matthew follows you are so on point, most youtubers are on the bhp trajectory that completely misses the most essential point of a sports car which is drivability, character and soul of the car. All these 2000 bhp on a car designed as a performance car is a miss, I have seen them race super cars with 450 bhp and lose.
@@nepaleseman1010 at last, one intelligent comment... I do many many tracks with my 360 hp golf R and most of the people that comes with 400-500 hp cars on stock engines don't last too long and need to stop after 2 laps for cooling etc Maximum reliability and a flat and nice torque figures are the best if you care about your car...
Awesome power I drive a Golf 7R Stage 3 plus also making good power 530hp fully forged motor this is one of the best cars to modified and getting good results my draggy times 0 till 60 3.2s 100 to 200 7.2s and quarte mile 11.2 fully trimmed nothing stripped out and know this is a 10s car.
new subscriber here; great job detailing the differences between the parts, very helpful and cool of the shop to take the time to talk about and let you film it all! nothing worse than seeing all mk7 owners only ever talk stages but when you ask technical specifics they couldn’t even begin to tell you what was done or why. good luck with the new setup!
Good figures for a stock engine i have 32k in mine now it will be at all the uk shows this year ! You will se it when it’s revealed ! More carbon that you’ve ever seen on a uk car 👌🏻
parts prices are all over the website, labor varies but it’s roughly $1000 us dollars to install all 3 parts, tuning varies but roughly $400-800 us dollars for a custom tune.
Your at the limit now without going internals, intercooler, dsg clutch packs etc but hence why the mk7r is such a tuners car just crazy what you can achieve just off a stage 2
Spikey Mikey Crazy isn’t it? Was just thinking of all the fuss to get older 2.0 T’s to 400bhp, let alone 500bhp! Years ago I did a forged 2.5 in my sti, big injectors, parallel fuel mod, big turbo, FMIC fitting etc etc and it still didn’t even make 400bhp! Loads of planning, parts and hassle, now a day in a mint workshop and you can get a VW golf to 500bhp! I wouldn’t re-think a GTR though, at least the Rest of the GTR will take the power. I wouldn’t want to bet on the golf’s transmission liking 500bhp forever.
Mr. Airgun wow you must of had something majorly wrong to not make even 400 bhp, mine made nearly 550 bhp on a 2.1 closed deck block rotated gt30 set up in my classic, on a gt35 an easy 600 bhp. Hell I made 412 bhp on a tiny td05 20g lol before when the car had the standard non forged 2.0.
Bruce Wayne this was on a 20g too, mapped by the late JGM at SRR (not an OTT reading dyno) and was tweaked a bit on the road. But I was just making the point of how relatively little amount of work needs to be done on these modern cars to make the power when I think back to everything I did. They don’t even need to change injectors to run over 500bhp, things just seem a lot easier these days to make power on. Going back to my cossie days a 500bhp cossie would have been a rare magazine feature, now anyone can drop their golf off for the day & pick it up later with 500bhp. Mind you, I still have two imprezas and I can’t imagine one of these new cars keeping my interest for more than a week. My mate has a new S3, remapped etc. It’s impressive but in the same way it’s impressive a microwave can cook food so quickly!
@@mr.airgun6921 Mr. Airgun how cool simon mapped my car too also at Surrey rollers and tweaked on road not long before he became ill, i still have his map on the car even now all these years on. Yes i agree that theres alot less needing doing now days to get numbers, i have a comp pack m6 and with a few bits from evolve we are talking 800 bhp just like that but im also of the thought that time will tell as all these modern engines and dct gearboxes start to age on what the limits are and what the long term damage if any will be in many years to come as it takes time for things to slowly wear and eventually break. I still own my Impreza too but its kind of turned in to a garage investment now and its sorn and barely driven, its a p1 with full gt30 6 speed dccd set up with r180 diffs, shafts etc etc etc. Still a beast by modern standards doing 100 in just under 7 seconds on syvecs lc using good old fashioned hands an twin plate to change gear lol..these new cars make the power and have the quick gearboxes but they are also fat too, mine weighs about 1260 kg's which by today's standards is modern fiesta weight lol.
