I absolutely love that you decided to give the 07k love and put it in youtube. I’ve been contemplating about doing the same with upgrades/improvements. Your project is so cool! Keep it up!
Thank you for not putting a badgeless grill on. I used to have a mk2 VR6 before this engine was even available, so it's dope to see a mk2 swapped with one. Sounds great!
Love this and have been thinking about getting another Mk2…I had four of them back in the day and loved them! Subscribed and looking forward to more of your videos! Thanks for posting!!!
I agree with you about the 07k. While I love wookie noises all day there something to say about the unique sound of a 5 cylinder. I have awe exhaust and IE goodies too for my 07k
Well, it’s easily converted back to AWD by just putting the front axles back in haha. I thought about the a5 but unfortunately they’re a little outside of the budget :/ would be sick though
I currently have a 1.8 16v GTi with a high lift cam which is fun and all but this video is REALLY giving me the itch for a 5 cylinder.. life without K Jet sure would be nice 🤣
glad this popped up on my feed i thought it was a vr6 swap at first which are cool but not as cool as an 07k will definetly watch this and any other builds you got going on
This video came up on my suggested ... big fan of the 07k ! Was debating swapping one into my mk1 cabby but thinking i'll be throwing in the built BEV from my mk4 when I convert it to a ALH. You got a new sub !
this is sick dude, I have a mk6 that came with the 07k but I'm saving up for a IE mani and tune I'm exited to hear and feel the power. ECS also has a lightweight pulley for the crank that has a noticeable performance increase, super easy install I would recommend if you don't have one.
You will need a mk5 alternator/belt drive bracket, mk5 alternator, and an mk5 electric powersteering rack and harness for the intake manifold to work on a mk6. I went through all this a year ago when I 6 speed swapped my daily mk6 Jetta.
Did you use the Fabless kit? I have an 89 diesel Jetta sitting around and I also have 09 Jetta 2.5 with barely over 125k. Always dream of swapping it into the old baby and then figuring out how to full R swap my less old baby haha. Rich guy dreams. Great channel dude! Instant sub
I did not. I used a eurowise kit but unfortunately they are NLA :/ I don’t know much about the fabless kit but I have some fabless parts on the car and they’re very nice… thank you!
Stock mk6 ecu, watch my how to swap vid to see what part # you need, I can’t remember off the top of my head. Get a tune with an immobilizer delete from Revmapperformance and you’re good to go
I have an 86 GTI with 46k on the 8v and I have been fighting with the Bosch KJet for years. Do you think this is something a mediocre mechanic can do with a swap kit?
That’s because in the stock application, where the ps pump sits on the accessory bracket, there isn’t enough clearance for the manifold. I have no power steering on this car as my mk2 was manual rack. Where is your Ps pump located?
Guys why did nobody tell me I screwed up the edit 😭 it’s like 10 seconds of silence lol
Not a big deal.
Still a really nice take on this sweet ride.
Love the 07k.
Great and reliable motor!
It added suspense and made me laugh.
@@burningtoken😂😂
07k is a great swap candidate tbh. So many available, newer, great power and efficiency for the MK2 as well.
The 07K Is such an overlooked engine, so happy to see it's finally getting the love it deserves.
Absolutely! I have fallen in love with them. Can’t wait to build one
Love the sound of the Vw 5 cylinder. I’m excited to see what lies ahead for this Channel.
I absolutely love that you decided to give the 07k love and put it in youtube. I’ve been contemplating about doing the same with upgrades/improvements. Your project is so cool! Keep it up!
Thank you! Yeah the engine is awesome and unique, figured people might wanna see ot
It’s the new vr6 lol
Thank you for not putting a badgeless grill on. I used to have a mk2 VR6 before this engine was even available, so it's dope to see a mk2 swapped with one. Sounds great!
Thank you! Yeah I strongly dislike badgeless grilles on anything so that was a no from me😂
Sounds so good! Almost like a vr5
Love this and have been thinking about getting another Mk2…I had four of them back in the day and loved them! Subscribed and looking forward to more of your videos! Thanks for posting!!!
Those induction noises are amazing 👌🏽
Agreed😎😂
07k great choice, the engine bay looks great.
Thank you!🫶🏻
Like the induction noise. Like the channel concept. 👍
Thank you! Yeah the induction noise is awesome
Love the mk2's... Lovely you put a 5 cylinder in it, great sounding engines. Keep up the good work. :)
Thanks man! It’s almost the perfect combo 😂
@@brett.mk2 Yes it definetly is... how is the fuel economy with nice driving? :)
I agree with you about the 07k. While I love wookie noises all day there something to say about the unique sound of a 5 cylinder. I have awe exhaust and IE goodies too for my 07k
My best new channel ❤planning a similar build
Just came across your channel definitely wanna see more of this car evolving i think 5 cylinders overall are overlooked
Thanks man! Broke an axle so she’s down right now but we’ll be back. Definitely want to take it to some track days!
Even though I love the VR6 this engine sounds pretty sick! just like you said a bit more raw. Love the build man keep it going.
