I just bought my first 16’ Jetta 1.8t S and I love it I can’t wait to do mods like this
Took about 6 hours with a break for food. Smooth easy install with no fitment issues.
awesome! a little involved but not too bad I take it
I would have left the stock intercooler in place. Less work. And easier to go back to stock. But thumbs up for doing it the right way. I think you can get that grill on there with a bit of finesse. Looks dope keep it up
Fellow gli subscriber, I like what you are doing with your gli, keep up the content
Thanks for the support! Not a gli tho 😅 1.8T rather
Nice video sir. Love VWs! I have two Passats! The only reason I'd get the smaller jetta is because of the manual transmission, a manual transmission is much more sporty than the DSG automatic!
That's a fact and a way better power band too 💙 I got a 2017 volkswagen jetta 1.4T 5 speed Manual Transmission its a very great car I love that car so much I wanna get the intercooler on it just like this video
I have a black 2017 Jetta TSI 1.4 5speed and it's a lot of fun for sure. I only got to 2nd and 3rd gear before telling the salesman at the dealership "I'll take it.
There are plenty of videos of this DIY.
Unless you dont have a garage, that is. I bought a 2011 GTI with 120k and bad motor and crashed 2012 GTI with 46k miles from Copart, swapping in Engine+DSG, obviously adding Unitronic intercooler, same CTS pipes, turbo muffler delete, full aluminum radiator and new AC condencer. Audi R8 coils , Graf full aluminum water pump, timing kit.
It is a lot of fun to work on your own car
The thing is their is no intercooler upgrade for the 1.4 jetta
Ye I was wondering if this would work for the 1.4 model.
I called arm motorsports and they say it’ll ok on the 1.4t So I bought it
@@vwccraftsmanship did it fit?
@@vwccraftsmanship Do you have a 2017 volkswagen jetta SE, 1.4t?
And if so can you send me the link of where you got it from
There shouldn’t be. It’s a 1.4… LMAO
Got the same one. No regrets at all
I want to do this swap to my 1.8t mk6 Jetta will this intercooler have the right fitment ?
Will that fit my mk6 Jetta 1.8 TSI? And does weather effect it since it’s exposed ?
WOW, that intercooler looks sick. I wish I could get one. That's ok, I'll get one for my R . Keep it up
As always, thanks for all the support!
Can this go on my 2016 1.8l jetta
@@kobegray6871 most likely . 1.8t can have an upgraded intercooler
@@MK6CHRIS bet I wanna order this one soon
Did you upgrade the map sensor on the intake Manifold ?
arseny is it the same with the VW passat se?
hello, I like all the changes you are making to your nice car, I have a 2013 jetta GLI 2.0 turbo and you are giving me very good ideas, from today I am following you and I will be seeing all your ideas and videos, thanks
hey i was wondering what size turbo u have and if there are any good part websites for 1.4 tsi jettas all the ones i find are very expensive
In Canada i save nothing buying the most affordable FMIC, which is this one. Costs in the end same as Neuspeed which is nearly identical.
the question is how much condensation water will this upgrade produce in cold weather.
As it could actually hydrolock your engine if water ingested into cylinders.
Even the stock ones need draining in cold weather driving from time to time
Stones gonna bang it up without the grill.
Hey man you should look into the cts turbo, apr, unitronic, or ie inlet elbow for your next vid! Would love to see it
Will do!
Price to do this
To be honest man you have to do something with the removed grill that doesn't look good
U have a amazing car don't do it like that
Tho you can add aluminium grill that gonna look so cool and even not gonna touch that peace it's kinda metal sheet
Love your videos
Thanks for the comment, I love the way it looks right now a lot, different strokes for different folks! Everybody’s different
I think it looks sick exposed honestly but I also get your point too
He could paint it black which was proved by MCM to actually be more effective
@@maxscarblog yeah man he must do something about that
@@sth801lifestyle I'm pretty sure at the end of the day he gonna do something about that😂😂😂
hey man you went with my recommendation!!! looks sick I haven't had the time to install mine but yours looks sick. i got the gold one ^^
also super pumped you did it first so I can watch your video when I instal mine hahahah
usp has a hydraulic hood prop, i got one, worth the 100$
let me know how long the install took when you get a chance!
It’s awesome! The best intercooler on the market for sure
Well, it looks like the OEM intercooler is less prone to heat soak than the "upgrade" one. The surface exposed to cool air is a lot bigger on the OEM intercooler.
Size doesn’t matter. It’s all about placement
At least you have a buddy with a shop that is willing to help you if I was to pay for that a mechanic would probably quite at least 8 hours of labor
Exactly!
Been thinking about doing that to my 2015 jetta tdi
I’m not sure where ARM gets their data, but that Intercooler struggles to support over 400hp, let alone 550. Ask me how I know... I had to upgrade to a Treadstone TR8L for that kinda of supported HP. Either way, good video.
Interesting perspective. Sick ride, clean build!
@@arsenyrazhkov4559 I’m not knocking your build it just a far fetched claim by ARM. If you compare their FMIC to another 500hp FMIC, you’ll see it’s much smaller.
