Got a Mazda 3 turbo last December for my daily. Drove it 50k miles. The first mod I'm making is a big brake kit, wheels & tires. The brakes are the car's greatest weakness. OK until you do more than a minute or two spirited driving, then they fade hard. And I live in the mountains... so that happens a lot.
Going with corksport probably. Wheels so I don't have to use shims, and with 17 inch diameter instead of 18 to help with potholes.
Hey guys what’s the name of the track that’s in the intro in the very beginning
Literally at 0:00
Don’t you all get 3 door hot hatches in Australia…. Great channel and the work you do is amazing to. JX
I like those hats
Mighty car mods is one of the only big car youtubers that accually do normal car mods that their viewers can replicate. Love them for that
Ever heard of Donut?

Alan's a legend. Turbo Yoda cameo totally made my day.
Same here. I've been missing him.
@@EdBruceWRX I’m here every week! Just on another channel 😉
Its been soo long!
@@EdBruceWRX Careful, that might be Woody trying to get you into his "van"...
I was literally watching this and thinking "Hmm.. Long time since we saw turboyoda" 😂
Never in my life thought to call them a Golfswagen, and I now will for the rest of it. Cheers Marty.
@taponmyprofiletocontactme50014get out of here clanker
This is awesome, I got a mk7 GTI and the first thing I did was exhaust, but I noticed real power gains when I added the CHOPPED sticker on the back.
I have a prosthetic leg, and I used to sort of limp around. When I had a new one made, I had a chopped sticker placed on the carbon fiber under the gel coat, and now I can walk and run faster
I think Alan works well with others, I love his sense of humour with others.
Not had TurboYoda on MCM for years! Good to see him down in NSW from his day job at the Skid Factory
It's a awesome vid when turboyoda is featured.
i thought they had a fight with turbo yoda which is why he wasn't on there for years
@@marcrutzou716 they asked him to drive a Honda and he was offended
That's a good school report comment. Alan works well with others.
Marty got mighty close with that knife opening up the exhaust 😅
After the first one I was like 👀, then he did it again!
Who doesn't cut towards themself.
Cut towards your chum, not your thumb!
Noticed this 🔪🩸
I puckered when I saw that.
I've missed seeing Al on MCM. Hopefully he's here doing something magical with the grovel
be careful what you wish for

The best advice is not to over do it. Never benchmark power levels to a race car. Always have a target in mind and STICK TO IT. Daily driving, reliability drivability and maintainability (RDM) is priority. Only then comes power, handling, etc.
Way more excited than I should be to see turbo Yoda on the channel again 😂
Love seeing Turbo Yoda on MCM! You should take a trip to the Skid Factory and check out the sick cars they've built! The Hako and the Crown etc etc.
I can't believe how much I smiled with the Turbo Yoda cameo, I really hope he's doing the work on the Levorg! Great stuff guys xo
So happy you guys made your way back to the MK7. In my opinion, they are one of the most easily modifiable cars out there that have the looks, refinement, and practicality to make it THE BEST daily driver on the road. I'd argue that it also has one of the best motors as far as tuning and capability goes. Being able to push close to 2.5X the stock HP of the car and still being reliable is unheard of from every other car manufacturer.
let me introduce you to toyota and honda
@@nasaten Usually the opinion people have when they haven't owned one.
Gotta love turbo yoda. He makes every video just that little bit better.
Seeing Turbo Yoda again on MCM warms what's left of my heart🤘
Having owned VAG car for a couple years and changing between winter/summer tires, using a wheel alignment pin or "Tommy bar" is a game changer. I haven't seen you guys use one and definitely recommend it. I love the content! Keep it going!
The purity is real on this "GolfsWagon" 😂
I guess Turbo Yoda has been down to help out with the Grovel getting the flat 6 fitted( sorry don't the engine codes), can't wait to see SuperGramps 2.0!
Looking forward to seeing whatever Turbo Yoda does with the Levorg 😊
maybe same engine as supergramps in a levorg
Forged, twin turbo, ez36 here we come.
Hey guys, just want to say that I've been loving the golf content the last year or so. As a mk7 GTI owner myself, and engineer at that, this is absolutely the best golf content on youtube. You didn't mention which tune you flashed with the accessport, but I can't recommend a tuner like EQT or Stratified enough. Cobb doesn't put the time into the golf platform that they did on subarus, and looking at datalogs my EQT files run much smoother, with less knock feedback, all while making more power. Keep up the great content!
Revo is pretty popular in the vag bus scene
In the states I had APR on mine but it had to be done at a physical location. For a flash tune Integrated Engineering that you can do at home is also a great option imo.
