Do you have the link to the clutch? Also, do you have the Unitronic Stage 2+ Overrun file? Can’t get rid of the burbles in ECO mode like you… Great overview of the car and mods !
Belle réalisation sobre mais efficace j'ai rajouté aussi sur la GTI perf un catch cam pour récupérer les vapeurs d'huile qui évite l'encrassement du conduit d'admission et les soupapes 😅
I’ve gotten pulled off the track because of oil shooting through my pcv making a huge puff of smoke. I used to have a BMS catch can and I removed it, since it wasn’t catching any oil. Now on the mk8, the pcv is so much more advanced that hopefully it is no longer an issue.
Hey Alex, I used 001422.999502G. You can order this directly from Sachs Performance in Germany, and it is the cheapest option even when importing. I wouldn’t buy from a third party. If you email sachs they will happily double check that you are getting the right part number since there are a few revisions.
Definitely should’ve went to EQT, otherwise solid asf. I’m stage 1+ with EQT. Gonna go is38 maybe the top of next year or the holiday season this year. 19 GLI.
Yeah the issue is that eqt did not have competitive offerings for Canadian gas at the time and stopped supporting Catless Downpipes. Tunezilla seems to be an awesome option without many compromises.
@@VWTalkwell that makes sense. What wheels are those? I gotta get away from my black on black setup and will switch to gunmetal or close to it. That setup is clean. If you said it i missed it…taking my hazmat course while i watch this lol
Is the splitter on marketplace? looks like you are in the Halifax area from looking at the video? I am running the TCR muffler and it is louder than I thought.
The tcr muffler is louder weirdly with smaller down pipes.. I had one and sold it and then bought a second. It was an awesome combo with the 4” trackslag and a second resonator… but had drone with a 3” weirdly… ended out getting rid of the second one anticipating a new car. It is hard to get the combo right.
Here are all the parts that I haven't sold yet that are all on marketplace.. TCR Front Splitter Diffuser (all 7 parts to install), Wagner Intercooler, OEM Black Mirror Caps, Front and Rear H&R Swaybars, Bilstein B16 Coilovers, Superpro Front Swaybar End links, Superpro camber mounts, Fluidampr crank pully, BFI Stage 1 motor mounts.
No. I dyno'd it on the IS20, but never on the IS38... the dyno broke on my dyno day and i never bothered to do it again since i was caught up with life
Hey. The taillights I bought from eBay. I just checked and the listing is no longer available. I’d suggest buying from e-acca, that’s where I bought my mk8 euro tails. Go through mk6ix for your harness.
a tuner company will only ever give you recommendations and not a in stone awnser to cover their butt of liability, u spent some unneeded money to get that power. 15k in mods for an is38 build is a bit much.
@EastDallasKicks is38 all u need is plugs, intake, intercooler, inlet elbow, and a downpipe. Clutch if your mt. My build current. Cat back 1k, intake 350, twin cooler ic 300$, got a decent deal on in inlet elbow and turbo muff delete for 100$, my arm dp is gonna be 670$ and the dkm stg2 clutch im gonna run is 1500. This is canadian dollors too. If u fish for the deals and do the labor your self 5-6k is easily doable. Im a auto tech where in the last week ive watched loke 3 or 4 turbo swaps.lol so im hoping to luck in on someones dead is38 off an r to get rebuilt.
I don’t regret it because the GTI was coming up on 6 years and I left the turbo and downpipe on (and tune) as well as SuperPro bushings, maybe $2500 of mods, and sold the car for $300 less than it cost brand new including the 15% sales tax. It cost me $2500 over 5.5 years to drive the car, so to get into something with 0km was a no brainer. I sold off most mods for a very good price and now some of the mods I disliked I am not redoing. The 8R is more aggressive and better in every way, traction wise in Canada it’s often that I was in spin city with the gti. I have the R stage 2’d and I’m in love with it. Now with that said with a GTI done up like this it is so fun and I didn’t have a chance to fully enjoy it since it was only a year that the car had every single mod. Had I only been able to trade in the GTI, which I expect would have been the case in the current market, and maybe recovered 1/2 to 2/3 of the original price, then I definitely would have regret the update. This car was crazy capable when I dismantled it and I miss it a lot, but 470hp out of the evo4 stage 2 and a rear diff that gets the rear end out shuts me up quick.
@VWTalk yeah, my comment was more a nod to your extensive & considered build followed by a weak pun...the 8r does almost everything better & now less of a one trick pony than previous generations. Does the rear diff cope well with the hp increase? Or does it operate independent to increased hp/tq? As swb I imagine the latter..?
I feel like most owners as myself like to upgrade after they go fbo. The cars a super fun build until 400 hp then most people just wanna upgrade so they don’t have to risk there block.
I sold the TCR muffler. I do still have a few parts left, the most interesting being the tcr splitter, but the TCR muffler has been gone for a year. It was just so loud, and by the time I had an exhaust combination I liked I had put a deposit for a new car lol.
If you have a built engine with crazy power goals, no it’s not a scam… For the average user…. With a stage 2 tune… there are other mods that are worth the money. The way fluidampr markets it, and third parties market the device, to me, yeah it’s a scam. It was not worth the money I paid.
Such a clean GTI build!
Aaaaay Pete big fan of you and your car 🔥
@NewEnglandPete I miss the car a lot... Thanks for your view and comment man, I love your videos!
Awesome GTI 😊 love it
Thank you

Haven’t been to MVOC since 2017, I’m usually away when it happens unfortunately

Would you want to sale the muffler ?

@@micolucci1965no California :( I would be interested if you wanted to get rid of it
Did you dyno this before you sold it?

let me ask you how did you go catless and not have an engine light?
Tuned
What spark plugs were you running? Thanks
Stock gapped slightly down. Stock were the only ones that the car was happy with.
do you stil have tail light/harness for sale? thanks
No I sold them

@EastDallasKicks bro imported from oem german stuff and the body accessories drove up his build price. Im just a cheapo about to go stg2. Lol

This car is super clean - if you do more it looks terrible in my opinion.
The fact that no one seems to hold onto these cars long term has always stopped me from buying one. What’s the deal.

@@ashtonarchuleta4607 do you mean upgrade
to another platform like an M2 Comp or something, or upgrade to the newest gen Golf?

@@VWTalkdang okay. Do you have instagram ? I have some questions I would love to ask you , thanks
i do, it's gtitalk, i don't use it much though
Fluidampr a scam? I dont think you k ow what you installed then lol.
If you have a built engine with crazy power goals, no it’s not a scam…
For the average user…. With a stage 2 tune… there are other mods that are worth the money. The way fluidampr markets it, and third parties market the device, to me, yeah it’s a scam. It was not worth the money I paid.
come on a tunezilla tune
I’d love to but no longer have the car and their mk8r tunes weren’t available
you mean stage 2 gti.
Stage 2+ if we’re getting technical
