- I decided to take my channel in a new direction by branching out and taking on a completely new platform! This car will be a new challenge by building something outside of the norm for me. This car will still be an absolute blast to drive on the street, but will certainly have its disadvantages on the drag strip. I can't wait for you all to follow along my journey as I build my brand new 2023 VW GTI Performance to an absolute monster on the drag strip, while continuing to be my daily driver!

My '15 Golf R was the reason I bought my '18 RS3, I love the platform. The GTI is incredible value for money (although I would really miss the physical HVAC buttons). Nice it to see a dealership embracing the car scene.
Excited for the channel
And I'm excited to bring you guys some wicked content!
Great fun video looking forward to the build!
Thanks for watching!
Look forward to this build! I bought an RS3 after watching your videos but was looking at GTI also.
Thanks for watching! I hope you love your RS3 as much as I love mine.
Very nice content, you are part of that small percentage of people that love to test things and get real data collection. Good luck with this new platform.
Thank you!
Looking forward to this content! Keep up the great work :)
Thanks!
Gotta be honest with you Adam. You're my inspiration, in a sense that I want to be like you one day. Congratulations on the GTI! I can't wait to see what you'll do with it! 😊
I can't decide whether I should be honoured or terrified by your statement 🤣. Thank you very much for your kind words!
@@VancityAudi I think you should be honoured, if I achieve this goal, I'll let ya know. Because I've been thinking about it. You're welcome!
@@TheVelionaEberbachXXX I'll take it! All the best in achieving your goals!
Looking forward to these videos! Saw your post on the MK8 Facebook group! I'm glad you ended up choosing the DSG model because seems like most MK8 featured CZcams cars are manual. I'm excited to see how your modding route differs from mine!
Thanks for the support! I'll always be an automatic guy because I want to go fast, haha. Whether it be a DSG or ZF8, it'll be faster down the drag strip than a manual.
@@VancityAudido you plan to tune it soon? The TCU tune isn't out for 23 models which is unfortunate for us mk8 dsg owners.
@@geminierica4077 I up'd the power after owning it for a week 😉
Recently picked up a MK8 myself and can’t wait for this series. Hoping to see the Unitronics flex tune in here🤞🏼
Congrats! I'll be trying my best to showcase a little something from everyone on this car to help people make the best buying decisions possible for their Mk8's.
Love the way this video was done!
Thank you very much!
This is hilarious, I literally just got rid of my b8.5 s5 and got a new GLI Autobahn. You helped inspire me alot on my old b8.5 s4/5 cant wait to see what you do on the GTI!
That's so cool! Hopefully my videos help you to get the most out of your GLI too!
Adam Congrats! can;t wait to see the end results.
Thank you very much!
Congrats Adam ! Love the color and the styling of the new GTI . You know me I would put the flow design kit on it and it would be slower ! LOL . Going to look great with a subtle drop . Cannot wait to see what you do to it !
As always, thank you for the endless amount of support you've shown over the years. I truly appreciate it.
Had a MK7 GTI, youll love it! It is absolutely a beginners guide for modifying cars, yes you have the capacity and knowledge already but the content that can be generated from this will be insane and even better for the channels growth, my old Mk7 before I sold it was 400 horsepower on stock turbo! You will love it!!!
So far, I have loved it! It's such a fun car to drive. I'm extremely excited to bring my passion for performance to the Mk8 GTI community!
Awesome car ! We currently have a 2023 R but we can not tune the TCU yet …. Hoping it gets unlocked soon !
Thanks! I've got my fingers, eyes and testicles crossed!
Stage 2 Unitronic E85 incoming!!!
Good luck!
Thanks! That and MORE will be coming!
Congrats on your new GTI! I picked up my urano grey 40th GTI back in May of this year and have been loving every moment of it. StratifiedAuto from Surrey which also has a CZcams channel has dynoed the MK8 GTI using both regular and premium fuel. There was no power difference between both fuel types on a stock car.
Thank you! Stratified Auto is local to me. We'll see if my results were any different than theirs!
She's really good at sale! 🥰
I couldn't agree more! She's awesome!
Great platform to build on 👌
Thank you
MK8 exterior is amazing, and mechanically awesome. However, you're a brave soul to go toe to toe with that new infotainment system. I do not know what VW was thinking there. Good thing is all you'll be staring at are the front gauges :D
It's been tough to get used to that's for sure. Luckily, I'm all about performance and much less about the functionality of the infotainment system. I also love the exterior styling.
Mate of mine just bought the golf r 8 be interesting to see the difference between that and the gti
Mine will be much slower! 😭
This will be fun.
Agreed
Those hit’s can be pretty fast with the right mods 😊
That's the goal!
Congrats to your new daily! Since I have 2 Audis and 1 Vw I have noticed som differences. First of all you will find better quality in the Audis. Many things are alike but Audis have more of nice features even if you have a very well equipped car. The biggest difference in my opinion is the automatic transmission. I have the same engine in an Audi and in my Vw but they feel like totally different cars to drive. The DSG is not as agile and quick. Lets see if you notice the difference.
