[@SPOOLINUP]

Sweet mate so you have the AUQ engine code then I assume your car is a 6 speed as well? My plan was to buy a banger and get second hand parts to build a cheap car for a laugh. Sounds like your car already has some good bits on it. Buy second hand parts, it will save you the money as they are cheap and readily available. A lot of people break cars and you could buy yourself a few bits. In the end once you have had fun with it for a bit, if you decide to sell you would have barely lost anything. You sound excited, stage 2 has been fun mate, it's been two months and I still enjoy it a lot.

[@jamesmorton-m6tzo396]

@@SPOOLINUP Yeah AUQ and 6 speed, funny enough i have been on ebay looking at people who are breaking modded MK4's, found a full set of adjustable coil overs for £120 and a front mount intercooler + install kit for £140 so your bang on there, BTW your car looks awesome mate

Been following for a while now mate. Probably, stupidly bought a rusty one for 400 notes last year and have been using some of your vids to bring her back to life. Hopefully one day she looks and goes as good as this. Your engine bay delete vid was invaluable last week. Glad you finally got there, Well done mate! #savethemk4

Darren, thanks mate appreciate your support. I'm glad the videos have helped you and I'm sure your project is coming along nicely. It was a good idea to buy it and im sure you are having fun and that's what matters. £400 is a steal as well! These will go up in value I am sure. Make sure with your EVAP delete that you don't block it in the engine bay like I did, if you have then take the cap off and let it vent to atmosphere. Good luck #savethemk4

[@chriscringle9263]

Love these uploads mate. I have 1999 gti with the AEB engine code unfortunately not as much can be done due to the throttle cable think it was about 2001 that they removed that. I have added the same airfilter as your one. But gave problems with the mass sensor due to heat. ☹️☹️☹️☹️. Such a lovely car to drive daily even though just a 5 speed manual. Would love to have more than the stock 150bhp. Even though after 23 years I can't see it being that much any more 🤣🤣🤣

[@SPOOLINUP]

Chris, thanks for you comment man I appreciate it. Sorry to hear you had the problems after installing the Ram Air, did you still have problems even with the heat shield? What about if you use the air box and just have a performance panel filter? I know there is a conversion that you could do if wanted for the throttle. I'm glad you still love the car though and there are some cool mods you can still do. Good luck either way brother

[@chriscringle9263]

@@SPOOLINUP no thank you for getting back to me mate. So basically I lost all power about 400 miles into installing it. The position of the sensor is different to the post non cable throttle ones. And it literally burnt out the sensor. My friend sorted it for me I'll find out what the part was that went and post it up for you. For anyone else that has similar problem. U was tempted with a range 1 remap by revo it brings it up to 180bhp. But to be honest the old girl has done 130k and personally I'm a bit worried incase the extra power causes other problems with the engin due to age etc .. I think I'm gonna go down the route of spending a bit of money on the look. On the hunt for a nice second hand set of alloys love the fat 5 on the Audi's but not sure if the fitment is the same and some spacers and lowering slightly. Was watching the other vids with the water leak I had one on rear drivers side top of the door thought it may been from sunroof but was the seal around door luckily

[@SPOOLINUP]

I understand, that's a bit frustrating but it doesn't matter as you can still enjoy the car. You don't need a Ram Air induction kit to have fun. A lot of Mk4 GTIs have high mileage and I see people getting them mapped all the time but never see what happens a few hundred miles in. I do however know that these engines are strong if looked after. 180bhp would be sweet mate, you can have a health check on your engine if you are ever tempted and then go for it. Those Audi alloys are cool, I like them too and the RS6 C5 alloys are nice I think they are a little wider but not sure. I was so frustrated with my water leak in the car but so happy to sort it in the end. I'm glad you found yours too

Mines on 189k now and still spot on, these are actually really reliable once you replace the age related items and service regularly. Mines 2003 Revo stage 1 pushing just over 200 but pulls hard on boost. Still feels fast even after being in my tuned to the gills 2000 Impreza

They really are great cars, mine has never once let me down. As long as they are kept well and maintained, they still look great too. I'm impressed that yours is still spot on but I'm not surprised, mine should keep going as long as I continue to take care of it. Your car sounds nice, what is the spec? Colour etc? Also what mods have you done?

[@chrisjohnson3906]

@*SPOOLIN UP* 100% aslong as taken care of not driven hard from cold and serviced regularly etc the 1.8t is super reliable. Mines black, unfortunately 5 door but good spec heated leathers air con climate control cruise control etc. I've kept it generally OEM+ just with k&n inside the air box, stage 1 revo map, MEYLE shocks, lowered on H&Rs, brembo grooved discs and pads. Just done all the brake lines copper nickel in the last year along with braided hoses. Wouldn't mind a lower mileage 3 door one to hang onto tho

[@SPOOLINUP]

Good news then, I always let my car warm up and have services annually. I trust this car a lot. To be honest I trust it more since it's been modified. Mate, the fact that it is 5 door in my opinion is as cool as 3 door, they both offer different things and serve their purpose. I've never cared about the number of doors. Your car is a much better spec than mine as well, a high spec MK4 is lovely . That's good, mate. OEM+ is cool to me, if I had an anniversary, I would have to go OEM+ with most mods hidden or subtle.

