Check out the Cobra Sport catback at my channel then. Its for my european GTI Clubsport mk7. Soon installing invidia highflow dp with sportcat to get a Custom turbo back! 👍
I’m running a cts catback with the resonator removed and it’s perfect no drone no rasp. It’s got bass, and when you have it on load it shakes the rear cargo deck and windows
I did an intercooler install this week on my mk7 golf r. I think you might be able to use your aftermarket air box by moving/adjusting the ac, ic, and radiator forward. On the crash bar there are slotted holes to move everything forward.
Mate you have an absolute weapon I've watched all your roll racing videos, so impressive 👏 you have your gti sorted. Spend it where it's needed. I have a mk6 gti dsg 2 door and am interested to hear what you think of turbo upgrades? IS38? K04? K04 hybrid? Unfortunately most reviews are biased because that's what they believe. I've seen you chop shit that I'm sure they all screamed Monica 😂🤣👍 very impressive what you've done and not over the top. I have downpipe highflow cat muffler delete rear muffler delete, cold air intake dogbone mount, catch can (need a carbon clean) just ordered ECS fmic and turbo outlet/inlet pipe also. Currently stock dsg (need a stage 2 tune) and running a 2012 golf r tune. It was 0-60 in 5.8 as bought with exhaust golf r tune stock everything else on 98 octane on crap tyres pirreli dragon sport, average tyre.
Why didn’t you try the bi.cooler set up where you use the front and the factory with hoses that connect them both together since your doing a bigger turbo
@@JewelCity1 yeah I read that there could be potential lag but that is actually my next mod since I have the autobahn with the sensor in the bumper I already have a iS38 + from EQT and tune ready just wanna do this first
Nice build! Do you have a larger radiator? Also I noticed your headlights were pretty bright during your night runs. What are you using? Thanks and more power!
Stock location usually allows more volume for cooling on mk7. Some ppl swear by fmic which could work, you just have to look at the size and its cooling type for what you’re trying to do
@@castromk7.571 no alot ppl dont know dq250 dsg 6 gti block at 400nm no matter what u do* its show over 600nm in reality its stutter like this 400-600 LUL that why german don't go far beyong 500nm
My friend I have a MK5 GTI an d I will tell you that front mount that you are removing is far more efficient than the performance version that sits in the stock location, especially if you run the intercooler delete from NM Engineering with the front mount.
Dude I definitely did not have any issues with the radiator being pushed back due to the IC. Hope you have it installed correctly. The only time mine gave me issues is when the top of the radiator was not properly retained.
@@JewelCity1 gotcha. On your E85 IS38 setup, what kinda gas mileage do you pull? I pull like 35 on my FBO IS20 as I do quite a bit of highway and just drive spirited occasionally. Curious how bad the E85 mileage is.
Removing the factory IC and putting the new one probably took 3-4hrs taking it slow with breaks in between. Add another 45min of fabrication to make the intake fit and clearance of any hoses/wires rubbing
I like that your GTI doesn't have an overly raspy sounding exhaust.

Best sounding exhaust with no drone imo is 4” catless downpipe into a nameless exhaust with 2 5” mufflers

Finally a channel with a manual GTI that I can watch
The intercooler install on my mk7.5 gti was a PITA lol proud of you to do it by yourself

The build just gets better n better
Favorite gti build on TH-cam
Lol nice...I used boxes to hold my IC up when installing my HPA one. An adjustable height stool would be more ideal for those who have one.
100%
I just used my floor jack with a piece of wood for mine.
Great job bro. Love the build. Keep chugging along. What hp will you be satisfied with? Do you have a goal hp/torque goal.?
Nice sleeper look bro 👌🏽🔥
Can we get city drive pov Jewels 🤟🏽😉
Sick video as always g! 💎
Super down for this

Just curious, what did you do with the check engine light?
Hey whats up man, great video again bro!
🙏🏼
Why didn’t you try the bi.cooler set up where you use the front and the factory with hoses that connect them both together since your doing a bigger turbo
From what I’ve seen, most bi-cooler will slower turbo spool. Single ic is better

Always quality content 🤌🏻
I tried racing you this weekend
Silver tiguan r-line but you were to fast for my tig
Next time
Nice build! Do you have a larger radiator?
Also I noticed your headlights were pretty bright during your night runs. What are you using?
Thanks and more power!
Stock radiator. They are aftermarket golf R headlights
I know this is an old video, do you think the extra cost of the stock location intercoolers are worth it over say ARM FMIC? Thanks ;)

please respond i’m buying this intercooler but can’t find it.
Whats your exhaust set up sounds perfect
It’s actually stock
Do you know why that cts inter cooler is so small and btw bro have you got many tickets driving this car or is it invisible to the cops love your vids
Do you have the link still to this intercooler ?
Did u notice any difference between the new intercooler and the old front mount?
Also, the pulls at the end uuughh
what intercooler is this?
What are you planning on pushing without breaking the internals?
iirc i think he said he was aiming for 450whp
The motor can handle a lot of power reliably it’s the torque that can make them blow and it maxes out at around 440 tq before it starts to get risky

Hey Jewels did you ever do a Charge Pipe upgrade or is that something you are considering in the future?
They don’t really do much on these cars. Especially below 500hp
@Jewel City Thanks for your response appreciate it. Nice video keep them coming when you can
What’s your exhaust system? I’ve been looking to get a setup but all of them sound loud and raspy. I’m looking for deep sound like yours.
It’s stock mk7.5 exhaust actually
Yo man, love the vids. What rims are you rocking?
those are konig ampliforms i have the same set :)
@@robbysahadeo9786 Cheers!!
My friend I have a MK5 GTI an d I will tell you that front mount that you are removing is far more efficient than the performance version that sits in the stock location, especially if you run the intercooler delete from NM Engineering with the front mount.
What benefits did you notice ?
better cooling for higher hp
Link?
Bro I definitely broke so many plastic components doing my IC install lol
Dude I definitely did not have any issues with the radiator being pushed back due to the IC. Hope you have it installed correctly. The only time mine gave me issues is when the top of the radiator was not properly retained.
The eBay ic is one of the thickest ones you can get. I didn’t have issues with it rubbing but I didn’t like how close it was to the belt
@@JewelCity1 gotcha. On your E85 IS38 setup, what kinda gas mileage do you pull? I pull like 35 on my FBO IS20 as I do quite a bit of highway and just drive spirited occasionally. Curious how bad the E85 mileage is.
@@MeltingRubberZ28 a lot of city driving so mpgs like 16-18, including roll events. If I drive it softly in eco mode I can bump up mpgs a bit.
@@JewelCity1 damn lol. Wonder if I could pull like 28-30 on E85. Probably end up closer to 25.
What do you guys think of the do88 intercooler? Any good?
One of the better brands imo
how long did the install take ?
Removing the factory IC and putting the new one probably took 3-4hrs taking it slow with breaks in between. Add another 45min of fabrication to make the intake fit and clearance of any hoses/wires rubbing
Please change that oil pan ... Lost a motor not to long ago because of it 🤦🏾♂️
Have you ever thought of maybe painting your car or a wrap??
Literally thought about this yesterday
Jaaaaa hard decision I’m undecided on what color to paint my GTI 🤯😎
Do you have a full mods list ?
th-cam.com/video/zsQ9V8CSAPY/w-d-xo.html
Do i need to upgrade my CTS front mount intercooler to run a hybrid turbo? Does anyone know?
You don’t need to but it’ll help if you’re seeking big power 500+
Are you interested in selling your old front mount?
I will soon!
here
hey thanks!