Bruce Wayne Blimey, that’s some spec! Mine are just a lowly V6 sti and a WRX wagon. Funnily enough I got the base 2.5 for my old type r (I spoke of above) off a big power P1 owner, didn’t sell it to me about 11 years ago? I hadn’t used my sti for nearly 2 years until a couple of weeks ago, put a smile on my face! P1 is a good investment no doubt but it’s almost a shame cars go that way as it makes you reluctant to use them. Can’t imagine what it must be like today owning a 22b that you bought 10 years ago, takes the enjoyment out.
I Only subscribed for this build, it’s epic. I want you to please make a video that goes into details for the modification stages and whether you can skip the others and what’s the best for the most power with reliability
for the record, for everyone saying this XXX is the figure for max hp before breaking.... every engine is different... your car was made for 300hp. i would say anything stage 1 and above and you could potential blow. good luck and i cant wait for more reviews! yall got drag strips over there so we can get some proper quarter mile times?
At this moment he is at a proper stage 2 if you wanna go further you gotta upgrade internals dsg clutch and probebly halldex otherwise engine would break
gotta ask--- I'm sure yours is comp but REALISTICALLY what's the cost?? turbo +tune?? does the tune come with multiple files or paying for each one?? same with the dyno... charge for each run?? day charge?? part of the tune??
That's a proper upgrade, well done! I am curious to see the dyno result once you get a proper tune up. I imagine you'll be planning some brake mods as well if you are thinking of pushing towards the 550bhp figure, you are almost doubling the power compared to standard, not that you'll be going faster than 70 of course :)
Absolutely sick man! Love it, the R is an animal now. Can’t wait for the first drive, I bet this thing is going to pull so hard. Gotta love the feeling of very strong boost pulls!!
Just ran my gti on the dyno with the tomioka ihx600 turbo. Pulled a lot of timing on the dyno since the car was hot and it was 82 degrees outside. On 32 psi(2.2 bar) it made 503 whp and have torque at 430 whtq. I think in 40 degree weather I'd be making another 20-30 whp. Dragy 60-130 mph time of 7.48 best with a 2 percent decline which would be like 7.6 with no decline. I can't get my gti to launch good though. My 60-100 mph was 3.74 seconds and 100-130 was also 3.74 seconds.
@@techmaster777 Nice! what mods do you got and what fuel? Man I was close to getting an MK7 and instead got a 10th gen Si and I am regretting it so much these new Si motors are so weak =(
Damn the internals for a mk7 are strong as hell. I have a mk5 and with my stage 3 I’m going to I need to get up graded rods 🤦🏾♂️. Pistons are fine there forged from factory for the mk5s
So how do they get the screamer pipe not to spit flames when on the dyno as the bonnet is up and on your video of the focus the screamer pipe was spitting big flames?
Quality video man one of my favourites because you seen the turbo build aswell. What did they say about maintenance ect and how long the engine will last
Your channel is amazing. How you're not at 1million+ subscribers is beyond me, and that car... omg!
Brilliant result not even surprised, Dans turbos are super impressive.
Super sick build, man! The mk7 R has been one of my favorite cars since they came out. I bet 500 hp feels amazing!
Don't get to hung up on BHP figures. Its drivability that is key. You will now want 600 bhp once you get use to it. Good luck and enjoy your car.

