@ColdVsIce i got an 08 eos with the 2.0 fsi engine. Has good torque in sport mode and im getting around 28 mpg if i drive normally. Only issue is my leaky roof
Triggered, my head almost exploded when he called a VR6 an V6 and the other guy explained why it was ok. Give me a couple of weeks and I might finally calm down. If he ever says that there is no such thing as a W engine I've had it.
Rusty Shackleford well of course ur names cause ur names Russell i like it too even tho its gay as fuck or super douchey "my fav car I've driven honestly is a 1st gen Scion xB" too bad we never got the jdm Toyota bB Open Deck 2300lb awd 1.3l pickup based of it haha
I think it will always be a car that only certain people will like.if this car came stock like this then id agree with you.. cars with aftermarket parts dont hold value well
I love all the fancy cars and tuner cars on this channel but what gets me is the random cars that are stupid clean and stupid fast. Like this EOS is amazing. I would've never thought to modify a VW Eos
I'm surprised that the car just absorbed the upgrade. If I didn't buy my EOS for just over $5k I'd definitely think about spending $14k on this conversion
People always ask what kind of car would you build if you had a million dollars, some go for the sexiest, others the fastest. Me? The sleepiest. I love this car.
I have one, and no ... it does not suck ... point of fact, the VW EOS is the only car that has a folding convertible roof with a sliding glass sunroof, mine is the face lifted version with an options list as long as my arm.
Marcel invited our local car club (Vancouver R Club) to a private open house at HPA last week. Incredible operation, and the passion they have for what they do is so apparent in Marcel and his staff. I know where I'm going when my warranty is up, or when I decide "to heck with my warranty".
Incredibly cool build. And that VR6 note is still awesome. I got passed in my modest MK6 Golf GTI by a MK5 R32 the other day. The sound is just so much better, wow.
Love it when Matt giggles from the astonishing power of a vehicle. Good video, this guy from HPA is very knowledgeable about everything about this cars modification, love videos like this.
This is probably the second-best choice for HPA sleeper status, just behind a 1st-gen New Beetle Convertible. This would be MUCH easier to live with though. Freakin' wonderful stuff!
But then a 335i convertible will do almost the same performance with stock turbo's and overall another class of a car. But MAD RESPECT for the HPA crew, always the sickest builds.
I had the chance to see their R32 that had made it into Gran Turismo 5 a few years back. They gladly started it up and shot fire out of the exhaust for me to see.
@@heywoodjablome5630 I personally have one with a classic 140hp TDI, I wouldn't call it fast (depends on your standards) but there is a nice boost when the turbo kicks in... and with the torque of a diesel not a lot of cars can keep up when I go uphill. It's just a good little car... I know lots of people hate it... I've had it for over 10 years and really don't want to get rid of it.. I had 2 daughters and it was still fine, now I have 3 and everybody tells me to sell the damn car.... too many memories and I still enjoy it a lot... let the wifey upgrade to a bigger family hawler lol
Idiots been losing their minds on here over it, even though Matt was 100% correct, at least about me he was. People literally have zero sense of humour and it scares me.
I have a VR6 eos... custom ordered from the factory, have been thinking about doing something like this, never knew it existed... however: from what the cost is, the upgrade costs more than the vehicle is worth, how would you insure something like this?
A Han if you are in the Craigslist search better for R8 first gen it has better platform, mid engine, AWD and is far better all around, you will thank me latter. :)
Man this is the video I've been waiting to see. One if your best top 5 videos with you laughing and enjoying the car and drive like the defender video when you went up the mountain side. Thanks man I'm going to check out dudes website
It's doable tho, if you know someone who can cut and weld/spotweld. The spare tyre well needs to be cut partially to make the haldex fit 👍 Easiest path would be to get a complete donor and swap everything over. The rear floor is not much different from fwd to 4wd
He says that twins take half the boost than a single to make whatever horsepower you want but in my opinion at all comes down to head work, I've seen a rb26 swapped Datsun 240z making 800whp on 14-15 psi with an efr 8374, with massive amounts of head work, stroker crank and forged pistons. If the owner wants just a turbo kit than yea you'll make more power with twins than a single but if they're going to get a built motor and some head work than a single can make as much power as twins
WOW great video. This is a great EOS performance show.. I dont own one, but a friend of ours does. I think the owner might have been scared in the beginning.. I would have been too! Short wheelbase, 500hp, wow!
