I was really hopped up on new car vibes and redbull.. my b

[@CameronAlford]

Don’t forget to order from carmaspeed.com if you want a free k&n filter. Leave a note on the order that you’re after the intake!! 🏁👌🏻

[@camhoff5333]

Its a good vibe

[@rileyprince5587]

The phone mount I use is the Rennline magnetic mount. It's gonna be about 50 bucks. www.rennline.com/VW-MK75-ExactFit-Magnetic-Phone-Mount/productinfo/PM01.21/ (also different generations of GTI/ other cars)

[@BabyCharlotteschannel]

Oh i am so soo stoked to finally find my next gti, Mazdaspeed 3/6, or wrx.. my goodness it is so hard keeping my patience waiting for the right deal!!

[@cordelldejager]

You’re telling people: “it has a lot of audi in it” but audi is owned by VW haha.. it’s a lot of VW in it.

[@anunnakivi4140]

True. VW owns Škoda, Seat, Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, Ducatti... and more

[@anunnakivi4140]

[@TheMatadrum]

MQB platform Audi's have a lot of Volkswagen in them. As do Seat and Skoda variants. I'd say out of all of the cars under in the VAG sphere, Audi does a heck of a lot of its own R&D, but in terms of the cheaper scale vehicles like the A3/S3/RS3/Q2/A1 etc. etc. They use the Volkswagen parts bin. As for this GTi. I think we can all pretty much appreciate that saying it has a lot of Audi in it is a massive oversell. But we are taking all of this from a video made by a guy who recommends we buy K&N air filters, mobile phone holders and extended paddle shifters for our Golf GTi's as a first. What a load of fucking content bloat. The K&N will do nothing for the car, the mobile phone mount is null considering MOST of the MQB platform Golf's have Android and iOS connectivity, and the extended paddles... Meh? I digress. Rant over.

[@anunnakivi4140]

@@TheMatadrum yes, that is fully true! The only satisfaction from those filters is, the sound, ngl, if it’s stock.

I literally just put my deposit down today on my first GTI. I’ve always wanted one from a young age so I’m excited to finally be owning one. Can’t wait to explore the mods and these seem like nice little starters for sure!

[@hoodieboy1515]

Ayooo what year you got?! Congrats!! I’m shopping rn for one here in Cali! If u got alpha for a good one in market pls lmk!

[@KevinLavorgna]

dude! me too. I put my FIRST deposit down on my 8th vw though haha. found a Great falls green GTI and Saturday it will be mine! im pumped

[@BabyCharlotteschannel]

Sweet! I havent had a gti since the last two mk2 8 valve 1.8's i had years ago!! Heck, my first one was a '87 with 54kmi on it!!

[@BabyCharlotteschannel]

**looking for a 1.8t, found a nice '05 i can just afford to buy outright, or id love to find a mazdaspeed 3 or a 6 too!!

[@wetnapkin8848]

Just bought one too haven’t received it yet that’s 10 more days from now 😢

[@harrisonpyle6651]

I have a 2017 4 door 6-speed gti with golf r wheels and I’m so happy to see you bought one

[@jordie00bogart]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I love anything GTI/Golf R and even though mine have all been manual, I really enjoyed your format and demeanour.

[@yodougy]

i’m all for this build, i’m excited to see what you do

[@RizzGodRichard]

Hey man, been watching since the Focus ST! took a few of the things you did and applied to mine! I appreciate the effort you put into your videos! You got a great attitude, and I always enjoy watching when I can! Keep it up man!

[@office.dsvllc6553]

Can’t wait to see this build I myself have a mark 7 gti and would love to see what you do next!

[@Dcc357]

Lower polyurethane engine mount insert is a must if you don't mind a tiny bit more vibration. I got mine from ECS Tuning. No wheel hop, and engaging clutch with a manual feels a bit more precise.

[@jakepalmer1747]

The edit was chaos i love it 😂 make that gti a ripper!!!

[@Vonte_Gallery]

I’m about to get a GTI soon so these videos are extremely helpful thanks 🤙🏾

[@noahn5146]

Just like I commented on the last video.... I am so hyped for you man! Currently building up my mk7 too!

