Love the get to the "bloody" point approach, high energy and time lapse installs....magic! Cheers from across the "pond".

[@SChapps]

The arch gap you’ve got now is spot on, I don’t get why people like the tyre to literally be tucked under the arch and how some people can live with the tyre rubbing just for the sake of it looking a certain way

[@albertwilson279]

For anyone wanting to do the intercooler , you don't need to remove the rad pack or the headlights. The bed doesn't need to be undone either, mark the prop shaft before removing it so it goes back on in the original position, then tie it up to the passenger side ( it is a squeeze but possible to still remove the DP) If you live in the NE of England I can help with these hardware installations.

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Nice mods Mat. Defo one of my favourite channels at the minute. 👍

[@Zed_Zone]

Man your knowledge is awesome...loved the commentary on what you were doing. Thanks for that

[@Shawzlbot]

Best build on KZbin Right now! BTW Matt, you do not require a cat-back. All you need is a Resonator delete, changing over the valves is a pain! The standard cat-back is perfectly fine

[@AllOutNoobHater]

Being a GTI owner, you didn't even need to buy an entire air intake system. Upgrade the piping from the stock box, upgrade turbo inlet pipe, cut out the plates blocking off airflow through the front grille, install backing plate to the left side of the front grille induction piece, remove snow guard, and install a high airflow filter.

[@nowoapy]

Done the same on my 7.5 R xD does the exact same

[@neilmaxwell6558]

I absolutely loved this car at the time .cause i had a mk5 golf and still have it .mine took on a whole new look at the time of mat and team building his golf r . Cheers mat your inspiring a nation 👍

[@Staufi82]

Hi Mat, I work in the development of driving dynamics in Munich (I think you guess which company this could be :) ) and everytime you change springs, damper or install custom rims it is a horror for me to watch. We put so much development into it to make it fit for all damping situations (from fully compressed to fully decompressed). It is not as easy as all those custom upgrade dudes think it is ;). That your tires are scrubbing in the wheelhouse is only one issue. It could also be that cables or your brake hose could get damaged. Just for your information - keep a look onto all of your cars now and again. Anyway - nice job and very interesting what you are doing :). Keep it up (and pls take white or yellow for your Mucrielago :D )

[@moody_mage3724]

Really enjoyed the voice over the fitting process. It often gets glossed over but I think it really adds to the video

[@alexvaldes8445]

Love new R goodies...... The content is excellent..... Stage 2 tune is fast..... Coming along nicely..... Way to go Matt on getting dirty and no fear on doing just about everything on the Vdub..... You and Hannah simply kick ass!! 👍

[@scroatymcscroatbottom8596]

Matt - could you get the guys at Mallory to dyno the golf before the Stage 2 remap. I'd like to know what HP / Torque gains you have seen with just the addition of the airbox and the down-pipe. I assume there will be minimal gains based on previous induction work, but you never know. Then do the Stage 2 remap.

[@scroatymcscroatbottom8596]

Albeit, if you'd done a Stage 1 remap, dyno, Stage 2 remap, dyno, airbox and downpipe, dyno ... it would have given us a good view of what tuning mods work. I kinda know what works but don't want to put out a spoiler.

[@arronlowley5659]

Hi matt, when it comes to the ea888 gen 3 platform, exhaust choice really is key, there are so many offerings but, a lot of them end up being too droney. when it comes to having a decat rather than a sports cat, id advise you to get a resonated system, otherwise it will become unbearable. racingline make some great products, dont know much about the intercooler but it must be decent, wagner is usually the go to. I know you know your cars quite well, but just to be on the safe side, if you end up driving this for a while before the stage 2 tune, make sure you drive it sensible, the is38 found in these cars are pretty sh*t turbos and with it not being tuned for the decat it will overboost and with that comes throttle closure, biggest killer of the is38.

[@jonnyyoung3404]

Hey mat just binge watching all your builds as only just found your channel, just wondering if we missed the part where you had to put a plastic sump back in the car as I swear it was metal before? Keep up the great work and enthusiasm
