it.. as the golf r is a 4cyl. Early 07k’s if you are lucky to find one came oem with a forged crank shaft opposed to most of them which have a cast crank which is still good for 700ish hp. He better be carefull with those high torque numbers if it has stock internals still.
For all you Europeans, these engines are considered a dime a dozen in the USA. Can easily pick one up here locally for less than $1000 which should get you a really good low mileage engine. Very popular engine swap here.

Also, what is up with the horrible panel gaps at the front (see bumper to quarter panel and upper grill to bonnet)? Other than that, sounds good and is proper fast 👍
At 1:33 he explains why the bumper is cracked and has that panel gap. And I think the panel gap with the bonnet is also because the car has a grill from a newer model golf and not of a mark V, which is said in the video.
