I've owned VW's since 1986, and I love the look of yours. The purple accents on the Moonstone really work. The exhaust note is pretty sweet, but I imagine the pops would get to me after a while...but I'm an old man. =) My 2008 R32 had a vacuum switch to open and close a flap in the exhaust to open it up. Keep up with cool videos...love to see some tuning vids. Cheers.
The thing about VW's design language for as long as I can remember (starting around the mk4) is that it grows on you even if you weren't impressed initially. MK8 is a perfect example of this. Only thing I dislike about it is the price, where the autobahn GTI is sitting uncomfortably close to R territory.
Hey bro would love to hear your long term experience living with the new infotainment. I test drove one of these and honestly didnt think the controls were as bad as people make it out to be. Whats it been like for you? Beautiful car btw
I used to have the MK7.5 and loved it. I have had the MK8 for 10 months now. Absolutely hate the infotainment system! Great car but the internal controls suck!
@donjohnson2428 See I’m the complete opposite of this guy I don’t mind the Infotainment system at all I beat the living hell out of my mk8 GTI only complaint is the locked TCU😂
first video iv watched from ou and it was great apart from i think u need to raise your voice just a little as it was a little monotone but everything else was amazing 🖤🖤
I really appreciate the feedback brotha🤝🏼 I think I’m going to get a external mic eventually to not relay on the phone mic & camera coming soon ! Promise the quality will improve as I put out videos 💜
Hey Trippy I just got my mk8 2022 GTI would you mind making video what kinda mods you did to your car because I've across other videos are not similar to your builds and I'm trying to mods my car like yours. if you make a video, it would be great man so i have a idea what parts to buy. I really love how you modify the gti man. I would really appreciate it!
Found you on tik tok, love the car. I saw you had the sequential turning signals, where did you get them from and were they hard to install? Maybe you could do a video on them
excuse me for my bad English, congratulations for your video, can you tell me how you managed to get the grille and the strip in the lights in blue please, because it is originally red on the gti
Man the grey looks so good with the purple. I'm happy with my Orxy S model wish i had the lightbar and iq headlights. But damn do the darker colors look great on the mk8. Also is that a clubsport spoiler?
Awesome GTI i own a 23 black SE GTI manual. Really like ur build question on lowing since we had the same stock suspension. Any recommendations if i want the lower to be like maybe a couple inches to just get the gap now as much. But i would only feel comfortable doing like a fixed suspension still. Does lowering cars really mess with the handling eventually i want to track the car alot and if the suspension is the best stock for handling that answered my question and will keep it stock. Any thoughts or suggestions with my goal to me daily it for a few years then once i pay it off and warranty is out ill stage 2 it and look to do suspension. But before that i wasnt sure if there was good options to make it look better but not really effect handling.
Followed/Subbed Just picked up my white one looking at what ima do. Is the flames part of the stage 2 or did you have to do a custom flash or just higher octane? I'm thinking of going APR for my tune and setup.
hey what downpipe is it, i have a mk8 myself just and intake and exuast but i want to go catless and stage 2 034 but they dont have a downpipe out yet and im not sure who to go with. also is it a custom file or are the flames just the raw stage 2 file?
How did you fit the likewise shift knob? What thread did you use ? I thought the gti shifter wasn’t threaded Also subbed planning to get a mk8 next year 🤞🏼🤞🏼

I just got a 23 40th anniversary edition GTI and this car is awesome. I got it in white and it's looks really good with the club sport rims. I got for MSRP....with no added bullshit. Your whip looks good as fuck.
I was on the oem that came with the car Goodyears but I’m in the market currently for tires, in the meantime I got Accelera Sigma’s 215/35/18 gives me the perfect tire clearance for riding low & not killing my fenders. I do plan to push this car to its limits so I’ll be getting a 2nd set of wheels & tires for Mexico 🇲🇽
What downpipe are you running? I know 034 has one in the works and wondered if they gave you a prototype to test as Stage 2 ECU tune requires one. Thanks for the video!
I’m running Gumotorsports downpipe, I see they recently released a V2. At the time it was only miltek that had a dp & it’s 1k$+ then they released a dp think I got it for 400$ & holding up amazingly. Now there’s other options like CTS released there’s. 034 & uni are releasing next
At least in Florida you can’t, not sure about other places but I’ve called every dealer in the area & they told me it’s not a option it’s whatever they get in inventory😒
Man I can't believe the flames you get shooing out around 10:00 and other times. It's like a torch!

I was able to secure a 2023 40th anniversary edition and didn't have any dealer issues or markups
Me too. Got it last week. Tornado red.
One of the best Mk8s ive seen

It’s exactly the same as the MK7/7.5 GTI/R’s. There’s lot of videos on YT of the install already
You get flames like that with just the tune?
Catless down pipe I assume ? And probably no resonators or muffler
no i’m stage 2 catless dp, no res no muffler, no flames
@@tek3229probably spark plugs

I believe in you bro! I promise you I never could’ve imagined myself with this car a year ago.
In trippy we trust
Why «unfortunately» not a 24? Is there a big difference between 23 and 24? Only difference I see is piano plastic in 24?
Little late but how do you get the flame backfires I’m trying to do it without anything bad happening 😂
Love it. Can you tell me what turbo mods and bov i can fit in the golf 8 gti?

Are your wheels smaller than stock?

The BOV can't be healthy for that engine.
why can’t you order straight from dealer
At least in Florida you can’t, not sure about other places but I’ve called every dealer in the area & they told me it’s not a option it’s whatever they get in inventory😒
