Brandon's BIG Turbo 538BHP MK6 Golf R is SAVAGE! 

This is true

True story, heheheheh

He sounds South African

@@sihlemzobe807 ma se €^#÷

Yooo as soon as I heard his accent I was like fellow South African whoot?!

It's probably overloaded in fuel

@@maxly501 No way, i thought running rich would make so little smoke it cleans the air

@@Barn94 acting like a smartass? A good map should smoke

My 6R is 360bhp and smokes like a coal mine 😂

Yeah I noticed that, surprised he doesn't get pulled over every time he drives it, and checked for decat's. It's a bit too obvious.

Is that a good thing? 😂

I like them both, I just think the mk6 has a little bit better interior.

Had both. Apart from the 5 pot sound, 6R is a much better car. Loved every minute of my ownership, but yes. I get what youre saying. I lost interest after the 6R, its so much more interesting than the Mk7

@@Bazgti250 I'm picking up a 2013 Golf R this month. I currently own an Autobahn Edition 2012 GTI with a DSG and a k04. Going to have to make a decision if I'm going to keep the GTI or not this next year once I really spend some time with the R.

@@JustinStrife 1st stop is remap! I had APR on mine. Unleashing those extra horses makes all the difference. Mime was stage 2 + in the end and was a match for most things on the road. Excellent car. Enjoy it mate.

@@Bazgti250 My GTI has an APR k04, Tune, FMIC and DSG Tune and it rips. Planning on going stage 2 with the R right away. Wish we got the DSG here in the states with the 6R and debating whether it's worth finding a shop to swap one in to replace the stick. If you had both cars, would you try and keep them, or sell the GTI?

@@JustinStrife THe DSG is a game changer. The 6R was my 1st, and then both RS3s I've had have obviously been S tronic too. Once you own a DSG, you won't want a manual again. They're just so much easier to own. The purists wouldn't agree though. I can imagine it'd cost to get a DSG box to the US, but if you had the money, do it! There won't be many over there that have done the conversion. Depends on your budget. Driving in the UK is expensive. We have road tax, fuel and insurance to contend with begore maintenance. I couldn't run both. Il throw it out there and say that once you drive the R, the GTI won't get a look in. As good as a GTI is, the R just does everything better.

Im running stock injectors on my 6r and use straight meth as a power adder to keep things afe and to also help keep the carbon build up at bay! I did want to run a IE manifold and ustilse the stock injectors as well as a big set top mount for my fuelling, but found out quite quickly that to run 8 injectors on a mk6 r is bloody expensive! Seeing as how popular they are there has to be an ecu out there in the poor mans range that i can afford to run a proper setup. Making 357awk at present at 32psi. Had it at 380 at one stage but as the meth is being used as an power adder, it was tuned down to a safer level. Tbh honest i only use about 2-4 liters of meth per tank as it only turns on at about 15psi. So everyday driving it lasts for ages, but if you get a heavy foot my G25-660 will suck that meth down like a crack head!

Smokes because of the spray pattern on the rs3 injectors and pcv delete. Ea113 can do 500bhp. The reason most don't is high egt hybrids, more miles, years of weathering piston rings (main culprit of failure) and early torque spikes. Other failures are maintenance related. Personally I don't think the ea888 will hold up as well due to widespread lease deals and poor maintenance. Granted its a better engine in some parts but has silly design implementation in other. I also think the older ea113 based cars is a much more rawer experience allowing for a more engaged drive. My friend has a 550bhp golf r and it was just soulless, the experience is so insulated that 120mph feels like 40 😂 very capable cars but you have to be going crazy speeds to get any sort of buzz. My edition 30 is running 530bhp and it's just savage, the feedback and experience is similar to my evo 5. Plus my eddy weighs 1280kg and is only clubsport spec it absolutely tanks his car in races.

@@MikelDog So essentially you'd want a built ea113 because of their age now. Expensive but might as well if you're after big power. Otherwise just do an OEM k04 upgrade with associated OEM upgrades (S3 FMIC, S3 injectors, S3 HPFP, RS4 FPRV) and call it a day. I love my ea113 and I'm bone stock lol

@@stephenpato5524 yeah stage 2+ as its called on a k04 or even a k04 hybrid on stock block is crazy power for a fwd.

@@MikelDog Oh how come it's a Stage 2+? I would've thought what I'd listed was the minimum requirement for going k04?

@@stephenpato5524 if you look at rtech performance website they are the best in UK for this kind of stuff. The s3 and mk5 gti hpfp is the same. What you need is the vis hpfp internal which is the difference between stage 2 and stage 2+. The record for a k04 is over 410bhp and 440ftlbs of torque

yeah was surprised at how much smoke comes out the tailpipe on power..

In my (non-expert) view it's over fuelling, which helps with in-cylinder temps

Decat, my mates mapped ep3 smokes when he puts foot down

@@richiebtime489 Agreed , its safer to run rich rather than lean but its then going to use more fuel than it needs to . It could do with setting up a little better and leaning off a tad to reduce the smoke in my opinion .

@@markevo6 Yep, I would also agree with that. It doesn't need to fuel 'that' much.....With the bit of turbo tuning I've done, meth/water injection isn't all it's cracked up to be as water isn't compressible and just increases in cylinder pressures?

Its due the rs4 injectors

Hottest we have had it here this year “the hottest in quite a few years” was 33 but normally it’s around 25/28 ish

@@hovi5721 what about the RS3 injectors?

rex super sport

Because he’s gone for cheap pistons

Rs4 injectors

Yeah something is not running right

They say around 500hp if maintained well and you keep the torque manageable.

I was thinking the same thing 🤔

I am indeed 👍🏼

I think he is

Def south african

Aweh hond this guy is from sa I can hear

I am indeed South African 🇿🇦

Can't really compare the 2...that car competes with a 7.5R

@@WaseemKhan-iu4bh true but on looks alone I would still go for a Beemer any day of the week

@@harviepugh6533 each to their own both great cars

@@harviepugh6533 BMW interior styling has always been lacking though, and they are even less reliable than volkswagons.

Yes👍

I don’t like the wraps.com logo think it messes it up. But I think he’s tied together everything very nicely and the car is certainly not all bark and no bite.

Because he is...