@@eustahijelifetips i went from revo stage 2 to eqt stage 2, i can confidently say revo is trash
Came here to say this, general consensus amongst VW people is cobb tune isn't good, access port is useful though, sneaky tuned or stratified comes up a lot as recommended. I went with IE on my mk6
Love my MK7 sport, and I’m graduating with a degree in mechanical engineering in two weeks! Can’t wait to have some extra money to get a southbend clutch and go stage 1.
Absolutely love this video! The only thing now would be to do another modernisation car video for those of us who have older cars for a daily but want more modern flairs - not just euro interior lights, but convert to LED, autofold side mirrors, revisit aftermarket central locking, as well as the bluetooth headset, niceties in the car, and all these little things that wouls make a brand new car owner on a budget feel like a million bucks.
The fact they said big things are coming with the sti-vorg… and then a turbo yoda cameo. That man knows Subaru’s, I’m betting we will be seeing more of him!!
Would definitely recommend engine dog bone insert to remove bit of slack in transmission and reduce wheel spin 👍🏻
Man I love you guys, not only are your videos helpful and informative, but you do it while having a laugh and not taking yourselves to seriously. Been watching your video's since it all started on a driveway and without a doubt you guys just get better n better, I look forward to your next installment.
Just because of the end bit I'm buying merch. I'm so happy that you guys are doing your own thing whilst everyone's doing 1600 whp JZ/LS/supercar builds. I love the fact you like a golf or a brz more than a lotus.
Enjoy every video you put out! Even the missus loves them and that’s a massive achievement.
Love your positive vibes ❤
Love this series. Got a basic A4 1.8 from 2014 and been installing minor bits and pieces, great to see "normal" cars still getting attention on this channel!
Thanks for the end of the video! Sick of this new "era" where showing off your numbers and fancy brands are more important than enjoying your car and have fun with your mates!
Keep up with it!
This content dropping SO right time! I'm considering to buy mk7 performance and I really really liked it at test drive! Love from Finland
That Moog scream while chasing that wheel haha! Super love how the Hond... Volkswagen is sounding, that turbo blow off just so amazing! So happy seeing Turbo Yoda from the backseat, did not even notice him until they talked.
Loving the VW Golf build so far, guys! So so good! Also big shout out for getting me back into my love of cars and doing my own work. I now maintain and modify my Golf R myself. Made sure to rep y'all with my Super Garage hat at my track day, yesterday! :D
Turbo Yoda returns!
Many its been so long since MCM chose some different parts. I'm so happy. Normally its all "durr muh Invidia exhaust" but they went cobb and im so happy ya'll did something different.
awesome stuff guys. Al being in Marty's GTi and saying it's a Honda.
for those that remember, there's a pleasing circularity to this from when Marty had Supergramps worked on by Al, and during the episodes, Moog would ask "will this fit my Honda?"
So, the last time I remember seeing Alan on your channel Moog was saying Honda to everyone every 5 seconds. This seemed like some gentle retaliation. And yes, I just want a simple chocolate milkshake! Great video as usual! Thank you 😊
Love your guy's videos! makes me want to work on cars even more
3:53 I replayed this about 5 times trying to pay attention to what he's saying about the slip joints. Every single time I didn't process what he's saying because I was distracted laughing at IN THE BIN
TURBO YODA!!!
"Dog with an itchy bum" is the best analogy I've ever heard for a FWD car.
Me and my older brother have been watching for like ten years now :) Im still not tired of you guys :)
Seeing Turbo Yoda and talking about next level Levorg build in the same ep… foreshadowing methinks and im all for it
Bought my mk7 gti specifically because of the Golf R series, its awesome to see you guys tackle a gti!
For exhaust hanger removals I've always had some good luck using a pair of channel locks between the backside of the rubber hanger and the flange on the end. When you squeeze it should remove it a good portion of the way.
To everyone in the comments giving the boys a hard time about “boring or repetitive content” have you ever stopped and thought it could be just to fill the gapes between bigger series or build not to mention the current edit for the new feature film.
I’m would rather have some content then non at all. Keep going boys! Love your work!!
Tires really are the best mod, wheels if you have large balloons.
Tyre Reviews did a test with a Mk 7 GTI on 17" vs 18" vs 19" wheels (a couple years ago?) with the same tire model, same inflated diameter, and found the 18" was objectively the best. Less cabin noise than either the 17 or 19, better handling than the 17, more comfort than the 19.
So good to see Turbo Yoda back on the channel.
That Golf looks like a lot of wheelspin...
