I absolutely adore your videos but Diesel needs more airtime. He is such a sweetheart and it is so heartwarming to see that he loves you unconditionally. Take good care of that baby. ❤️
Great stuff Adam. The car is coming together very well. It's just a shame some people disliked the video despite it being so well made. Remember to always stay motivated.
@@AdamSwords thanks man, I should have just watched your build vid. Looking for some better tyres that have a little better meat on them for weather and the roads that still have some performance to them, and really don't want to have to swap when summer is done if possible. Don't really know if that kinda cake I could eat too.👍
so i was thinking about swtiching to 034's tune from unitronic. when i got my tune, nobody else let you tune the car yourself and now everyone does and im sure theres better tunes out now. how happy are you with 034's? i can get a good discount on one
@@AdamSwords thats sick. i may move to arizona. so i may do those trans and oil coolers just for safety sake. unfortunately, it looks like the euro scene in AZ is weak. and 91 octane suuuuuuuucks
You got to get Michael to do some drag pulls with you with one of his cars to show off your speed💯love the upgrades congrats on an awesome build....keep the videos coming mate 🤘
Why is it bogging down on launch? it seems to cough then rev? no wheel spin at all? I would have thought with the max torque youa re launching with the wheels should at least chirp?
So we just realised it still has “acceleration smoothing” enabled. Apparently if I switch that off with OBDEleven it should launch harder. I’m gonna do a video a see
Ooooh! Those Trailing Arm Swingers are going to be expensive! They're going to have to be bespoke engineered on site in order to maintain proper freshness at point of installation in the highly discreet and remote position and location, in order to pass inspection. Nature of the beast, I'm afraid.
Hi Adam 4.1 is really impressive to get more you would have improve the air flow through the head big job, head porting would get you under 4 but is it worth it, oh and just to be clear if you accidentally put steering fluid in the brake res you will have to replace every rubber component in your brakes, right I'm off to remortgage my house to invest with Nile Niami.
Adam, you need to take that video down on the PM channel. You and Michael are great but you can’t be getting caught up on this guys madness. It’s irresponsible to keep it up, he’s pitching to have people invest in his crazy scheme and you guys are endorsing it, not good.
No we don’t, there’s plenty of ‘mad ideas’ that have taken off in the past. Elon Musk built a flamethrower because he wanted to raise $1M. Gwyneth Paltrow made candles that smelled of her vagina. Who are we to sensor people’s ideas? If you don’t want to invest, don’t. But we aren’t going to sensor somebody else’s ideas just because some people may think they’re far fetched. There’s a fine line between genius and insanity and it’s not for us to determine where that is.

Lovely car Adam. I had a MkII Golf GTI on a P plate. Leather interior, fairly rare! It was a great little car in town, throwing it around the place. I then lent it to my friend who went out and smashed it, writing it off. Very disappointing.
I have no feckin idea what you are talking about, but you still made more sense than that guy on Michael's channel today. Can you fit virtual Shark tanks on cars?
@@AdamSwords Haha I think you mean "Track days", because if you test your cars performance on a closed road, then you probably aren't on to be taking your car to the track. -- I got 2 tickets for "exhibition of speed" while never breaking the speed limit, just accelerating too fast. Today I drive a bog standard VW Passat.
The sound... Sounds like a ak47.... Great jobb! 👌☝️🔥 Have fun keep your mind clear with positive thoughts and keep up the good work with your video's ✅ greetings from Amsterdam
You haven't said if you are experiencing those "improved curves" while driving. Because otherwise what's the point of splurging for a stage 2, other than preparing it for a stage 3 of course. By the way it better hit at least 420HP when you do the stage 3, the 2021 model starts at 320HP!
Stage 3 is over 500hp. A EQT stage 2 tune E30 plus DSG stage 2 your making at least 400whp. I seen a MK7.5 in green with the EQT stage 2 E30 tune running 11.4 at my local track Toronto Motorsports Park.
Loving this tuning content, on the power side of things though, that bhp & torque curve doesn’t surprise me why you’re not getting sub 4 0-62’s, on a drag like that you’ll be switching gears at above 5k but at that point the power is less than stock? looking at it you’re only getting the same time thanks to initial 1st gear rev pull? Would you not want a more linear curve across the Rev range?
@@AdamSwords just watched again and yes, I was totally reading it wrong 🙈, all those lines / colours / dashes had me.. looks good for sub4 than, surprised it didn’t, did the DSG map get fettled with as well, like you say, ECU probably just needs to come to terms with the changes..
at stage 2 you should be pushing at least 400hp minimum. Super confused why your basically pushing a little over stock R numbers. I didnt watch the whole video so maybe Im missing something but can someone explain?
Does being a photographer inherently make you good a interior design, I know it a weird question that has nothing to do with the video. But I was watching an old Q&A of yours and wanted to ask?
It's good to get an update on the Golf. Can't help think it could do with a more aggressive front and rear bumper. The front bumper could be a little deeper, and have another set of fog lights/driving lights. The rear could also be a little deeper and encase the exhaust tips a little more so they don't protrude so much. I am just nit-picking of course and think you've done a great job with the car. Did you time your 0-60 on the same road? Sometimes it can look flat but actually be a slight incline.
@@AdamSwords forgive the terminology 😂 it just seems to bog down a lot when you launch, almost like it’s not fully utilising the boost you built up with the launch control
Why? If you've seen the video then you already know it's not exactly going to help promotion. I think Michael dealt with it professionally and gave him slack. Unfortunate that they guy took that slack to hang himself with, but it was fascinating viewing.
I appreciate the tuning process and it is probably fun watching the car evolve. However, I cant really get.my head around the money spent on car and tuning, you could have brought something that had that power already from stock. Great video though. Really enjoy your content mate.
A tuned golf r will out perform almost anything near its price range. I have a stage 2 GTI running E30 and I smoke cars that are much more expensive than mine. I paid 19k and probably have 5k invested in mods. So at 24k I have a very light and quick car. I beat sti’s and they cost way more out of the door.
“Mexico” 🤣
Down pipe , intercooler and thats alll you need .!!! 🔥
This God car is going to save the world!
Did I read this right? Does he have “Brazzers” on his license mount? 😳🤣🤣🤣 what the heck Adam? 🤣
Go with a downpipe / intercooler/ EQT stage 2 tune. Your times will improve dramatically.
Yeah I dont know why he hasnt got a downpipe or intercooler, but went for trans and oil cooling which isnt necessary even at stage 2. Also, those milteks sound bad
this is what i thought he was gnna do jus stg 2 tune intercooler and dwnpipe smh
"closed road" - old Honda Accord drives by 🤣 🤣

Best iv gotten on my 7.5 R was 3.7 that's intagrated engineering stg2 ecu and tcu I think there tunes are a little bit more aggressive than 034's tune
II AGREE I ALSO HAVE IE TUNES. WAY BETTER THEN 034 TUNE…
