The newest Volkswagen GTI, the MK7, comes with 220 HP from the factory. But what if you swap out the turbo for the Golf R's IS38 version, then add the supporting modifications like intake, exhaust, intercooler, catless downpipe, and Stage 3 ECU and Transmission Tunes? Wheelspin. Lots of Wheelspin. Good fun on the track! Fortunately, the Revo 6-piston, 380 MM front brakes get things hauled down quick!

That IS38 swap would def do 160+mph. I’ve hit 155 on my Stage 2 MK7 GTI 6spd manual, and that was with a full suspension mountain bike attached to my roof racks on top. I would’ve been able to do 160+ easily without my bike on top. The MK7 GTI is a beast with a tune, and especially with the IS38!!

Personally, I think 400 hp in a FWD car is completely pointless, because without serious aero, you'll never get all of that power down except in a straight line... so it's essentially pointless unless you're drag racing. That extra 180 hp is pretty much useless in the turns.

Back when I frequented the MKIV forum on VWVortex, a 400hp GTI (1.8T) had to have a "built" engine and was a really intensive build. To be able to get that with a larger turbo and tune (amongst a few other boltons) is pretty crazy to me.

That's the track we would go to when I was a child. We would camp out at that right corner after the straight at the pits. I witnessed a mustang rolling and watched the Vws rabbits hitting that right corner on 3 wheels, that fourth rear passenger wheel would lock up and be 2 feet in the air. I was a kid where I would ride my bmx bike around the entire track after races with no hands for fun. Great car and thanks for the memories.

Having owned a non performance pack equipped MK7 and currently owning a performance pack equipped MK7, the LSD itself is so worth it and you also get golf r brakes along with more power and a thicker rear sway bar on DCC equipped models. There’s a reason why the performance pack is standard on the SE and Autobahn trims on 2016+ models, DCC is fantastic as well. I threw a tune and some other stuff on my DCC equipped 2016 Autobahn and it feels how it should’ve came from the factory. Fun and practicality is possible.

If it were me, I'd go brakes before LSD... but given I was just whining about this exact issue in my TDI Saturday while jamming around some local hairpins.... argh...... the solo patch on throttle mash is pretty lame sauce.

Got a Revo Stage 1 on my PP GTI, with 300-320 bhp. Even with an LSD, you still have to be patient picking up the throttle. Going wide open in 2nd gear with the traction off will result in fairly wild torque steer (on stock rubber). With another 100 bhp on top of that, it's getting just a bit silly. I've been considering stage 2 and 3 options but this video just confirms I'd be better off with a Golf R or Audi S1.

I drive 90% in the city with heavy traffic... I love manual but where i live there is a lot of uphill. When you stop on the middle of the uphill with heavy traffic it sucks... Only that time i have complain of driving manual sometimes but still is so much easier DSG.

@@WalshyRT IS38 is a Golf R turbo. The R's EA888 Gen 3 engine has a few other small tweeks from factory other than the larger IS38. But the reason why a Stage 2 R looses to a same turbo GTI counterpart is because the R is heavier and has drivetrain loss with it's AWD. This isn't to say the R sucks either. I love the R and I even tried buying one before getting my MK7 GTI. An APR EFR Stage 3+ R vs EFR 3+ GTI. R would win as the GTI would struggle with the 500whp. But these are builds that are few and far in between. IS38 GTI builds are the ultimate daily that you can take to the track and break some hearts and bruise some egos with.

FYI that GTI if it didn't have the performance pack came with 210hp not 220hp. Like it makes much difference. lol.

An LSD would probably go a long way in this thing. You would think that they would chose a platform with one to start with. Matt doesn't seem to put all that much emphasis on it. Maybe I'm wrong in that I think it needs it in a big way.

XDS plus on standard car(advanced cross diff that uses the brakes) vs. pp that utilizes a Borg Warner electrically controlled helical torsen diff that also provides torque vectoring. KZbin it, very cool tech!

I can't believe REVO did that to a non PP (non LSD) GTI. That should rule them out as a tuning option right there. GOAPR.

Kind of defeats the purpose of the GTI (especially in non-Performance Pack spec). You even said it - the refined nature of the car is gone. Precisely why I'm more than happy with my GTI as stock with Pilot Super Sports and that's it.

Subjective Having driven several IS38 MKVII's. Both non PP and PP variants. They are MORE than capable of being a solid and refined experience. Makes me excited to take my Stage 2 MKVII to IS38. I have a WMI kit on my MKV that I'll be swapping over to it as well. Nothing wrong with keeping it stock. Still a fun and well natured chassis. But tuned, these become absolute monsters. And with any car. Seat time is what matters most. The more you drive and learn your car and it's limits. You can turn the most uncivilized chassis into a well understood and predictable machine.

You'd think it would do much much more than 150mph, a normal GTI PP does 155mph with 230Hp. But why no LSD, Lightning package, wider radials? Also there is no need for that heavy glass on the roof breaking your low center of gravity.
