brand new viewer, I enjoy both the vlogs and the straight up tutorials. Do what makes you happy, can't please everybody keep grinding and posting videos. I also have a tornado red MKV. Im jealous of the quality of the paint. Mine sat in the Arizona sun for a few years and it absolutely fried the clear coat on my car. Personally the best exhaust set up on these cars is a catless downpipe with the stock catback. Quiet when you baby it and can hear it when you get above 3k rpms. Just enough engine noise with no drone and doesn't overwhelm the noise of the turbo
Thanks for watching! And damn yeah the sun will do that, but trust me ours isn’t the best either lol in person it’s pretty awful 😂. And interesting we actually just installed the ecs cat back in our latest video but definitely will be going catless for sure! Thanks for your input!
This was well worth the wait thank you! Like the longer video style & the input from both of you working on the car - that is one job I would not want to try👏👏 Like you my Mk5 roof lining is sagging so looking forward to that video for some tips - although not sure I have your skills🤣🤣 Keep up the great work guys👏
Thank you for watching! And awesome yeah we’re going to try to do this style more often. But unfortunately the headliner sagging was so common on pretty much all the GTIs from that generation so we’ll try to make the video as simple to follow and hopefully you’ll be able to do it yourself!
How on earth did you get that much coolant out from the connection to the auxiliary pump? I tried doing a coolant flush recently and only 1.2L comes out of that location (spec is 8L). I had to do the rest from the lower radiator outlet and thermostat housing.
Hey guys enjoying the build ,this hits close to home, I have a mark 6 that im in the middle of trying to sort out on a budget.Same issues , some oil leaking , headliner I tore out but haven't done anything with yet, eventually I wanna pay someone to fix up a new one.I saw integrated engineering sells a stage 2 kit with some essentials and tune components.I feel your pain , trying to upgrade on a budget .I surf around on marketplace and craigslist for mods being sold off, you can find some deals.
Id say it’s not worth it, a cam follower is around $15, even with changing oil every 3-5k miles you’d never get close to spending the 600 or so dollars for the conversion kit on replacing the standard cam follower.
damn i had a nightmare with my MK5 had all cylinder misfire and oil leaking like crazy didnt know what was going on thought it was my rear main seal changed it out n still the same proplem until i figured it was this smh POS gti LOL
Honestly it’s so hard to pinpoint oil leaks when the bottom is covered in oil! But yeah unfortunately on this generation this housing is notorious for leaking 😬

Anytime I work on mine I just drop the front clip and rad support a little extra work makes it so much easier to excess

Where did you get that red striping on the interior? Looks dope
Came with the car from the previous owner! Yeah it was a nice touch for sure
LOVE the longer video!! Make them this long always!
Awesome thanks for the feedback we'll keep up the longer videos
Hahaha found you guys from the new edge wire tuck video, but I own a Mk5 GTI too. Luckily mine doesn't leak that bad.
Ayy that’s awesome, Welcome! And yeah thankfully we were able to fix it and don’t have this much of a leak anymore cus this was awful lmao 🤣
A TSI roller conversion for the high pressure fuel pump.. is a worthwhile mod that many FSI owners over look.
Thanks for the feedback, def will be looking into that!

@@waldosauryou can get the conversion kits for under 200 now. At that price and that fact I'm doing a set of Schrick cams I figured it was worth it.
Do you know the size of that screw on the oil cooler. That small screw on the bracket?
I believe it was a t30, if not that it’s an t25 I don’t remember
Get a freewheel for the balance shafts and do a LDP and evap and AC delete. Awesome video! My MK5 currently has a blown turbo💥
And runner flap deleted.
Interesting yeah we will look into that. Def we’re gonna do the runner flap delete no question! And damn you gonna put a bigger turbo in there now?
@@RatchetWrenches at least a ko4! On a quest for 350lb-ft of torque at the wheels!
@@J_F_WittsVws that’s a must don’t worry!
100% Tartan Plaid for the headliner!
That would be sweet! We’ll have to see if we can find it for a reasonable price

I too had to replace the oil filter housing on my mk5. Feel your pain, not fun at all
It definitely wasn't a fun job at all!
I’m next haha
Can you put a turbo boost gauge on the car
Are you asking if it’s possible to put on in the car or if we can? Because it’s definitely possible and we will probably put one in anyways
Checkered headliner
We went with black! Check out the video if you want it's up on our channel now
My leak isn’t too bad but I need to swap my oil filter housing too I have the parts
Im glad it wasn’t anything much worse. The title made me think it broke down internally
Yeah ours was really bad hahaha but yep no the internals were still good!!
@@RatchetWrenches as they should!
Glad I have a 2v mustang. What a pain in the ass that thing is to work on
Haha yes the 2v's are a breeze compared to this German engineered car
Agreed haha this German car is compact lol
