Yeah I was let down this wasn’t part of top 5. I understand it gets expensive if you got a dsg but it definitely definitely makes your car much more enjoyable
Another great video, I have a 13 gti. My favorite mods r the brembo gt bbk, apr intercooler, awe exaust, super pro front control arms and h&r rear sway bar. Plus the apr ecu, tcu tune and down pipe, these mods transformed my car into a very fun car. Keep up the good work.
@@drivenbyboost Thank you I appreciate it , my car isn't fast but quick. Want to do k04 but I heard the plant burned down. 1 of the reasons I like your channel is u respond to the comments, some channels forget what made them so popular the viewers.
I love how you have auto. My gf is about to get one and she can't drive stick so it's nice to see mods on a auto. I drive a manual mustang gt so it's a different breed for me.
Big brakes don’t really do a lot other than prevent brake fade. Stopping is stopping unless you’re flying around a track not giving your rotors a chance to cool off...
Agreed but everyone has their own top 5 mods. Most say Ecu and sway bar and then it varies from there. My other 3 would be pedal box, intake box mod/inlet pipe and a turbo inlet elbow. I have done a few other mods but I like those best, so far.
I’ve heard intakes actually decrease performance quite a bit. Can someone educate me on this real quick? I have the APR intake (unfortunately it’s a closed box) but someone lemme know! Love your videos man Congrats on 5k!
Decrease, no. But depending on other mods, may be unneeded. If you are tuned I would for sure. The apr closed eliminates hot dense air. Thus its closed vs. Open design.
Depends on the intake, you wanna get a closed box that gets as much air as possible like the racingline r600 or integrated engineering with the lid. But in reality to get the full effect you'll need a bigger inlet pipe, outlet/discharge pipe and a tune that'll utilize more airflow
hey man late comment to this video but i have a question. im about to go stage 2 in my 17 golf R and want to add crackle tune. did you notice decrease in mpg from crackle tune?
For those of you lookinng for a tune (which is what i consider the 1st or 2nd best mod too do) everyone knows apr is great but i would personally sacrifice the small bit of power for what i would consider an overall much better and safer tune from revo. Revo offers a bunch of safety cutoffa for your engine aswell as a dongle too be able to switch through different octane tunes in your car with a switch as opposed to apr where your stuck with whatever tune you had set. That little thing alone shooed me away from apr(that and they dont sell stage two downpipes anymore🥲😂
Can't go wrong with the sway bar, it's amazing the difference it makes
Absolutely!!
I feel like one of the biggest/ best mod would be a stage 1 tune? Changes the whole personality of the stock car.

Thanks Lewis, your gti sounds like a beast 💯

Finally a golf 7 r video from u bro, I just love ur channel and congrats on 5k❤️👌💯
Congratulations! Super happy for you, enjoy your R ❤️
This is one of the highest quality products from this channel so far. Congrats on 5k
Thanks Max, I appreciate it man 🤟🏻
Congrats on 5k bro you earned it!
Thank you 🙏
Hi Chris, I agree with all these mods and am getting all of them myself eventually...Love your work 👍👌...Keep the vids coming 😎
Thanks Paul ! 💯
The big 5k!! Congrats!!
Thanks my bro!!!
I just picked up a Golf R. But from my other car my GLI, I highly recommend a Fluidamper Harmonic Balancer.
Does it help or depends on the mods u have.
@@lewisberry8657 Yes. And I’d say it’s a must if your car is modified
I bought the same exact steering wheel after watching a couple of your vids. It looks soooo good can’t wait for it to deliver.
What steering wheel is it??
Great video bro. 🤙
Thanks Pat!
This video you shouted out 5k! You at 10k now!
The videos are sick af!!
I appreciate it!! Thank you 👍
I love how you have auto. My gf is about to get one and she can't drive stick so it's nice to see mods on a auto. I drive a manual mustang gt so it's a different breed for me.
Hey man, love the color of the car, what's the color called :)
None of these mods are "must-haves". Imagine paying 1800 for brakes when u have phenomenal brakes on the Golf R as is.
Agree completely. If you're not actively tracking the car, a 4 piston caliper is just an expensive aesthetic mod.
I mean no mods are really necessary 🤷, we do it cuz its fun and cool
5k and moving brotha 💯🔥
Yes sir the DB fam is growing 🙏
Congrats on 5K! I loved the color of that R!! What Color was it?
Thanks! Gloss Atomic Teal is the color
That steering wheel tho 😍❤
Yes mam ❤️
I'm surprised the wrap didn't make the list, considering how much horse power we added! Congrats on 5k! 😜
The wrap maybe number one one a different list 👌🏼, thanks Steve!

