MK7.5 GTI EQT Stage 2 vs EQT IS38 Turbo Upgrade

[@COMotorsports]

More powerzz.

[@maskedrl37]

how much psi does that particular tune push (the is38 one)?

[@Deltamag-m5c]

Basically this is the k03 → k04 swap of the modern era, but it never gets old!

Ya kinda the same

Yes but better

I get excited when I see you guys have uploaded! I’m local from CH I got a city golf but before the face lift so it’s a true mk4 2.slow 😎

[@jameslynn2357]

You guys are solid and i really enjoy your content. Seems like you really like the 1.8t. I do too. If you could do a proper 1.8t SAI and garbage, proper delete vid, that be great....for off public road comp purposes of course. If you have already done this, I apologize for asking. I have looked all over the tube and everything I have found leaves much to be desired.

[@COMotorsports]

That information is readily available on the internet already.

[@MozzarellaBasket]

@@COMotorsports there will always be a demand for simple and easy-to-understand videos like those. One of those videos will easily pull in many thousands of views and can act as an intro to the channel. If you guys make an SAI, EVAP etc delete video it will pay off.

[@korey420]

That on 91.. a good e30 tune get a is38 400 to the wheels

[@Carguylogan]

​​@@korey420 The only is38 cars that have done 400+ on an accurate dyno were E85. E30 isnt gonna pick up 55 whp. EQT uses pretty much all the boost regardless of fuel, they just increase timing. My GTI has an is38 and is custom flex tuned, ive run up to E40 and it doesnt make 400 on a dyno i trust. It would 100% make 400 on a couple dynos i've used in the past with other cars but it aint accurate.

[@05pharmd]

​@@CarguyloganTo your point, it's probably better to talk 60-130 or quarter mile trap speeds if we want a more apples to apples comparison due to Dyno variation. But it think when it comes to knowing the capabilities of a setup there are enough of these to go around to have a decent range of expectations. It's a nice set up for sure, esp for the money if your on E.

[@adamg3911]

Love your content.

[@kevinforman251]

Hi fellas I really really love your videos and I subscribe to your channel anyway I have a 2017 Volkswagen Passat our line with the 1.8 L turbo my wastegate turbo actuator has gone bad I was thinking about doing an I S 38 upgrade can you possibly leave me in a good direction to purchase one that will fit my car or would you just suggest for me to get the actuator repaired?

[@COMotorsports]

@@kevinforman251 if you want more power than fixing the actuator won't do that, if you do then an is38 is a good answer.

Great info as I am currently deciding on the is38+ myself. What fuel is the car running ? Pump 91 or 93 or E?

[@natepike3211]

Normally they run everything on pump 91. They don’t have 93 in that area.

[@SKYRIDR]

@@natepike3211 amazing. Wish you guys be closer to do my install. But I am now fully committed on this is38+ venture.

[@Tagomago12]

From across the pond, nice car but the positioning of the harness anchor point needs moving to be safe.

[@dyllman98]

i noticed you guys dont have any mk8 tuning vids!? willing to sacrifice my mk8 for a stage 3 tune lol

[@COMotorsports]

We tune them from time to time, but covid killed MK8's sales around here when they came out as they were impossible to get. So they're slow to get to the modification stage here. In fact I may see one MK8 a week in my travels, they're just not as plentifully.

[@jekaconstantinov6027]

My gti with a is38 and custom tune made 420 whp on E48

[@christophercruz8YS3]

Ever dragy it 60-130?

[@myrx2]

Thats like comparing apples to oranges mate. Of course yours will make more with a custom tune and E48

This shii sick🔥

[@BOOSTEDDUDE]

Did you change the tune when you went from the stock turbo to the IS38? Pretty awesome GTI with some nice upgrades. I really like that Corn flower blue!

[@COMotorsports]

Definitely requires a software change

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

I would love to see a compound setup on a GTI or Golf R. I imagine the engine would need a good bit of internal work done to handle it, but that would be a sick project! ... and I wish I had the money for it 😂

[@JoelOuelletteGuitar]

It’s surprising to me how much tq the is20 makes while hp is still below 300. I have a mk6 gti with the k04 and from your other videos it seems like it’s closer to equal hp/tq numbers. Maybe 310/310? How would this stage 2 compare to a mk6 k04 car? Obviously waaaay torquier but would it be slower if hp is down?

