Jewel is probably the only MK7 guy who will show us in depth what he builds , keep it coming amazing content love it
Can a mk7gti exhaust manifold work with a mk4 gti 1.8? I would love to use that turbo/ manifold on my mk4 if possible. Please let me know.
he is a genuine down to earth guy. I truly admire this guy because he is humble and easy going
you mentioned that you wanted to try this before going to another plataform, PLEASE dont get rid of the GTI, your build is my dream, it would be very sad to see it gone!!!!
or get a golf R and i will be happy af!!
i own a mk6 and slowly saving money and doing upgrades!
I love how clean the car looks even with all the upgrades
Looks stock except IC, turbo and intake… not bashing… surprised to see stock intake manifold
White silver metallic is the best VW color, simply put 🤩
It is a good color.
Banger video. Can't wait to see you start posting more with this one!
Jewels is a shark ( big fish) damn those upgrades explain why you make hellcats look like your racing a stock gti big up bro not many are generous enough with their info .
Hyped for more roll nights. Getting my stage 1 IE tune this weekend!
The Jump from Stock to stage 1 is a nice gap. Enioy
Seems like a pretty neat sweet spot mate! Good luck on the build! 👍
Definitely a fun spot
Gonna have to start following this build, here cause the race you did with Freshkicks. I have an 8v S3, just went to a stage 2 full e85 tune, would love to get an IS38Hybrid turbo in some day. This car is badass man, VERY tastefully modded
Knew straight away it was your gti on freshkickz channel, good pulls
You are on another level my son. GOLF superiority!!
You're getting near the stock internals limit for dependability before *boom*.....make sure you're keeping an eye on knock.
Can you make a video of how much everything was and put a pic and what exactly the part is plz
So 26psi making 320 hp on my 1.8 polo with gt2260 isn’t bad ? I’m just getting into euros and when I heard it was running 26psi my heart dropped lol
What clutch are you running atm? I got a mk7 that needs a clutch soon. Saw you ran the sachs clutch on your mk7 and was wondering if you went a different route with the mk7.5.
Hey man been watching you vids for a while and they’ve been great . I have a 19 GTI as well and run e85, have u had issues with your continental injectors blowing the Teflon seals? I’ve replaced two and finally went to the older bosch from the 2017 and earlier gtis.
It’s your tune
The continental injectors have been known to prematurely fail especially when running e85. You should be good with Bosch injectors. And no, a tune has nothing to do with blowing Teflon seals
Planning to go Vortex soon🔥🔥
Sheesh have fun
hi, what battery are you using? Do you save alot of weight? Thanks Dale
Im sure you answered it but how much did the turbo setup cost you? Dis you opt for the balanced wastegate and high flow discharge bundle? $2600?
The titanium one is the way to go they're lighter will never rust sound the best and don't cost a whole lot
Just noticed you upgraded battery as well. Go have some fun!!!
Nice was waiting to see when this was going to happen
How much u spend in customize the car like that bro? So many nice little modifications that it’s on that looks so smooth
Hey I’m sorry if you’ve posted this somewhere else but I really only watch your TH-cam and I’m wondering if you could send me a Full mod list part for part. I have a 2021 dsg GTI. I love the channel keep the content coming🙏🏽❗️
what you do for the battery? tons of space right there
hey what's up jewel! I've been watching you're videos for a while now, love the content , love the car! i sold my Audi, which was the 2nd car we had in the household. loved that car but need another canyon carver, weekend car and was thinking of going back to my roots and buying another GTI (GTI was the first car i ever had). i wanted to ask how is reliability with the mods because i def will be modding mine and also am consiuding a 20-21 GTI with the DSG. Any experience with the DSG, how much TQ it can handle etc. thank you :) keep uip the amazing work!
Reliability with mods isn’t bad. Don’t worry about the dsg tq, it can handle more than the engine
@@JewelCity1 thank you for the reply. I was thinking is38 with FBO as a daily, is that too much?
@@LucasSi919 it’s a good spot for a daily especially if you do more hwy driving than city
So now having the XL for a while now, are you happy, or would you have made the leap further up or is this as big as you would go on stock motor? If you control TQ you can make even more HP safely (traction may be the downside).
I enjoy my current setup. Good balance between hp and spool.
@@JewelCity1how much power do you think you gained (or would gain) by going from 3" carless DP to 4" on your Vortex XL? And did/would you adjust the tune for that change?
Nice build fam. Curious what your next platform will be.
Great video! Keep the content coming :D
in your opinion, would you consider a 400whp vortex std on 93 reliable for a daily? I bet it'd be fine as a weekend car but worried for a daily. Or am i better off going is38. No E in my area, 93 is my only option.
If you’re not beating on it after every red light, it would be reliable like a stock car. More headroom on the vortex if you decide to add e85 later.
How much does the car weigh?
Wait so is it is38 or vortex xl
XL is a is38 hybrid
Hey man I’m new to the GTI I plan on getting one this month I been trying to piece together a good maintenance and mod list soo ik where to start when I get one
Here’s a good starting point for mods: th-cam.com/video/zsQ9V8CSAPY/w-d-xo.html
Maintenance will depend on mileage but oil changes, spark plugs, etc is always a good idea after purchasing
What will you be switching to in the future?
That’s Tough to answer
@@JewelCity1 will you be keeping the gti?
👀👀👀 noice!!!
