In this video I share with you a quick impromtu drive and walkaround tour of Racingline's 520 PS 7.5 Golf R demonstrator which normally lives at Awesome GTI in Manchester. The main aim of the video is to explain how this Golf has ended up with 210 more horsepower than stock and to demonstrate its performance as best as I can responsibly on the public highway.

That's not turbo lag. It's called being in the wrong gear. If you put any car, turbo or non turbo in a high gear and try to pull away it will not pull away fast. That is most definitely not lag
Not sure what your point is. It’s a lot laggier than a standard turbo car in the same gear/rpm, even Racingline admit this and tune the gearbox to work around it in auto mode. Sure 7th gear wasn’t the best choice hence why I changed down but in either gear there was more lag
He knows what turbo lag is 😂
@@vagwiz Hi, i think the point i was badly trying to make is yes there will be a certain amount of lag on all turbo charged cars and more on heavily modified cars like that but it's not as bad as you are portraying it to be. All cars will take time to build up speed if your in the wrong gear for the speed your travelling. ( Turbo or non turbo) If your in the right rev range in the right gear the lag is non existent. You used to be able to take a mk2 3.8 Jag from 0 to 100 all in the same 4th gear but until you reached the optimum speed for that 4th gear it was a very slow process. Hope all this waffle has made it slightly clearer what i'm trying to get across
@Max Torque It's not good for the engine but it's part of the testing process and the gearbox allowed me to select that gear - if it was so bad the DSG's programming wouldn't allow it
@@chrisyoung5573
"but it's not as bad as you are portraying it to be" - you are seeing the car as it is behaving, that's the beauty of video, it's as bad or good as it is on the screen. It's no surprise that it does what it does because it's a BIG turbo and the trade off for some lag is explosive performance in the powerband which is the overriding impression that the video gives.
That exhaust sounds 💩 im afraid, chavtastic almost, poor engine needs at least another cylinder if it wants to sound like a real car
Wow. Guess it doesn't meet the requirements for sale with your dealer then Andrew?😂
wow lol but i would stick to the standard golf r est 7.5 its more then enough lol. 😁
That car would scare me. I wouldn't want it, I don't have the talent.
very interesting...presumably the ea888 engine internals are unchanged? dont think i could sleep at night wondering when the bottom end cries enough!
Andrew. A main dealer in Melbourne has a Mk8 Golf R in Lapis Blue listed at $85,000 Aussie dollars. I don't think the order book is open for one either. They are so hard to get but the price is crazy. We have not had them down under for that long either. What a market. Cheers.
This car sounds like a baby trying to blow bubbles when revved at a standstill 🤣
The exhaust definitely needs some work but for the purposes of the video it's a laugh 😁
@@volkswizard Hahaha! It was great, nothing wrong with a touch of comedy in a car. And you clearly had a lot of fun driving it!
Great golf content delivered with authority 👌 what can I say about the upgrades that hasn’t already been said. . .love the unique racingline paint job and in a 3 door too 👍😎
Nice bit of tunnel action there, Andrew. And who could blame you, eh? Awesome job from RacingLine and a great review.
Thanks David - more fun under the M1 than on it, that is for sure!
I've said it before in one of your cupra videos : i'm really appreciating that you're not only showing the cars in their assumed operating range but instead also on lower rpm which gives you a really good idea about the responsiveness of some turbo setups. Great video, as always!
Thank you so much No Name! Glad you appreciate the in-gear response testing, beauty of it is that it's easy to demonstrate it legally on the road and is more important that standing start or v-max demonstrations 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@volkswizard _and is more important that standing start or v-max demonstrations_
Couldn't agree more mate!
My 2019 MK 7, with 228 HP is more than enough for me and 70 mph speed limits. I can’t imagine driving the same car with more than double the HP. Great video, as usual. Thanks, RickGTI….. 🇺🇸
was the prototype Garett turbo the 2563S "Powermax II"?
