slots on the bracket is genius plus they look part of the kit

Excellent video bruh, I don’t have a Volkswagen but I got the TR8 & this was fun to watch. Cheers from 🇨🇦

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Much respect, I'm happy you got value from this install video. Shout out to you and all the Canadian viewers.

[@estebeng]

You look like you did a good job bro.

[@scottjacobsen2889]

1st of all, thanks for the video mate. Would u think cutting the crash bar would effect insurance? Also is this install as effective as also piping in the original intercooler?

[@160calories]

this was incredible my dude, great work! LI represent

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Much respect! 💪🏾

[@dirkwilken8664]

Great video. Colbalt drill bits are amazing for cutting into your crash bar.

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Thanks for watching. I figured out a technique how to drill through the crash bar, after I broke a couple bits. But none the less, the crash bar is a tough metal. I'll definitely checkout the Cobalt drill bits.

[@Bumm1965]

You we're quite thorough I am very impressed good job bro

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Yea, I try to add as much details as possible, Much respect👍🏽

[@TechnicaX]

great job. I need you in Massachusetts to do some work on my GTi. Hard to find specialized folks out there

[@SwanyVlogs]

Amazing video, love it when people put time in there installs to make a perfect video. So total your cost was around $350 for everything? And I’m thinking of going ko4 and with forums people are saying don’t get arm,nuespeed or other bolt in FMIC so I’m guessing you whent this route so your BT could run better with a better core? Thanks in advance!

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Thanks for watching! Yes, the total cost was around $350 and yes, I went with this intercooler because of the efficiency.

If I install a intake, exhaust and a blow off valve do I need to install a intercooler as well

[@Matotaskare]

Awesome, good video, really helpful 👌

Sick video bro, just getting stuck into my gti atm but defo stop wearing those gloves on that drill press

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

thanks, much respect. yea true, drill press with gloves ain't safe

[@tube2892]

Great video, I'm curious why did you go with a custom kit instead of getting a aarm intercooler that just bolts on? also did you remove the original intercooler?

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Thanks! The one I installed is more efficient, and I like the aesthetic of it. I did not remove the stock intercooler yet. I'm going to remove it and use a delete kit. I just need to figure if I'm going to get the brackets or custom make them.

[@tayscreations3538]

I have a mk6 gti with charge pipes and intake on stage 2 tune with down pipe as well. I’ve been interested in upgrading to the ko4 or is38 but haven’t made a choice. Do you have any more knowledge or preference between the two?

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

The ko4 is a good choice to make more power without too much hassle. I doubt the is38 can fit on the MK6, the exhaust manifold is different.

[@matthewhenry6797]

I been helping my son customize a 2012 turbo beetle and wanted to do this but I also was interested in a tune for it what do you recommend as for tuning. It has a BOV and cold air intake installed already along with straight pipe exhaust from behind the cats.

[@MauriceEllerbee]

Hey bro question, I’m looking to go with the treadstone tr10 instead of the 8 which is slightly longer. 10 being 10.5" X 22" X 3.5" and the 8 being 7.8" X 22" X 3.5". Now shy of a few tenths it’s 1.5 inches on both sides. Do you think it’ll be much of a clearance issue tbh? Asking you since you’ve done the install.

[@MauriceEllerbee]

Already told you about my 500wheel goal I think in your clutch video. Since the 8 is good for 500hp I didn’t wanna risk the typical want for more power and have to get a bigger one so the best one they sell with close enough dimensions is the 10C

[@MauriceEllerbee]

Also instead of the lower position inlet and outlet it’s a center.

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

You'd probably have to cut the entire crash bar, instead of notching it like I did. But yea, you'll definitely have clearance issues to deal with, which you'll have to fabricate. I personally wouldn't want to install a bigger intercooler on this car based on my build.

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

I'm not a fan of the center piping. The piping lines up better when the openings are at the bottom on the intercooler, in my opinion.

Did you remove the intercooler from the stock location?

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Nah, not yet. I'm planning to make a video showing how to do it.

[@aboody289]

I see some they just connected the two intercoolers together but I don't know if they are right or not.

[@matthewhenry6797]

Just a little help to save you alot of money on drill bits. Use masonry drill bits they cut way better and faster along with lasting much longer. Amazing work you showed here thanks alot now I have the confidence to do my son's turbo beetle for him.

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Cool, next time I'll try Mason bits, Much respect. Sounds like a fun project.

[@korey420]

Using mationary bits on metal is useless .. That would be like using a Metal bit to try to drill into block....

[@matthewhenry6797]

@@korey420 I thought so to but I have used them and continue to use them with no issues and they cut great

[@korey420]

@Matthew Henry I think it would greatly depend on the type of metal as well

[@matthewhenry6797]

@@korey420 I know it works on mild steel and aluminum now I'm not sure on stainless but if you look at the tip of a masonry bit it's just a bigger carbide cutting edge and it cuts surprisingly fast

intercooler dimensions please?

[@lucasoliveiraarruda4504]

ur lucky i came back to this video late and can reply to you😂it's the treadstone TR8 intercooler, should be 7.8"x22"x3.5"

[@bobsaget3044]

I want to see actual data that proves one fmic is more efficient over another in my semi uneducated opinion I don’t think there is much of a difference more so a ploy to get you to buy their product, if it’s a bar and plate design with the aluminum end tanks that come on most all aftermarket intercoolers now than there shouldn’t be much of a difference. The piping might be something to worry about with quality and density keeping the air flowing through cool to the engine 🤷🏻‍♂️ maybe wrap them in heat wrap as well along with intake manifold to keep everything as cool as possible, not saying you need to spend $$$ on a name brand intercooler but typically the quality kinda tends to go up when the price goes up NOT in all cases but typically. I purchased an eBay sellers downpipe and yes it was manufactured in china and it li fell apart and caught fire under my GLI lol so sometimes it’s best to pay a bit more and get quality materials! I do love all the detailed explanations though that’s awesome. 👊🏻😎
