MK7 Turbo Install - EQT - G25 660 - 2019 Golf R

This turbo installation is very similar to other turbos based off of the Garrett platform, such as the CTS BOSS series. This was my first turbo swap, so I definitely learned a lot. I hope this helps others.

That turbo looks like just like the typhoon eqt is selling right now.

I learned there are actually a couple different oil return fittings on the block from factory. Your car had the longer fitting and thats why your oil drain did not line up. Some cars come with a shorter fitting and it makes it way easier to install.

Good to know. I felt like it was way too far off to be normal!

[@Tact-Mack0397]

Awesome vid sir ! As always appreciate it I’ve got a vortex sitting in my closet I’ve been waiting to get on.. just need a fuel pump

[@poyo3582]

Seems like a fairly easy job, we'll at least you make it seem like so lol

[@mguiton]

I have vortex xl kit. It came with 2 washer and I have no idea where they go

[@harambes_revenge9220]

Thanks for the info. Why did you go this route over the garrett power max stage 2 which is a g25-660?

[@NerdGenius]

How you liking the turbo so far? I was able to get one off a built s3 at a junkyard in Houston for $700 with 1300cc mpi and euro manifold. Owner didn’t know it was a g25-660 and sold it based off other s3 turbos. I originally had the 2260s with 925cc mpi and rs3 brushless tuned by UM. I’m currently on revision 2 so boost is turned down that powerband is taking getting use to with a gti.

Do you miss the 2260s?

[@NerdGenius]

@@marcpec11 I miss the midrange power.

[@marcpec11]

@@NerdGenius thanks for the reply, I'm currently trying to decide between a 2260S and G25-660. I think for the type of car that the Golf is I might prefer the responsiveness of the smaller turbo coupled with the more forgiving horsepower and torque on a stock motor/gearbox. But I'm still not exactly certain which way to go 😔

[@josemartin530]

min 5:44 you used a gasket, but there were no gasket in my car not in the turbo kit installation from FCP, where did you get if from? I suspect that line is what is leaking after I changed my turbo.

[@Jonathan-qc1ff]

Hey, i'm wondering, how did you managed to get the workshop manual for the golf R ? At 3:22 looks like you have a PDF or something. Do you have an official link to it by any chance ? Thanks !

[@razorraysolarsavings70]

Great video! Do you have a video for the MPI installation? Thank you sir.

[@davidrobertson702]

where did you get that BILLET coolant fitting? im looking everywhere

[@GTiz4Ever]

Another great vid. Will this turbo function properly with the oil pressure drop that happens when below 3000 rpm? Just wondering.

[@tylerrobert9925]

Sound clips? Turbo sound different sound while daily driving?

[@Racarle]

Hey how’s the g25-660 performing? How much power are you pushing?

[@abdallahmoussa1983]

What are the updates on your car? Still running good? How is the turbo doing so far?

[@MegaHollywood1971]

Too much "custom" to get this turbo in and functional.

[@adelayedahmedahmed1138]

Hp?? 100 to 200 howa many sencond??

[@tris6528]

What power can this make sure and at what PSI

[@flacjacket]

With the G series the last 3 digits indicate the approximate max power capacity of the turbo on a typical modern performance DOHC engine (though it's unclear to me what fuel Garrett intends that to be on). Generally I would expect between 550-600 whp out of the 660.

[@nithilsethupathi7024]

Was it leaking by the vband clamp?

[@EVERYTHINGcpo]

No... actually right where the oil drain pipe connected to the turbo.

[@loustath1583]

Is that the new beta turbo?
