Automatic MK7 1.8T with IS20 Turbo upgrade. Cheapest Power?

We do plenty of IS20's turbo upgrades on MK7 1.8T's. However this one's an automatic, and with that said because it doesn't require a clutch upgrade, is this the cheapest way to get this much power? Very simple mods.... with great results.
Horsepower Mods consist of:
IS20 (GTI Turbo)

248whp on an auto is pretty damn good in my eyes. Especially since GTI owners are upgrading to IS38 or GT2260 and the IS20 is getting easy to find. I find them for about $250 in good shape. I'm really impressed

[@deanschofield99]

This is definitely a different car now :)

[@colinmcdonell5034]

Love to see a hybrid TPC IS20 turbo with custom EQT tuning on that Golf 1.8T. Great video...

[@carbongecko]

Thank you for posting this, I have a 2016 mk7 1.8t auto golf and have done the is20 turbo upgrade, high flow 3" downpipe and full 3"dual exhaust. Since no one does the auto version I never really had number to compare to. I look forward to any more 1.8t upgrade dyno videos.

[@pudermcgavin4462]

Thanks for this video I have a mk7 tsi 5 speed with a full racingline intake setup, with elbow turbo muffler delete! It changed the vehicle it now will rev out to redline at least!

gosh that 135i sounds so sweet

[@oakzy3647]

Love the vids

[@JohnEvans-ct6mz]

Thank you for this. I have a scrap IS20 that only needs a new waste gate actuator. I planned to put it on my 1.8T Jetta sport. I know, it’s clocked and hangs differently than the Jetta Garrett/Honeywell setup, but I’m pretty sure I can make it work.

[@BrodeyDoverosx]

Well I just came back from Canadian autocross nationals and your gas is truly amazing to behold. Irving 91 was used and I had to pull a lot of timing out of my tune, even at cruising speeds.

[@dustysteele5408]

Awesome video!! I can’t wait to go big turbo on my 99.5 Audi Quattro and go from around 250hp to 400hp+. I’m definitely going to have to upgrade the clutch at the same time.

[@TheFranpito]

i have the same gearbox on a seat leon 1.8tsi with a ihi rhf5 (gti mk6 turbo), full 3" exhaust with downpipe, CAI, cold spark plugs and a custom stage 2+ tune . With a stage 2 TCU tune. Im currently at 280 HP krank and 380nm. It´s not about power, it´s about torque. You can make a low torque tune that makes a lot of power.

[@SuperHbkforever]

Oh shit! Cool to see you guys dyno an n54! That's actually what my car is! I have an e90 335xi with hybrid 17t turbos and e50 fuel, a whole bunch of other mods, and made 598whp and 573lbs/ft wt on a mustang dyno It's a fun car to drive and crazy fast.

[@FlyingStuff]

I have an auto mk7 1.8tsi with IS20, APR PEX intake, larger tip, and intake tube. I blend about 3 gallons of E85 into every tank and the car feels like it’s making a solid 260-270whp. The addition of E into the tank really wakes it up a lot with no changes to the software

[@lamazver]

Why is it so wavey? Have you pushed it hotter into measurement bc it spooled faster than oem🧐

[@syrconcrete6399]

for anything modern VAG you wanna be running higher octane fuel and the stock DP and intecooler should be done for sure

[@DontKillRoyalty]

Sweet! now lets throw an IS38 on it

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

Cool to see! I'd read that the autos weren't capable of handling the torque from a turbo upgrade, and even just a stage 2 would be more than what they could handle.

[@BrodeyDoverosx]

Oh. I’m surprised APR is okay with running on PID loops so much. I’ve always found it better to let your torque and boost management slightly away from the produced power/boost.

[@edu1281]

i got a 2016 5speed wasnt aware of the power

[@twitchub219]

for golf 7 1.4 tsi is that suitable for is20 turbo?
