Truly love the fact you’ve gone stage 3 and you’ve kept the car this long. It’s visible how much you thoroughly love the car. You’re not doing an Archie Hamilton by keeping the car for couple months wrap exhaust n selling it, lol! I’d personally love to see more wash/snow foaming videos with the Golf from you! Hope u never sell it! I’ve had my 7R for just as long and been APR stage 2+ ever since :) !

[@jamesr50]

Antony V its true I love this car and I can’t see me selling it anytime soon! I can sort some videos out like that, thats good and it’s good that you still enjoy it🙌🏻

@Chris you can get a mk 7 golf gti for £10000. So it want be hard finding a nice polo gti for that.

My plan is to save for "stage 2", maybe getting parts that are good for stage 3 and if 400bhp isn't enough I've not got much to change for stage 3

[@plaguexyz666]

I have been told that the reason for people selling soon after going stage 3 is that basically they have ruined their cars. APR stage 1 ecu & tcu with an apr catback valved exhaust with dual layer 4" black tips ...SWEET

If it’s a daily yep it’s ruined, weekend car not so much, just no confidence in the reliability of it even though oil servicing etc gets done every 3k

Maybe an audi s4/s5 v6 supercharged with a mrc stage 2 tune around 500bhp but the older 7 speed s tronic box is renowned for major issues, not the dq500 or the newer dq381, its the dl501

[@ashykings]

Some places you can save money for people watching... Try get as many parts as you can 2nd hand. Stick with 450-470bhp (will cost a lot less) Normal vw spark plugs will handle 470bhp. You don't need a chatch can as said. Get a littco turbo for a lot less. You do not need a full exhaust, just a downpipe will do. No high power fuel pump needed at 460-470bhp. But if you need the extra 30bhp... get your wallet out😁

[@juliagolfr5016]

when i went stage 3 from stage 2 was changed: turbo tte555 charge pipes 4bar map sensor hpfp lpfp downpipe from cat to catless meth (optional) spark plugs all oils.... need more,engine mounts

Doesn't stage 3 include an upgraded turbo? What's the difference between stage 2 and 3 in general - is it the same for all cars? Nice video!

[@KasamS]

Turbo is the main difference stage 2 tends to be intake exhaust and sometime intercooler

[@matthewmccullen3317]

I could buy a ep3 or fn2 type r for 6k then spend 20k on it and have 700hp-800hp with ease!!! But anyway your car is very nice bro! Good job

[@5372john]

BMW 140i with upgraded turbo would be less than £30000 total and be over 600hp

[@jamesr50]

100% a stage 1 with no mods gets more than 400 bhp and that’s stage 2 with mods on a golf r the m140i is so much cheaper to tune and get more gains

You could buy a modified evo with 500hp for 30k easy lol, but yer nice car looks lovely infact, I'm well jealous lol, I do think that you could have got your power figures without spending that much tho but yer the parts you've changed all do help to keep it reliable

[@stangtrax]

Some say stage 3 some say stage 2+, is there a clear answer? APR when I asked it's not a stage 3 until they go inside engine. What is the Horsepower and torque?

[@oliverread1107]

My understanding is stage 1 just a tune. Stage 2 is bolt ons and tune. Stage 3 is hybrid/turbo upgrade and stage3+ is internals

[@hugoigo4462]

What Oliver said, internals, but I believe he left out fueling. You’d need fueling upgrades: Fuel pump and multi port injection PM4 controller.

[@oliverread1107]

@@hugoigo4462 AFIK some golfs did come with factory MPI so probably just injectors and fuel pump

[@raykor85]

Is the bottom end and head stock? What is the risk of running Stage 3 on stock block?

[@MATTEEHH]

Good chunk of money but quality parts all over. There are old German saloons ect with the power but their engines cost 15k if they go compared to 3k so it is really hard to beat unless you go stage 1/2 RS3. Are you done now or do you have any more plans ?

Hows the drone with the carless DP?? I currently have a catted DP with cat back non res mid pipe. Need to know whether to change the DP to catless but all depends if it drones or not. Deal breaker.

[@antonyv8171]

AMEX decat or catted downpipe isn’t what decides drone. Your exhaust is. Whether you have a resonator or not in your catback/exhaust is the drone factor. Even running decat downpioe with non res catback is ok, slightest of drone at 3000rpm on motorway but not even enough to bother you

Amigo, great job on the build. Car looks amazing. Quick question for you. I have a 2017 Golf R w/APR stage 3+ turbo kit and an APR oil catch can. The car works great and a few months after installing the oil catch can there’s no oil in it. It doesn’t catch any oil. The car is being used as daily drives and weekends spirited driving. Any thoughts or input on that? Thank you in advance! Miguel from Oceanside California 😎

[@jamesr50]

miguel gutierrez awesome we cant get APR stage 3 over here, I’ve never had that issue it always catches oil yours is obviously fitted correctly do you have to top your oil up regular?

[@Master321v]

Same situation here..but this is no problem/issue! When daily driving/spirited driving on roads/highway also the oe pcv system can work well...when you go tracdays...extreme acx and decelartiin on sticky rubber...at that situations the catch can is game changer... Check my vid..when hgp480 passed me..than decelerate on Michelin Cup2 tyres and Movit bbk..lol without oil catch can.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJrFY3pvp9J4mMk

[@ecoshine2012]

James Amigo, thank you for the reply. I Check the oil regularly and it’s fine. Only 3k miles after a fresh oil change I might have to add about 4 oz of oil ( not much ). I suppose that is normal considering the work the engine puts down while doing pulls every so often 😁. Miguel from Oceanside California

True you can be stage3 at 420-450bhp but that’s just pointless may aswell stay Stage 2 as for the oil catch can I wouldn’t want to run it with out

[@bones0184]

ScotchEgg Catch cans are highly recommended for direct injection motors, blow by can cause carbon buildup on the valves and that is no Bueno so putting one on the PCV side can help alleviate that also if you put one on the cranky side it can prevent oil from being introduced into your inner cooler which may cause higher charge temps.

[@BLAZINGINGPHOENIX]

Damn £480 for a catch can that's alot lol it's cheaper just to top it up with oil lol 🤣🤣

[@pvtghost24]

The point of a catch can is to catch and prevent bad residuals from going back into oil system.
