Alex's BIG TURBO 564bhp MK7 Golf R!

Today, my mate Alex from QS Tuning shows me one of his personal cars, a Stage 3 564bhp MK7 Golf R! It's belieed that over £20,000 has been spent modifying the car, and you can certainly tell...it's absolutely mental!

Best sounding Golf R I’ve heard. Too many people make them sound like fart cans, this is spot on!

[@nickTAMR]

Thats what im affraid to do with mine... its hard to get a good sounding catback :/

[@MK6CHRIS]

@@nickTAMR full miltek exhaust I think they said. Just spend the extra money for it. It'll be worth it

[@MrZyLeXx]

For me milltek sounds like shit cause it's sounds too much like a coke can.

[@MK6CHRIS]

@@MrZyLeXx really? Thats disappointing. All the full miltek exhausts I have heard on KZbin have sounded sick. Have you heard any good sounding ones? If so what exhaust are they running?

[@MrZyLeXx]

@@MK6CHRIS To me Remus sounds good on the mqb 2.0 tsi platforms, but i find it hard for these to sound really good. I feel like the older 2.0 Tfsi sounds better but that's just me. Golf R with full milltek turboback resonated sounds alright but idk, im just not into the milltek sound.

[@DSJEYES]

Best sounding golf I’ve heard, proper clean build, hats off to the guy 🎩

[@hampshirephoto]

Monster isn’t it!

[@JacesOwnWorld]

I agree. Just pure sound and revs is the best for this car. No need for pop and bangs...

[@jeffdevries6196]

R32 : am i a joke to you ?

[@TENNESSEETRACKHAWK]

@@hampshirephoto which turbo is he running?

[@tredfxman]

@@hampshirephoto The problem is Golf R's are getting ridicolusly expensive. To the point were a BMW M2 Competition would seem more sensible for the cash... I wonder how expensive the MK9 will turn out. Makes you wonder how much you can charge for a 4 cyl 2 litre really. And thats coming from one who ones one. Yes the new MK8 is extremely tunable. But is everything about speed? How about relability for the money..? 👍

[@CPMUNSEY]

Now this is how you modify a Golf R! Absolute perfection in my eyes.👌🏽 Performance,looks,chassis,suspension, wheel fitmemt all on point.🔥🔥👊🏼

[@whatta7793]

Literally the perfectly built Golf R.. everything is done right, from the aesthetics to the performance. Black on black is my favorite, so that's a golden check mark, and 564hp out of a little 4 banger? That's obviously a golden check mark as well. Literally PERFECT. Well done mate.

[@MotocrossRider155]

Best part is that all internals are stock.. badass!!!!

[@nigel8484]

Luke just buy another Golf R mate, you're seriously missing yours

[@redpowerranger123]

Honestly a dream build. Absolutely gorgeous. Simple clean. Yet a absolute beast.

[@MrDarrenNice]

That looks insanely fast. What a build 😎😍 Love the fact it isn't too noisy as well. Perfect 👌🏻

[@airstuffhd3832]

Honestly, one of the best golf I’ve ever saw! Such a clean build and a really nice spec!

[@doomldn718]

My favourite video from you ! The flybys, synergy on camera and the car is amazing !

[@1cb877]

Has to be one of the best looking 7Rs out there

[@whatatimetobealive7436]

This Golf R is inspiring! A must have daily driver.

[@LankyTV_]

I absolutely love this Golf R. This is probably one of the nicest, if not the nicest I've seen. It is SO clean.

