Big Turbo MK7 GTI Full Mod List!

[@HaydenCroix]

I did forget to mention that I am also on BC BR Series Coilovers! Either way I hope you enjoyed todays video!

[@chris.prieto]

Are you on extreme lows. Also did you go with the swift springs for the BC coilovers?

[@HaydenCroix]

@@chris.prieto I am not, and I did not. These are as standard as they get. I personally thought they rode great.

[@chris.prieto]

@@HaydenCroix Thanks man the car looks great. Are you running spacers by chance?

[@HaydenCroix]

@@chris.prieto I run a 5mm spacer up front and a 2mm in the rear.

[@forgemotorsport]

[@HaydenCroix]

That's the plan! Thank you for watching!

[@brianb2454]

[@rjayp5843]

[@Boopybopbeep]

Been following this since day 1, I own an 18 GTI and I definitely have use yours as a motivator, dope as fuck man

[@HaydenCroix]

Thank you for the support!

[@nuffsaid6750]

Never mind that comment I found it on your channel.. 😆

[@zainzaya524]

Love the build bro Wondering how much u pushing right now, are you on ethanol or just 93

[@HaydenCroix]

Just 93 at the moment but I do plan to get on the dyno soon!

[@moereefer]

I’m in New Jersey. Love the car. Looks sweet. I always had JDM car like evo, sti, 240sx. I could use some help. The bolts everything is so different.

[@HaydenCroix]

If you are considering a gti or recently got one, pick up. A set of triple square bits, a set of torque bits (t-10, t-15, t-25, and t-30.)

[@moereefer]

@@HaydenCroix thank you bro. I noticed all the bolts are ect are different

[@TheTexican05]

Tip of the hat to you: 90% of these mods were both tasteful and purposeful. 👌👍 Wider front fenders would be a Godsend on our cars. Any issues yet on your TPC20? They’ve had very mixed reviews and user feedback on the “forumz”. The ones that run pull VERY hard up top though! 👊😏

[@HaydenCroix]

Thank you! And I have yet to have any issues with my tpc20. It has been great to me so far.

[@warrenflb7694]

Sneeky gang !

[@ernestprice1837]

any emission concerns from your mods? here in California, that's something we always "kind of" keep in mind. Nice GTI

[@HaydenCroix]

Here in NC I don’t have any issues with emissions but we also don’t smog check here.

[@jpchampine6992]

Same issue here in Illinois. Been trying to find a downpipe that can pass emissions,but the shop I'm working with has been pretty opinionated that there are none that will pass 100%. They like the cat back exhaust mated to the stock downpipe. Considering my options @ this point.

[@HaydenCroix]

@@jpchampine6992 if you don’t have smog testing where they actually put a sniffer to the exhaust a good o2 spacer will have your car reading clean through the OBD port. If they were to test the exhaust though it would fail. The only downpipe that will pass a smog test and won’t require a spacer would be catted DP from Braun Performance.

[@jpchampine6992]

@@HaydenCroix I'll check out the Braun. Illinois does insert a device into the tailpipe. Hence my dilemma. Maybe the Braun will do the trick.

[@HaydenCroix]

@@jpchampine6992 it should do the job. And it’s actually spelled Baun for some reason auto correct changed it

[@kalenmurray9109]

Any tips for the spoiler install. It’s got me kinda nervous in the mock up in areas where the tape doesn’t sit flush. Did you end up using any of the extra roll? Also, ever plan on doing the carbon trunk?

[@HaydenCroix]

I used my own 3m tape as I didn’t trust theirs. Just make sure to focus on contact points and you should be good. And I have looked into it but it is not at the top of the list

[@codyINK]

Awesome video man, I took alot of notes! I am BRAND NEW to my 6 speed mk7 2.0t and I'm scratching my head real hard trying to figure everything out. Bless the owner before me being very thorough typing out the mods he did. I am in a position now where I just don't know what my next step should be performance wise. Do you have any suggestions on a reliable forum or group (outside of facebook) that can help me out?

[@HaydenCroix]

Vwvortex forum is pretty great. Also check out EQT’s FAQ page

[@ralphmurillo1206]

I have a huge question bro are you running any aftermarket coil packs and if the spark plugs are gapped or not ? Or which exact coil /spark plugs are you running thanks man I’m in the search of learning about the right gap

[@HaydenCroix]

I run rs3 coil packs. My plugs are BriskER10s gapped to .022

[@kindness2280]

No Coils, or lowering springs? DSG or just ecu tube?

[@HaydenCroix]

Check the pinned comment. I am on BC Coils, and you are right I forgot to mention I am dsg tuned through EQT

[@limitededition3278]

Hey Hayden question did your 265 tires throw off your speedometer?

[@HaydenCroix]

Not that I have been able to tell. My old setup definitely did but I was running 235/45’s in the past

[@limitededition3278]

@Hayden Croix thanks man 👍

[@st33llar10]

whats ur exhaust setup i want quad tips man

[@elaironen8592]

Do you have a link for the headlights? Thanks

[@N1ba]

i was hoping to see a real big turbo

@@HaydenCroix the title says BIG TURBO!

[@willymartin5665]

I’d like to know how you have your front lip mounted I had the same one with all the screws and 3m installed and it flew off after two pulls lol.

[@HaydenCroix]

I believe there is a video on the channel, but I used my own nuts and bolts, and reverse mounted it through the bumpers, I got hit by an 18-wheeler tire last month and the lip still didnt give out. It's not coming off unless it's taking my whole bumper with it.

[@HaydenCroix]

Here is the link to the video with install, kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6TFd4yBedSIbqM

[@sou2kk]

what power does that setup make?

[@HaydenCroix]

I don’t have exact power numbers yet but I plan to get on a dyno soon. Ballpark without mpi I would say 400-440 whp on 93 octane

[@Lildipmk7]

Hey dude where’d you get your hpfp and lpfp?

[@HaydenCroix]

I picked up my HPFP through Sneekytuned, I purchased the LPFP from EQT

[@strikerm70]

They still make the hood if anyone is looking for one.

[@strikerm70]

I bought one because of you. lol

[@nuffsaid6750]

Did you put the fenders on your self??

[@HaydenCroix]

I have personally done everything on my car except for the welding since I don't own a welder.

[@nuffsaid6750]

I'm debating on these fenders because I don't want to get front camber mounts because I heard they make noise so these fenders should do.

[@HaydenCroix]

@@nuffsaid6750 what suspension are you running?

[@nuffsaid6750]

Raceland coilovers 3 inches all the way down with stock wheels, with the after market wheels 3 inches in the front, about 2.5 in the back can't recall but close to it.

[@HaydenCroix]

@@nuffsaid6750 they may work for your setup just keep in mind they require some trimming to fit a decent tire

[@kylesydnor10]

How do you pass emission with a downpipe?

[@HaydenCroix]

In NC they do not smog test so I simply just use an o2 spacer

[@tigersharkgreat6820]

Whats the spoiler called?
