do you have a tune?
APR Stage 2+
Ratchet Wrenches what bhp bro?
@@RatchetWrenches like the other guy says, stage 2+, what exact numbers do you get? how much gain? 2 and 2+ i wana say ive heard 50-80hp at least over stock.
@@RatchetWrenches
What BHP you running fella? I'm interested to no between stage 2 and 2 plus on what extra some cars can gain going to 2 plus, I'm stage 2 with Rtech in the UK running 290bhp 345ft/lb??
@@DjStiv3 ed30 is 340 - 380ps
Personally I'd never get rid of the monzas.. most recognizable and unique (to any model) rims out there
Couldn't agree more just bought a gti sadly it's missing the monza's
Been thinking about putting a BOV on my MKV for that sounds. Found diverter valve spacers do the same thing (basically) and you don't lose HP. The spacer still allows the diverter to maintain manifold pressure reducing spool time while also giving you that sweet sweet Pshew! Sound we all love.
Yeah that’s what I have it’s technically called a “atmospheric blow off valve” it’s a spacer for the diverter valve like you said! Mines a forge motorsports one. Here’s the link if you want to check it out. amzn.to/3o7YOu4
Austin, great job. Suggestion, with all due respect:
If you are promoting a mod for a functional aspect of the car please learn what it does, how it does it and why. If not the only reason to do it is because you said so or you like spending money just for the bling of it.
I will spend the coin but I gotta have a good reason. And you get that knowing the details, science and tech will get you bigger pay checks, make you hotter for the girls and is why we subscribe to you. Don’t short it, shrug and move on. Great videos happen when you loose the “I’m not sure why jive”.
1-Cool air intake
What-This mod provides the coolest air available for the engine
Why-Engine gets much more HP with cold air versus hot
How-The turbo pushes compressed air into the cyl. Eng saves HP b/c it is not required to use some to suck the air in. The more air(compresses now) means more O2(oxygen) which is required to make the fuel go bang, more O2 higher the pressure better go fast.
Hot air has very energetic molecules. Less room for O2, less pressure generated less HP. Cold air has much more useable volume so more O2, better bang, efficient. Dry air even better, water takes up valuable O2 volume, more O2 in the mix ratio, higher pressures more HP. Extra horsies all over this mod.
This example may be what you want to shoot for. Plenty of places to add your styling. Less is more. We are here for the 411 not the chatter/banter, like most other tubers do.
With this in mind pick a system on the car *see video topic list below* and with this treatment and good word economy the Likes, Subs and Girls will appear out of no where.
Any questions you have about the science in the tech, or other do not hesitate to email me - djlock at gmail, text or call

what exhaust did he say he just said cat back :(
@@atmostjrdn any cat back exhaust system will make a huge difference
@@atmostjrdn we had an AWE catback on it but any exhaust will do the trick
@@RatchetWrenchescan you put a list of where you bought the exhaust system and the coils please bro ❤
Watched your video about a year Ago and fell in love with this car and I’m proud to say I’ve had my mk5 2007 (silver) GTI for 3 months now and I can’t wait to put a cold air intake on it this weekend😈
Awesome! I’m glad you love your gti! The cold air intake will wake up the turbo ! Best of luck with it
Perfect list
StreetModz Joel Bowen thanks!
You should totally make your bumper the same color as the rest of the car, it literally makes the car look so much better :), overall very nice car tho
Nephrosis Yeah I’ve always wanted to do it I just never got around to it:/ plus I’m actually selling the car and getting an Audi S3 so unfortunately I won’t be painting it haha but appreciate that! Make sure to subscribe for more content!
Hello, fellow 08 MK5 owner here. That's a mighty fine ride you have there, sir. Unfortunately I have a DSG, so it's pointless installing a BOV in my car. I love the sound though.