This is awesome man, you’d be my favorite teacher as a kid for sure
Haha thank you! Yeah, I think they like me or at least I hope
Love it! I vote B5 and keeping the Quattro for some 4 wheel drifts, or or or what about an A5 and go full on quattro coupé
Well, it’s easily converted back to AWD by just putting the front axles back in haha. I thought about the a5 but unfortunately they’re a little outside of the budget :/ would be sick though
Bret put it in a b5, they make a rad support that allows clearance for v8 swaps, would be an interesting exhaust note with the inline 5
Just found this channel ... Will be checking out older vids...I'm from South Africa
Awe brother man✊
Sweet love this swap.Love this build, love the channel.Love the content.Keep it coming
Thank you🫶🏻
I don’t know much about vw’s, but this is a sick car
I currently have a 1.8 16v GTi with a high lift cam which is fun and all but this video is REALLY giving me the itch for a 5 cylinder.. life without K Jet sure would be nice 🤣
amazing mk2 5cyl... MK2 golf is my dream car, i have a mk4 vr6 12v and mk5 jetta 2.0t . Best of luck!!
Awesome car. I subscribed. Looking forward to more content
Thank you! She’s broken right now, blew an axle but it’ll be back sooner than later
This is a sick build 07k is a great engine. I hear you can put Gallardo headers on it too which would be interesting
glad this popped up on my feed i thought it was a vr6 swap at first which are cool but not as cool as an 07k will definetly watch this and any other builds you got going on
this is a rad lil build that reminds me of europe bc you’re just being you and did something different and budget friendly 💪🏽💪🏽 got a sub bro
Haha thank you! As a budget friendly as a swap can be😂
This video came up on my suggested ... big fan of the 07k ! Was debating swapping one into my mk1 cabby but thinking i'll be throwing in the built BEV from my mk4 when I convert it to a ALH. You got a new sub !
I love the 07k 😂 honestly, any engine in a mk1 is a good upgrade haha
2:47 alignment on LOCKDOWN. Video is mint bro keep it going :)
Man, everyone doing these o7ks makes me want to finishing building mine. Maybe I need to stop shooting for big numbers and enjoy it
Awesome car and a great video! Thanks for teaching the kids how to read.
Of course haha, I love my job! And thank you🫶🏻
I also love the 5cylinder a little more than the vr6. I hope to build a vr5 citi golf. Call it a mk1 .:R line of sorts.lol. Great content bro.
That would be awesome haha, thank you!
Come to loe show next weekend since your in pa

Yeah that was gonna be an upgrade down the road! The 07k is a fantastic platform
@@squirrelsticks damn fr? ECS just says electric PS is the only requirement.
@@Shabadabadu yes, that is everything required for an eps swap on an mk6 with a hydraulic powersteering pump.
I'm ready to see some turbski action.
Eventually, we’ll get there 😂
Oh this guy really cool
I try sometimes
Another great video as always!
Thank you🫶🏻
Problem is you can’t hardly find a decent and reasonably priced mk2 golf shell anywhere anymore or Id be doing already…does sound great btw
Love it 😍
Hellll yeah bro how did you retune for the new manifold?
Nice video, good luck on the next project!
Thank you! Hopefully we can get there sooner rather than later
I’ve been debating dropping an 07k into mine or just tuning the hell outta my 1.6TD
I really wish we could get these engines in the UK. We only got the turbocharged RS3/TTRS type and they’re about 4 grand.
Yeah it’s odd that only North America got these and DAZAs aren’t cheap like you said
I have myself a 86 mk2 with 1.8t awp big turbo tuned for 325hp right now at 18 psi
I bet that things sketchy😂
Did you use the Fabless kit? I have an 89 diesel Jetta sitting around and I also have 09 Jetta 2.5 with barely over 125k. Always dream of swapping it into the old baby and then figuring out how to full R swap my less old baby haha. Rich guy dreams. Great channel dude! Instant sub
I did not. I used a eurowise kit but unfortunately they are NLA :/ I don’t know much about the fabless kit but I have some fabless parts on the car and they’re very nice… thank you!
07K 👌🍀
The 2.5 does sound better than the VR. Both sound great but.
Talk to me about the ECU and how you got it to work?
Stock mk6 ecu, watch my how to swap vid to see what part # you need, I can’t remember off the top of my head. Get a tune with an immobilizer delete from Revmapperformance and you’re good to go
She's a beaut!
I also love the sound!'
It’s awesome haha
I have an 86 GTI with 46k on the 8v and I have been fighting with the Bosch KJet for years. Do you think this is something a mediocre mechanic can do with a swap kit?
1000%. Before this, the most mechanically involved I was in cars was changing brakes and installing coilovers
@@brett.mk2 what kit did you use?
Somebody hit up Jimmy Oakes tell B Hall he needs to see this.... VW.
Lmaao
I miss my a2 jetta gli , trophy 🏆 interior, 1.8 16v 😢
I have a 91 jetta with an 07k but the ie intake manifold says not for hydronic power steering cars. Do you have power steering ?
That’s because in the stock application, where the ps pump sits on the accessory bracket, there isn’t enough clearance for the manifold. I have no power steering on this car as my mk2 was manual rack. Where is your Ps pump located?
2.5 is the best vw engine
Bam 225 all day long!
07K is the new VR6
I think that’s a fair statement
car is sweet sleeper
What part of PA are you located
Love the vids
Thank you!
in the uk we never got this engine
I know it’s shame
Better add some brake fluid before you lose your brakes.
Yeah I was bleeding them and just forgot to top it off after I was done
IE tuned?
No, RevMapPerfomance custom Tune. Highly recommend
There’s no way you’re interested in growing your channel by stating the 2.5 sounds better then a vr
But it does! That’s my opinion of course I still think vr6s sound good
U got your air in take in the wrong position 😏 wtf
Yes, I could definitely be routed a tad better 😂