525hp ARM 23.5x6.5x3=458.25in while a 500hp Treadstone TR8 is 22x7.8x3.5=600.6in The Arm is sized like a 400hp (360whp) FMIC, which is what I was making before replacing it.
But, nice build. Any plans on adding a bigger turbo? I know a guy, bolt on for your car.
@@PrzFinest21x I’m just aiming for 370-400WHP this summer so I this intercooler will do the job for now. BUT I will definitely look into the treadstone TR8L when I need more power. Thanks for the suggestion! Plans for the car, this summer I want to install the CTS boss big turbo kit. Sadly, there is no stage 3 software to accommodate this upgrade unless you have a GLI. I’ll need a custom from scratch dyno tune. Looking forward to it though!
@@arsenyrazhkov4559 that’s not sad at all, I know some companies you can contact for the very best advice in the GLI/Jetta tuning world. If you ever need some guidance, hit up GappinCheeks on Facebook. They know about all the fueling or tuning youd needs. Reflect tuning is hands down the best dyno/custom tuner for us and they have a lot of options! MK7 HPFP, 4bar map, pops and bangs... everything. The 1.8t is basically a smaller GLI motor. You can do everything I can. The uni stage 3 tune is not worth it.
@@PrzFinest21x hey man how much money have you put in your gli love the car
man i swear watching your videos makes me wanna mod my Jetta but idk :/ since is not a Turbo one, just a 2.0 2018 :;( great vid, car looking nice!
Thanks! And you can always do handling/aesthetic stuff even if you aren’t turbo’d
@@arsenyrazhkov4559 yeah thanks i just found out on ECS page that i can do some performance mods for a non turbo, maybe not that great in HP gains but driveability :D
is it possible to do the same on a 1.4t mk6
In the shop now trying to get one installed on mine
@@vwccraftsmanshipDid you get it installed?
@@Crautosports no the guys in the shop didn’t wanna cut anything in order to install it as the front bumper would need to be cut to fit the FMIC
I swear I thought my battery died at 8:45 😂
Great video! Love the content
Thanks man appreciate it!
@@arsenyrazhkov4559 no problem. Joined when you were mostly posting about the Mazda’s which I honestly miss tbh but the Jetta has been very interesting to watch and much cooler then I thought at first.
Can you please link me what I need to buy exactly no one seems to know. Thank you man ! 2011 Jetta tdi same car. Also did you you get power upgrades with it?. Does the turbo spool louder ?
Cool video my question did you feel better your car after new intercooler
What’d you do about the park assist sensors when you removed the bumper grill?
So I have a 14 1.8t Passat would this still be technically the same I can’t find shii for my car and looking for performance upgrades all that comes up is for the Jetta I would assume damn near the same engine but just asking before I make a dumb purchase
I just got a Jetta, I’ve been watching ur vids idk what i wanna do first any recommendations?
Is it a turbo jetta? Start with an intake, stage 1 tune and lower it
Hey what’s up I would like to know how much they charged you for putting on the intercooler I have mine but I wanted to know more or less how much I have to pay thanks
Can you tell us where you got your headlights?!?! 😮😮😮
??????????So did you ever find out how to code it (grill shutters)??? I have OBD eleven and Ive tried everything. If you ever figured it out please let me know?????????????
i want to do this to my 1.4 tsi. but i have to figure out what to do with the water to air intercooler... can i run both?
Looks good. I noticed a small pipe that came with your kit, what does it connect to?
Absolutely nothing, never ended up using that piece
Love your car man! Which front bumper and grille is that one that you have? I have a 2012 GLI and I want to get the MK6 R-style bumper or yours!
It’s a stock bumper with the bottom grill removed!
Would be nice to see a detailed explanation video of all your mods , pricing, changes they made, how you like each one and how they’ve held up so far etc
I Have videos like that
@@arsenyrazhkov4559 I know you have individual mod videos and you explain them but I meant an up to date, all mods explained in one video. Like a progress video ya feel
@@plshelp2906 I have the aliexpress video, it’s an update on all the cosmetic mods. But I can do an update on all the performance mods, good idea
Now that is sick!
What’s the song at 8:45??
BTW, your car is looking better every time you post. Very inspirational, haha. :)
I think it’s “lonely” by ikson. And thanks man, glad I could inspire :)
You need to explain why your socks don't match🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Laziness 😂
Hey arsney will this fit my 2018 vw Jetta se sport? It’s a 1.8t
Great video but why did you upbadge your jetta?
I wonder if this kit will fit my 09 cc
I just love your car
❤️🤘🏼
Hey what did you end up doing for the active shutters. I've heard that people get CEL lights from them and wanted to know what you did since it didn't show in the video. Thanks!
Yes you get a CEL, it will have to be coded out with OBD eleven, which I am still yet to do. Doing some research with a subscriber on how to do it
@@arsenyrazhkov4559 If you know someone with VCDS they can tune out the check engine light for the car.
Got a link for the CTS charge pipe and outlet pipe?
Did your car have a radiator shutter assembly?