Was your GTI the MT or DSG? Im looking right now to get a 2018 GTI SE. cant decide which to go with. Also would be my first MT car.
Watch the video maybe
APR catback on mk7 gti sounds amazing.. Stockish stound when around town and in the pedal sounds so race /chefkiss
Congrats on 5k bro! What are the wheel specs of the TSW’s?
Thanks! The wheels are 18x8.5 42et
U deserve way more subscribers
If you do any spirited driving a swaybar is soo worth it.night and day
The steering wheel was the best one for me.
What brand of rear sway bar did u go with ? Can’t find any for $200
Getting to cold to film outside these days ! Midwest problems!
Haha yeah the weather isn’t too nice lately 😓
Where did you get the steering wheel at? Also the rear sway bar is what brand?
I’ve heard intakes actually decrease performance quite a bit. Can someone educate me on this real quick? I have the APR intake (unfortunately it’s a closed box) but someone lemme know!
Love your videos man

What wheels is that on @mrzee0616 set up ?
hey man late comment to this video but i have a question. im about to go stage 2 in my 17 golf R and want to add crackle tune. did you notice decrease in mpg from crackle tune?
I didn’t notice it that much unless I was really on it
From where exactly can I get like these beautiful steering wheel?
I love the color of the car, what color what that be considered?
Gloss Atomic Teal 👍
I have a 2013 golf tsi and was wondering if the exhaust would work for my car
Hi Chris, I know they're expensive, but how about a body kit and rear spoiler. I'm waiting for my Oettinger one to arrive 👍
Those are going to look great! I’m pumped for ya!
@@drivenbyboost Thanks man, appreciated 👌 I'll hopefully upload a video once it's completed 👍
I just got the awe track exhaust for my 18 golf R, the drone is horrible. How bad is the drone with the switch path?
Drone was minimal with valves open and almost non existent with them closed 👍
Can u put subs in a golf r and is it easy
What type of finish do you have on those wheels? It’s sick
Hyper black 👍
How much would all these upgrades cost all together?
I can barely afford a full tank of 93 in the gti.
I want to buy a new car and I’ve been thinking about this one but I’m not much sure about the car itself if it’s reliable or not
Drove the car very hard for two years and it was heavily modified. For the most part these cars are pretty reliable 👍
this not what forged carbon is, it's regular twill carbon fiber.
Would any of these mods be good for a 2020 golf R-line?
Yes absolutely.
@@talanius1 Would it be worth getting the exhaust for a mk7.5 r-line? its just got a tsi engine, stock. Is it worth it?
praying my ex dose some of these to his gti so when i get back w him his car is cooler
a bbk over a sway bar? He might be the only person ever with that opinion.
Hey just hit your channel do you still have the golf or have you move on from it
Welcome! I sold my golf for the S4, miss it a bit but in love with the Audi
What happened to the S4!?
Still have it. But there’s been an accident, video on that soon 😓
lol i thought he drove manual… my mistake
What year is your R??
2017
New here..what turbo and are you on stock motor?
THis guy is talking like he's super bored. Moving on.
Stopped watching at the first mod. I do not want to harass the people around me.
For those of you lookinng for a tune (which is what i consider the 1st or 2nd best mod too do) everyone knows apr is great but i would personally sacrifice the small bit of power for what i would consider an overall much better and safer tune from revo. Revo offers a bunch of safety cutoffa for your engine aswell as a dongle too be able to switch through different octane tunes in your car with a switch as opposed to apr where your stuck with whatever tune you had set. That little thing alone shooed me away from apr(that and they dont sell stage two downpipes anymore🥲😂