Thank you! And it’s not truly pointless. Mine is DSG as well. The blow off valve is operated off the pressure from the turbo. Not the shift points. Even tho it makes the noises when the car shifts because the boost pressure is different
Not quite rite a true bov is actuated by the vacum made inside the manifold when you come off throttle and lets the built up pressure out. A pop off valve is when the boost gets too high and it lets some out before getting to engine none are actuated by the turbo itself just fyi
Love the sound and nice wheels beautiful car . Mine has just gone in to have the rear bumper r32 look for the gti one hole ..colour coded. Here in uk ....
Thank you so much! And that probably looks so good, I always wanted to get an r32 rear or atleast color match my lower bumper! Appreciate the support and comment, make sure to subscribe for more ✌️
Appreciate the vids, MK5 owner myself and also from Jerz! can you please tell me how we passing emissions tho?? Im tired of switching back my stock exhaust and downpipe every 2 years! smh.
Glad we can bring some dope content for you! You going to waterfest? And hahah I actually go to my dads buddy that runs a gas station with a shop who does inspection and I just pay him to pass me 😂😂
Got all of those mods.. my GTI sounds just like yours
That’s awesome!
what catback ? he didnt say brand
@@atmostjrdn stock exhaust just straight pipe it that's all
The car looks clean AF! I love the white
Thanks!
How much of a drop do you have on your coil overs man? And are you running spacers on the +35 offset wheel or no none ?
Getting an s3 front brake setup should be the first thing to do
I have a 2006 mk5 GTI that I bought new. I have kept it nearly stock. It is a very pleasant car to travel in so I stay away from modifications that make the car noisier. I got APR stage 1 years ago and its makes the car fast, but I quit using it because I would rather the car be less jumpy than go faster when floored. The two modifications I would recommend for mk5 GTI owners is to upgrade the stereo to one with bluetooth, usb input, and android auto/apple carplay if desired, and an extra set of wheels and snow tires if you live in a snowy environment.
They never fix any potholes here in Jersey.
springs don't cause the bouncy ride, it's the lack of shock rebounding control
Nice vid, i have the same Candy White on my gti too)) since i saw you had a stage 2, will you be getting a big brake kit? that's what i think i wanna do as my 2nd mod after the short throw shifter.
Love the candy white! And honestly I never thought about doing a big brake kit. Ik ppl do them but I’m selling the car soon so I prob won’t end up doing that. And yah the short throw makes a huge difference!
Cooler ijectors fuel pump exhaust tune lowering done.
What's the measurements of the rims? Nice video man!
Thank you! And they’re 18x8.5 with an offset of 45
I know you did the head liner. Can you do a tutorial for that please? Just bought a mkv and in much need of fixing it. Thank you!
Unfortunately I sold the car but it’s quite simple. There’s a bunch of write ups on Google and stuff
By any chance have you consider led tail lights on a mk5?
I haven't seen one or a video.
Can you review one, with your recommendations?
I was thinking about getting them but I held off. They’re good I’ve seen some in person and theyre super bright. If I can get my hands on them I’ll do a video
Make sure to get CAN-BUS led taillights, other wise the system will think they are dead when you turn on the headlights and turn off automatically after 6 seconds. Ask me how I know lol
@@danieldyman7196 Or just code out the cold diagnostic for that light, I had to do that when I installed my euro led lights in my mk5 gli.
The exhaust where do i get it and what engine do you have in that gti?
I have a 3in USP motorsports Downpipe with an AWE Tuning catback and I have the 2.0FSI engine
wots a safe nice looking lowering mm, my mercedes 190e was dropped 20mm and scraped, on 16 inch rims
I would have been highly disappointed with that BOV purchase tbh I know I’m late af lol but I recommend spending a lot more on one the sound is so much crisper
I feel you I mean everyone has their own preference I’m sound. I prefer a atmospheric dump sound tbh
I love the car and the song at the beginning
Thank you! And thank you!
I just got mk5 gti and I want to know where I can get this exhaust because the link does not work. And I would apprciate if you can tell where to get cheaper exhausts. Love your videos man!!
