I Upgraded The Turbo | VW GTI

[@mustuphakhan8580]

Jewel is probably the only MK7 guy who will show us in depth what he builds , keep it coming amazing content love it

[@ruelbennett1383]

Can a mk7gti exhaust manifold work with a mk4 gti 1.8? I would love to use that turbo/ manifold on my mk4 if possible. Please let me know.

[@OvercomeSKILLZ]

he is a genuine down to earth guy. I truly admire this guy because he is humble and easy going

[@BraynerBR]

you mentioned that you wanted to try this before going to another plataform, PLEASE dont get rid of the GTI, your build is my dream, it would be very sad to see it gone!!!! or get a golf R and i will be happy af!! i own a mk6 and slowly saving money and doing upgrades!

[@alchemyst9821]

I love how clean the car looks even with all the upgrades

[@Zzcount]

Looks stock except IC, turbo and intake… not bashing… surprised to see stock intake manifold

[@Mk7_kev]

White silver metallic is the best VW color, simply put 🤩

It is a good color.

Jewels is a shark ( big fish) damn those upgrades explain why you make hellcats look like your racing a stock gti big up bro not many are generous enough with their info .

[@shanemeh]

Hyped for more roll nights. Getting my stage 1 IE tune this weekend!

[@JewelCity1]

The Jump from Stock to stage 1 is a nice gap. Enioy

[@seanoneil6054]

Gonna have to start following this build, here cause the race you did with Freshkicks. I have an 8v S3, just went to a stage 2 full e85 tune, would love to get an IS38Hybrid turbo in some day. This car is badass man, VERY tastefully modded

[@YT_d4ily]

Knew straight away it was your gti on freshkickz channel, good pulls

[@tredfxman]

Seems like a pretty neat sweet spot mate! Good luck on the build! 👍

[@JewelCity1]

Definitely a fun spot

[@1FastMKVSupra]

You're getting near the stock internals limit for dependability before *boom*.....make sure you're keeping an eye on knock.

[@josephvilla4946]

Can you make a video of how much everything was and put a pic and what exactly the part is plz

[@taylor9255]

So 26psi making 320 hp on my 1.8 polo with gt2260 isn’t bad ? I’m just getting into euros and when I heard it was running 26psi my heart dropped lol

You are on another level my son. GOLF superiority!!

[@dood84]

Hey man been watching you vids for a while and they’ve been great . I have a 19 GTI as well and run e85, have u had issues with your continental injectors blowing the Teflon seals? I’ve replaced two and finally went to the older bosch from the 2017 and earlier gtis.

[@Thrills1.1]

It’s your tune

[@______abraham]

The continental injectors have been known to prematurely fail especially when running e85. You should be good with Bosch injectors. And no, a tune has nothing to do with blowing Teflon seals

[@moheel7022]

What clutch are you running atm? I got a mk7 that needs a clutch soon. Saw you ran the sachs clutch on your mk7 and was wondering if you went a different route with the mk7.5.

[@jbm119jbm]

Just noticed you upgraded battery as well. Go have some fun!!!

[@FSTEGG]

Planning to go Vortex soon🔥🔥

Hey I’m sorry if you’ve posted this somewhere else but I really only watch your KZbin and I’m wondering if you could send me a Full mod list part for part. I have a 2021 dsg GTI. I love the channel keep the content coming🙏🏽❗️

[@LucasSi919]

hey what's up jewel! I've been watching you're videos for a while now, love the content , love the car! i sold my Audi, which was the 2nd car we had in the household. loved that car but need another canyon carver, weekend car and was thinking of going back to my roots and buying another GTI (GTI was the first car i ever had). i wanted to ask how is reliability with the mods because i def will be modding mine and also am consiuding a 20-21 GTI with the DSG. Any experience with the DSG, how much TQ it can handle etc. thank you :) keep uip the amazing work!

[@JewelCity1]

Reliability with mods isn’t bad. Don’t worry about the dsg tq, it can handle more than the engine

[@LucasSi919]

@@JewelCity1 thank you for the reply. I was thinking is38 with FBO as a daily, is that too much?

[@JewelCity1]

@@LucasSi919 it’s a good spot for a daily especially if you do more hwy driving than city

[@Cannamaine]

Im sure you answered it but how much did the turbo setup cost you? Dis you opt for the balanced wastegate and high flow discharge bundle? $2600?

[@dalesmit7869]

hi, what battery are you using? Do you save alot of weight? Thanks Dale

[@1stockmk7]

Hey man I’m new to the GTI I plan on getting one this month I been trying to piece together a good maintenance and mod list soo ik where to start when I get one

[@JewelCity1]

Here’s a good starting point for mods: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKS0aolueLh0hrs Maintenance will depend on mileage but oil changes, spark plugs, etc is always a good idea after purchasing

[@ronburgundy4375]

The titanium one is the way to go they're lighter will never rust sound the best and don't cost a whole lot

[@veeno96]

Great video! Keep the content coming :D

[@MK7MENACE]

what you do for the battery? tons of space right there

[@drewholubecki4401]

in your opinion, would you consider a 400whp vortex std on 93 reliable for a daily? I bet it'd be fine as a weekend car but worried for a daily. Or am i better off going is38. No E in my area, 93 is my only option.

[@JewelCity1]

If you’re not beating on it after every red light, it would be reliable like a stock car. More headroom on the vortex if you decide to add e85 later.

[@05pharmd]

So now having the XL for a while now, are you happy, or would you have made the leap further up or is this as big as you would go on stock motor? If you control TQ you can make even more HP safely (traction may be the downside).

[@JewelCity1]

I enjoy my current setup. Good balance between hp and spool.

[@05pharmd]

​@@JewelCity1how much power do you think you gained (or would gain) by going from 3" carless DP to 4" on your Vortex XL? And did/would you adjust the tune for that change?

How much does the car weigh?

[@ilushamelnichuk6316]

Hey so I have a mk7 gti. I'm guessing your 4 inch downpipe is from Trackslag. I have a couple questions. Do you see any faster spool time? Also does it come catless or is it catted. Is there a big difference in sound or not so much. I'm also going to guess you can probably get pops and crackles without a tune. Love your car.

How’s the ride quality and comfort compared to something like an older 2014 Audi A3 1.8 with S-line suspension ?

[@JewelCity1]

Can’t comment on the Audi but this golf drives smooth enough to daily, with stiff enough handling characteristics when going on the twisties. Coilovers would make it more aggressive on stiffness if need-be.

Typhoon is much larger and is really only for built engines

At the moment I’m running the is38 with E50 on my GTI I’m thinking of getting the EQT XL is it mandatory to get the Lpfp mpi or can I just the XL get a tune and latter get the Lpfp and mpi

[@JewelCity1]

You might be able to tune without, but the turbo will be limited since you didn’t upgrade fueling. So it all depends if you’re okay with that.