Bob Sagit why do you think it such a bad idea..? As some one who has worked on some crazier builds of hard body's over the years...1 with a Jim wolf upgraded 300zx twin turbo drive train.....2 with a built 400+whp sr20 a 370z drive train would be nice and if you don't want leaf springs(That can handle pretty good with minor mods) they can be converted to 3-4 link and coilovers and still keep a functioning bed....
They share the same platform and come from the same manufacturing plant in Portugal. Both cars' wheelbase are identical. So it probably wasn't that hard to fit it. They most likely grafted the front half of the Scirocco fenders to the back half of the Eos front fenders so that the body line on the doors would match up properly.
4:25 Is that reasoning valid? Wouldn’t boost pressure be boost pressure regardless of the number of turbos? Twins would just be more responsive down low?
500 horsepower will just about fix anything. You always know it's going to be a good drive when Matt starts giggling like a little kid when he first steps on the gas. I wonder if he's ever had a run in with the highway patrol when driving cars up in the canyons?
I have the 2.0tfsi 200bhp. Not planning to do a engine swap but will be doing APR stage 4 but want the AWD system! He said he took it from an Audi TT right..
I have a stock eos, easily one of the most enjoyable cars ive ever driven
I agree, atleast for a stock convertible. It actually ranks pretty close to my mk1 cabrio in smiles per mile.
I recently got a R32 V6 EOS. It's a joy to ride. Even when stock.
@@Caliber632how fast are they? I like them
@ColdVsIce i got an 08 eos with the 2.0 fsi engine. Has good torque in sport mode and im getting around 28 mpg if i drive normally. Only issue is my leaky roof
500WHP AWD VW-group convertible? It's basically an R8 spyder
xThe0gge but it sleeps
the EOS is far from a R8 spyder. it has more similarities with a new golf/bora/passat
xThe0gge *an R8, AN not A, didn't you learn grammar? A elephant, an elephant.
2 seats vs 4 seats.
xThe0gge All Wheel Prancing
500 HP Eos? The sleepiest of slepers
Ian Johnson I know you want to edit that spelling error, don’t, keep it og
It's so sleepy, it might actually be napping.
Triggered, my head almost exploded when he called a VR6 an V6 and the other guy explained why it was ok. Give me a couple of weeks and I might finally calm down. If he ever says that there is no such thing as a W engine I've had it.
He's so sleepy he's tired;)..., maybe even exhausted;)..... I'll show myself out
It is a V6 but only has one cylinder head. Clam down sweet cheeks :)
The hairdresser down the road got on coke, hooked up with a car nut and ended up with this? Dope.
yes, he wants to feel the wind blowing through his hair.
HPA cars make the best one takes. The shear joy on Matt's face driving these cars is unmatched.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is the type of car that will age like a fine wine in that it’ll become one of the most interesting things to see 25 years down the road.
Nah.. the eos is a piece of shit :D
Rusty Shackleford well of course ur names cause ur names Russell i like it too even tho its gay as fuck or super douchey "my fav car I've driven honestly is a 1st gen Scion xB" too bad we never got the jdm Toyota bB Open Deck 2300lb awd 1.3l pickup based of it haha

RCXDerp lightweight tons of room good gas mileage just useless on the highway with a whopping 108hp n toaster shape
Ah, much like the coveted Geo Metro convertible. I can see it now.
I love all the fancy cars and tuner cars on this channel but what gets me is the random cars that are stupid clean and stupid fast. Like this EOS is amazing. I would've never thought to modify a VW Eos
VW Eos is a good looking car for sure.
