I’ve had my GTI for a year now too but still stock hopefully I’ll reach your level. Also would be cool if you made and exhaust video on the sound of the tune and exhaust system
Check out ProClips USA for a good phone mount if you’re looking for another interior mod. They install really clean looking. BTW when are you going IS38 and stage 3?
i just swapped my CTS diverter valve with the go fast bits DVX. it's not as loud when driving normally compared to the CTS, however if you push it, it can be louder than CTS. also is very predictable. Slight improvement on response
I bought the DKM stage 2 clutch. (I have a 2016 GTI Autobahn Stage 2 Unitronic) First off ill say its a good clutch doesn't slip under load like the factory clutch. I only have a few bad things to say. First, wait time is terrible, took me two or three months to get mine. They only make so many a month and they are usually already preordered. However, like you said maybe they could hook you up and get you one sooner. Second, the throw out bearing is really really loud at idol with the clutch let out, maybe look for a better after market one, i would if i knew how loud it was. Finally, when you get your clutch first installed the clutch pedal feels so stiff you think you did something wrong because you can barley press it in, its not. After about 100 miles it will loosen up and be semi-usable, hills will still be a tad harder than before. I now have 3000 miles on my DKM clutch kit and it feels almost like stock with the exception of it not slipping lol. Just my 2 cents! keep up the good work on the videos!!!
Thanks for the small review. I'm sure JR will read this. I know that they did not expect to be so popular and demand is super high. This is what I've gathered from sources. Most aftermarket clutches are much stiffer and louder than stock, mine is too but it holds the power which I love. Thanks for the love!
jsmk7 lol. True. I only have it because I have a medical exemption. My previous car I was fishbowling. By the way, how are the EBC red stuff cuz these stock pads shed brake dust waaaaay to much after 2 days of washing. .
It’s amazing how far your car has gone throughout the year and I appreciate the support and help brotha man!!!!
No sweat my brother from another mother
Good Luck with the clutch repair!

Coming up soon. Doing another dedicated exhaust video
Where did u get the led license plate bulbs? One of mine is spazzing our but it didn’t look like u can remove any bulb on the 2017 ?
I have the led ones on my car. Was probably my first mod
You gotta remove the whole assembly
jsmk7 where do u pickup the led ones at please?
I think I bought them off ebay
Watch my first video on the MK7
Have you dynoed it yet? If so what are you pulling?
Haven’t dyno with uni yet. Last dyno was with JB4. Video is here somewhere. Ran 321hp
jsmk7 how’s the unitronic vs the JB4? Did you find out if it was the JB4 causing the drop off at 5500? Tryna decide between JB4 or APR

Eventually stage 2+ yes

Thanks for the review. Looking forward to putting it back
is it worth it spending 300$ extra and get APR IC or just stick with FMIC ?
Direct replacements are always better. I will eventually move to the Unitronic one. The CTS fmic is better than stock still, about 40% more
Hey jsmk7 I love your gti is really nice I want to get some mods for my mk7 and you seem to know your sh....t thanks for the videos
No sweat bro. Thanks for the love
You have the gfb dv+ mine isn’t that loud, do you think it’s because I don’t have a aftermarket intake??
No I said I will be installing it again. My GFB wasn't loud either but it is louder with intake
any issues with scrubbing at the rear with the wheel and suspension setup?
No problems actually the front rubbed a bit but then I did the fender screw mod and all was good