Love it sounds amazing - the tunnel moment was lol - love the 3 door which are sadly becoming extinct. With being an R the AWD, the decals it’s great package - and such a great test bed and so well tuned and integrated like an OEM factory special 🎯👏🥳
All them pops and bangs is just ridiculous and unnecessary
It’s true but it’s fun in short doses and you can swap modes to stop them
I’d pay not to have them or the broken sounding board exhaust. Or the decals. But then it’s an advert car
First! This is already gonna be a good one!
I wasn't wrong. Holy sh!t!
We need more hooning video's like this from you 😂😊
Thanks but don't think my licence can take it 😁
Hope you don’t mind me asking are you going to be trading soon?
I’m looking to buy a Vw Polo.
Love the video, I’d kill myself in that!
Hi Ally, no plans to start trading yet, market is still too volatile sadly. That car definitely needs a lot of care
Its Addictive fly by the seat of your Pants .. Almost as Fun as watching the Miles to Empty goes as fast as Speed
I didn't look at mpg but big turbo means big fuel bill *IF* you use the performance on a regular basis, I'd be curious to know how it compares to an RS6 which is probably similar level of perfomance albeit in a much more refined package
Isn't racingline st3 currently using an hybrid is38 turbo + upgraded hpfp? How would it compare to this big turbo setting,in terms of turbo lag etc? (power output is said to be a little less ,about 490hp) . Is this gonna be a viable option on their store?
Thank you so much.
“Flippin hell” 😂 Another great video Wiz 👍🏼
Thanks Ray! I've learned it's easier not to swear in the first place than have to edit it out later :)
great evaluation great car
Matt from Carwow is salivating...let's have it
I’m not sure on the black wheels but look at shadow chrome I think it will work nicely it will match the colour of the clubsport s decal also
I had a 7.5R with similar power. Great car and ran well over 500bhp and 500lbft for over 3 years as my daily driver and track car. Immense fun and never got tired of the power. I had a different exhaust (REMUS) which sounded more rounded than the one in the video. 0-60 in 3 flat. 100-200kph in 6.5 and standing quarter in 10.7 at 130mph all at full weight on road tyres. This car would be around the same in figures at a guess.
I'm getting the impression it's pretty quick haha
It makes s**t departing shovels look somewhat lethargic
Great video Wiz keep up the good work
Grate car & vid ,,no tested 0-100 -100 -200 -1/4 times ..,tuners & shops have been doing this for 4/5 years now lol... what took RL so long 😅
Great content as always. I'm currently debating whether to go big turbo on my 7.5 GTI PP, I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's done it, I'm wondering at what power does it become too much for fwd, and how does it effect the engine's overall reliability/bottom end/pistons etc?
I've got an is38 golf r turbo on my 2017 polo GTI 1.8tsi which is making around 400hp and i can tell you anything over 350hp is too much for a fwd car especially if you want day to day driveability.
These engines are solid and are good for up to 500hp before needing some internal work done to keep things from blowing up.
@@WaseemKhan-iu4bh many thanks for the reply, that's really useful to know. Maybe I'll just stick to some handling mods instead.
Your expressions 😁priceless, having too much fun.
Thanks, and I definitely wasn't faking it 😲
Your actually enjoying those pops and bangs 3.20 …. If u love vws u love them all 🎉🎉
I loved the cringe reaction to your tunnel moment 🤦🏻♂️🤣 Very impressive state of tune though and there’s no escaping lag with dinner plate sized turbos without the impracticalities and short working life of anti-lag.
I’m a newish owner of a slightly breathed upon 7.5 R and the thought of 120hp on top of what mine has is eye watering.
Frazzled my brain 😊👍
I actually really miss old fashioned lag, I had a WRX with PPP a few years back and it was such a difference between on and off boost that it was like being hit with a sledgehammer and it never got boring
Amazing car :) and it’s a golf brilliance:)
Love what your doing on your club sport s
Fantastic videos:)
Thanks so much Jonathon!