I'm surprised that the car just absorbed the upgrade. If I didn't buy my EOS for just over $5k I'd definitely think about spending $14k on this conversion
HPA are on another level.
shaft9000 I like hpa shit.
Didnt they make that audi tt with 800hp? Was also in gran turismo 6 i believe
Now all I have to do is convince the wife to do this conversion on her Eos.
People always ask what kind of car would you build if you had a million dollars, some go for the sexiest, others the fastest. Me? The sleepiest. I love this car.
It doesn’t look like a sleeper to most people, these days, two doors and a coupe shape means a fast car to most
Dude looks like your father Matt.
I kinda want one now 🤔
They are really nice when you see them up close my brother has one I liked it the 1st time I saw it.
But it won't be like this one.
You know you do Sarah! Lol
I have one, and no ... it does not suck ... point of fact, the VW EOS is the only car that has a folding convertible roof with a sliding glass sunroof, mine is the face lifted version with an options list as long as my arm.
Amazing idea, really cool car.
VW should have made things like that from the factory (maybe with 310 HP)
Marcel invited our local car club (Vancouver R Club) to a private open house at HPA last week. Incredible operation, and the passion they have for what they do is so apparent in Marcel and his staff. I know where I'm going when my warranty is up, or when I decide "to heck with my warranty".
I respect TheSmokingTire and Matt for sticking with reviewing obtainable cars usually lightly modified.
underballbutter 14k in parts + 50 hrs labor probably isn't everyone's definition of lightly modded
ziomorph Pretty sure the OP is being sarcastic man.
haha yea i don't know why i took that at face value lol
Incredibly cool build. And that VR6 note is still awesome. I got passed in my modest MK6 Golf GTI by a MK5 R32 the other day. The sound is just so much better, wow.
its taken 2 years, but matt has finally learnt to do u turns in safe places!
Love it when Matt giggles from the astonishing power of a vehicle. Good video, this guy from HPA is very knowledgeable about everything about this cars modification, love videos like this.
This is probably the second-best choice for HPA sleeper status, just behind a 1st-gen New Beetle Convertible. This would be MUCH easier to live with though. Freakin' wonderful stuff!
I'm reasonably certain these 2 guys are the same person.
LOL!
It's like they didn't even _try_ to look different.
It's like in Futurama when we get introduced to Lars... Even has the voice!
I recently got a 2010 and I love it. It’s stock and it’s my first turbo car and it’s such a fun drive
Think watching this video put me in debt
Seeing a standard version of the Eos makes me sleep but this modified one makes me drool. Fantastic car!
It has the Sirocco front end conversion which makes it look even better.
But then a 335i convertible will do almost the same performance with stock turbo's and overall another class of a car.
But MAD RESPECT for the HPA crew, always the sickest builds.
I think you'd need a turbo upgrade for 500whp and 600lb ft, I think the stockers run out of puff around 450 but this car is real out of the norm
I just picked up an 09 EOS. Would like to tune it, not to this extreme though. This is incredible!
Awesome video and HPA seems like a good tuner outfit. He seems more of a straight shooter than most. And your enthusiasm is infectious.
That engine sounds so beautiful!
i almost forgot eos's (?) even exists
is it me or is that a Sirocco nose ?
pretty sure it is indeed a Scirocco front end.
Yes it is
Scirocco
Watch the video you clown.
He says at the end that the customer requested it to be swapped for a Scirocco front end...for obvious reasons...
I’ve got a 2.0t 2009 Eos, definitely not comparable to this, but it’s definitely quick.
But...i can never get over how Matt doesn't look like he ever listens to people.
That thing sounds THE BUSINESS
Can't wait to see the two Golf's sitting there in the background. The graphics scream Big HP !
I had the chance to see their R32 that had made it into Gran Turismo 5 a few years back. They gladly started it up and shot fire out of the exhaust for me to see.
That has got to be the most epic sounding exhaust note of any EOS!
