That’s awesome man, I just recently sold my 6th gen SS to get my mk7 Autobahn. Never thought I’d be able to hit modern V8 levels of performance with the stock turbo and some e85 😳 This definitely has me exited for the future of my car! How’s the car been holding up with all the mods?

[@JacesOwnWorld]

Bro, I am right there with you. I like my car being quiet when just driving, but then loud to be heard when getting aggressive. That’s why I chose to keep my MK7 GTI exhaust stock, except for my catless downpipe, and then for the loud part, I had an exhaust cutout welded into my downpipe. This way it’s pretty civilized with the cutout closed, but when open, it’s extremely loud, but more importantly to me, it sounds different than 99.9% of other MK7 GTI’s out there, as my cutout dumbs directly to the ground. This gives it an echo’ing sound that you cannot get with an aftermarket exhaust. When it pops, it’s real popping, and not this fake “pop and bang” stuff that needs a tuner to make that sound. I have a few videos of my cutout open and closed, in-cabin and outside footage, driving and not driving, windows down windows up...I’ve done it all and you can view it on my channel if you want. I used an ECS Tuning 3” exhaust cutout. And yes, it does shoot 🔥

[@Grohss]

lol 2 yrs ago but what cutout did you use? Thanks!

[@VanquishMediaDE]

Most racing fuels are based on E-85, I strongly recommend that one has a tune and potentially even rubber hoses replacement if you are going to run E-85 very often, the ethanol over time can break down the rubber compounds found in most fuel lines/hoses. I have seen people run E85 in their BMW (or other german brand cars) and for a while, it will not have trouble, however, if you do not have the proper hoses and you will eventually run into some problems.

[@andrewstone2806]

Ethanol based fuels also decrease exhaust life as it burns at hotter temps

[@JacesOwnWorld]

I don’t know what turbo you are/were running when you made this video, but if you were IS20, yeah, you wouldn’t be able to keep up entirely with V8 muscle cars. Maybe in low gears 2-3, but once 4th and up gear hits, the muscle cars will start pulling on you. I have been Stage 2 IS20 and tried. Fun, but just not enough. When you go IS38 or bigger, you will start competing better, but that will depend on the tuner/tuner and fuel.

[@brianbachmann3337]

The word your looking for is torque, I think, when you’re talking about that low end power on the 91 vs e85 power

[@birminghamblueheat4986]

Hey brother, I know this is an older video, but hopefully you'll still see this. I"ve been a subscriber of yours for about 3 years and man I love your content. I have a question... I'm currently running a eqt stage 2 93 octane tune, have a IE catted downpipe, Neuspeed FMIC and CAI, also have an Apr TCU tune. How much hp would I net from swapping from 93 octane tune to e85 tune? Thanks in advance

[@JewelCity1]

A stock turbo e85 tune will put you around ~350-360whp. Depends how hard you want to push it. Get 1 step colder spark plugs if you haven’t already.

[@birminghamblueheat4986]

@@JewelCity1 It’s probably about time for me to replace the Denso’s. I think I probably have about 320-330 whp with the EQT stage 2, so the hpfp and e85 tune will net me 20-30 more hp? I use this vehicle for my daily driver also, so I don’t want to get too crazy, so as far as I’ll probably go with this vehicle will be is38 upgrade and upgraded fueling. Once it hits its last lick, I’ll follow your lead and get a S3.. more maybe a R, haven’t thought quite that far yet.

[@silviodante5829]

@@birminghamblueheat4986I’ve had the eqt is38+ and the vortex xl on my mk7.5 and the is38 isn’t much of a difference from is20. Sure it has a little more power up top in the rpm range but, it doesn’t necessarily feel that noticeable. I since went back to is20 stage 2 eqt on my mk7.5 and actually enjoy it much more now. I’d say just go stage 2 e85 and you would be happy. Definitely a big difference in performance compared to 91 or 93 octane.

[@birminghamblueheat4986]

@@silviodante5829 Thanks brother I think I’m going to do just that. Should I get the whole hpfp or just the pump internals?

[@silviodante5829]

@@birminghamblueheat4986 get the entire hpfp that’s already assembled. Too many things can go wrong when installing yourself. Just makes it much easier and reliable considering it was professionally put together.

[@Zcypot]

whats the wall you hit on GTIs for making power? Not familiar with the platform. For me im pushing it with 500whp and stock block w/ Forged internals

[@JewelCity1]

There’s some built motor cars hitting 700whp with bigger turbos. Porting the head also helps get to that number with less boost.

[@Zcypot]

@@JewelCity1 what would handle the power better DSG or manual ? I used to follow some dude that swapped for an 8speed but he never showed how much he was making. It was fast though.

[@taylor9255]

Does it make it less daily able being on e85? Cold starts etc ?

[@JewelCity1]

Cold start cranking may take a bit longer depending on your local weather but overall drives like stock with more power under full throttle

I was told that once the PCM is flashed regardless if they are searching for it or not, if they plug the car in at the dealer it automatically "scans" for the number of flashes, and if it doesn't match what VW has on record it throws the TD1 flag. What did you need to go to the dealer for?

High and probably low pressure fuel as well for the slightly larger Is38 turbo. Could also add multi port if upgrading turbo

Integrated Engineering has a stage 1 tune that only needs a high-pressure fuel pump and a flex-fuel sensor. And if you want to do their stage 2 all you have to add is a downpipe and you can get 460hp on e85.
