How about giving it up for my sidekick today? Also I know you are dying to know more about the install and how to set the wastegate, and all that goodies. Dont worry we will dive deep into all that.
Love to see the fam starting to get involved in the humble things! My daughter has been hurting to get into some vids along with dad. Super job little helper!
I would love to see how the internal wastegate performs at only 20 PSI at high RPM. Also interested on the air to water intercooler and why the head spacer. Awesome kit man, never seen an HPA kit before.
HM spends his entire career methodically laying things out and approaching everything logically. Invites his daughter to unboxing, chaos ensues! Absolutely love it!
Definitely love to see the humble family taking part in everything. Your sidekick did awesome! Hopefully we'll see her be your little shop gremlin, getting tools and giving laughs. Id love to be able to do with with my children some day
Charles, the best part of my day was seeing this video. My girls shadow me for everything I do in the garage, yard or house. So awesome to see you brought your helper into the garage today too.
I love the planned(?) , "Holy Shift" box since daughter was helping and couldn't express it upon opening it! That downpipe! DUDE 👀, you Gotta be careful 👀 *video pauses* LOL I would too with mine
Really enjoying your videos man. I am a single dad and a mechanic. I bought a b6 a4 Audi and I am currently doing a 3.2vr6 swap and turbo setup. Please please keep everything updated for us if you have time. Subbed and liked BTW
Super excited for the build Charles! You were the one that got me into Volkswagens and have since been keeping mine working like a top. Can't wait for the VRT noises
I have the EFR 7163 on my 2015 A3, its a bad ass turbo. The motor is now built, once I upgrade, Ill be going with this turbo. These EFR turbos seem to be pretty damn bulletproof
That's a serious parts haul! When your helper dropped that box I was like 😱, but hopefully nothing fragile. Nice to see kiddo wanting to get involved though. Can't wait to see the build progressing now you have a mountain of parts.
Great video, looking forward to seeing the build. Must say I appreciate the fact that you reply/like 90% of the comments. Not many RUclipsrs take the time to do that!
"oooo I want a sticker" "... yeah maybe". Sorry sweetie, daddy needs that sticker for the toolbox (isn't that why we buy parts in the first place)? All jokes aside, great to see her in the garage. I love to involve my 5 year old in all of my car projects and maintenance... it doesn't always go as quickly as I'd like but it's such a wonderful hobby to share with my son. keep up the great work Charles.
Cute video! Can’t wait to watch you put it all on. Are you going to show putting the block back together and what had to be done to it to withstand the turbo?
Good stuff Charles, lots of nice goodies there for You to keep You from getting bored, little lady was very happy with her bubble wrap, it really is the simple things:):)
Yeeeess ! You got an EFR Turbo -Top Notch. I hate that most Vr6-T are build with laggy Garret turbos only to save some money, this thing will spool like hell !
I used HPA for my VR6 Mr2 build. The kit was pretty easy to assemble, I did have some trial and error with taking apart the upper chain tensioner to add the extended piston to it (turbo oil feed line), but in the end and 2 new tensioners later, it's all together. Oh and getting the timing right using their gigantic spacer and extended chain, that took some finesse.
So happy for you Charles and jealous at the same time. That kit will be AWESOME when you get it all installed. How much that set you back??? Your helper is adorable. You are blessed my friend
Possibly the bravest thing I've ever seen Charles do. I love my 8y/o son so so much, but if I were unboxing thousands of dollars worth of performance car parts there would be a strict "look but don't touch" rule going on. Hope your heart didn't skip too many beats during that dude! Looking forward to the series.
Love the content as always. Great helper and greater parts. Pre Christmas unwrapping is the way to go plus a turbo. Quick question i noticed the spec clutch at the end of the video and i have a mk4 gti vr6 with a 3.2 swap. What clutch do you have for the 500whp setup because in the future i plan to go rotrex c38 supercharger for the 3.2 and make mid 400 wheel hp daily. What clutch do you have for your r32 and what do you recommend?
Good Q! this is the stage 3 with their SMF. HPA says it's good to hold the power. I looked at South Bend, and their only clutch option, according to them, was the drag clutch.
HumbleMechanic ok thank you do you think i could get a way with stage two clutch. It holds about 411 ft lbs of torque. And another question i was contemplating on the hpa liquid cool intake manifold however because mine would be a daily do you think i should stick with a regular air to air intercooler to simplify things and less supporting parts to break? What is your opinion on that?
That turbo looks big enough to swallow little kids, WOW!!. As far as helpers, I think Jason and Paul have some serious competition, she's the best help I've seen you with : )Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
That is one thicc headspacer. I used to have one on my old stock bottom end vrt golf, but it was nowhere near that thick. Is that a 7:1? Anyway, love all of the parts and your awesome assistant. Looking forward to the build.
Soo cool but I am also so envious. I am on the lookout to buy another R32 to put go fast parts on. You and several others have inspired me to keep my current R32 stock since it is in really good condition. I have been looking at the HPA kit for over 4 years now, it just comes with a hefty bill. I am thinking of doing the TTRS trans swap and maybe doing the FTX600 but idk if I want to go through the hassle of getting the engine bored. Any idea if the mk5 3.2 is more or less a direct swap?
Hey Charles thanks for sharing information on this old vehicles. But man i have some doubts about going isto turbo on a NA vr6. In this type of conversion do you keep the original ECU? How does the original ecu understands whats going on (more air going in the engine). Regarding the turbo how does the control of it is done? How is done the mariage of all that? Thanks Afonso from Portugal
Great videos and very informative. Looking to get back into a Mk4 r32 . Love the R! Thinking of going the HPA turbo route, but what issue would I have getting it smoged down the road with a Turbo? 👍
haha what a coincidence, I'm redesigning a few issues with their kit on a customer's mk5 r32 right now..... maybe it'll finally be ready to make serious power once I'm done
Access to the plugs will be tricky with that manifold, will you still be able to run coil on plug ? Or will it have to be coil pack and leads like the 12v?
Very awesome that you had your daughter in there helping you out. Is it bad that my dad instincts kicked in and I got super nervous when she was picking everything up lol? My kids are super destructive, chances are they would have launched something across the room 😆