Thanks for the morning chuckle Matt! This car is truly hilarious. 😂
Same here...love it more and more every day
"He must have over a hundred grand under the hood of that car..."
@ 5:28 Matt is just grinning like he know the best kept secret. That thing jumps when the boost kicks in!! LOL!!
My mom has a vr6 eos😂 and that thing it pretty fast stock actually!
Hell even on a base 200 HP eos adding AWD would be cool. How much just to add AWD to an eos?
Sounds fantastic
Def one of the best sounding cars on One Take
One of the coolest cars hands down!
I was pleasantly surprised when I drove a stock EOS turbo. I thought it was gonna be slow, but it actually had some balls.
Which engine?
@@heywoodjablome5630 I personally have one with a classic 140hp TDI, I wouldn't call it fast (depends on your standards) but there is a nice boost when the turbo kicks in... and with the torque of a diesel not a lot of cars can keep up when I go uphill.

buddy know's his stuff! sweet ride. Happy Thursday!
I like this car much more then i expected well engineered
Looking thicc, Matt!
He never turns down cracking a cold one with the boys Andrew Murphy
What a great car!
I want one, gotta love the DSG
love seeing these unique cars!
HPA are absolute Legends! 👊👌👍
Jesus that thing can move, such a cool build to see out of a shop.
Another Great Build from HPA Motorsports!
I’m the Nich Guy!
Dang, wanted to watch this but I am so broke I can't pay my internet to watch TH-cam. So broke.
I'm watching at work because I need money so bad to pay for the car I can't afford to wash with Ammo products.
Did he really insult his viewers calling them broke in a previous video then proceed to ask us to buy his shirts?
Dirk Diggler yes he did...
@TheJoePepper WHAT HE SAY!? I didn't watch that!
Too bad I cant afford those awesome shirts, cause im just a youtube viewer 😭
3:02 HOLY CRAP!!! That's insane though that a car that miniscule-looking weighs a THOUSAND POUNDS more than my Integra. Dang.
If Matt's audience are so poor, who owns the cars that his entire career is based off?
I'm just here to see if anyone is still bitching about Matt insulting all of us yesterday
Macktasticslick what did he say?
Idiots been losing their minds on here over it, even though Matt was 100% correct, at least about me he was. People literally have zero sense of humour and it scares me.
oh ok, thanks mate
TheJoePepper supported him financially?? Just how much do you send Matt each month to watch his free content?
This car needs to be in Gran Turismo's list of HPA's
Car looks dope.. thee sleeper of all sleepers
These look great with the scirocco front end conversion.
Oh jeez this sounds AMAZING!
I have a VR6 eos... custom ordered from the factory, have been thinking about doing something like this, never knew it existed... however: from what the cost is, the upgrade costs more than the vehicle is worth, how would you insure something like this?
Searching Craigslist for a Eos now
A Han you have problems
Search on AutoTempest.com you'll get Craigslist,Ebay,and Cars.com and more so you'll Definitely find something.
A Han if you are in the Craigslist search better for R8 first gen it has better platform, mid engine, AWD and is far better all around, you will thank me latter. :)
A Han u can get a 2007 for like 8k here in Vancouver. They get up to like 25k for a 2012 with low kms.
i have an 08 vr6 eos
Man this is the video I've been waiting to see. One if your best top 5 videos with you laughing and enjoying the car and drive like the defender video when you went up the mountain side. Thanks man I'm going to check out dudes website
Great seats! What a build!
World's only automotive application of a single-head V at the moment. Lancia did it for years.
Who in their right mind would turbocharge an Eos? That guy is MAD! But I like it!
Are we not gonna talk about the scirocco front end? Looks much better than the standard Eos.
That is such a cool sleeper!
Love to have just the AWD added with rear wheel drive bias with either the standard turbo 4 or naturally aspirated VR for a true 4 season car.
It's doable tho, if you know someone who can cut and weld/spotweld.
