  • If you are into Volkswagen's or highly modified cars well then this video is for you. Today I got to sit down with Alex Pappas to hear his story on his MK4 Volkswagen Jetta build. This car has a pretty amazing story and the amount of time and effort Alex has put into this build needs to be show cased to the world. while most people may just see a Jetta as a daily driver Alex took is "Daily Driver" and turned it into some very specials. From the beautiful shaved bay to the crazy back story on the Jetta, this is an episode I hope you all enjoy and a series you all would like to see more of. If you enjoy please Like, Share and Subscribe to the channel!
    Alex is what I call a true enthusiast. He built his Jetta the way he envisioned it, with no expenses spared and the dedication of 8 consistent years of building the Jetta. With the help of his friends, family and his wife the car has been at many Volkswagen shows up and down the east cost of the United States and has won many awards.
    I would love to hear what you all think about Alex's big turbo Jetta? What do you think of the shaved engine bay, the fender to lip fitment or the custom interior?

      That is so awesome to read! Good luck on your build! These engines can handle tons of boost.
      I inherited my mk4 GLI VR6 from my step-grandpa after he killed himself! I was suicidal at the time and my 3-series was in need of a timing chain at the time as regular maintenance before I tuned it & my mk4 saved my life, physically & mentally. Gave me a reliable & amazingly fun platform to drive until I finished my f30 3-series. Now I enjoy them both & VR6 is getting turbo next month! 🙂 my f30 is @ 420whp & 450+ wtq still on her stock twin scroll

    What fuel are you running in the engine if you haven’t dropped compression with a head spacer? E85? 93 or 91?

    • @ThreePedalGarage
      @ThreePedalGarage  Před 2 lety

      So he runs 91 but only runs 10 PSI basically the max you can push on a completely stock block without lowering compression.

      @@ThreePedalGarage thanks for clarifying, something always felt off as R32 parts FLY as soon as they get on the site, almost as if people had prior knowledge to the time drop. But this IS different for sure and it was first come first serve. Ok good, I was always skeptical to it because it's hard to find people that genuinely uphold that ideology to be equally fair to everyone. Good to know this was still the case here!

      Thats a mk4 Jetta. I drive my 2003 MK4 GLI 24v VR6 every day. It's not a mk5. It's a mk4! Shut the fuck up with that misinformation brother. Mk4.5 dropped halfway through 2004 & had an upgraded body kit. They are called the mk4.5 & they are extremely rare. There may be one for tbe mk3- mk4 but what you just said is absolutely bullshit about the mk4

      Definitely a mark 4. The vw a4 and b5 are my most favorite vw cars to date.