[@joeykong94]

Love your channel bro I'm binging the hell outta it rn I got a 2015 gti

[@BenLovrien]

I feel the redbull vibes, if I had access to them like that they’d probably be gone in a couple days😂

[@mankmoon3364]

so excited for this build!

[@Shcubaskeez]

i feel the redbull vibes. ahaha love the phone mount discerption. "does it pull out your hazard lights? yes it does" im dead. but on that note i just picked up my 2nd speed3 gen1 this time. so the fact your working on a fwd turbo car is dope as hell.

[@Bertski12]

You already know im here ready for the mods 😆

[@alexanderpowers4515]

Really happy for you my guy. Thanks for investing so much into this channel, we love it! Hard work will pay off! Watched you for a long time but not really a mustang guy and got busy. So happy to be back now regret leaving too. I bought a 2015 gti last year, swapping the golf r is38 turbo into it now. Have any plans for any bigger power than stage 2?

[@alexanderpowers4515]

Also a little tip a down pipe makes a huge difference(it’s where most of the restriction is). Most people just run that and don’t change the stock catback. Can’t wait for your build

[@toast666lol]

Bro, I have been trying to find a phone holder for my GTI for months! I just used your link and mine should be here today. Thank you!!!

[@aliciawright2092]

I bought a 2011 gti this summer and i’m very new to the car scene in comparison with some other people, i appreciate this channel so much!💓

[@bugjrdn]

i have a 2012 and i’m definitely learning a lot

[@tomwoolaghan1972]

i’ve just bought a 2015 stick shift

[@carlosgodinez9664]

Bro have been watching you for a while your an inspiration to a lot of people bro keep doing what youre doing youll be big 🙏

[@Wallacea98]

Best phone mount by far is the Nightize steelie squeeze dash kit. I’ve had it on all my cars, have never found a better one. All my friends that see it end up buying one for themselves. The double sided tape that comes with it isn’t the best but if you just put some strong 3m double sided tape on it’s the best mount out.

[@unknwn2562]

This series came right on time 😂 got a 2015 GTI 3 months ago, and after driving stock for a good amount of time, I’m now looking for more things to do with it, including a tune

[@Plupx]

tune tune tune tune tune it! It really transforms the power band :D

[@SilverShamrock71]

So far I've done paint correction with ceramic coat on my 7.5 white silver metallic, Michelin PS5s, clubsport alcantara steering wheel, next up performance calipers, vented discs and probably Oz ultraleggeras. Clubsport mats, if I can find a RHD set. Happy with stock ride height and power, so that will probably be it, maybe a stage 1 tune, not much else, want to keep a stock / OEM vibe

[@ericksotoponce7819]

I literally just finished watching the first video. and im about to buy a gti myself, and there arent many videos about modding this cars

[@QuavyQua]

I literally bought my mk7 gti performane 2 months ago! so far i have new paddles, a catless downpipe, and a cold air intake!

[@evennphilander9715]

What do you like more at this point? Ford focus st vs golf 7 gti?

[@tiltedtoken1450]

Drove my 2019 GTI off the lot on Thursday. Had a stage 1 ordered 5 minutes after getting home. You could say an had an itch.

[@darricksadventures6305]

I'm hyped for this build bro! Welcome to the VW family!

[@jonathanedge6098]

So excited to watch your build progress

[@joeoppman1942]

Lol this vid was easy to sit through congrats on the new car! I got a mk 5 myself(:

[@nestorlucero961]

I use the Rennline’s ExactFit Magnetic Phone Mount. It’s amazing and looks as if it should come stock in the car.

[@micaiahreese]

Make sure you turn off the soundaktor with an ob11. Get rid of the fake engine noise lol

[@JMcLean69]

I legit got the same year, same spec except manual about a month ago 😂 this video could not be at a better time

[@Gg-pp6el]

It was the exact same scenario for me but with the focus st 🤣🤣

[@Kanashii609]

Using all the gti mods on ur channel to make my stock golf 1.8tsi a sleeper with golf r specs lol

[@trapvandal]

Got my phone mount sitting below the steering wheel line with one of those bendy arm ones with a suction cup mount.

