Glad to see an 07k again. Thank you for helping me out with a downpipe! Still holding strong 3 years later. I would definitely love to see a turbo kit. Are you planning on a kit for the IE intake manifold, too?

[@EvanGodo]

Absolutely looking forward to a kit for the VW 07k. You guys rock!

[@Zenosynes]

Thank you for making an in depth analysis for us 07k enthusiasts. I’m running both SPA intake and exhaust manifolds on my turbo 07k. Loving every minute of it !

Appreciate the comments, best of luck on your build.

Absolutely ecstatic to hear about the turbo kit

[@tristanh05]

1.7k views in 8 hours, this video is doing pretty well. I love the 07k content.

[@aaron0315]

Def looking forward for the turbo kit that comes with everything all in one and you need to make it pick and chose friendly where say if you already have a aftermarket intake you can click a box beside the part to add or take away from total price so you don’t have to order things you don’t need twice.

[@COMotorsports]

@@aaron0315 there will be options yes, but this kit is built for specific parts. You choose to use a different part, that means the kit doesn't fit and you need to deal with it. In the end the goal is to offer a complete kit with EVERYTHING needed to bolt on to the car and go. For example there is no aftermarket intake for the 2.5 that will fit this kit.

[@aaron0315]

@ just wondering then are you guys thinking of having the kit work with just the stock intake then or are you just gonna go with the spa options just wondering your guys thoughts on how your gonna this kit. Curious to see what you all come up with cause I know whatever it is will be nice.

I have an 08 wolfsburg jetta with the 2.0 but just bought an 07 with the 07k and I'm gonna tear it down myself and completely rebuild and turbo it. I've watched a lot of video's on these engines but I really enjoy all of yalls V.W content, very informative and directly to the point. Really appreciate it and would love to see what yall put together for a turbo kit!!

[@COMotorsports]

Appreciate it

[@casasdenick]

Killer vid. Checking in to say my mk7 swap is still a go. I'm working on the harness right now, once that's done I plan to knock it all out over a weekend. 07k + factory daza rods/pistons + daza turbo/downpipe + IE intake + 980cc injectors run by EMU Black. Mike at Ringer got me sorted on the clutch/flywheel setup. I'm only aiming for ~400hp/400tq so pretty boring to the internet, but beyond reliable and fun to drive in real life.

[@COMotorsports]

Best of luck with your swap, great choice.

[@teamneverlift8347]

Now is the time to get into an 07k. There getting more popular by the day.

Dang just checked local part yard these engines are cheap thanks for the heads up my work car may get an upgrade 👍

[@dB_944]

Any tips on selecting an engine in the junkyard? Looks like pulling the valve cover is a good start. 👍

[@COMotorsports]

Buy from salvage, they generally have some sort of warranty. This one I bought random, heard it run when I considered buying the entire car but I didn't. Then a month or more after I bought just the engine from that vehicle. So it likely sat outside out of the car before I ended up getting my hands on it. Really shouldn't have mattered to much but clearly water got in there.

[@jettamaster3297]

Only a few minutes in and I have to comment! Would have been great to see a real tear down of a junker motor. Especially the parts you struggle with... like how you remove those manifold nuts and bolts and how you remove O2 sensors that like to "live in there permanently" in real . Details of and seeing the patience, techniques and tools required to do this would have been enlightening. As opposed to those infuriating "simply remove the control arm pinch bolt" and voila videos. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

[@COMotorsports]

@@jettamaster3297 thanks however the issue with that simply comes down to time. It took a full day and half to film this, then cut it all down to what's still a very long video. Making a 2hr video is extremely unlikely to get seen by most. And unfortunately if people aren't watching it there's no point into doing it.

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

Use a high quality tool that has the least amount of play in/on the fastener, use penetrant, and sometimes on a stud, use a wire brush to try to remove crust. As far as O2 sensors go - get one of the special sockets for it if you're reusing it, otherwise, cut the pigtail and use a standard impact.

[@jettamaster3297]

@@COMotorsports Ya I do get that, its a 45min video and it probably took that long to remove the manifold and O2 sensor. But the hard stuff is the stuff people need to see so they're not talking out their ass' like bedroom mixers and armchair quarterbacks do. I guess its not specific to the 07K. You could have made 10 x 15 minute videos with all that filming... But you're the content provider and I'm just the consumer, just my 2 cents. Cheers

[@jettamaster3297]

@@jameshaulenbeek5931 You may have misunderstood, I wasn't looking for instruction on how it's done. I KNOW how its done. I wanted to express my disappointment missing out on all the heatings and beatings, tantrums and cursing that make for good content. For those of you with little to no experience doing this kinda stuff, the strategies you suggest (while arguably correct) lead to successful outcomes way less than half the time on 20ish year old stuff. Especially for those of us north of 40°. Enjoy

The kit is happening. But you need to realize a turbo kit to for a transverse engine will not fit a longitudinal engine.

@comotorsports hey was wondering what would cause my 07 rabbit to not rev past 3k rpm when shifting? The epc light came on.

Can be tons of stuff, coils, plugs, speed sensors, MAF if maf car... so much. First thing to do is scan it, it will help point you in the right direction.

[@Die_Dylan]

I'm itching to do a 07K swap in my mk2 jetta but there isn't alot of engine mount kits. The only one I can find is from fabless but that is a lot of money just to fit a reasonably cheap engine, do you know of any alternative(cheaper) way to make a 07K fit in a mk2? 🤙🏻🇿🇦

[@COMotorsports]

If you bought a cheap house and wanted an in ground pool installed, do you think it should cost less then the same pool installed at a more expensive house? Just because the engine is cheap doesn't mean everything else automatically is cheap also. 😀 Just appreciate that the engine is cheap and run with it.