Picked up my 2019 R last Friday. Need to get mine up to that power. They are awesome cars im in love already lol. Great vid as always.
And the hits just keep on coming! Sweet upgrade and congrats!
congratulations, have been following your progress as im picking up an R myself. looking forward to seeing your next clip

APR Stage 3 vs Littco! WHP/WTQ and 1/4 run???
Can you talk through how much this all cost you? if you dont mind saying. A lot of golf owners may be interested...

International buyer here too. Emailed about 3 weeks back no response
The LT500 hybrid turbo is £1850....
Wouldnt see much change out of 6-7k front what I have seen on net
Super clean build and congrats on 500.

Great video mate well excited for u ! Smashed it keep it gassed
Beast ! That's mega power , serious machine now , I bet your very happy now .. great vid 😉
clicked on this ASAP
and i thought i was fast..
Bruv im happy for you, car looks sick too. keep on the grind bruv!!!
Can't beat a tuned golf R 💪
I cant believe how much power these engines can take im rethinking a GTR now!!! Keep up the great work JAMIE.

Gassed 4 ya!! Sick vid, car sounding animal. Luv it
Jamie boy yet again on point with the content 👌, u have just woken up the beast and its scary 😂 u have done urself proud boy!!
Was good too meet you down there man, sick to see it making 500+!!!!
Here’s what I’ve been waiting for 🔥
These engines are strong! Liked the previous video on turbo build too. Great stuff.
That's awesome!!! Well done buddy!
Congrats... the R is never a show on the dyno. The number is great
Congratulations bro! Some mad figures there! Autobahn soon yeah. Keep up the content, I see you 👊🏼
respect.. respect dammm 503 Bro.. ufffff amazing
Congrats on the rocketship! Keep up the amazing content 🤙
Solid video mate, really useful. Just blown my CJX S3 so looking at upgrade options... that power looks insane!!
Such a great move going with Littco Turbo. :) So happy for you bruvvv
gotta ask--- I'm sure yours is comp but REALISTICALLY what's the cost?? turbo +tune?? does the tune come with multiple files or paying for each one?? same with the dyno... charge for each run?? day charge?? part of the tune??
As a Golf R owner I like these videos!
great video!!! Killin it boy
Got the quote from the man Dan, looks like this is gonna happen, L450 time....
Ben is a g mapper man, he did my car as well. This guy knows his stuff man!
What other supporting mods would you need for this turbo? Cooling? Clurch packs? And how much would it cost for parts?
Why didn't you remove the turbo muffler?
Yeah, was wondering the same thing. Seems weird?
This vid made me smile. Keep it up!
Congratulations Jamie can't wait to see the next video car sounds awesome 👍🏽
Weapon X Golf R.... congrats.. cant wait to get mine done..
Was that wheel HP or crank. Impressive this is why im keen to get a mk7 R
Absolutely mega! Can’t wait to see the next vid!!! 🚀🚀🚀
Literally clicked on your channel for one video bro, and now im watching your whole channel lol
That Ben parsons 😁 no him from mates 😊 good guy ..... Devil developments are great
That’s sick bro happy for you 🙏
Can you do a 0 to 100mph time. I find this is best area to measure what your car can do.
matthew follows +1 for the 0-100mph times
Maybe from a daily driving POV because most don't exceed 100MPH. But 60-120 will be the best objective performance measure.
Class man (Y). Can't wait to see how it drives.
How much did the set up cost with your golf r? I'm thinking to do the same thing with mine
Congrats my man !!
Do u no u can get your rear lights coded so the boot lid lights stay on and illuminate on breaking
There great til your gearbox blows like mine did good luck getting that fixed
Brilliant video 🔥🔥🔥🔥educating while entertaining 🙌🏾
Same hpfp as i have in my ed30.
Sick vid m8!
Any lag with these turbo upgrades? That’s one thing I’m trying to avoid with my s3 build.
Yes yes my mans in the 500 clubbb
Amazing ! What a sleeper !
Madness
Can’t wait for next vid
Where did you get the Littco badge for the rear? I have the L450 and Dan sent me white gel badges. I'd prefer to have one like yours
What's the difference between a Golf R's and a regular GTI's engine?
Corsa vxr has the same size wheels as this insane golf r wheels, one day ill own a golf r

Want to see you thoughts on the car... spool up time v's the previous turbo..
Will talk through it all on the next vid 👍🏽
Get some stiffer engine mounts too.
isn't brake horsepower measured that the flywheel? so you are like 420ish wheel horsepower?
Nah, dynos measure whp, so it's 503 to the wheels so it's like 550+ to the fly
@Steve Frain yeah i just checked, my mistake, you correct
That is proper naughty them golfs make some power on standard internals 💥👍
Congratulation my brother
Sick video lad what a beast you need to link up with Calvin the car dairy
So how do they get the screamer pipe not to spit flames when on the dyno as the bonnet is up and on your video of the focus the screamer pipe was spitting big flames?
If power is accurate should trap around 128-129 in a 1/4 mile or was dyno converted to crank as you stated break hp?
Yes Its BHP at the crack figures shown
At what point do you have to worry about the haldex failing?
Do the price of the turbos increase if you have an is20 or even an is12 to exchange instead? Just wondering
I’m unsure mate.. contact Dan from the little turbo company.. all links in the description 👍🏽
Well done great result
I’m new to your channel. What kind of camera do you use ?
Listening to that thang, one word, DOPE!!!!!!! (NY slang)
Wow mate that sounds epic ! Very nice and 👍
Is this on stock internals? how much can these motors handle safely on stock internals?
sick! just got my 7.5, still breaking in, but 500 must be mental!
Atomic Whats break in period up too? 500miles?
xJohn1300 car’s manual calls for 1000 miles or 1600 km
How are the dsg clutches holding up? Any slip, shudder? How many miles on the car? I'm asking because I would like to do the same mods.
No issues bro.. 45k miles, the gear box is also mapped tho
Perfect! Thanks for the info man! Enjoy your sweet ride!!
Bad boy Golf R my g
What is the full mods list of this please I’m looking to do the exact same thing to my s3 8v
About time to race Calvin 🤙
Quality video man one of my favourites because you seen the turbo build aswell.
What did they say about maintenance ect and how long the engine will last
I don't know how you don't have more subs, absolute content. You should collab with Ricky over at LLF!
I dont understand it was apr st2 when stock and after they put a turbo its littco stage or apr ecu map?
Stage 3 Littco custom mapped
Hahaha super gassed! Can’t wait to see the first drive! Now go eat some RS3’s 😉
Are you running on forged internals?
RILED! Amazing.
Definitely going to give littco a call soon 💪
