  • TOP 5 Mods for MK7 Golf GTI and MK7 GOLF R. In this video we go over my personal TOP 5 favorite mods that have been done to my previous mk7 gti and mk7 golf R! Having these best mods for the golf r and the best mods for the golf gti really improve the overall enjoyment and fun factor these already awesome cars have to offer.
    The Top 5 best mods for the Golf R and Golf Gti are broken down into three different sections being price, fun factor and aesthetic appeal. If I were to buy a Golf R or Golf Gti again these are Modifications that I have enjoyed and would purchase again for the mk7 gti and mk7 golf r platform.

    Another great video, I have a 13 gti. My favorite mods r the brembo gt bbk, apr intercooler, awe exaust, super pro front control arms and h&r rear sway bar. Plus the apr ecu, tcu tune and down pipe, these mods transformed my car into a very fun car. Keep up the good work.

    • @philslouka3430
      @philslouka3430 Před 3 lety

      Decrease, no. But depending on other mods, may be unneeded. If you are tuned I would for sure. The apr closed eliminates hot dense air. Thus its closed vs. Open design.

    • @andrewthomas7595
      @andrewthomas7595 Před 3 lety

      Depends on the intake, you wanna get a closed box that gets as much air as possible like the racingline r600 or integrated engineering with the lid. But in reality to get the full effect you'll need a bigger inlet pipe, outlet/discharge pipe and a tune that'll utilize more airflow

    Big brakes don’t really do a lot other than prevent brake fade. Stopping is stopping unless you’re flying around a track not giving your rotors a chance to cool off...

    • @vroomgc
      @vroomgc Před 3 lety

      Agreed but everyone has their own top 5 mods. Most say Ecu and sway bar and then it varies from there. My other 3 would be pedal box, intake box mod/inlet pipe and a turbo inlet elbow. I have done a few other mods but I like those best, so far.

  • @dailydrivensedans4875

    For those of you lookinng for a tune (which is what i consider the 1st or 2nd best mod too do) everyone knows apr is great but i would personally sacrifice the small bit of power for what i would consider an overall much better and safer tune from revo. Revo offers a bunch of safety cutoffa for your engine aswell as a dongle too be able to switch through different octane tunes in your car with a switch as opposed to apr where your stuck with whatever tune you had set. That little thing alone shooed me away from apr(that and they dont sell stage two downpipes anymore🥲😂
