This is honestly pretty cool to see. Personally, I’d spend the extra $20k on the TTRS, with one extra cylinder. It gets to 650 crank with tuning alone, bringing its 0-60 down to under 3 seconds with only tuning. It just takes too much work to get the R to where this one is honestly. You’d be spending just as much money modifying an R to this kind of spec as you would for doing the same with a TTRS. It just has more potential. It’s important to invest and look at your options. I’m not saying buying the golf R was a bad decision, no it’s a great car by all means, but the 5 cylinder just has way more potential for power, and has a better gearbox, stronger front and rear end, and the in-line 5 is much smoother than the 4. Very sweet build
@drivenbyboost4 жыл бұрын
Very valid point. I was able to pick up my R used for a very good price and with all the mods I am still under the price of a lightly used rs3/ttrs. I was messing around with a buddy who had a FBO stage 2 rs3 and we were neck and neck with incredibly similar performance. Overall the rs3/ttrs sounds better, makes more power when tuned, and the dq500 is way better than the dq250/381 trans and will be a steal when the market catches up on the used ones. The US does not offer hatchbacks and therefore the golf r is the choice for a performance oriented hatch. If that’s not a concern then by all means the rs3/ttrs is the choice to be. Either way they both are incredible machines and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers! PS.. I’ll take the 5cyl DAZA sounds over the 4cyl ea888 any day haha it sounds amazing!
@noblevengeance3124 жыл бұрын
Driven by Boost hey! Thanks for the reply I really appreciate it. I do know there is no hatch in America, but I met a guy at a meet who 5 cylinder swapped his golf R after he blew up the engine on 40psi LOL. It’s practically an RS3 hatch with the haldex diffs and everything. So if you blow up your motor (I hope you don’t though), just know that a 07K swap is possible with the R! But then again, that’s even more money lmao. Bartek Tuning sells a 1,000hp fully built motor for €17,000, which is about $20,000 American money. They have quite a few in stock, so if you ever need a mostly built in-line 5, go check out bartek. Never know when you might need that motor. I always have backup motors in case I blow mine up in the future

It’s not 529WHP It’s 529BHP at the flywheel, 529WHP would see sub 10 1/4 mile

Not necessarily..hp alone doesn’t determine or guarantee any particular 1/4 mile times.

This car is no where near 600. Saw him at the 1/4 and it was doing 11.7 when I seen it . Maybe he did 11.2 like he claims but no where near 600. Friends golf r with 550 was doing 11.0 and best time 10.9 with no seats.

Whats that clunk noise when you drive? Sounds like something is not right with the suspension
@drivenbyboost5 жыл бұрын
Occasionally the drivers side front mount makes a slight clunk sound over stiff bumps. It’s a known issue with the MSS springs , most likely going to change them out come next season.

How'd he get the Mk7.5 tail lights to fit on a Mk7? Do they fit like OEM? I can imagine getting the wiring and coding to work must've been a nightmare.
@drivenbyboost4 жыл бұрын
Jack Curtis plug n play replicas, they’re not the oem 7.5s but the 7.5 reps. Wiring wasn’t too bad although still figuring out the coding for the dynamic turn signals
@jackcurtis34374 жыл бұрын
@@drivenbyboost Okay, my Mk6 R has the euro style tail lights from SuperNova Lighting and they came with a CANBUS decoder so it was literally just plug and play, no worrying about coding and the Dynamic turn signals look amazing! Give their website a look if you're interested in other lighting pieces!

Whats better to modify up to stage 3+... The manual transmission or the DSG semi auto double clutch. Like if both were say 500+ BHP what would be faster and would it be noticeable?
@drivenbyboost4 жыл бұрын
Cammy_flage honestly If your planing on going big turbo I’d go dsg all day. Handles the power better and puts it down better. Plus launch control on dsg is stupid fun!!
@cammy_flage73004 жыл бұрын
Driven by Boost Thanks was originally confused about what’s cheaper to go for the 7 or 7.5 DSG seems to be more expensive than a manual. If it’s totally worth it I’d be willing to save a while. Not got a golf r yet but would like to get this kinda hp some day when I get my hands on a stock one.

Hi, interesting review, are there ani anti-lag features on this car? (i suppose there are) which features are there? Cheers, what are the extra modifications of the 3+ vs the (regular :p) stage 3? Cheers, Looking to buy a 7.5 R myself in Belgium, but cannot decide which tuner would be best for me: HGP, APR, ... Cheers
@drivenbyboost4 жыл бұрын
Extra modifications from stage 3 to 3+ is the APR fueling kit. Currently the kit is now only available with the fueling so it’s a requirement. No anti lag features available. APR is a good map but not personalized or customizable. If you want to set it and forget it go to APR, if you want room to play and want other tuning look elsewhere. I recently posted a video explaining my liked and dislikes about APRs stage 3 kit! Give it a look and feel free to ask any more comments or questions, I’ll do my best to answer. I know how difficult it is to decide

If anyone watching this now... Launching at 4000rpm is not the fastest.. try it between 3200-3800 rpm and you have no wheelspin or bad shifts!