Thanks for the comment! So sorry about the link. Here’s another link www.urotuning.com/products/awe-tuning-mk5-gti-cat-back-exhaust-3015-32038?variant=12957666902071&Google%20Shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQiA0MD_BRCTARIsADXoopYLWYPkaj6vZNclr83kX3ptNDS-fr-CJmAazP2ymJIoh6ttoahmZiQaAvfeEALw_wcB unfortunately there’s not really any cheap exhausts out for our cars being it’s German haha!
@@RatchetWrenches So every exhaust what got cat is kinda expensive? And of course I dont want to buy catless because its illegal in my country. If I want just louder sound, is it ok to just remove resonator/muffler?
Jersey and GTI gang
I’m getting a 2007 GTI as a project car. I’m 15 and can’t wait to work on it and do some upgrades
That’s awesome you’re gonna love it! Definitely check out all our other videos we do a lot of stuff regarding this car!
how are you going to get insured 😮
Dsg in my opinion so much better and I just switched from a manual 03 Mustang gt and I can say this is much better for daily driving , love my mk5
Yes a GTI is gonna be a better and more reliable daily driver. Mustangs are still fun to mess around with
Nice rice. Are u still using 17” wheels or 18”???
18s
so which motor is in these mk5 gti's? i know a 1.8t and a 2.0t. but is this 2.0 the ae888? i'm trying to get the correct solid shifter linkage end bushings for the i'm getting like 4-5 different options. i know it's the rectangler shaped one.
alexander hernandez theres two types FSI and TSI engine
Do you know the cause of car shaking when the engine is cold? More exactly, when I start the car in the morning. It shakes quite strong for one or two minutes, and after the engine is warmed up, it stops shaking. Thanks and cheers!
It’s truly hard to say without looking at the car but have you checked the motor mounts?
I think I should have write this comment to your other video, where you clean the carbon buildup on valves. I thought that's the reason of shaking, or maybe some misfire pistons
I mean that’s definitely a symptom for sure of a carbon buildup. It’ll be s rough startup/idle until warmed up. I bet you it’s carbon buildup for sure
@@RatchetWrenches Thanks, I will go to the service to clean it up someday. Now I have another problem I think. There are some small leaks under the right side of the engine, I suppose is the HPFP. I made a video but you can't say what exactly the liquid is because couldn't fit my phone to record closer. Here it is: czcams.com/video/p9NvCTYBqIs/video.html
What do you think?
Thanks and Cheers.
I personally have a mk5 got Pirelli edition! I love my mk5
They are fun cars!
fire vid
Appreciate that!
@@RatchetWrenches Learned a few things today as a Newbie. Thanks man
I’m planning on making my gti mk5 more louder, but I’m very inexperienced when it comes to mods. Any suggestions? I’m also thinking of changing the tail lights with led lights, do you have any opinions on that?
Xavier Velasquez is you’re looking for just noise invest in a catback, if you’re looking for power and noise get a catback and a downpipe. But are you thinking replacing the tail light bulbs to LEDs or the whole tail light assembly
Ratchet Wrenches sorry for the late reply, but I’m thinking of changing the whole taillight and get new ones. Maybe the European ones. By any chance do you have the link to your exhaust? Or did you get it from ECS tunning? Also, have you had an problems with the sunroof when you had the mk5?
i run resonator delete on my mk5 and i totally dig the sound.
Have intake and downpipe and stage 2 ecu program running a straight pipe exhaust. It's a little loud but dude it sounds like a fucking rally car when you get on it. And needless to say for a 1.98cc turbo it backs it up
A induction kit don't give you cold air feed, your engine gets hot because not closed off like a oe box it gets hotter. Hotter air equals less power.
A induction kit will however give better throttle response
No it forces more airflow (cooler air) directly into the turbo since on this setup it. It’s connected right to the turbo which creates a quicker yet more efficient spool and increase hp along with throttle response. Now for the heat it does have the bracket which helps funnel the air outside directly into the filter but yes it’s not as cold as it would be with the OE box
@@RatchetWrenches no your MAF stops that. The only way to stop it limiting the air is doing a MAF delete. But this will put the ECU in factory default settings. Some ECUs won't even let you map it out.... A OE box is there for a reason to be more efficient, if was more efficient for a comb filter wouldn't you think they would do it. Would work out cheaper. Car throttle, mighty car mods and Scotty even says this.