The spare tyre well needs to be cut partially to make the haldex fit 👍
Easiest path would be to get a complete donor and swap everything over. The rear floor is not much different from fwd to 4wd
Hey Matt. Is an Audi SQ5 in the works?
I Love the VR6. Sound .
He says that twins take half the boost than a single to make whatever horsepower you want but in my opinion at all comes down to head work, I've seen a rb26 swapped Datsun 240z making 800whp on 14-15 psi with an efr 8374, with massive amounts of head work, stroker crank and forged pistons. If the owner wants just a turbo kit than yea you'll make more power with twins than a single but if they're going to get a built motor and some head work than a single can make as much power as twins
I have an r wagon, still contemplating on throwing money at it. Got a remap done, enough for me. Nice
I think they had some of these couple of years ago at eurocharged shop in Houston on display
Can I just put a Tiguan rear cradle in and get the AWD DSG, make up a drive line and call it a win?
That kit is going to go in my passat
WOW great video. This is a great EOS performance show.. I dont own one, but a friend of ours does. I think the owner might have been scared in the beginning.. I would have been too! Short wheelbase, 500hp, wow!
Matt, there is the W and Rotary configuration except inline, flat and V
Zoltan Benedek I think he was referring solely to v6 configurations
A w6 would be hilarious
A v4 with another row in the middle?
W anything is basically two vr motors
Love this build. Crazy!!
I want to see a 370z powertrain in a Nissan hardbody
TheReal NateDogg bad idea... you can't put any sort of suspension on those unless you
Literally slice up the bed and thus ruin the point of a truck
That would actually be sick as hell id drive it
Bob Sagit lol I said powertrain
Bob Sagit why do you think it such a bad idea..? As some one who has worked on some crazier builds of hard body's over the years...1 with a Jim wolf upgraded 300zx twin turbo drive train.....2 with a built 400+whp sr20 a 370z drive train would be nice and if you don't want leaf springs(That can handle pretty good with minor mods) they can be converted to 3-4 link and coilovers and still keep a functioning bed....
Had to wait till the end for any mention of the Scirocco front end- I'd have like to have heard more about how he managed to fit that.
They share the same platform and come from the same manufacturing plant in Portugal. Both cars' wheelbase are identical. So it probably wasn't that hard to fit it. They most likely grafted the front half of the Scirocco fenders to the back half of the Eos front fenders so that the body line on the doors would match up properly.
I’m not happy that they killed the 6 speed manual transmission after 2011 here in the USA
LMAO at 3:03, took off like a mad man! Wheel spin from an AWD, I tip my hat!
4:25 Is that reasoning valid? Wouldn’t boost pressure be boost pressure regardless of the number of turbos? Twins would just be more responsive down low?
evil like giggle kills me when accelerating! great car!
this is a fucking cool idea. props to this guy. 600fp of toruqe in an eos is nuts!
500 horsepower will just about fix anything. You always know it's going to be a good drive when Matt starts giggling like a little kid when he first steps on the gas. I wonder if he's ever had a run in with the highway patrol when driving cars up in the canyons?
How in the hell is this thing over 3600 lbs? As part of the build, do they pour cement into empty spaces inside the car?
Convertible reinforcement
I don't mind the EOS but I cannot for the life of me understand why they didn't bring the Scirocco over. Such a good looking vehicle
Man, everyone in the comment section is TRIGGERED ain't they?
This car needs a large duckbill spoiler wing, and Cosmis xt-006r machine lipped racing wheels.
I have the 2.0tfsi 200bhp. Not planning to do a engine swap but will be doing APR stage 4 but want the AWD system! He said he took it from an Audi TT right..
That's one hotmess of hood graphics. But aside from that, this looks really awesome.
What, do they detail that thing with sandpaper? You can see the swirls as he pans around the car.
500 HP can fix anything (unless you had 700 to begin with).
I wonder if this turbo kit would fit the 3.6 in Passat chassis and would the US-spec standard auto handle the extra oomph.
If Matt starts Giggling, you know it's good. Are these reliable? That's the concern here.