Well seeing as this VW GTI comes with a DQ381.2 and my RS3 comes with a DQ500, I don't expect it to drive the same. So far I can tell the build quality is not as good just from the initial fit and finish.
VanCity VW. Congrats on the new car,
Im ready to see the mods. One question why GTI and not a Golf R? Since golf r is awd
Thank you. I wanted something more affordable, and that reached a broader audience. Plus, it'll be a huge challenge to get it to hook on the drag strip with only 2 tires putting down the power.
Looks awesome dude....can we get her @ haha
@Zeina_Ann
VancityVAG has a ring to it! 😂
It certainly does!
Welcome to the MQB platform my friend!
Thank you for the warm welcome!
@VancityAudi cant wait to see what ya do with it. I daily a 2020 A3 IE Stage 2 Flextune. Its a blast
the rs3 is on the mqb platform ;)
@@sappalajnen lmfao im such an idiot hahahaha
@@rubberskilla2991 hahah it happens to the best of us 😁
Congratulations. I was really hoping it was a MK8 R so I can copy your build but the GTI is basically the same minus the bigger Continental turbo and the AWD. I’m more then excited to follow all your videos
Thank you very much for your support! I really wanted to get into a more affordable daily that will reach a larger audience. I hoped I'd achieve that with a GTI vs an R.
@@VancityAudi Very smart move. I posted your video on the MK8 GTI and R Facebook group. There is over 19k members in it. If your not in there already would be great to have you
@mqbr4695 thanks! We may have double posted it then! Haha. I joined a few of those groups as well to start sharing my content in hopes of helping MK8 GTI owners get more performance out of their rides.
@@VancityAudi I just deleted it because I saw you had it posted already. You are what we needed to bring some heat to this platform. The potential is there minus the locked TCU unfortunately
@mqbr4695 once the TCU is unlocked I'm sure we'll be able to fully exploit this little EVO4 and DQ381.2!
You need a Hurt Alert in that new MK8 man!
Lol, what's a Hurt Alert?
Golf ball head, little man in a boat… she is freaky!
She's got a great imagination!
What happened to the B9?
I see IE talking a lot of things about how the engine failures were not their fault, but Audi's?
This is what happened: czcams.com/video/YnNEa-qY_3k/video.html
Considering we've now seen engine failures running tunes from every aftermarket tuning company, including APR, IE, Uni, and 034, I'd have to agree with them to some extent
My biggest problem/concern with everything going to the single, digital screen is - what if it breaks? There are at least enough steering wheel controls/etc. that you could get by on infotainment type functions, but what about the air/heating controls??
I have similar concerns. My guess is that if one thing goes, then the entire unit needs to be replaced. Hopefully I never find out!
@@VancityAudi Finally got into a B9 S4 last month (2022 model) and was glad to see that the a/c controls were still separate. In Texas with our summers, it would be a show-stopper to not be able to work them controls! Congrats on the new GTI!
@@RickTCPB congrats and thanks! The B9 S4 is a beast and extremely comfortable daily. I'm sure you'll love it.
Was hoping he was getting a Golf R or even a mk7.5 gtin😂😂
You were close!
I still drive mk6 gti :)
wish you would of gone with the Golf R to see how far you would push that platform
If you were willing to pay the additional 16k for the car, I would have been happy to!
Love the front end fogs. Interesting to see how big of an issue wheel spin will be for fall, winter once there’s some decent power.
Hate to break it to you, but there's wheel spin stock 🤣
Switching to 034 tunes? Since IE is out of he mk8 game for now.
I'll be exploring LOTS of different options on the car to provide the viewers a better overall view of what is out there.
haptic touch buttons are great until your going 110+ and your hands sweat while trying to turn off the lane keep assist
🤣I keep lane assist off all the time. I hate all the safety nannies!
@@VancityAudi good point!
Are you selling the S4? Canned it?
Not sure what canned it means, but we're waiting on the tools from Audi to hopefully repair the motor. Then I'll be back out to run a 9.
Stage 3 in plans?
Will it be a drag car?
Which one of my cars hasn't been used for drag racing??? 🤔 You bet your ass I'll be drag racing it!
@@VancityAudi Cool, any stage 3 plans? I think there are no solutions out there yet, except custom made ones ?
@sergius1298 You'll have to wait and see what I have planned for this build. I can promise you it will be worth the wait!
Not sure how long it will take before you come up against the limitations of FWD. I suspect not very. I think an R would be a much better car to build, except for the fact that VW isn't serious about offering them in Canada. I was considering purchasing a 2023 Golf R 20th Anniversary Edition, but VW only allocated 3 to Vancouver and the dealer markup was obscene. Sorry, not interested in getting a** r*ped by greedy dealerships. I ended up getting a low mileage 2020 M2C for less than an R would have cost. The M2C is more car for less money and it's RWD, which is way more fun.