Been through so much to fully understand why this video is so important. Humbling video for sure.
The unexpected Turbo Yoda appearance after years was s amazing! Good to have him back !!
Golfswagon 😂 great video guys, thanks. Am a total newbie to the world of mods and slightly obsessed with my Golf even though its only a TDI - am very jealous of how that GTI sounds, and I only understood about 50% of what you talked about in the video but that's ok. Will keep watching and learning so I can do more than spray my alloys, and fit a splitter and side skirts. Looking forward to putting a stage 1 on it, but certainly will not be doing that myself! looking forward to seeing who wins out of the GTI and the R 😍
So keen to see Alan hopefully working on gramps v2 with the levorg.
Some channel lock pliers also work decent for exhaust hangers if you don't have a specialty tool. Open them wide and put the bottom tooth on the metal hanger (outside of bushing) & the top on the opposite side of the bushing then squeeze. 🤙
Awesome and just in time. Oh my second MQB GTI. Had an MK7 which I then upgraded to MK7.5. Currently running an EQT Stage 2 93OCT tune (USA) on COBB AP, and EQT is literally the best ECU tune on the market right now. Performance Pack brakes, LSD and extra 10 HP are so damn worth it over a “standard” GTI and really helps to put the power down. I would recommend you guys stick with the stock DV, because the revised design is very robust and I have no issues running it on my stage 2 tune. I had a Forge BOV which sounded cool, but just gave me error codes after a few months and eventually failed. Love the MK7/7.5 and literally bought another one because the MK8 interior touch buttons were a deal breaker during my test drive. Keep it up guys been subscribed since day one !
I can vouch, for I too am running the EQT stage 2 tune great tune, no knock safe on the engine and super linear feels like stock just kicked up quite a few notches 😂
I really hope they will see this comment highly recommend them trying EQT!!!
You can actually modify the original intake for more power as well. Was super easy to do on my mk7 with an oscillating cutting tool.
I was just in Australia from the US this past month. Cheers mates!
Loving all the golf videos, and Martin’s new, albeit, out of the blue passion for golfs!!!! Keep up the awesome content. These videos make me lol….. a lot. Thanks lads 😉
Ahhhhhhhh my jaw dropped when Turbo Yoda showed up! Yessssss! Please start doing projects with your friends again, we miss seeing you and yoda and benny altogether in videos.
When the backseat guest popped up it gave me a proper grin, glad to know things are friendly with them all. Got a bit worried considering we'd not seen him on the channel in a while
Just got my first car and just discover your channel and I love it!
That vibe starting around 15:50 is lovely. That you, Moog? Legend
Good to see Brett from go fast bits till kicking around .
Holy fuck turbo yoda!
I cant wait to see what Al is doing to the grovel, or the 2 door sti.
Yesssss!!! So good to see Alan back on this channel too
Another super quick mod on these is the dogbone mount. Multiple brands of inserts. Goes on in minutes and you legitimately feel the difference.
Great video although when talking daily use i would say from experiance you don't want to go too mad on the exhaust, especially if you do motorway miles as the drone can get pretty exhausting.
You should do a video on how to clean your intake valves on those amazing turbo VW products you both have.
This is great. I have a 7.5 and just started mods. Thx guys
Great stuff, looking forward to what ever Al is over with you for.
Love the outtakes and Turbo Yoda guest appearance :)
Love this series, I have a mk7 gtd in white, it has some aftermarket wheels that fit properly (also 8.5j and all that) gti rear end etc. It's been mapped to around 220bhp and with the dsg goes like shit off a shovel. This is going to be a good inspiration for my future mods. Also so happy to see Al in the video and I hope he's the one building the levorg. 👌👌
Well done boys! My face hurts from the bit with Alan. Good show!
Sounds good considering the engine. Dope! Clean setup!
I love how the airfilterbox makes the engine bay look, does cobb ship to the netherlands, and will it fit? (i've heard they have different stuff on germans overseas)
Just seeing Alan appear like that made me smile :)
It's like when supergramps unexpectedly appear : * Legend has entered the room *
Man this is awesome. Pretty much the same exact mods that I have recently done to my mk7 GTI. I'm hoping you got the dsg unlock from Cobb as well
Great video as usual, even if VDubs aren't really my thing. As a vintage Mac enthusiast I loved seeing the vintage PowerBook 180c!
