Mk5 Jetta 2.5 5 Cyl POV Drive

Little rip down one of my favorite backroads. Making some good noises and getting the Jetta thru the twisties is always a good time. Might try and do a couple more of these with the Jetta and maybe even with some other cars to… you can also hear the General GMax RS’ singing the song of their people as they’ve begun to reach the end of their life, PS4S’ inbound soon.

I love how these 2.5s sound. Sometimes I regret getting my GTI over a 2.5 Golf/Rabbit just because of how the 2.5 sounds compared to the EA888. Both are still fantastic cars overall.

Have you done any sort or tuning ...planning to get one ?

[@FuseMS]

Absolutely! I have an Integrated Engineering Stage 1 Tune, custom Cat back exhaust, and AFE CAI. All of them wake the 07k up a ton, still not super fast, but its peppy, and makes a great noise. Plus combine that engine with some sticky Michelins and some coilovers... makes for a super fun daily/backroad ripper

@@FuseMS I too have a used mk 5 with 2.5 ... But in Canada it's hard to get a custom tuning and I don't know to do it myself ...and IE states with custom exhaust it can pump 200 hp

@@cyrilmatthew2995 I would reach out to Integrated engineering, I worked with them closely cuz mine is a 2010 mk5 which is mid mk5 and mk6 so they were nice enough to help a lot to make it happen. Not sure what they can do about Canada but im sure they would be glad to help
