Clean build! I love the Fat Fives on there. It's so cool to see what other people do to their MK6's. I also have the RCD330 headunit, which made a WORLD of difference in quality of life while daily driving. I love having CarPlay.
I suggest you include links and/or descriptions of all your mods so we can check them out (potential profit). Really interested with your OEM touch screen, I have a 2011 and although it came with touchscreen, it's crappy. Must be nice to have Android Auto.

And it is not wireless that is only in select newer vehicles I believe. It’s not an OEM part it’s just made to look OEM. The mods list is very long and I don’t have links to everything nor would it benefit me to link to everything. I mentioned pretty much everything by name so it should all be a quick Google search away :)
Nice mods. I currently drive a 2012 golf base model with the 2.5 , 5 cylinder engine. It’s rated at 170 hp. Living in Florida I use I 95 quit often, and I gotta say it can move, without any modifications. But then I am over 75, but still like to go fast. If you do more mods make another video, it’s been fun to watch. The old car guy ! 😎
I went with the Southbend Stage 2 Daily, it was just shy of $2000 for parts and labor. I had the clutch line and the shifter bushings replaced at the same time as part of the same total cost.
@@samboswell28 heh, it is. Even thought we have to pay 300 euros tax worth for it, it definetly is worth it because of the torque! Im waiting to see more videos from your golf too! You should make a 0 - 100 speed test with it on a track!
Don’t really have access to a track, and it just spins tire all through 2nd with the bigger turbo so 0-anything aren’t much fun. I’m posting a video with some pulls in it soon tho!
How much hp/tq are you making with the sneeky protune + fbo? I’m planning on getting a sneekyprotune when I’m fbo but I was just wondering what kinda power numbers to expect with it, beautiful MK6 btw 🙌
No issues at all, I wish it had a little bit of a better looking fitment is all. Would be nice to see more of it behind the grill. Temps are great, I don’t have any issues with it
I tucked it into the headliner along the top of the windshield. From there I took off the drivers side A pillar cover, and wired it down through there and tapped into the fuse box on the left side of the dashboard.

White on white is the best color combo 🔥

It’s so awesome!! Absolute game changer.

I definitely plan on making more videos! Thank you for the comment!
It's amazing how long they stretched this engine, in the Netherlands we only got it in the Golf 4.
Brother, just did a headhunt install on my mk6. Bought a 8" screen with exact fit for 100 on amazon. Add car play cost 30 for adapter or more for bt
Good build man, keep making videos with your journey I’ve got a red one haha! Fun car
Thank you! I’ve got to work on getting more content out. It’s just so cold😭
@@samboswell28 oh yeah for sure I hate the cold😂 you got insta man?
@mk6_sam
Did you get a Ko4? Or an IE intake manifold, then you will FBO. I need to get that Manifold, I put the Ko4 on and it's a beast.
7:04 is so true, lol tints in dark stormy weather is no joke
Looks clean! Nice mod list!
Interesting seeing the underachievers on your music player
How much did stage 2 clutch cost + labor? Recently tuned my mk6 gti (revo st2) and its hella slipping 😔
I went with the Southbend Stage 2 Daily, it was just shy of $2000 for parts and labor. I had the clutch line and the shifter bushings replaced at the same time as part of the same total cost.
@@samboswell28not an absolute arm or leg for a car you really love !!! Hope o don’t have to any time soon
Sad that original GolfR tail light got no dynamic turns
man i like ur car
you should put the red 3m reflective tape on the diffuser, also those new mirrors or stock ones?
Those are eBay sequential turn signals for the mirrors. Super cheap and easy
clean build
Thank you!
I have MK6 my self, tdi 1.6 and just got it tuned and im so happy! The EGR Is a bitch on that one.
I bet the diesel is a ton of fun to drive!

I couldn't tell you what the exact numbers are. You might be able to find dyno sheets online for similar builds, but I'm not one to assume
How are you finding the ARM intercooler ? What are your temps like compared to stock ?
No issues at all, I wish it had a little bit of a better looking fitment is all. Would be nice to see more of it behind the grill. Temps are great, I don’t have any issues with it
Very nice
Where did you get the mirror turn signals? I can't find them online.
eBay
Wry good man form where you got the screen from please let me know thank you
Should start posting more vids of this build
I sold the old girl:(( big sad
Hey bro where did you get that touch screen for your GTI
Got it on eBay!
nice car, white antenna 121\s will look the part on your car.
Where did you get the diffuser and for how much?
I got it from a friend used, it’s maxton design
Yo. I know this video was posting so long ago but I just bought a gti and would love to talk about how I can make it my own
Talk to me mane. I got a Mk6 almost a year ago and it’s not even the same car now 😂
Any updates on this or the progress of the build lol
I hope to be uploading a video in the next week or two talkin about the progress!
Any update on the new surprise?
...I wonder what that new install could be… Definitely not a new big turbo
hmmmmmm
Damn u got money
Work hard play hard
How did you wire the radar?
I tucked it into the headliner along the top of the windshield. From there I took off the drivers side A pillar cover, and wired it down through there and tapped into the fuse box on the left side of the dashboard.
What radio is it?

Downpipe?
Cobb downpipe and catback
You can't fault a mk6 golf gti
Oil consumption.. I just bought one
College student on a budget and you bought a VW MK6 GTI!!! Why???
Because I wanted to. My budget was fitting for this project
Uuuuggh those wheels are nasty
I'm gonna assume you mean nasty in a good way:)
