whenever there's a video about a mk6 gti there's comments about how its unreliable, i find it funny how its mainly from people who have never owned one 😂😂
I’ve owned 2 MK4’s, MK5, MK6 and a 3 series BMW and they aren’t reliable lol unless you maintain them religiously and or have full warranty and they are not cheap in 🇺🇸 they are probably some of the most unreliable vehicles in the US most all German vehicles are. I still love them no matter how much I hate them and talk shit about them lol!
@Crypto King nah had an mk6 gti stock mk7 gti stage 2 and now have a 7R and even stock the R is a lot better than my stage 2 gti was. The gti is a very boring car to drive 7R is on a different level
What a fantastic car! Lamar has exactly the same taste as me in terms of cosmetic updates without losing the Oem look. I actually couldn't believe it....as I've looked around online and never seen one with the same details. I have a 2013 3rd Gen engine with the updated tensioner etc. White GTI cabriolet with 48000 miles on it. Mint. Have ordered the same Red Gti wing badges, gloss black mirror caps, Red Boot badge and even the same style steering paddle shift extensions....lol. I do have Zenon headlights which are cool and the same De Troit 18 inch wheels which are the best Gti wheels ever! I'm nervous about doing it, but going to have a Stage 1 tune with Bangs and Pops added in Sport Mode only. No other mods. Have added a Wolfsburg Edition Badge on the right tailgate which looks like it belongs. Have had 17 Vws and this is my absolute favorite...especially in Cabriolet form with the raked roof....Brings a smile to my dial every day I drive it.
Lovely Mk6 GTI, Rapid too. Very nice, classy. Underrated. Quality build , fit & finish better than on later cars. I had one from new in 2012, sold after 70 months. Should have kept it. 😀
@@shaangujjarx there’s Jabba sport, peron, midland Vw. Just rtech has a good name They said there concentrating on mk5 tsfi and mqb platform which is a shame think mk6 are getting more popular for tuning now
can i ask everyone what golf i should get ? i want power but i want to be able to tune it when im ready, i also want some nice interior mainly i want some nice looking but comfortable seats. mt last cars are the mini cooper s and then i had a audi a5 sportback but ive been looking at golf r's and would like some feed back on what golfs you lot like so i can have a look at all. please and thanks.
Yes. But you will need to give the gti a lot of love. Oil change every 6k is a must incl oil filter. Dont drive short trips avoid that as mutch as possible
@@hampshirephoto yea mate def start doing that. i have a stage 1 turboed gt86 and that's at 285bhp, but only 240ftbs so way lower than this. but the car started off at such low torque that it's very hard to squeeze more out of it. they say 0-60 time is around 5.5 secs but will test it out at some point with a draggy. big improvement on stock numbers, but still lacking in the torque department (which is what pins you in your seat, as we all know).

I'm not sure which company made his in particular, but I got some in a very similar style from FullhouseCustoms. Their quality is insane, but there's other companies such as RolaPlates and Exclusive Registrations who do cut down / gel or acrylic plates. Hope this helped
I don't see why he would get an ed35 next, literally the same car he has but different engine and his gti is already stage 2, if he's bored of the beast he has now then ed35 will definitely be boring too 😂 maybe mk7 chassis next? cupra? he has options tbh.
@@mattsamuels3607 not that I know of mate. I think it’s down to your tuner - mainly generic you’ll get similar figures but a custom tune you’ll get what your car can put out.
I have a stage 1 mk6 GTI, 260bhp and 418nm. Stage 2 only makes 20odd bhp more at about 280. The reason is the size of the turbo I believe, need a K04 which will then see you with 350bhp.

The mk6 gti is really a great car for the money
Sure is!
Really prone to faults
Not really if you gonna be modifying the car and spend all that money you better off buying a golf r which is 10 x better

Great video, love the mk6 shape and style, only did them for around 4 years hence why you don't see that many in general
Thank you! Very true

Thank you buddy!
Sounds really good
Very clean example, can’t got wrong with either MK5 or MK6 😎👌🏾
This really makes me miss my MK6 💔
Still love mine nearly 9 years after buying it. It is my baby for sure
Stunning GTi! I love how you have kept it OEM mate 👌🏼
Thanks buddy! Me too;)
Does sound good with downpipe and res delete. Brilliant cars love mine just needs a downpipe and some R-Tech magic
My car has the same engine as this and they sure are torquey when mapped!
I've mk2 leon with this engine and oof does it pull when mapped. Just a stage 1 makes a huge difference.
Just sold my mk6 GTi and upgraded to a 7.5 with stage 2 remap. There's loads of Mk6 gtis here in Dublin
Nice upgrade!
Wicked video as always! Love the golf content, makes me wanna buy an R 🤣 let's set something up!
What makes this a stage 2 ? I thought down pipe, turbo and intercooler upgrades is what would make this stage 1+ into stage 2
guessing i'm next for an appearance on the channel now... haha
Drop me a DM on Instagram! @hampshirephotography
I wish one day to own this 😢
I wondered who that was blasting past my office in the business park!

Hello, what your exhaust setup?
I just bought one 😎 suggest me what to do so that it’s looks cool and drives more faster than normal
Apr stage 2 tune, suspension, golf r tail light swap, exhaust system
If your U.K. based go to R tech 👍🏾
Stock intercooler?
This car is absolutely rapid! Can back it, not quite as fast as a stage 1+ S1 with gold wheels tho.
That car for gyal
My old mk6 gti stage 1 made 280bhp 350ft at Rtec just over 1 yr ago. It’s on Rtecs Facebook page. ( red )
I'm a bit late but I'm pretty sure that's going into stage 2 territory. Stage 1 will do about 260 at the most on these engines.
@@kazzng2087 stage 1 is normal 260/270 bhp but it’s 380nm? How’s this guy got 320? Stage 2?

Is you down pipe cat less? To much hassle with decats tbh, but when it sounds as good as this it’s tempting haha
Yes 3” decat downpipe bud.

bro it is this car reliable for daily driven ? i mean after the mods an ecu tune like this ?
Yes. But you will need to give the gti a lot of love. Oil change every 6k is a must incl oil filter. Dont drive short trips avoid that as mutch as possible
What means short trips bro ? It means road trips miles away ? I plan to use daily just for city ride
Exhaust mod ?
Have the gti badges on the sides wings been added? I know they come as standard on the 35.
Yes I added them, the 35 GTI only get the 35 badges!
Gti rear badge is crooked
MK5 is raising in price

That’s not correct bud. Stage 1 is 260-270. stage 2 280/290 (300 at a push) :)