Def watching this on Thanksgiving 😂 thanks! Happy Thanksgiving
Did you tell her she was getting a turbo for Christmas 🎄 🤣

Im sure the bubble wrap will be the winner of the day

Charles and Child is a video series I would watch, it’s supremely adorable and wholesome ❤️❤️
Yes. Adorable. She is a perfect assistant and should be the test driver 😁
2:53 - Charles' stress-o-meter just registered peak numbers !🤣
@@actionrjackson Stress? Wait till she starts dating and wants to borrow the R32.
When you tell a vr6 guy "damn it both my head gaskets failed" and hes just like huh??? 😂
LOL Luckly these HG are pretty good.
I think what confused people the most with my VRT build breakdown was that I only had 1 head.
Charles' face when the kid dropped the box jaja. I'm sure that box had it worst wille in transit :p
Loved the video
Definitely love to see the humble family taking part in everything. Your sidekick did awesome! Hopefully we'll see her be your little shop gremlin, getting tools and giving laughs. Id love to be able to do with with my children some day
Thank you! She said “I think I’ll be in a video like every other week”. Hahaha
Of course man! I can't wait to see what awesome antics you two get up to in the future. Keep up the good work charles!
Oh man, I cant wait for all the videos of the install. This is gonna be so much fun
“Oo I want the sticker!”
“Erm Maybe..” 😂😂
that was so funny
"Daddy, watch this metal snail shell eat rocks.... it's likes them... hehhe!"
Charles, the best part of my day was seeing this video. My girls shadow me for everything I do in the garage, yard or house. So awesome to see you brought your helper into the garage today too.
Thanks man. She’s my best little bud.
The child is more excited than charles 😂
May god bless her 🙏
I love the planned(?) , "Holy Shift" box since daughter was helping and couldn't express it upon opening it! That downpipe!
DUDE 👀, you Gotta be careful 👀 *video pauses* LOL I would too with mine
Hahaha it was a happy accident

