Well man you are ahead of me I am still on the IS38, but I had setbacks with needing a second ACT clutch and more recently a new oil pan (screw you speed bumps, thanks a lot). Lets not forget new headlight assemblies at 1300 per side smh (thanks dump truck full of gravel). Hopefully after headlights go in I can get my Vortex. Cheers man. I need to get off my ass and and do videos lol.
Regarding charge pipes. Clean them and when you re-install. Spray some hair spray on the ends. The hair spray will help the couplers stay on and clamped. Awesome little life hack. Also, the cardboard for your bolts is far from stupid. That's another amazing life hack. Almost better than bagging imo.
Hell yeah love the step by step! Also I installed the eqt grounding kit last weekend and I'm so mad I didn't buy it sooner definitely a game changer especially since I was chasing a misfire at the time. Also that pains me to see how easy those downpipes are when you don't have the golf R tax 😭
Hahaha I’m glad someone asked this! It’s was literally because I knew it was gonna be parked for 2 weeks and needed to be able to take thumbnails 😂😂 otherwise yes normal people park it where they work
@@ChrisFromKenya haha i had to look at you laundry list of a mod list and realized my boy didn’t have them ! CTS Turbo has a sale on both with stretch bolts for 220$ they are the street 60a duro.
@@forestmetten870 ohhhh thank you dude I’m literally gonna go cop some. That’s super cheap for mounts. I have the 034 dogbone but definitely need uppers
@@ChrisFromKenya yeah thats what I’m saying! I bought them yesterday and they already shipped out from Urotuning. Definitely gonna be a big improvement for us 😤
No you should be all set with yours brother. As long as it’s in good shape then just re install it but remember it does have to be tuned to a certain voltage and there’s a specific way to do it.
22:23 "all bolts start looking the same" 🤣🤣❤️
Such a thing 😂❤️
GTI’s are finally not dead we need more people like you man. Salute.
I will hold it down brotherrrr. No gti left behind
I attempted to install my
Fmic and downpipe yesterday. Bro oh my gosh, these cars are sooo hard to work on. I hate it lol, I’ll be back at it today
Get it brother haha and yes they are the simplest hard to work on cars 😂😂
Idk bout yall but long and technical videos are my favorite 🤩
Dudeeee same I love actual engine build videos

Haha yeah dude the grounding kit is just one of those thing I keep forgetting to get 😂 and yessirrr I can drop a dp in about 5 minutes these days 😂
Great to see! And you need a mouth or nose mount for the shots when you trying to point to stuff 😂, keep it up keep grinding
Trueee I forgot those were a thing. Appreciate it brother

My v-band loosens up overtime too. U can tell by it vibrating around 2k rpm lol think its a side effect of a loud af exhaust lol
Definitely had no idea and I was chasing an over boost issue and couldn’t figure it out 😂😂 I was like ohhhhhhhhhhhh found it
Just wondering why didn’t you have the car facing the garage lol
Hahaha I’m glad someone asked this! It’s was literally because I knew it was gonna be parked for 2 weeks and needed to be able to take thumbnails 😂😂 otherwise yes normal people park it where they work
Yo You need to do engine/trans mounts to put the power down!!!
I knowwww I totally spaced it until I was putting the XL in and was like ohhhhhh.. I’ll order then in the next round of stuff 😂

New turbski baby
Turbo go wutututu
Did you re use the stock wastegate actuator on the vortex xl from the is38? I don’t really wanna spend $300 on a new one if I don’t need it lol
If yours is in working order there should be no reason why you can’t reuse the one you already have

Bro had me lmao the whole video!!
🫣
Bro were you hiding?
I need my W fix through you cuz mine is down again 😅
