Building My MK4 Jetta 2.0 Turbo in 10 Minutes!

It's been a long road with this car and there is still more to come! Thanks for the continued support!!!

[@robbmoose2542]

I was cringing when you said 2.0 automatic but I have mad respect for you for sticking to it and doing the swap, motor internals and painting it. I'm going to get wheels and an exhaust this week for mine and you vid just made me more excited.

Bro great job 💪 u did in ur back yard what 80% of this new jeneracion can't do Whit a garage full of tools. kids this days they just want to buy stuff and pay someone to do it and not build it them self's keep ur head up and keep the good work 👍 god bless you 🙏

What a coincidence! I've seen your car around town a few times. Been thinking about doing something similar to my yellow 20th AE. The youtube algorithm provides!

Bora 4 life! It's become a little bit easier here in Norway, but from what I've heard the car has to be at least 20 years old before you can do any major upgrades without too much fuss. Mine turns 20 this fall, and I've been thinking of dropping a VR5 or 6 into it....

[@Brock_Landers]

So, I just bought a 2000 Mk4 Golf 2 door hatch and the chassis has 202k miles on it, so I only paid $400 for it. I have sunk another $1500 into making it a somewhat reliable daily. It's a 2.0 8 valve AEG with a 5 speed and this car couldn't get out of it's own way, so I'm currently looking into building a budget turbo kit for it. I'm not looking to make 400 whp, but it'd be nice to have 200 at the wheels, so it'll be a stock internal low boost build. I HATE the long runner two-piece intake manifold and I've been dying to make my own sheet metal intake manifold, because every single aftermarket manifold I've seen for this car is RIDICULOUSLY priced and unavailable. Anyway, I have like 3 larger intercoolers, all the piping I'd ever need, an HKS SSQV BOV, a Tial F38 38mm wastegate, 660cc Bosch injectors, an AEM 340 LPH fuel pump, a PLX wideband, and a freshly rebuilt Turbonetics 60-1 Hifi all sitting on my shelf from when I built my 612 whp EJ8 Civic coupe, so all I'd need at this point is the turbo manifold and some way of tuning it. The car already has a nice sounding 3" exhaust.

[@jaydiancepeda1428]

That Dude Your Mom Warned You About videos wanna see it happen also have the same car with a 3” and sounds nice and all but need more power

[@Brock_Landers]

@@jaydiancepeda1428 Oh God yes, it definitely is begging for more power. If I do end up making a turbo kit and a sheet metal intake manifold for it, I will make videos of it and post on my channel.

[@Brock_Landers]

@@jaydiancepeda1428 Honestly I might just pull the lower manifold flange where it bolts to the head and adapt this extra Skunk2 Ultra Street intake manifold and 70mm throttle body to it if I can. I have a buddy that TIG welds, so he shouldn't have a problem adapting it.

[@okeim546]

[@nddavi58]

[@Niko-iw1sr]

This is so sick man! I have a mk4 golf (2000) with the same 2.0l non-turbo engine you started with and aspire to do the same thing you did in this video! I am curious roughly how much you spent on the build and what would be some things you would do different if you would do it over again?

[@rohanbiswas6898]

Save ur money. Cheaper, better, faster, more reliable, ect to buy a 1.8t or vr.

[@chrisrigsby8935]

I don't why people freak out about these cars or others being an automatic? Honestly nothings bad about them. I've always preferred auto over manuals even though I can drive both

[@jerrycai3317]

The automatics have a tendency to fail before 100k miles

[@chrisrigsby8935]

@@jerrycai3317 Ya that happens with age too. They all have issues here & there. I'm just going for the MPG in these mainly since I drive 500-700 miles a week. Not looking for speed or anything. I really like this body style

[@reynaldotorres2522]

In general standard is more fun to drive as you need to be more in tune w your vehicle

[@MrTheHillfolk]

I'm doing a Smyth Ute out of the wife's old 99 5 gls vr6. It's an auto 😂 If she wants to drive it, fine. If not and the trans blows, a manual swap ain't hard and I've got all the pieces except for the trans. If it blows up and she still wants to drive it ,I'll find another auto for it. Folks rip on the o1m ,but mines been serviced like 3-4x in 130k out of fear of dirty fluid killing it.

[@scrybitz]

good video, nice ride and I'm sure an enjoyable cruise

[@Residentxevil2]

how do you control fuel and ignition advance ? Stock ecu with tune ? or are you using an aftermarket ecu ( megasquirt, speeduino etc ) . an easy way to have a 2.0 turbo is to use a 1.9 TDI 8v exhaust manifold, remove the VGT, weld on a T2/T3 flange and enjoy!

I got the transmission for 120 at the junk yard. And axles were like 50. Just need the shifter assembly a clutch kit a few wiring items and fuses for under the dash. In total I think it was around 700 I remember being quoted like 1900 for the swap which would be nice to not have to worry about doing the work but it wasn't all that hard since I had the engine out anyway

@@samhaley6024 frankenturbo makes a really great hybrid turbo. Thats by far the best bang for your buck. Big turbo options are slimmer but gt28rs is pretty much a home run. They are great turbos for these cars. Dont sleep on the k03s or K04 stock turbos. A little tune wakes them right up and you can make 230hp with a tune, DV valve, and intercooler.