8:19 looks like you're getting into bracket racing
Just found your channel. Been daily driving my DBP R33 since 2007 (get her with 28k miles). Been dreaming of doing a turbo kit some day
Great video, looking forward to seeing the build. Must say I appreciate the fact that you reply/like 90% of the comments. Not many RUclipsrs take the time to do that!
I have been waiting so long for this video
ME TOO!
Best assistant ever. Gets paid in bubble wrap. Win/Win!
Facts!
Can't wait to see the build taking shape!
"oooo I want a sticker" "... yeah maybe". Sorry sweetie, daddy needs that sticker for the toolbox (isn't that why we buy parts in the first place)? All jokes aside, great to see her in the garage. I love to involve my 5 year old in all of my car projects and maintenance... it doesn't always go as quickly as I'd like but it's such a wonderful hobby to share with my son. keep up the great work Charles.
HHAHAHA FACTS
Just got done with my cts kit and hpa touch motion. What a transformation. I can’t wait to see your reaction to the touch motion controller settings
The sidekick was full on energy! That's a nice turbo kit. Would love to get one on my 2008 r32.
Cute video!
Can’t wait to watch you put it all on. Are you going to show putting the block back together and what had to be done to it to withstand the turbo?
Great video of you and your little helper. I look forward to the upcoming videos of the build and eventually driving the car. 👍
Good stuff Charles, lots of nice goodies there for You to keep You from getting bored, little lady was very happy with her bubble wrap, it really is the simple things:):)
2:52 dude you got to be careful lol that sounded so cool
Every one is happy in this video! Charles love the parts and the assistant love the wrap. Just like my little ones. 😂 “wish you had a turbo blanket” 😝
Haha thanks :)
Kiddos face when you say "its pre christmas christmas" lit up like my check engine un my mk4 golf 🤣
Hahahahah she was so excited
Yeeeess ! You got an EFR Turbo -Top Notch. I hate that most Vr6-T are build with laggy Garret turbos only to save some money, this thing will spool like hell !
It’s awesome that your kid is excited to help out!
You're literally going to build my dream car.
Good stuff.
Maybe I’ll sell it when I’m done. Lol
Can’t wait to see the installation! Early Christmas indeed!
This video is like the HumbleMechanic is on heaven. I'm excited for you! Can't wait to see when you have it all assembled and ready to go!
So excited for this project! It’s also clear you’re a stellar dad.
Most adorable unboxing!! Can't wait to see you get started!

Good insight. I’m so excited to get moving
Can't wait to see it fly! Took me two solid days to do the build, in a not so nice garage.
Great Charles! My significant other all of a sudden displayed interest in automotive videos!
Nice!!! Time to buy a turbo!
What an awesome Lego set, and awesome helper "bubble wrap! "
Win win
Stumbled upon your channel recently, really enjoyed your videos so far and this one was great! gives me some inspiration for a turbo build on my R32
Awesome
Great assistant there! No one can resist bubble wrap and empty boxes. :) So much work ahead, but exciting.
Yep. Its life as a kid. (or a kid like adult)
@@HumbleMechanic next project make a cardboard mansion with an indoor swimming pool made of bubblewrap 😂👍🏾
The only one unboxing video I watched in full
Cant wait to see the results of this build!
Hey Charles, I was thinking of doing almost exactly what you are doing. That is quite the kit. I cant wait to see how this goes...
So happy for you Charles and jealous at the same time. That kit will be AWESOME when you get it all installed. How much that set you back??? Your helper is adorable. You are blessed my friend
It set me am back about 5x what I spent on the car. Lol. But hopefully it’s worth it
You're a very fortunate man, Mr. HumbleMechanic.
Insanely fortunate
Thumbs up for your great assistant!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Possibly the bravest thing I've ever seen Charles do.