I've had my beloved Iriz from Proton for eight years now. I've replaced the original factory projector to an aftermarket version which houses the D4S bulb and my night drive satisfaction has increased ten-fold. Anther best thing about my Iriz's headlights is that it has a dedicated low-beam and high-beam, so I now have a total of six supposedly light beams. I'm planning to upgrade my wheels from 15" to 17" but afraid of the car losing it's value. Not to the marketplace, but my eyes because I'm going with a simple OEM look and looking for stock rims from any german brands. But, who knows... I might change my mind and end up doing everything I wanted 'coz the major modifications were those projectors and a new spray paint after seven years.
the Suprima S is very good too....
Does changing the exhaust worth it?
Will it sounds like lawnmower?
Can we talk about the moment where Marty was cutting right at Moog's face with the exhaust? 😆
Moog: Because of you, the exhaust hanger removal tool became known to me, and became my all time favorite tool!
Love the video I’m planning on buying a 2015 gti and am excited to do some of the mods you guys did here. Also very helpful video thanks!
I’m so glad you guys did this on a gti because I plan on getting one and doing some stuff to it
I added a Roush TVS supercharger to me Mustang GT and it's definitely not wrecked. It drives as easily as a stock car, still gets decent mileage and is fast enough to be pretty interesting at the dragstrip without having to cut it for a cage.
TURBO YODA!!!!! I can only think of one reason he's there (aside from hanging with mates, of coursE). I'm stoked to see what he's going to do with the Grovel.
Love the episode boys keep it up big fan of the golf🔥😉
the al cameo was gold
thanks guys- al is the man
Brilliant Honda series, everyone with car knowhow will agree that FWD is the only way to go in terms of motorsport potential.
GOLFSWAGON! I'm convinced Marty is just trolling the channel as people have been commenting for a while about the golf obsession hahaha
Installed a intake last year, and it sounds so good. I was too chicken to mess with the turbo inlet pipe haha.
Wise, wise words guys. I did appreciate the outro and completely agree with you.
Return to form for MCM , great to see Al , possible co-lab with skid fktry?, loved the out take reel at the end. What is Marty’s intentions for the fridge on wheels?
You guys should try to minimise that wheel spin and axel hop by tightening up the drive line. Would recommend BFI engine mounts and inserts
i feel like everyone glosses over interior car modifications so much and I don't understand it, that's literally where you are 99% of the time you own your car. Here is my list (Audi A4) that absolutely was a game changer and worth every penny:
1) Android/Carplay Headunit, works wirelessly so I don't even take my phone out, steering wheel controls work as well. also gave me reverse camera function, most expensive but so worth it
2) Rewrapping my steering wheel with red stitching, not to be confused with a steering wheel cover, this makes your steering wheel look completely brand new and even better
3) Ambient lighting, I used LED strips that went into the interior trim so it looks OEM. its not just the cheap ass footwell lights, it's actually integrated in my interior
4) plush memory foam headrest covers, almost looks like those maybach pillows
5) dashcam mirror screen, this goes over my actual mirror and is hooked up to a camera in the back. the viewing angle is wide enough that actually covers my blindspots
MCM/TSF crossover incoming!! This is gonna be epic!
A flathead and wd-40 works well for the exhaust hangers. Just pry it enough to fit the straw in and spray inside on both sides.
I don't think I will ever be tired of the "In the bin" clip.
Nice video. I have a 2017 MK7 GTI SE DSG and absolutely love her. I must say that I disagree with the order of the mods on the GTI's. The first thing I did to mine was to replace the soft stock rear sway bar and plastic end links with a stiffer 034 bar and metal endlinks. The difference in handling was not subtle. The front end understeer was reduced and overall handling was much tighter with less body roll in the corners, and she's still comfortable on the street. It doesn't make sense to me to add more power without first sorting the suspension and handling. Next mods I did were air intake, turbo inlet pipe & hose and then a lighter set of stylish rims. My GTI is a great daily and I plan to keep on the upgrade mod path as budget allows. Looking forward to the rest of the build series on your GTI. Keep up the excellent work gents. Peace.
Curious what wheels/tires you went with. Size, width, offset, tires. Thanks!
You might need to code out "Starting vibration reduction" to prevent the power being cut to the wheels.
Am I the only one watching that doesn't own a car, and has no idea about modding one at all? 😂 I really wanna learn though..
You're back guys. That's a great issue, or episode, video.. whatever, mint. The milkshake story is a winner.
Used the Moog exhaust hanger removal technique this evening! Who says these guys don't teach you anything 😆👏
5:55 Marty trying to kill Moog
The later DV's are definitely not a problem 😂 the mk5 was nearly 20 years ago 😳
Best car you guys modded! Love the channel
Loved this episode guys. It’s got this Je ne sais quoi vibe 😅
Perfect timing, Thanks for all the hard work guys.
Thanks mate 🎉
