    I know this is WAY too late to say, but that car has a torn Diverter Valve, you can hear it in the first few seconds of the video.
    The turbo is not meant to have a high pitch on high boost, that is boost escaping from the diverter valve as I bet it has a stock diverter valve, it does not have a blow off valve you can tell when you let off the throttle.
    The car could actually have higher boost if this part was replaced, and therefore more power. 0-100 in 3.9 is kind of slow for a Stage 2, you would expect 3.4ish
    Torn diverter valves are very common, that is why people get a more durable replacement.

      it’s just sound resonance from the intake. mine sounds the same as well as many other videos. it has a boost gauge in the infotainment and mine makes what it should for the tune i have ~26psi

    I noticed that the blanket underneath the hood was sagging on the bottom left, which sits directly over the turbo. My 2019 Golf R had the same problem and the dealer replaced it under warranty for me. I suggest that the owner try to get them to do the same for them as it's a known issue on the MQB platform. They may not accommodate since the car has been manipulated but it's a legit complaint that should be covered.
    Cheers!

      I’m an old V8 guy too and agree about the crackle & pop tunes but you don’t have to have those tuned into it, you can have it tuned with no crackle n pop and just as quick. I threw caution to the wind and snagged one of these Finsl Edition new, I haven’t modded it (yet) but it’s quick and better still in wet or damp conditions it still pulls the same.
      Just playing around, I’ve gapped and XR6 turbo off the lights (it was highly modded) & I also put a few lengths on a modded Supra, admittedly in damp conditions. Best thing about them is they don’t stand out at all, nobody gives it a second glance.
      As a daily driver it would have to be one of the best around, comfortable (for a small car) & the finish is much nicer than much on the road. It’s just a golf but it shreds 😂

      You can buy a Mk6 Golf R with a manual. They’re slow (manuals) and consume more fuel on most settings -and requires an expensive clutch replacement once you go above a basic tune. Very difficult to launch cleanly too. Overall, most people stopped buying them. VW stopped selling them.