[@depfknr9211]

So cool man! Love the fact that u like the car community and not only a part of it like jdm etc

[@alvinnewberry3091]

My first upgrades on my mk8 was cold air intake deverer valve spacer and hood strut

[@danielallen5181]

Yo what camera setup do you use Just hit 10 K on KZbin and really love your set up man.

[@kanolaoil]

I came back to this video to check out the paddle shifters you got. Bought the exact same ones. Super solid! A smidge of play in them but that’s probably totally normal. So much better than spending 200 on the “named” brands.

[@ToModorNottoMod]

Hello from Queen Creek AZ. I had 2 MK4s and looking for a Mk6 or 7 and you posted this! Really! Haha Wish you the best bro!

[@brandonburchell8]

I have those exact paddles! I love them!

[@Kevo.x85]

So excited for this build!

[@be00]

I’m so excited for this build🔥

[@NORTEskXIV]

have a stock mk7.. looking to build it. subbed to see what you do and get ideas lol

[@jordancornwell4548]

I always see that phone mount and wondering I should get one and now I know lol. I also have the exact same paddles and I also have a red remove before flight keytag lmao. And a good setup for the phone is the proclip lower mount with the magnetic setup and a pitaka magez carbon case. And a short 6inch cable to go to the phone from that USB port.

[@alphadragongamingFTW]

Nice Car man. I just picked up a 2017 Alltrack and man I love it. So zippy. Already lookin at some performance and cosmetic mods. Carbon Hood, Exhaust and Cold Air Intake being the first I Think.

[@NVmk7]

I modded the hell out of my mk7 a month or so after I bought it. I also want to wrap it in the same color you used on the mustang in one of your videos 😅

[@CT-zq3kz]

like the vibe, subscribed

[@Arynaimi1]

Amazon has an intake for the GTI, it was $150 when I had my GTI. Just as good as the ones on ECS Tuning

[@miami3863]

LMAO Hol’up!!! Did he say “saving the best for last” twice? Should say “saving the second best for second to last” lol

[@GuillermoHernandez-gp8qz]

I have a 2016 vw gti really wish I got the k&n filter

[@joshnystrom3266]

Check out Rennline "ExactFit" mounts for Mk7. Fits flush behind the screen trim & has a strong magnet.

[@ryanbeck4826]

I have a vw cc with the same ea888 engine and when I say please get a new oil pan with baffles or get an acusump kit they have awful oil pressure in the corners and will blow without a moments notice

[@scottestepa3164]

Liked the video as soon as i saw the phone mount. I might have to get one.

[@scottestepa3164]

Or maybe not...

[@Prodslade]

Him: I’m gonna save best for last Me: interested Him: shows paddle shifters Me: has a manual gti 🙃

[@NewGoldStandard]

Manual for the win! Please don't tell me you regret the choice...

[@josephhalawani6155]

real top 3 best mk7 mods - stage 1 tune , drop in filter , sport/summer tires

[@zacfernandez5846]

Curious to see the reason why DSG over manual, driven both and owned manual so would like to see what your thoughts are!

[@BBalz89]

Good video. Seem like a chill dude

[@ethanhansen4771]

Loved the video man

[@tkoborny]

Guess the paddle shift bling is like getting a new gear shift knob for the manual.

[@carscene7425]

I like that this video is kinda jokes with everything in the commentary and the products

[@bigdogvlogs6057]

Also super hype you’re building something close to my car

[@brandynshroyer4240]

YES! im thining about the is38turbo and some coilovers

[@CarlosLopez-cj9kb]

I'm kind of anxious what you're going to do with this car... the MK7 GTI is at "that" price now and I've been seeing some gut wrenching builds. Hope you keep this build clean and make us look good :)

[@BMPTuning]

Awesome to see you nab a MK7

[@iiPeep]

Are there going to be anymore of the black 2XL new shirts on the website?