The thing is about the Golf R and S3 unless you get the DSG Fart on every gear change they’re a relatively boring car. I think that exhaust with all the pops and bangs would get tedious after a couple of weeks. They’re only good for driving on the limit which is not possible to do in everyday conditions
Perfect daily cars they do everything to a good standard its funny watching fwd and rwd drive cars try keep up in the bad weather for the last few months, dsg suits them there's better manuals out there. Pops and bangs I'm not keen on mine only pops when you let off the throttle on sport mode
I can't wait to tune my Cupra Ateca with the same base engine. It's the 300HP/400NM tune of it. I still have 4 years 11 months warranty remaining LOL so I just can't bring myself to do it yet but I know I won't wait the full 5 year warranty period. There is only one Cupra dealer per state in Australia, all sales are done online really, and he told me they don't have the infrastructure set up like VW and Audi do where it automatically reports if the car has been tuned when taken to service, so I am trying to negotiate a deal with him to keep quiet about it so I can at least do a Stage 1+ for now (ECU tune and Gearbox tune). In a few years I will definitely go to 2+ and when totally out of warranty, assuming the car has been reliable, I will go all the way to Stage 3. It's just such a comfortable car that I don't want to get rid of it, even if I do get a performance EV next. I am 6ft4 and this little Ateca is THE most comfortable car I have ever owned. I also owned an RSQ3 in 2016, the second engine revision of the original model. That's mum's now. I was comfy in that but nothing is like the Ateca. The wheel and seat have so much adjustability that I think anyone from 4ft10 to 6ft7 would be able to find a perfect position. I LOVE taking it for long interstate drives like you did in the RSQ3. I have already taken it up north, 1700KM each way, and will take it all the way to Perth later in the year (from one side of Australia to the complete opposite other).
I love the EA888 and really enjoyed this video. Love Golf R's. Just too low for me to get comfortable.
I know it doesn't have the new rear torque differential of the MK8 but I just prefer the MK7 due to the interior having real buttons everywhere. It also seems better made to me, but that's just my opinion.
O dear, really what's the point ? Why do you need a golf with 520 hp, unless of course you've got a really small package
Base Golf for you my man, with 90hp then. Big Boy😂😂😂😂
DSG are fast but nothing beat the fun of a manual
manuals are shite compared to the DSGs
"fun" can be had in any run of the mill car with a slow ass manual stick transmission
DSG is a big part of what makes the R great
@@orbytl2799 again the "Your AUTOMATIC is faster. Just say u can drive a manual & leave it at that 😂
@@kawzx777 ive been driving manuals for years, like i said, my run of the mill cars all have such transmission🤣
its not really "fun" is it?
its just more like an old cliche that keeps getting rolled out by folk justifying the fact they have a shit transmission in their motor in comparison
"its more fun and engaging" rofl, yeah of course it
@orb ytl ok my guy. I'm just confused on why your so juiced up & angry about me favoring manual over auto transmission. Hav a good day sir.
@@kawzx777 im not angry and must apologise if i came across that way :)
i just dont understand the manual being fun thing then i noticed you are maybe american?
makes sense if that is the case
you guys been driving autos for too long
in the uk pretty the vast majority of every car had manual trans until recent years
Tunnel,
.. hell yeah...
👊
Andrew, by the excitement in your voice and the look on your face while driving, it was as if Christmas morning had come again in April! I can only imagine the experience, but, thanks for taking us along!👊
Would love to meet up if you’re over in Milton Keynes another time!
What a beautiful ca(R)… love the exhaust sound too.
That's just awesome....😂😂
What an Awesome Car! ;) Really good review too :) :)
Thanks 👍
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Is that a Garrett powermax 2 turbo?
I think so
Your expressions are priceless. Cool review.
What exhaust is this? @volkswizard
