Very solid content, too. You've earned a sub. from me. Looking forward to all of your builds man, keep it up.

[@supercarmio]

Thank you so much for the compliments and sub. you da man!

[@TheRebuilt1]

Subscribed, great taste in cars and love the FC RX7 We have a lot of the same cars except the RX7, great content and work sire.

[@supercarmio]

Appreciate that man, thanks for the support!

[@creeker81]

Great content bro

[@supercarmio]

Thanks man :)

[@doctorlobsteroctopus]

Man you really have a wide variety of cars, a great selection too. Also, you look slightly like Ethan from H3H3 haha.

[@supercarmio]

Haha I can see the resemblance, that's hilarious! Thanks man

[@harrisonyoung6115]

Awesome video, I have wondered what these exhausts where like to install. How have the gaskets held up, that was one thing, I heard went out early?

[@supercarmio]

Thanks man, appreciate that! 🙌 So far so good - no leaks or anything like that. If they do go out at some point I'd probably replace them w/ something from Vibrant.

[@baubaa1417]

yo, love the wheels. where did you get them? and also what tires fit them?

[@supercarmio]

thanks man! they actually came off my evo 8 (oem enkeis) - 235/45R17 tires.

[@Osnmr]

Exelent video

[@supercarmio]

Thank you buddy! 🙌

[@Osnmr]

@@supercarmio i see the other video batery remove omg is clean perfect great job best i follow you now i want so looking for more video in gti

[@supercarmio]

@@Osnmr Thank you for following! I just released one on superwrapping the gti's wheels, check it out. 💪

[@seand1701]

I saw you linked the O2 sensor that you got. Did you just order 1 and only install it on the pre-cat or was it both?? (Might be a dumb question)

[@supercarmio]

Not a dumb question at all! I just replaced the pre-cat o2, as my cat efficiency is deleted from my tune (no need for the post o2 sensor).

[@seand1701]

supercarmio gotcha! Do you know if that 02 sensor that you linked would work for both pre and post cat sensors?

[@supercarmio]

@@seand1701 I know they are different, 5 pins vs 4 iirc. I believe the post is 16121

[@seand1701]

supercarmio thank you!!

[@seand1701]

Just installed the exhaust today! Thanks again for answering my questions! Sounds amazing for $150

[@gabejacobs9048]

what exhaust is it? I bought a 3" catless downpipe on amazon but hooked it up to the rest of the stock exhaust and it needs to be louder!!

[@supercarmio]

Yeah you'll def need to open it up with a 3" full exhaust! I think the brand was tsudo, but all of the 3" exhausts on ebay for the 1.8t seem pretty similar.

[@gabejacobs9048]

@@supercarmio thanks for the reply!

[@marigoldmechanic]

Hey can you tell me what brand of intercooler piping is that?

[@supercarmio]

Sure - it's a street Eurojet FMIC kit. They went out of a business a few years ago but it seems like they might be back? runeurojet.com/shop/intercooler/eurojet-ej401-m10-02-01-mk4-1-8t-gti-gli-front-mount-intercooler-street/

[@marigoldmechanic]

Looks good! Thanks man

[@supercarmio]

@@marigoldmechanic anytime!

[@Peterv832]

Can anyone link this turboback system? Also if im running stock ecu will this give me a check engine light and fail emissions?

[@supercarmio]

I can't find the exact one, but this looks similar: www.ebay.com/itm/For-99-05-Jetta-Golf-1-8T-75mm-Gunmetal-Full-Turboback-Catback-Exhaust-System/323443519550?hash=item4b4ebc703e:g:kCsAAOSwk99ecCEA On some cars I've been able to run an O2 spacer and it doesn't trip the post-cat CEL, however, it's probably best to get a tune to handle the CEL 100%.

[@Peterv832]

@@supercarmio thanks for the quick response. I found a system with the brand you mention but its around the $300 mark. Wondering how different that is compared to this. www.ebay.com/itm/392796350379

[@supercarmio]

@@Peterv832 np! They look very very similar, possibly longevity? But I can't say for sure.

[@joelalto1617]

It's already catless right? It didn't trow any codes? Like p0420 because it's catless?

[@supercarmio]

Yes, the turboback comes w/o a cat - I have a tune that codes out the rear o2 - so no code for me.

[@joelalto1617]

Can you teach me how to tune so I don't have a code.

[@goongoon9299]

What. Rand exhaust?

[@supercarmio]

I believe the brand on ebay was Tsudo

[@I53-624]

Should I get a turbo back or cat back for my 1.8t it makes 220whp

[@supercarmio]

Damn that's a healthy amount, what setup? Def a turbo back. I'd argue the downpipe makes the biggest difference.

[@I53-624]

@@supercarmio I’ve been looking at the 42dd turbo back that’s made custom to order.. they look really nice but honestly I don’t know a lot about them, also I’m not sure if I should go 2.5 inch or 3 inch

[@I53-624]

Or if I should even get that exhuast. 900 bucks seems like a lot but I want a good exhuast that will last

[@supercarmio]

@@I53-624 42dd makes some high quality stuff. They also sound great. I would be confident running their stuff. Sounds like a nice mod list. Would definitely go 3" unless you are concerned about a louder exhaust.

[@Jesse-hr2ef]

Did you just screw back in those two studs that came out?

[@supercarmio]

yep, luckily I was able to separate the nuts from them. just cleaned them up and they were good to go

[@MFullaStyle]

Those studs were broken ..if you didnt know ..those studs are longer than that

[@supercarmio]

@@MFullaStyle Hmm seemed like there was a lot of engagement when putting them back in. I'll have to re-investigate. Thanks for the heads up

[@MFullaStyle]

@@supercarmio if you use a torque wrench with an impact socket and you're struggling to crack it but then you hear/feel a pop and then its loose....that stud done snapped off in the turbo housing ..theres resistance all the way out when removing them. Trust me I know I got a MK4 Jetta wolf ..I did the downpipe and busted one stud inside .. I thought it was the end of the world right them and there .. then I found out about the easy out kit .. life saver lol

[@supercarmio]

@@MFullaStyle I gotta check out those kits. Really great advice man, I appreciate it. I was planning to go with an OEM+ bigger turbo in the near future but until then I'll attend to this!

[@moamelb3673]

Well Holy shit that sounds good for a 1.8t lol, could you please link me to the eBay brand you bought it from? Thanks

[@supercarmio]

haha thanks man, I think it does too. I can't find the exact one I bought, but it looked a lot like this one: www.ebay.com/itm/190754401668

[@moamelb3673]

supercarmio yeah I just found out I fried my clutch😂 but I’m gonna order this exhaust as soon as I fix my clutch. Thanks man!

[@supercarmio]

@@moamelb3673 ahh that's a bummer! anytime man!
