Just a couple of quick points from a 5 year mk7 GTI owner. First, the most restrictive part of the GTI is the downpipe. Once you replace the stock downpipe, you will feel a big difference. Honestly, an intake and exhaust are mostly for sound. They don't do much for these cars as far as power. The biggest power gains are from a downpipe and tune. Also, you really need to learn how to turn off traction control. The traction control on the GTI really cuts power when it feels the tires slipping. I can hear it every time you do a pull. That will also make a difference.

[@hoodieboy1515]

Sick thanks for sharing

[@TerpCrazy]

Notes taken for when I get my gti

[@ittorasetsuxx8077]

You have to you obd to fully turn off traction control.

[@zoob4371]

are there any good catted downpipes that will not cause a check engine light? ( i live in a state where they do emissions)

[@itsEpitasis]

How do you pass emission with a down pipe?

The content is so spot on / more realistic in terms of how most would approach mods / the GTI has such a great fun factor when unlocked - Picked up a skull T. Keep up the great work - thank you

[@modified_eurosport]

Wow that’s a mighty fine looking intake🌚 absolutely spectacular results, very OEM+ looking🔥

[@mankmoon3364]

love all this gti content!!

[@GTI_CHHA]

Another great video! By the way, these EA888 engines don't have any MAF sensor (so it can't oil up..). The ECU just looks at the intake pressure and revs to calculate the amount of air that goes in and hence the amount of fuel and timing that is needed.

[@alfredolozano695]

Great video man... Im pretty new to the channel I have 18 mustang gt and this is what kinda brought me here. Im here in phoenix as well so kinda nice to see a local get some love. Love the shop and love the different builds on the channel thanks for keep us entertained throughout my work week.....lol

[@calvincho8965]

I’d like to make some recommendations on mods, I have a FBO APR Stage 2 DSG 2019 GTI. Downpipe: Trackslug 4inch(catback doesn’t matter as much for power, some record holders where using stock catback). The r400 was the consensus of best performing intake but Uni is a good one as well. BFI mounts are expensive but they allow attachments that the stock mounts would’ve allowed. Dogbone mount is subjective but just make sure it changes both upper and lower dogbone mount. Rear sway bar does the most for handling (24-26mm is preferred for most straight line steering feel when taking hard turns). Apex 17inch wheels for most grip and still allowing the popular big brake kit clearance. Stop tech or Porsche macan calibers with stoptech rotors or just rotors and pad upgrade is the most common(I have the Porsche one because Porsche logo and it’s like 300$/caliber). Do88/IE/APR are probably the most run intercooler upgrade. Do88 if can afford it.

Thanks for this video! I've been looking into getting a Unitronic intake for my mk7! :D

Just bought a black skull shirt. Def gonna wear those to local meets to rep carma speed. Design looks so sick.

[@jevonC84]

Open air in takes make a lot more turbo noise but produce more heat. It’s not a blow off valve vw use diverter valves which I like better because it holds boost better through each shift vs a blow off valve. You can always upgrade your diverter valve when u go stage 2 which holds boost better. For example my diverter valve for my stage 2 the turbo will spike at 21 psi and hold 19 up until 6k

[@elijahlucmarvin]

honestly just subbing bc i like vw and your videos are entertaining

[@bynjei2530]

Hey Cameron! I’m a former MK5 GTI DSG Owner and mine was APR Stage 2+ (285hp and 321 lb-Ft of tq). I believe the MK7 GTI’s come with launch control so if you come to a stop, turn off traction control, put it in manual, left foot all the way down on the brake pedal and the right foot down on the gas pedal, it activates launch control (literally spin city lol) but I believe yours has it. It will hold your RPM’s I believe at like 3.5K. Have you given it a try? Also, love the content and keep it up🦾😎You’re an inspiration broski💨

[@subparnaturedocumentary]

i have a mk7 golf 1.8t wolfsburg manual and the spool sound and blow off with an apr charge pipe, ecs intake with luft technik elbow and upgraded silicone tubing and the turbo muffler delete is crazy loud

Got my first speed because of you and you're kinda making me wanna replace my ms6 with a gti now lol

[@jakeb9715]

Same here might have to swap out my speed3 for a mk7 w the dsg

[@OscyJack-]

It's good practice to block off the turbo inlet when working on it, you definitely don't want hardware falling in

[@jevonC84]

Just wait until boost weather you will see a a big difference in throttle response. The summer time I call it a hot air intake lol especially in nc where I live at. I need to get meth injection which will keep intake temps down and your manifold temps also. I would have got a cat less down pipe first vs the cat back. A downpipe with your tune makes a big difference

[@ericalderson8702]

That airbox was some critters home. Hopefully they didn’t get to any wires.

[@DirektBro]

Changing the altinator in your sti would help

[@OGFerlz]

What did you do with the secondary air system hose? Did you just let it hang under without a filter? Thanks

[@operadad552]

Great video, now shouldn’t there be an O ring on the inlet pipe?

[@frzspr1362]

[@danielsd6972]

would y’all recommend the air duct and turbo inlet with a stock intake just with a k&n air filter?

[@w7052009]

Remove the heat padding under the hood makes turbo more pronounced and easier to hear

[@ros102]

I wish you made bmw content, but still love it either way

[@gtiowner]

so should i change the trash stock clutch first or can i get a downpipe with intake?

[@connorverboort7885]

I’m looking at getting a gti myself, and I was just wondering if I need a tune to add the intake or if it would be fine it I ran it without a tune?

[@tebogotriller6257]

Where is the steering wheel of the car located on is it on the left or on the right hand side

[@miamirice6840]

IMO….the ONLYcreason to replace any stock air box on a modern car is to open it up to the induction noises you get from an open cone filter. The closed unit you are installing defeats this noise. That’s it.

[@tebogotriller6257]

I know only a GTI Golf 7 and I don't know the golf 7 se so I'm not sure if the steering wheel is located on the left-hand side or on the right hand I'm not sure if is video I'm not sure if it's the camera or is the car

5:52 . When you take that rope off where do you put it back

Rope? Lol, it’s a vacuum hose and it goes underneath the silicon pipe that connects the air box to the turbo compressor inlet pipe

stupid question but can i run this exact setup without a stage 1 tune?? i would think i could but i’d rather have a solid answer than my dumbass saying i could lol

[@phillmqb7518]

Yea u can intake doesn't need a tune

[@chiquicat1]

Need to drill a hole in the air inlet duct on the side in front of the air filter 😂 Also, this duct has large holes in the bottom instead of a one way drain valve of the stock air box… it sucks hot engine bay air from the bottom. Also, why carbon Fiber?? This intake costs more than the car lol It’s a disproportionate price tag for an intake 😢

This does look amazing but the general consensus is that aftermarket intakes make no power gains on this platform. The real reason to run one is the sound.

[@mynameisnotcory]

In arizona where its hot as ballas and heat soak is an issue, this intake actually helps

[@mkefayati473]

No Dyno papers ?? Real test is not from a dig, it's in the dynamometer. So much for unitronix

[@joeyn177]

intakes on this car don't really do anything besides sound until you're running big turbo. There's been tests with this intake and an aftermarket filter in the stock airbox has been able to flow more air.