Don't get me wrong I would prefer a comb filter even with the decrease in hp.
Only in some cases with a MAF delete and it mapped out with a good cold air flow can increase hp and torque but hardly anything even with it. I'll say max 10hp nothing what these boxes say 15% - 25%.
I know create maps for cars on a hub Dyno. Nothing to what people say.
Engineering r&d went into induction do not put a pod that is not completely isolated from engine bay.
What
@@RatchetWrenches So tons of RESEARCH&DEVELOPMENT WENT INTO THIS AIRBOX PARAMETERS SO VAST IN SCOPE.ALL IM SAYING IS OFTEN THE OUTCOME OF A POD TYPE FILTER SLAPPED IN A HOT ENGINE BAY DOES WORSE 4 INTAKE TEMP.ANY GAIN IS ONLY IN A INDUCTION NOTE.HOWEVER WELL PLACED COMPLETELY SEALED FROM ENGINE BAY COLD AIR INDUCTION CAN BENEFIT SOME HIGH HP APPLICATIONS.
At what point should I look at tuning it? I'm planning on doing a cold air and an exhaust first.
Once you get a downpipe and an intake get the tune. You’ll be able to go stage 2 right off the bat and you’re car will wake up big time!
@@RatchetWrenches I have a magnaflow catback and took out the muffler it came with for more sound but I’m planning on getting a downpipe as well does stage one make pops louder my main goal is pops and sounds
What offset are your rims and once you did the coil overs with the offset aftermarket rims it pushed them out flush ?
My rim setup was 18x8.5 with a +35 offset. With the coilovers it says pretty flush yeah
@@RatchetWrenches think you could clear 19x8.5 +35 with those coil overs on as well ? And which coil overs did you have exactly?
I want to do something similar but also daily it in the winter lol also thank you for answering my message so fast!
Would this work for the Volkswagen rabbit. I have one from 2007z
Most of them would work yes. But being non turbo’d it might not allow for certain parts
Name of wheels??
That red roof, how? Love it, would like to do the same with mine
Thanks! And I did it myself I bought some headliner material and put it in because of the notorious mkv headliner sag
@@RatchetWrenches looks good
Kirk Dyer thank you
Hey man, what’s your wheel setup and what are the sizes?
Hey I have f21 F1R rims. They’re 18x8.5 and my tire setup is 240/45/R18 on falken’s
Ratchet Wrenches Wow thanks for the quick answer man, did you roll the fenders? Or did you not experience any rubbing.
No problem and honestly I suggest rolling the fenders I didn’t and I rubbed so I did it kinda ratchet and rolled them myself with a 2x4 lol
did you buy or make that sort of custom enclosure beneath the air intake? thats interesting. I wonder if you get the same or better results, but obviously its sweet because theres no way for water or liquid to splash upwards from beneath.
An air intake thats all crap, be happy if you got 1-5hp extra. Imean really, dyno a car with and without one, small chance you could see a decent result imo on nice high power cars but an average daily or something with less power,, nope, im not sure what it would do with a gti but to be fair we can say 5hp, its not that great of a mod, sometimes its better to just put a reusable k&n same as factory and be done with it.
That enclosure actually came With the intake. I bet there’s prob some results that come with it since you’re guiding air into rather than getting the hot air from the engine. And yeah I agree I mean I doubt you’ll get good power from an intake. I did it because I wanted the turbo to breath better and also the sound is so cool
@@RatchetWrenches hm cool, how much was it and where did you buy?
DjStiv3 it was around $300 and I bought it off ecstuning.com
did the BOV or any of the mods cause a check engine man??
