TOP 5 MUST DO mods for your MK5 GTI! 

do you have a tune?

Personally I'd never get rid of the monzas.. most recognizable and unique (to any model) rims out there

Been thinking about putting a BOV on my MKV for that sounds. Found diverter valve spacers do the same thing (basically) and you don't lose HP. The spacer still allows the diverter to maintain manifold pressure reducing spool time while also giving you that sweet sweet Pshew! Sound we all love.

Watched your video about a year Ago and fell in love with this car and I’m proud to say I’ve had my mk5 2007 (silver) GTI for 3 months now and I can’t wait to put a cold air intake on it this weekend😈

Nicely done! Beautiful car

How much of a drop do you have on your coil overs man? And are you running spacers on the +35 offset wheel or no none ?

Austin, great job. Suggestion, with all due respect: If you are promoting a mod for a functional aspect of the car please learn what it does, how it does it and why. If not the only reason to do it is because you said so or you like spending money just for the bling of it. I will spend the coin but I gotta have a good reason. And you get that knowing the details, science and tech will get you bigger pay checks, make you hotter for the girls and is why we subscribe to you. Don’t short it, shrug and move on. Great videos happen when you loose the “I’m not sure why jive”. 1-Cool air intake What-This mod provides the coolest air available for the engine Why-Engine gets much more HP with cold air versus hot How-The turbo pushes compressed air into the cyl. Eng saves HP b/c it is not required to use some to suck the air in. The more air(compresses now) means more O2(oxygen) which is required to make the fuel go bang, more O2 higher the pressure better go fast. Hot air has very energetic molecules. Less room for O2, less pressure generated less HP. Cold air has much more useable volume so more O2, better bang, efficient. Dry air even better, water takes up valuable O2 volume, more O2 in the mix ratio, higher pressures more HP. Extra horsies all over this mod. This example may be what you want to shoot for. Plenty of places to add your styling. Less is more. We are here for the 411 not the chatter/banter, like most other tubers do. With this in mind pick a system on the car *see video topic list below* and with this treatment and good word economy the Likes, Subs and Girls will appear out of no where. Any questions you have about the science in the tech, or other do not hesitate to email me - djlock at gmail, text or call Six1nine six3four 6four88. Say it’s Austin. I got your back. Video ideas: Fuel, lubrication, cooling, aerodynamics, braking, tools(which ones like bolt splitter or and easy-out or torque wrench...how to use them, purchase them new or used-Swapmeet/garage sale, Loctite, penetrating oil, other consumables, fixing paint nicks scratches, upholstery, various adjustments, fuel/oil additives-just say no, no, no...maybe tires Please know there are so many people that want this info. With your natural talent and the What, Why and How giving the science and tech understanding you will be racking in the loot.

The car looks clean AF! I love the white

Hello, fellow 08 MK5 owner here. That's a mighty fine ride you have there, sir. Unfortunately I have a DSG, so it's pointless installing a BOV in my car. I love the sound though.

Appreciate the vids, MK5 owner myself and also from Jerz! can you please tell me how we passing emissions tho?? Im tired of switching back my stock exhaust and downpipe every 2 years! smh.

Love the sound and nice wheels beautiful car . Mine has just gone in to have the rear bumper r32 look for the gti one hole ..colour coded. Here in uk ....

1. Cold Air Intake 0:44 2. Suspension 2:00 3. Rims 3:58 4. Exhaust 5:07 5. BOV 8:00

You should totally make your bumper the same color as the rest of the car, it literally makes the car look so much better :), overall very nice car tho

Perfect list

The exhaust where do i get it and what engine do you have in that gti?

Getting an s3 front brake setup should be the first thing to do

so which motor is in these mk5 gti's? i know a 1.8t and a 2.0t. but is this 2.0 the ae888? i'm trying to get the correct solid shifter linkage end bushings for the i'm getting like 4-5 different options. i know it's the rectangler shaped one.

Nice vid, i have the same Candy White on my gti too)) since i saw you had a stage 2, will you be getting a big brake kit? that's what i think i wanna do as my 2nd mod after the short throw shifter.

Got all of those mods.. my GTI sounds just like yours

wots a safe nice looking lowering mm, my mercedes 190e was dropped 20mm and scraped, on 16 inch rims

I love the car and the song at the beginning

By any chance have you consider led tail lights on a mk5? I haven't seen one or a video. Can you review one, with your recommendations?

Cooler ijectors fuel pump exhaust tune lowering done.

They never fix any potholes here in Jersey.

springs don't cause the bouncy ride, it's the lack of shock rebounding control

What offset are your rims and once you did the coil overs with the offset aftermarket rims it pushed them out flush ?

Name of wheels??

Would this work for the Volkswagen rabbit. I have one from 2007z

I know you did the head liner. Can you do a tutorial for that please? Just bought a mkv and in much need of fixing it. Thank you!