[@COMotorsports]

We've made similar torque on K04's as these on the right setup. The engine (fsI weak rods) or fueling (TSI or FSI) tend to be the limitation. The standard 2.0T K04 will make close to these numbers on a setup that can support it.

[@robertoacuapa5010]

So what would you say 93 with a is38 how much horsepower more

[@KD_VRT]

Guys regarding the break in period of an engine that's been rebuild with bigger forged pistons/rods/valves/etc (in this case a VR) how many kilometres/miles should be covered and at what interval would you recommend the oil changes be as well?

[@COMotorsports]

We basically do a heat cycle, change oil then break engine in on dyno making peak power.

[@eduardogonzalez7743]

What is the wheel setup and specs, looks really good?

[@COMotorsports]

@@eduardogonzalez7743 no clue

[@timmiller22]

Say you have an intercooler, downpipe, exhaust, and running stage 2 eqt tuning with the dsg tuning from eqt, intake, turbo inlet. Can you throw a is38 on it and run 93 tune?

[@COMotorsports]

With a proper tune yes.

[@gleaminx]

I'm surprised the customer went with a EQT IS38+ over a Vortex or XL considering he paid for the labor. I'd expect the overall cost of parts and labor was in the $7-8k range?

[@Pas_Quattro]

The price difference between a Vortex and an IS38+ is SUBSTANTIALLY wide in terms of margins. All options for the latter runs shy of $2k. The Vortex in the same sense is more than double the cost. I'm in the same boat with my A3 and for the sake of cost, the IS38 on E on OCCASION is plenty for me as a daily commuter

[@05pharmd]

Anyone know which CF mirror caps he went with on this car?

[@JShayy]

Different car on your dyno Apr is38 did 322whp and 348wtq….eqt ftw

[@COMotorsports]

A lot of it has to do with mods. Or highest HP is38 so far has been 351whp on 91oct and that was with APR. So focus on mods.

[@JShayy]

@@COMotorsports awesome. I’ve ran both and both are powerful!

[@JShayy]

Are the whp and wtq lines soo smooth at the end because they are an average of the runs?

[@COMotorsports]

Nope that's just a proper tune for the fuel that it's running.

[@rileywagner6741]

I just put an is38 in mine, do you need the hpfp? And is there a difference in power between stock hpfp and upgraded?

[@COMotorsports]

It all comes down to the fuel you plan on running. If you plan on running E then you will require more fuel.

[@premierBASS]

Where are you guys located ?

[@quiksilver330]

What kind of wheels are those???

[@lukasplucinsky]

What turbo upgrade would you recommend on a MK6 Golf GTI

[@COMotorsports]

All depends on power goals, and budget. Fueling becomes the expensive part with those.

[@korey420]

Thats on 91 right? I know a e30 tuned is38 makes 400 to the wheels (give or take)

[@COMotorsports]

91oct.

[@jameslynn2357]

@@COMotorsports e30 and e85 is stupid and garbage. You won't be able to find it in the near future, so go head and tune to a fuel that wont exist in a couple years.

[@youtubejunkie8053]

I’m surprised the Is38 is only pushing 345whp on a Dynojet. I’m getting 380whp with the CTS ko4x on my Mk6. I’m. guessing it’s the OTS tune, let Alex from Stratified get ahold of it!! 🤪

it 100% is not, but if you plan on running E to take full advantage of what the IS38 has to offer than yes.

Ok so O have a pretty important question..... do you trust the EQT system enough to tell me with confidence that i can order their turbo, software and and Cobb and I'm not going to have a mountain of issues. I have year of modding experience building like 100 plus different turbo cars and I do so tuning of standalone. But never done software. I live iniddle east and im super disappointed in the local shop that did my software for my mk7 2019 GTI. I want to do it myself now. ​@COMotorsports

Wow, that's about what my Uni stage 2 Mk8 sits at. No tcu tune yet, so I can't hit the 361 hp that they claim, probably sitting between 325 and 330 hp as is. Can't wait to put a p-max turbo on after the tcu gets unlocked.