How is the Sachs clutch holding up?
I love this, I just subscribed on two different accounts
Any recommendations for mk6 R big turbo upgrades ?
How’s the ride quality and comfort compared to something like an older 2014 Audi A3 1.8 with S-line suspension ?
Can’t comment on the Audi but this golf drives smooth enough to daily, with stiff enough handling characteristics when going on the twisties. Coilovers would make it more aggressive on stiffness if need-be.

Would you recommend for a golf R? I’ve got a 2018 and wanna go big turbo
I wouldn’t mind having one of these turbos on a R, so yes.
Why did you opt for the XL instead of the Typhoon that they just came out with?
Typhoon is much larger and is really only for built engines
Congrats on the new turbo. Still running Sachs clutch?
What sachs was he running? I’m on southbend stage 3 daily
@@nickkrasn3667 SACHS Performance Clutch
is the hybrid golf is20 turbo better or is the regular is38 better?
Hybrid will take a bit longer to spool but holds the psi better in higher rpm’s
ok, cause when i get a gti ik i wanna do a is38 turbo upgrade or like a hybrid is20 setup@@JewelCity1
At the moment I’m running the is38 with E50 on my GTI I’m thinking of getting the EQT XL is it mandatory to get the Lpfp mpi or can I just the XL get a tune and latter get the Lpfp and mpi
You might be able to tune without, but the turbo will be limited since you didn’t upgrade fueling. So it all depends if you’re okay with that.
@@JewelCity1 thank you so much I appreciate it.
Are you still running the same Sachs clutch that holds up to 400lb feet of torque?
Yes
@@JewelCity1 thanks I'm going to purchase one but i see one that can hold 600lbs ft by sachs, have you seen it on ecs
@@PoloStylist if it’s the twin disk yes, it holds more power but I’ve heard it’s pretty aggressive on daily drives in traffic
@@JewelCity1 Thanks for the input, I truly appreciate it
How much more boost than the standard?
Have you ever want to try the eqt typhoon?
If I was planning to build the motor I’d consider it
What battery is that? And do you reccomend it for daily driving?
Looks like a Braille battery
Tpc38 or vortex XL.XL is nice capabilities of 550-580 whp
Can u throw this turbo in a dsg?
Yes
Are you on stock fueling? I went with APR stage 3 is38, suppose to be 400hp at the crank. I've not yet upgraded any fueling. (Injectors, fuel pump)
To run full E85 you NEED fuel upgrades.
@@Thrills1.1 wasn't planning on running E85
You asked if he’s on stock fueling He clearly said in the vid he’s full e85 ima let you figure out the rest G
@@Thrills1.1 k. Thx
Rematch with the S3?
Can you run SportyR's car??
He sold it
@@JewelCity1 damn
Yo I have Audi s3 vortex xl. Located in OC 👀
FYI guys I ain’t trying to run it I’m tryna see if jewels was gonna rerun it with the grey S3 that had the same mods basically. Only difference Ik of was weight of the vehicle, AWD vs FWD, and DSG vs Manual.
Hey so I have a mk7 gti. I'm guessing your 4 inch downpipe is from Trackslag. I have a couple questions. Do you see any faster spool time? Also does it come catless or is it catted. Is there a big difference in sound or not so much. I'm also going to guess you can probably get pops and crackles without a tune. Love your car.
They come catted or Catless. th-cam.com/video/nyNSBQKIgRY/w-d-xo.html
What intercooler are you running
This th-cam.com/video/j3uFFetwSsg/w-d-xo.html
did you need a bigger dp?
You don’t but it doesn’t hurt to have one
What FMIC did you go with now?
No front mount. Stock location
@@JewelCity1 you know what i meant.. 🙄🙄🤣🤣🤣 what intercooler do you have? 🙃
@@Bted__ever this one th-cam.com/video/j3uFFetwSsg/w-d-xo.html
@@JewelCity1 Lmao all you had to do was answer the question sheesh 😅
Why swap the whole turbo? Cheaper and easier to just swap the housing. Only took me a few hours.
Same but he also made an 11 minute video about going up one size so I guess he likes the scenic route 😁
@@chrisjay7736 Gotta get that youtube monies.
Be grateful someone is actually teaching you something
@@Thrills1.1 Who taught me what? I've tuned this car on 2 different platforms, HPFP twice, LPFP twice, MPI, turbo swap, housing swap, IC, DP. Teach me what? lol. 11 minute video to summarize what could have been said in 15 seconds. Bring back the racing vids, those are at least entertaining.
@@dirk5950 it's obviously about monetization and not caring about saving the viewers time....that's not what it's about on YT.
🔥🔥
R.I.P. bearings and rods 😂
As soon as I saw it I was like damn already lol
Fastest 6Speed 7.5 in SoCal?! 😏
❤❤❤❤
EQT
Slap the HYBRID VORTEX XL BRO TOP BINS YOULL STILL BE PULLING AWAY FROM THESE SLOW ASS V8's
that’s what u have?
Is it still on stock internals?
I believe he is still stock motor
Yes he is
@@Thrills1.1 Gambling a bit with time there IMO.....better be keeping an eye on things..
Agaaain????????
Bro makes racks
12 mins to say "I got a vortex XL"
What’s your opinion on oil catch can for these platforms? Also can you mentor me too 500hp?
Lot of ppl who track uses them. Usually oem can handle the straights.