Yes. They have to be removed. Check engine light was on. No way around it
Anybody have any idea of a good intercooler for my 1.4t 2019 jetta I tuned it to a 1+ but ever since then it’s been throwing air codes
Hence the reason why I need the intercooler but I can’t find one anywhere online
I’ll sell you my stock 1.8T intercooler which is much larger than the 1.4T intercooler. DM me on Instagram
What good would an intercooler do in an already cold environment
Freeze
does the kit work with a 2015 jetta tdi ??????????
0:18
Ohhh, same fo me🤬
i was think of doing that to my gli but i dont like that you have to cut the bumper. ಠ_ಠ
Does that intercooler even have a larger volume than the stock IC?
FMIC core size of 23.5" x 6.5" x 3" is the perfect balance for maximizing cooling efficiency while minimizing pressure drop. There are larger units available, but like I said, they will still heat soak in the oem position. Because the ARM Core is located in front of the car, it can cool the charged air more effectively than larger intercoolers in the OEM location. Still supports 550HP
@@arsenyrazhkov4559 good luck. Are you going to put some kind of grille to keep rocks from damaging it? You should've done an intake temp comparison before/ after.
@@maxscarblog not worried about rocks, I always avoid driving behind large trucks and construction zones, I have a daily driver for that which I care less about.
You can definitely feel the difference fully sending it after multiple pulls, doesn’t heat soak or lose efficiency at all. Maybe I would do a temp check down the road
i know this is an old video but on their website it says it only fits 2.0t ? is it bolt on to a 1.8 ?
It still fits the 1.8 with upgraded charge pipes and grill shutters delete on facelift
So you have a 1.8 and it still fits even though website lists 2.0?
Exactly
What kind of wheel are those and what specs ?
The hell?? The instructions state to cut off the grille shutter mounts off? Thats stupid
is that trunk spoiler OEM? if not, where did you get it from?
It’s aftermarket oem style
Can this go on my 2016 1.8l
Where did you get your front license plate plugs?
They were actually part of the stock license plate bracket, which I just used those creatively to cover the holes!
Does this fit the 1.4?
aye man where abouts in BC are you? im in Hope!
Surrey!
Can this be installed on a regular jetta 2.0 Base?
No
Could this fit 1.4 2017 tsi
No
so what does this do basically
Did it throw any codes and was it easy to install because I have the exact same car and am considering doing the same thing to mine?
Only 1 code was thrown, being for the grill shutters. It can be coded out with OBD eleven. Doesn’t affect performance whatsoever though
@@arsenyrazhkov4559 thanks. And also if I want to just keep the factory intercooler in do I just have to remove the factory outlet pipe and throttle pipe and then put in the aftermarket pipes and outlet pipes, etc?
@@davidf6571 you don’t have to remove anything, the stock or the new outlet and charge pipes will route straight to the new intercooler. I’d recommend deleting the stock intercooler though, for weight reduction and Better airflow to your radiator and engine oil
@@arsenyrazhkov4559 alright thanks for the help appreciate it
Bro please upload some cool car accesories for jetta
I’ll definitely keep that in mind
Link for the charge/discharge pipes ?
go to cts turbo or arm motorspots, they both have the charge pipes
how come ur intercooler is small compared to CTS or Unitronic
Generally speaking, the larger an intercooler, the better it is at cooling the air. But if an intercooler is too large, you can get turbo lag and pressure drop. Since the ARM intercooler is located right in the front, directly in the line of airflow, it can cool the charged air more effectively and efficiently than larger intercoolers in the OEM location, which will eventually heat soak anyways. This is why the ARM intercooler is the best in the market. It’s a genuine front mount, unlike other kits.
I was thinking it might be better in black ... or I was thinking maybe doing some custom vent in a 45° angle in front to were the intercooler can't be seen
I never like and subscribe when people ask. I wonder if youtube thinks about this?
You think it'll fit '16 passat rline?
Haha not sure man, give it a try! If it’s a 1.8T, maybe it will
I have a 2014 Passat B7 base, installed it today. Modified the passenger mounting bracket and had to cut the radiator core support square inserts about .5 inch down. Also had to do some trimming inside the bumper. Thank you so much for uploading this video, it nudged me to go ahead and buy the intercooler! The extra pipe in kit came in handy since I have not upgraded the throttle pipe.
@@Gustav-uj3vw love to hear it man! DM me a picture of the intercooler installed on your Passat!
Do you have ARM downpipe?
Have a CTs one installed
it looks wierd without grill haha not gonna lie
Looks even weirder with the grill. Heck, it won’t even fit with the grill 🤷🏼♂️
Так почему у тебя имя и фамилия Русская ?
Hey, not to nag on your purchase decision but this intercooler is complete trash. I as well went the same route and needless to say it's complete garbage. The inlet and outlet pipes from the core aren't circle, they're oval. Air will always leak from there and your car will sound like harmonica under boost. I used to t-bolt clam and hose clamp it certain way just to keep the air in. Performance is very negligible and for the money you can easily get another core, pipe, even custom mounts. I even have logs from my BT gti with gtx3071r on meth comparing this to my 600 core custom intercooler.
Would this intercooler work on a mk6 jetta tdi?
Probably not