Kristian Robles Nope!
yes downpipe if you don't have a tune check engine light will come on for O2 sensor
RATCHET WRENCHES..wen you up to speed but nothing silly,do you ever here there gear change wen your about to stop? Only ever so often i mean,but if driving slow and come to a stop then you’ll not here nothing? Thank you
Yeah if it’s the dsg it’s the sound going to 1st gear. Usually it doesn’t go into first coming to a stop but sometimes it does and that’s what you’re gonna hear
Living in jersey is a struggle brotha
You got that right man hahah
I just bought a 2007 gti but I’m kind of mad that I can’t get an access port
Ahh yeah Cobb isn’t compatible with this generation. But a flash is just as good
Just bought my first mk5 gti I’m not famously at all with tuning these euro cars , I came from a 2016 focus st and it was easy to tune the car, anyone know if I have to get a Cobb accessport ? Or what do I buy to get flash tunes of the shelf ? I’m confused
So unfortunately the mkv generation isn’t accessible with cobb. The only way to tune these cars is straight to the ecu either from a shop that is an APR dealer or other tuner companies. Or you can send out your ecu to the tuner company and they’ll bench tune it and mail it back to you. Apr is usually the go to tuner for these cars or unitronic
@@RatchetWrenches thanks man I saw that apr has tunes, so do they send you an ecu that is programable ? And it’s plug play swap ?
@@jmeloarts6480 you can either go to an apr authorized dealer which is pretty common with VW shops and tuner shops. Or you have to remove the ecu from your car send it to them and they’ll tune it and send it baxk
@@RatchetWrenches got it
I will buy a golf mk5 gti too in 2 years but
I wand it powerful and good looking because I will spend more money to get the performance better
Definitely tune it. I’m stage 2 and it moves. But if you want significant gains you’d have to go stage 3 (turbo kit)
@@RatchetWrenches I will have to change the engine or something like that? Or I will just get it better
Name of so song?
What about anti lag ? :)
Lukáš Karpíšek that would go along with a tune which is essential but I didn’t mention it because that’s like the 6th mod. Definitely a must tho
can you give a link for the blow off valve you used
amzn.to/34ubOAa exact one I have!
Ratchet Wrenches it says thats only for audis, do you have any other link ?
Chris Vera yeah it’s the same setup as the AUDI. Trust me I legit bought that exact one. The Audi TT 2.0 is the exact same engine as the gti. If you ever look on your engine and you find the manufacturer stamp it is legit an Audi logo.
Ratchet Wrenches interesting, was installation hard ?
Chris Vera yeah man and no it was pretty easy tbh. It’s legit a bolt on. Lift the car up and under the passenger side you’ll see the turbo with the bypass valve and this BOV will go in between the turbo and bypass. Super easy tool about 30 mins
What’s The name of your exhaust the link won’t work
Ahh man I’ll have to try and find a new link. My Downpipe is a USP Motorsport 3 inch high flow catted. And my catback is a AWE Tuning catback
Ayyy
What rims are they?
F1R f21
how did you do the headliner
I took the headliner out, pulled off the old fabric then scrapped all the glue off, sprayed down new glue and put the new fabric down. Put the headliner back in the car. Got my headliner material from a local fabric store
Question are gti se’s automatic
They come in both auto and manual
Where in Jersey you from? I'm up north in Morris county
Somerset County
What lug pattern is it
5x112
Where did you get ur exhaust for 450???
The downpipe was 450 and I got that from uspmotorsports
Bought my GTI with h & r coilover's
How do they feel?
@@RatchetWrenches sorry dude I went to sleep before I got this but yeah they feel amazing bro I mean the first time I drove her home I thought he did something super special to the suspension it was just the H&R coilovers yeah they are good way to go bro and I followed you on Instagram to further check your build
HYFR!
I have an 2007 eos 2.0t, thinking about modding it 😭
You should. That 2.0 is so fun to mod
@@RatchetWrenches yeah I’ve been watching your videos all day broo, might get a intake first
@@YawnDaOG we appreciate that! Make sure to check us out on Instagram if you want for sneak peaks and stuff. But yeah a intake for sure! Best way to start
💪🏻🔝💪🏻
clean vid haha , basically hard flex
Thank you! And hahha it wasn’t intended to be a flex!