Hope your heart didn't skip too many beats during that dude! Looking forward to the series.
Hahaha yeah. We had to have a dude chill chat. But I was also careful to grab the real high dollar stuff
Awesome. It’s the video we’ve all been waiting for!!
wow what an amazing kit! that water to air is sick!
lol she’s so excited with you. Awesome video man
Reminds me of my daughter and myself when I get big stock deliveries!
Looking forward to this one! 🙌🏻
Awesome! Go-fast goodies!
And a fantastic assistant!
Excellent video, thanks for sharing!
Santa better bring your helper some great presents this year....in many boxes! Great vid!
Yep. Many boxes filled with bubble wrap. Haha
What a little cutie! What a party 🎉 That golf is going to bark.
can't wait for the install Charles!
Thanks bro
Much love Charles!! Always great content from you! Keep it up🤘
Running 500whp through the stock transmission will make it a time bomb!
HPA Nice! Fells like I'm opening boxes LOL
This gets me excited for my tdi build. Just ordered my crafter pistons for alh
Awesome assistant!
Thats gonna be a FAST car
I LOVE BUBBLE WRAP! IT'S THE BEST THING ABOUT NEW CAR PARTS!
I love popping those bubbles too.
Awesome assistant. Happy Thanksgiving brother 🔧🔧

That is a super early christmas for you Charles. That must have cost an arm and a leg. I wish I could get my GTi stage 2 kit in 1 shot like this...LOL
That turbo looks big enough to swallow little kids, WOW!!. As far as helpers, I think Jason and Paul have some serious competition, she's the best help I've seen you with : )Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
HAHA She is for sure the star of the show.
Cant wait, that turbo is huge 😍

Dang youtube unsubbed me from your channel at some point im glad i found it again 💖
Buy yourself car parts give the bubble rap to the kids and the box to the cat.

Me too!!! Got 2 other things to wrap up then we get the engine rolling
Amazing vídeo Charles, bubble wraps!!
THANK YOU!!!
This is the FTX500 Kit correct Charles?
Best unboxing ever !
Love your girl :)
The kid is a natural. Maybe a future You Tuber?
Haha totally. I have about 1tb of footage she filmed for her RUclips channel. Lol
That was some wholesome stuff Charles. You couldn’t keep up with all the stuff she was grabbing 😂
Hahahha she was all about it.
Great videos and very informative. Looking to get back into a Mk4 r32 . Love the R! Thinking of going the HPA turbo route, but what issue would I have getting it smoged down the road with a Turbo? 👍
It should retain all OEM emissions
haha what a coincidence, I'm redesigning a few issues with their kit on a customer's mk5 r32 right now..... maybe it'll finally be ready to make serious power once I'm done
Interesting. Keep me posted
@@HumbleMechanic would you prefer to have a private chat?
Access to the plugs will be tricky with that manifold, will you still be able to run coil on plug ? Or will it have to be coil pack and leads like the 12v?
So excited for this!!!
Very awesome that you had your daughter in there helping you out. Is it bad that my dad instincts kicked in and I got super nervous when she was picking everything up lol? My kids are super destructive, chances are they would have launched something across the room 😆
lol yeah we had a couple of “dude chill out” chats
@@HumbleMechanic that's about how it would go over here lol... you're a brave man 😆
Please show all details how you're gonna build the turbo. It's very interesting
She is so excited with bublewrap!
It’s the best. Haha
Charles and your little girl should definitely do more on the r32 turbo together! Daddy n daughter build💪🏼
Heck yea. I’m planning to have her out here more
Tiny chaos monster
Great video. Very cute. You’re a braver man than I am though. You know a missing part will be enjoying a dolls tea party somewhere
11/10 would hire assistant
It looks like Christmas has come early for someone.😀