[@brett1129]

Do these work for the Jetta gli as well

[@k1ngethhh804]

Do the paddles work in a 2017 TSI?

[@aallexxiiisss]

Do the mk7 and mk8 have the same paddle shifters ??

[@turbolaze1]

great vid! do a paddle shifter tutorial

[@mofreekie]

Not 100% sure they fit GTI but d-dock is the only phone “mount” I would consider as long as you have a dash cam.

[@nxxbs_btw5568]

my gti is coming in 2 days so excited

[@kiliannelson5320]

we matching ahaha expect i got wheels and big breaks , but other than that cat back and stage 1 very funnn , if u hold the tc button it’ll b a lot faster too btw

[@killerkhalsa27]

Are you gonna put an aftermarket lsd in this thing?

[@Lancetheambulance]

you've got goo taste in cars and mods so can't wait to see what you do to this thing

[@jacobshank9362]

How come you didn't get a manual GTI?

[@conjohn14]

Good vids man

[@theedwardbrad48]

What is the color off that roll of wrap above your head at 6:51 ? That color would look dope on my GTI

[@eddiemindra6110]

Does anyone know if those DSG paddle shifters fit on a mrk6 gti?

[@rainerr9711]

How much can you recommend marintuning!

[@schmeebo8753]

throw a p3 vent boost gauge on that puppy! or a new south mechanical gauge! i think mk7 has a boost display in the headunit anyways but still :D

[@yeahk7935]

The quirky intro with the hazard button coming off is what kept me here today. Well done Cam! 💪

[@shadschmidt3581]

😂 me too!

[@shadschmidt3581]

When is the second garage video?!?

[@Avram42]

This should have been titled "if you bought a DSG" -- if you bought a 6 spd (like me, on purpose because of course) then the first three mods should be a Boomba short shift kit, removing the clutch spring and installing a clutch travel stop pad under the pedal.

[@michaeleverson3801]

3 best mods in terms of bang for buck? 1. New tires, the OEM Pirellis really hold the car back, it's a different car on Firestone Indy 500s. 2. Big-bore turbo inlet pipe for increased throttle response and a touch more power. 3. K&N filter, also for increased throttle response and a few extra ponies. Also recommend ripping out the snow guard when you install this. Those 3 things and the car definitely wakes up. I also spent another $50 on a silicone intake hose when I did the turbo inlet/K&N install. You pretty much don't need a $500 intake with the last mods mentioned above.

[@lospadrinosofficial]

Where did you get that white tool box?

[@bigdogvlogs6057]

Yuhhh the day I got my 2014 gli I got the paddle extenders right away !!!!

[@Carol39810]

Bro, you need to add an OBDeleven in your top 3 mods to buy right away bundle haha! Badgeskins goodies will also be added shortly after that 👀🙌🏼

[@willyj7407]

LOL "does it pull the hazard lights off the dash... yes"

[@eden4949]

I prefer pipercross (or any other dry) filters. The oil on K&N and other oiled filters may damage the MAF

[@brandons9138]

There is no MAF on the 2.0 engine. I still agree though oil based filters are a mess and really aren't that good at filtration.

[@bruhleaning9056]

what year and trim is this gti?

[@javiermarroquin7768]

I have the same car!!! I'm gonna follow your mods man🤣

[@mppercussion]

I literally use the front of that little cubby near the shifter. It is the perfect size to hold my phone horizontally

[@mora850]

It’s the comedy for me 😂🤘🏽

[@hectorsalvador8337]

what year is this gti?

[@dontajones5994]

0:01 Is that a Husky toolbox, forget the GTI you've got good taste. They make a white one now, so cool😎.

Golf r or Sti?

I just got my st2 this week 101 on the odo. Just found out ur vids same day I got it lol 😂 but now I got a code for p129a. I’m thinking it’s bad up stream o2

[@c-milleygaming9437]

i recommend a company called mous. they make by far the most durable case ive ever used and they have magnets built into them and they sell mounts and chargers to go in you car that hold my phone just fine.

[@lell9460]

I want the air filter! I have a mk7 GTI :)