I have a 2006 mk5 GTI that I bought new. I have kept it nearly stock. It is a very pleasant car to travel in so I stay away from modifications that make the car noisier. I got APR stage 1 years ago and its makes the car fast, but I quit using it because I would rather the car be less jumpy than go faster when floored. The two modifications I would recommend for mk5 GTI owners is to upgrade the stereo to one with bluetooth, usb input, and android auto/apple carplay if desired, and an extra set of wheels and snow tires if you live in a snowy environment.

What's the measurements of the rims? Nice video man!

Do you know the cause of car shaking when the engine is cold? More exactly, when I start the car in the morning. It shakes quite strong for one or two minutes, and after the engine is warmed up, it stops shaking. Thanks and cheers!

At what point should I look at tuning it? I'm planning on doing a cold air and an exhaust first.

I’m planning on making my gti mk5 more louder, but I’m very inexperienced when it comes to mods. Any suggestions? I’m also thinking of changing the tail lights with led lights, do you have any opinions on that?

I just got mk5 gti and I want to know where I can get this exhaust because the link does not work. And I would apprciate if you can tell where to get cheaper exhausts. Love your videos man!!

Name of so song?

Jersey and GTI gang

how did you do the headliner

Just bought my first mk5 gti I’m not famously at all with tuning these euro cars , I came from a 2016 focus st and it was easy to tune the car, anyone know if I have to get a Cobb accessport ? Or what do I buy to get flash tunes of the shelf ? I’m confused

What rims are they?

did the BOV or any of the mods cause a check engine man??

What’s The name of your exhaust the link won’t work

Where did you get ur exhaust for 450???

Nice rice. Are u still using 17” wheels or 18”???

I’m getting a 2007 GTI as a project car. I’m 15 and can’t wait to work on it and do some upgrades

Hey man, what’s your wheel setup and what are the sizes?

What lug pattern is it

Question are gti se’s automatic

did you buy or make that sort of custom enclosure beneath the air intake? thats interesting. I wonder if you get the same or better results, but obviously its sweet because theres no way for water or liquid to splash upwards from beneath. An air intake thats all crap, be happy if you got 1-5hp extra. Imean really, dyno a car with and without one, small chance you could see a decent result imo on nice high power cars but an average daily or something with less power,, nope, im not sure what it would do with a gti but to be fair we can say 5hp, its not that great of a mod, sometimes its better to just put a reusable k&n same as factory and be done with it.

Dsg in my opinion so much better and I just switched from a manual 03 Mustang gt and I can say this is much better for daily driving , love my mk5

I would have been highly disappointed with that BOV purchase tbh I know I’m late af lol but I recommend spending a lot more on one the sound is so much crisper

fire vid

I just bought a 2007 gti but I’m kind of mad that I can’t get an access port

What’s your rims called along with specs

RATCHET WRENCHES..wen you up to speed but nothing silly,do you ever here there gear change wen your about to stop? Only ever so often i mean,but if driving slow and come to a stop then you’ll not here nothing? Thank you

Where in Jersey you from? I'm up north in Morris county

I personally have a mk5 got Pirelli edition! I love my mk5

can you give a link for the blow off valve you used

clean vid haha , basically hard flex

That red roof, how? Love it, would like to do the same with mine

How did you replace headliner??

Ayyy

Engineering r&d went into induction do not put a pod that is not completely isolated from engine bay.

What about anti lag ? :)

Living in jersey is a struggle brotha

I have an 2007 eos 2.0t, thinking about modding it 😭

HYFR!

💪🏻🔝💪🏻

You know any tuners un Jersey?

A induction kit don't give you cold air feed, your engine gets hot because not closed off like a oe box it gets hotter. Hotter air equals less power. A induction kit will however give better throttle response

Bought my GTI with h & r coilover's

Wheels*

Sick ride! Only thing i'd change is to either tint the tail lights, or add tinted LED tail lights like these: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hkL67opl-Ps.html I really don't like the 'stock' tail lights of the Mk5.

Carbon build up monster

I will buy a golf mk5 gti too in 2 years but I wand it powerful and good looking because I will spend more money to get the performance better

Is the headliner stock or you did it?

KO4 is the first thing you do

Never will agree with you on the DSGs. otherwise love this content.

I prefer the engine cover on my car, the engines are ugly to look at, i have 18 Detroit vw wheels and lowered some, i don't like the exhaust it sounds like a boat or tractor

Hey man I finally mounted my new air intake and it's pretty nice. Got rid of that ugly engine cover. Have a look: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nr_LE733iaE.html :)

Hate that dam air box 🤬😡😡😡

Personally going to have to disagree right off the bat with the cold air intake making the engine bay "cleaner" its a fucking bombsite of an engine without the original cover. Plus you dont actually make much of a gain from a cold air intake on a car thats been optimized from the factory already.

Automatic

First thing.. get a manual

It's wheels.. not rims!

Step 1 sell your gti step 4-5 Buy a golf R

The exhaust sound horrible especially in automatic 🤦🏻‍♂️

Automatic!!?? 🤦🏽‍♂️ CMON BRUH

Nice automatic smh waste

kinda want to look at the car and not you. no offense

Boo 👎 Automatic! 😂