What’s your rims called along with specs
F1R F21 18x8.5 +35 offset
@@RatchetWrenches thank you, just got my mk5 and in need of mods
Sick ride! Only thing i'd change is to either tint the tail lights, or add tinted LED tail lights like these: czcams.com/video/hkL67opl-Ps/video.html
I really don't like the 'stock' tail lights of the Mk5.
Thanks! And yeah I always wanted to do the veleo rear led euro converted ones but I’ve spent too much on this car lol it’s time for a new one 😬😂
KO4 is the first thing you do
If you’re trying to enjoy the car/daily it I’d start with these mods. If you’re looking to rip this car I agree with you K04 would be sick
Carbon build up monster
The only bad thing about a direct injection engine 😬
How did you replace headliner??
Removed it out the rear of the hatch and scrapped the old one off. Placed the new one on. Unfortunately I don’t have a video of it but it’s quite simple just gotta remove all the trim and squeeze it out the rear
@@RatchetWrenches mine is so saggy, I glued it but man, I'd love to replace it. Yours looks clean!
@@mikesbigpimping it’s notorious for sagging on this generation unfortunately but yeah there’s actually some good forums and information if you google it that will help drastically. But I appreciate that!
Never will agree with you on the DSGs. otherwise love this content.
Fair enough but thank you for stopping by!
Wheels*
I prefer the engine cover on my car, the engines are ugly to look at, i have 18 Detroit vw wheels and lowered some, i don't like the exhaust it sounds like a boat or tractor
Is the headliner stock or you did it?
The headliner I replaced myself because of the notorious mkv sagging headliner
Looks awesome. I have 2006 MK5 and I'm having the same issue. Also my door cards are coming apart as well. Any recommendations on where I can pick up the stuff.
Antonio ! Thanks man and yeah it’s a design flaw for sure. But honestly I just went to a local fabric store and got headliner material, and for the glue I went to Autozone and got the 3M headliner spray which works very well
Sweet. Thanks. I just watch the video where you did the transmission fluid change I have 121,000 miles on my car. Is it safe to do a change? BTW thanks for responding. Appreciate it. Not many people have videos up about these cars.
Antonio ! Yeah you should really do the change every 40k. It’s definitely safe to do. It’ll help shift smoother too. And yeah no problem! Make sure to subscribe for more
You know any tuners un Jersey?
Ik a bunch of flash tuners but nothing like dyno tuners and custom tuners
Personally going to have to disagree right off the bat with the cold air intake making the engine bay "cleaner" its a fucking bombsite of an engine without the original cover. Plus you dont actually make much of a gain from a cold air intake on a car thats been optimized from the factory already.
Hate that dam air box 🤬😡😡😡
My particular one? Or like the way it is setup from vw
One from factory
I plan on getting a intake like yours
Gotcha yeah I hate it as well! And yeah I definitely suggest it
Automatic
The JoeyWalter doesn’t mean anything man.
First thing.. get a manual
Nah DSG trans is built better & stronger than the manual. Plus it’s way faster than manual. And it’s my daily fuck driving manual in traffic 😬
It's wheels.. not rims!
Yeah yeah
Step 1 sell your gti step 4-5 Buy a golf R

Hey man I finally mounted my new air intake and it's pretty nice. Got rid of that ugly engine cover. Have a look: czcams.com/video/nr_LE733iaE/video.html :)
Looks so much better! Great video too
Automatic!!?? 🤦🏽♂️ CMON BRUH
What’s wrong with an automatic for a daily? Also if you’re a VW guy you know the DSG trans is built stronger and better then the manual gearbox. Never understood why ppl hate on a automatic GTI when it’ll out shift any manual GTI. It’s one of the best daily drivers to have automatic in my opinion. I’ve had manual cars and yet we still have manual cars on the channel but commuting in that shit ain’t fun
The exhaust sound horrible especially in automatic 🤦🏻♂️
Shut up civic boy
kinda want to look at the car and not you. no offense
Then check out our other videos where I’m not in it and it’s more cinematic shots
Nice automatic smh waste
Boo 👎 Automatic! 😂
DSG is superior and you can't deny that! But yeah driving a manual GTI is more fun IMO!