@@SPOOLINUP that’s the main thing, I guess some 1.8T owners don’t worry about maintenance and upkeep so that will be what sets it apart from other ones.

super nice video! i myself got a mk4 gti as my first car and i love it so much! Im doing heavy repairs atm tho, got t-boned in the back side :( Do you have any tips for good first tuning, what should i start with? :))

[@SPOOLINUP]

Hey, hope you are well. Sorry to hear about the accident but I'm glad you are happy with the car 👍🏽. I would say that the first thing you need to do before any tuning is make sure the car is mechanically solid. Fix any oil leaks, water leaks, vacuum leaks and get it running really nice. If I was to start again I would get the engine bay deletes done first like the EVAP, SAI, N249 and fit a catch can to the PCV system. Not only will this future proof your car for potential vacuum leaks but it frees up so much space in the engine bay, it looks miles better and gives you much more room to install your future mods. Then I would fit a Ram Air induction kit and oversized turbo inlet pipe to start. Good luck with the repairs 🙏🏾

[@Djiel]

Nice man! Sounds like you're very pleased with the result :D The pops and bangs are a bit excessive for my personal preference but good stuff. Judging from your explanation it was mapped driving on the road, so no proper power figure? Not that it really matters much, just curious how much you managed to get out of all the mods. Something I see every time, when people get it mapped, is they say the difference is absolute night and day.. this makes me excited for the future of my Leon haha.

[@SPOOLINUP]

Yes I am very pleased indeed as I've waited a long time. Luckily if you want a quiet drive you can still have one. So the car was mapped on the road, a power figure can be calculated roughly based on a reading taken from the MAF but when we went to do it someone pulled out on me and almost killed us. I will be going to a dyno day soon. I too heard about how different the car is, its like it has finally woken up. As soon as I get a chance I will get a dyno done and a video. You should be excited for the Leon!! Epic

For having a dub yiu automatically get a like. That said for anyone who looks at performance and have a vw/audi 1.8t save yourself.obey and skip the wasteful CAI. You will gain virtually nothing but extra whizz noises and a lighter pocket. Does it help spooling your turbo faster sure but how fast do you think your little turbo needs to spool eh. Because you're a roos the pond I'm not familiar with all the laws but if you're going to do a 3" DP might as well do it right with the accompanying full 3" mandrel bend cat back system. Our cars respond very well to a nice tune of 18-20psi and all the supporting mods to keep it reliable. No silly blowoff valves that lose power or unnecessary boost controllers because you think you have a Subaru or a Honda.

[@SPOOLINUP]

Thanks man I appreciate the like from you. I know these cars aren't performance cars but you can get a nice little thrill from time to time if you drive them on the right roads. As for my car I bought what I could second hand to save money, which is a great way to do it. No point in spending thousands on all brand new parts unless you want a show car. The car has a great map on it now and she's flying compared to before. I'm surprised the car has the legs to do what it does. These old VAGs are cheap in the UK.

[@SPOOLINUP]

Thanks Shyam brother appreciate your comment and support also. I asked the tuner if I should change it but he said I don't need to. I looked in the box and I think the yellow one is in the DV as it wasn't in the box. They are not painted very well and I have a colour sight deficiency so I'm not 100%.

Looks real nice. I'm just wondering how the car handles all that power. Mine isn't stage 2 yet and I have good tires, lowering springs, poly dog bone bushings (really helped with wheel hop), plus an Audi S3 upper front brace, which also helps a bit with handling, yet sometimes I really feel like I can't utilize all the power I have. Can't imagine what it will be like at stage 2.

[@SPOOLINUP]

Thanks mate. Well the car is on coilovers set quite low, Audi TT ARB and aftermarket links which aren't special, the dog bone has poly bushes too, tyres aren't special but the car doesn't handle too badly. When you say you can't utilise the power what are you referring to? Wheelspin?, corner speeds?, understeer?

[@ManweruEmanuilov]

@@SPOOLINUP Wheelspin yeah and just needing to be conservative with your speed in and out of corners. Getting the impression that these cars don't need that much power, or maybe I just can't drive idk. I was looking into some front and rear ARB kits, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea on a car I daily a good amount. Not sure if you've considered an ARB kit with thicker bars.

[@SPOOLINUP]

I'm not sure to be honest as I don't really push my car that hard a lot as im in a built up area. I've got plenty of grip though in and out of corners and the car doesn't spin that much when it is dry. I have thought about a rear ARB kit and perfecting the suspension setup I have, I will do it soon. Maybe you have a lead foot in and out of corners, maybe back off the throttle a little 😉

[@SPOOLINUP]

Hey man, to be honest I am not 100% sure. If you get a nice completely standard car that has high mileage but has been looked after and serviced you could just do the engine bay deletes to get rid of some of the old hoses and pipes that may split or already be split. I think you could end up with a nice car. I wouldn't buy a modified one with higher mileage but that's just me. I see Tuning Technics mapping cars with high mileage, these cars are old now.

Hi, thats right mate I know, however there is a cold air feed there that used to work with the old air box. The heat shield would certainly keep some of that colder air from the feed blowing past the filter and contain it slightly.

Tyres for my 3SDM wheels maybe, I've had a rear seat delete kit which is a false floor with a cargo net sitting here for ages too so that needs to be installed, I would like to change my front seats and door cards too because they are the most basic ones you can get in a GTI, not even leather or Recaro lol.

@@SPOOLINUP luckily there are OEM options for the MK4! Keep up the good work with the videos!

[@SPOOLINUP]

Take off the pops and bangs. I love it when the car does it naturally, like when you shift just right my bam 225 goes bang without pop and bang and over run. It's too chavy and too much. Love the car ❤ just don't like the pops. Also not good for turbo ❤

[@SPOOLINUP]

@daleevans9029 I've thought about getting them removed, but the car is just a bit of fun for me to be honest mate. It's an occasional drive for me. What is the setup on your BAM?

[@splitloopgaming3523]

wow this sounds so bad with that pop

[@SPOOLINUP]

In between the gear change?

[@1mad_bug]

Does it have a stock exhuast ? Just removed the resonator?

[@SPOOLINUP]

I have a 3" decat and downpipe going into a 2.5" stainless exhaust system. It was fully customised by the previous owner and sold to me. So it a full system from turbo back.