[@Beardchanics]

Really nice, with those you know you're done when you can take the engine cover off and it actually looks good. Just missing the kick ass manifold to replace the plastic one :) Gorgeous in black like that and love those wheels

[@MrAudi220]

I really love this build, and for a resonated exhaust it still sounds plenty enough due to that big turbo,also love that it has no pops and bangs, those can be really irritating sometimes. Love the 2 doors, thats just me, i'm a 2 door guy through and through, and i love the fact that people think owning a car for 4 years is long.😂i own my pq35 a3 8p since 2010, thats 11 years and i am still not bored of that car, a project car is a soul connection, it's like a proper relationship you build upon it, maybe it's me turning 35 this year but thats how i see things, love to own a mark 7.5R 1 day manual 2doors but i will keep my sleeper a3 as long as i can, the car is almost 16 years old by now so thats classic car. Anyways love this build, loved the video.👍✌️👉

[@scottcampbell10]

Those superturismo's are absolutely perfect

[@marksn4020]

Love the fact that it looks like a car that can be used as a daily not garish with unnecessary mods

[@RenoveAutoService]

Perfect tune on a perfect car!!!

[@ssaafur]

Sigh. I just sold a 2011 GTi manual completely done. Stage 3. 293k miles on it with a stock block. Needed paint due to Highway rock chips. Drove it 3000 miles a month easy. Got an X5M but I’m having withdrawal after watching this. Gorgeous car.

[@jmccann6735]

Goddamn what a journey, hats off to a fantastic GTI ownership, hope you get yo have another great Golf experience 😁

[@samroberts4562]

293k miles 😂

[@ssaafur]

@@samroberts4562 yeah man. I would have kept it but it needed a full paint job. Front end paint was essentially sandblasted off from road debris. Wheel bearings were going. That would have been $5-6k of work in a car worth less than $4k. It was time. She’s still going though. A guy bought it who has funds. Might drop a new motor it it and track it.

[@MaikDreijer]

Props for not making it obnoxious, most golfs sound like the exhaust is coming off but this thing is cleaaaaaan!

[@ct4928]

What i love most is this guy, he knows the car perfectly so ... Respect my friend

[@BOOSTEDDUDE]

Amazingly super clean R! Can't believe how nice the stock paint looks on this one! This one doesn't look Black for some reason.

[@OllieBeanz421]

I work on volkswagens every day and I must say I'm pretty impressed the stock intake manifold can hold up under that pressure.

[@EthanL21800]

Makes me feel better about going stage 2 with mine lol didn’t think the plastic would hold up

[@Bawla187]

Question, have you seen many mk7 GTI's suffers crank walk?

[@Chevsilverado]

@@Bawla187 I believe that the only cars that have that issue are manuals. And of all the manual MK7s out there only a small amount of them end up developing crankwalk, especially the out of the new ones. I’ve heard from many people that some upgraded clutches can cause crankwalk, but some upgraded clutches help crankwalk. In the end I wouldn’t worry about it too much especially if you don’t own a manual. If you do have a manual and are going to upgrade your clutch make sure you do some research on specific brands and if they’re prone to making the crankwalk issue worse.

[@HELIXGHOST]

Very clean well done .

[@HardwayLearning]

Damn that thing shifts quick, I thought my UM tuned GTI was quick, but this is something else!

2 Years later, still the best sounding MK7 Golf R

[@HexlGaming]

Oh I thought he worked for QSTuning, but from the ending of the video it sounds like it's his company and they build these kinds of cars. That's amazing

[@JacesOwnWorld]

Correction on when he described the car having lag with a big turbo. The answer is YES. There is significantly more lag with a big turbo. BUT the reason why you’re not feeling lag in this drive is because he is mashing the peddle everywhere he is going, revving the engine out, which is allowing him stay in boost. If he wasn’t driving like that, and just driving normally in everyday road conditions, there is definitely lag down low. Now yes, you can just keep the revs high to stay out of lag, but if you want to save fuel, you will need to stay low in the rpm’s, and stay out of boost, and in doing so, there is a lot of lag.

[@TENNESSEETRACKHAWK]

Great response. Yes, it doesn't look like any lag in the video but ur right he's on it the whole time so of course the RPM's are up to spool it.

[@phantom2k10]

a man said the only thing that's lagging is my interpretation of what just happened loool.

You should get a golf r again, such a good platform