Hey, if you want to pay the difference for an R for me, then I'll trade in the GTI in a heartbeat! Seeing as I know that won't happen, I'm perfectly content with my traction limited GTI.
@@VancityAudi Haha, good try! I think VW really dropped the ball on the R. The production volume is way too low and the price is too high.
@darylmorse you just pointed out two major reasons why I didn't choose it to build.
Suprised you didnt go with the Golf R
I really wanted to dive into something completely different from what I've built in the past. A GTI is more affordable as a daily as well, and I hope to reach and help a larger audience with their cars.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions at gcvw
No problemo! Anything I can do to help!
@@VancityAudi
Your next video actually is something I've wanted to find out. so again
Answering the hard questions
Appreciate what you do and the videos you make
@@slymarbo4046 you're very welcome. That's why I do what I do! To help others have more fun in their cars while getting more performance out of them.
How’s this like on fuel?
AMAZING so far! Anywhere between 23-28mpg while stock. I know once I start modifying it, it will get worse though.
Just wondering why didn’t you go for a golf r ?
More affordable option, and I think it will allow me to help a much broader audience get the best performance out of their rides.
What happened to taking into account how the car feels and drives when deciding to buy it or not? Don’t let progressive technology keep you out of a car. Drive one and experience it for yourself before you dismiss the car. I remember when phones went to full touchscreen and everyone freaked out because it didn’t have a physical keyboard, now we couldn’t imagine having a physical keyboard on a phone…at least I can’t lol.
I'm loving the way it drives!
Dub for the Magicducks uncle
No idea what that means, lol
@@VancityAudi Yes you do 😉
@@aroe7819 Dude who Tf are you?
She said little man in a boat lol😜
She did, and I had absolutely no idea what she really meant lol
Hey looks like an @TuneZilla collab 😉
I'll be looking to collaborate with a bunch of companies on this one
@@VancityAudi can't wait to see what happens!
So no more S4?
I still have the S4. We're waiting for the tools from Audi to hopefully fix the motor. We've already been waiting 2.5 months for them to come in. Once it's fixed, I'll attempt to run a 9 second run, and then it will be for sale.
little man in the boat?! 🤣😂
It does kind of look like one! Lol
@@VancityAudi Not sure its the same in the North but that's a slang term for the cl*toris here... :P
@@qu4ttro0 🤣 I could just be really old, but I've never heard of that!
What happened to the S4 ? 😢
This is what happened: czcams.com/video/YnNEa-qY_3k/video.html
@@VancityAudiI know but did you sell it ?
@stangfreak2002 no. We will be attempting to fix it, run a 9, and then sell it.
FWD OR AWD
It's a GTI, not a Golf R. They only come in FWD.
@@VancityAudi thanks for the info I didn’t know that.👍🏼
@adrenalinowner7992 no problemo
Where's the rs3?????
Being repaired
@@VancityAudi please updated us...im still waiting to see why she bkew up twice after the build.yikes
@@niphav917 it never blew up twice after the build. I explained it all here: czcams.com/video/gE3jxO5UTW0/video.html
Had an MK7 and now an RS3. Someone needs to let her know nothing about the backseat is comfortable for passengers. Unless they don’t have legs 😂
Maybe she's watched a few of my videos and knows those back seats won't be in the car for very long 🤣
@@VancityAudi she was great as a saleswomen that’s for sure
@@jordanreimer8117 Agreed
I know it is your daily car. But you shouldn't be about performance if you break stuff and can't afford it to be fixed. There was so much potential in the S4/RS3 but I get it... it is cheaper to pay 300$ a month than to become a true performance enthusiast and fix what broke up. Believe me a lot of people would love to see that type of content. Wondering what will be the next daily when a bolt comes loose in this one ;)
🤣🤣🤣 Who's to say I'm not fixing what's broken? 🤣🤣🤣 Gotta love the ignorant peanut gallery's assumptions 🤫 We're waiting for the tools from Audi to come in to hopefully fix the S4's motor, and then we'll be back out running 9's. We're waiting on the RS3's block to come back from the machine shop so we can finish the build, and then we'll be back out creating content with it. I've always wondered what encourages viewers to make comments based solely on assumptions knowing absolutely nothing about what's going on behind the scenes??? 🤔🤔🤔
2:56 Queue the Star wars MEME!!! LIAR!!!! Haptic touch is junk! get rid of it! LOL
this looked like "this aint a car review" video on pornhub with that "presenter"
😂 I have no idea what you're talking about, but now I'm curious, so for the sake of research I'm going to look it up!
The saleswoman looks like she’s on onlyfans
I'll let her know to start one so you can subscribe!
@@VancityAudi 100% 😂
A real man drives Audi not a GTI 😂😂😉
Guess I'm not a real man then!
A real man buys whatever he wants 😅
@michalis75 couldn't agree with you more!
