Thank you for having me on!

[@ramho786]

Amazing car mate, crazy set up! Im planning to buy a gti, and you just made me appreciate the mk6 even more

[@CCMotorized]

@@ramho786 appreciate it mate!

[@tredfxman]

​@@CCMotorizedWe have 2 Golfs in family. My former Golf GT R-Line MK6 is owned by parents, GT model only have 1.4 litre & 160 hp wth super tiny airbox n some sucky combo of supercharger. After that we kept it, dad owns it n is happy wth it. Looks awesome in deep black pearl tho. That was ordered 2012 fr VW factory. Then in 2017 i bought the Golf GTI Clubsport MK7 also speced from factory. Its Stage 1 with is38, on a custom turbo back: Invidia dp on sportcat, and cobra sport nonres catback: That combo Sounds bl**dy marvelous on the deep end! Anyway, would be cool to compare to yours as ithink it shud be pushing 380 hp as well. I still think u may be faster as ur Stage 3 though, + aton of breathing pipe work! 😂 But yeah its a MK7 though. Anyway total props & credits for an amazing build & dedication V-Dub brother! Beautiful Work! ☺️ 👍

[@845_Mk6]

Super clean mk6

[@raysilva12]

Do you have an ignwhere I can ask you about your build???

[@RickGTI2019]

I currently drive a 2019 GTI, S, dsg. Completely stock, it’s fast enough for me and the state troopers in Florida 🌴! Oh, did mention, I’m 80 years old. Great car, video, and build ! Thanks, RickGTI….. 🇺🇸

[@EastDallasKicks]

Nice sounds like a fun car. You should do a showcase or video review on it

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodCrow]

Mk6 GTI has been my dreamcar ever since i got into cars, currently own mine for 3 years and it's stage 2 tuned, seeing all the awesome Mk6's on KZbin is realy making me jelous about all the high hp Golf's out there, i need to go stage 3 aswell at some point the current 300hp is allot of fun but 50 extra would make me fall in love again xD

[@user-oh7ic4nk8f]

how has reliability been over 3 years?

[@gruxella2]

dont go stage 3 reliability goes to shit and u have a ton of turbo lag

[@gruxella2]

i have a stage 3 mk6 gti and its not fun to drive anymore

[@luketexas]

question what mods you have for stage 2? I have read just going aftermarket dp only is okay but wondering if I should be worried about any other mods for stage 2

[@gruxella2]

@@luketexas intake and exhaust would help but i dont think u need anything other than an intake for stage 2

[@deadwolfking8267]

Come on Carl killing it 🔥🔥🔥

[@harryj_cars]

Always love the VW golf great video Luke 👍

[@enzodejongh5930]

nice build and really clean car! really like it :D how is your car driving with al that powerflex inserts? i only have now the bottom one in the subframe where the dogbone is. but its really ratle when driving backward. or do you advice to do the uper inserts also? i got an ed35 stage2+ TVS engine and dgs software with 380 hp an 530nm. or are my upper engine mounts on his end?

[@gogupedala4906]

Seen it in person at Cars&Coffee, nice build

[@NuffxSaid]

If he's at 380, I have to be near 500 😂 I'm fully built. 83mm bore, IE pistions, rods and springs, ferrea valves, IE mani, IE k04, DSG and mani tunes, cts intake, cts TBE, cts intercooler cts rad and ecs catch can. Also, sitting on silvers nexomax coilovers, superpro sway bars and superpro endlinks. I need to put mine on the dyno asap.

[@lucianootiniano9307]

Bro, I have a stage 2 mk6 with a k04 (to be swapped to a 650 unit), all original pipes (charge pipes, etc) and I'm making 382 bhp and 401 lbs/ft of Torque, there's no way his car is making those numbers if it is a Stage III

[@korey420]

​@lucianootiniano9307 a ko4 isn't stage 3, no matter what ko4 it is.. that's still a small turbo.. it's literally the same size as a stock mk7 gti is20 turbo.. Ko4 maxes at about 380whp and that's e85 with mpi... FBO.. and tuned aggressively..

[@LilRedGTI]

Mate id love to know where you got the red silicon pipes. Do you recommend them?

[@Bustupsoce]

that looks so good, i cant wait till i get my one

[@JasonThaiKennedy]

Beautiful Mk6!

[@mollsims]

loved this! lovely meeting you 🫶🏼

[@hampshirephoto]

You too!

[@davidthomas7424]

Can't imagine stage 3 on my golf r it's so fast as is keeping up with porsche taycan bmw m3 and m6 and sticks to the road like shit on a blanket 😊

[@liamfleming1873]

Love your vids man! Owning a mk6 GTi myself, I can confirm this is an absolutely gorgeous build

[@JacesOwnWorld]

This is giving me 90’s vibes with those red pipes in the engine bay. Great build!

[@ollieelderfield4877]

Comee on Carl 🤪

[@bustacap12]

Awesome content!!! Mk6 Gti ftw 🙌🏼

[@jonathonbrett-qn1ic]

Love golf’s great episode Stunning looking car sounds awesome

[@sepetkecekk8961]

woahhhh tht fun

[@luketexas]

I have a mk6 wolfsburg haven't tuned yet I have a dp so far but I love the car

[@luketexas]

random but do you where he got the paddle shifter extensions or replacement from? I haven't found any good ones for mk6 really

[@bluebullet2000]

495!!! On a stock k04???

[@elliotandrews1577]

Big difference when you shift on the gearbox

[@tfsitimmy8118]

MK6 Gang, nice one Carl!

[@gianlucatuzi1498]

Lovely car incredible build fair play to the owner

[@chrisdavis6853]

Just upgraded my clutch so that i can go stage 2 in my MK GTI! such a great build! Thanks for showing

[@ellogicbomba7414]

You can run that much power without forged rods?

[@tubejorrit]

These engines can handle up to 400 no problem

[@Gentlemen_london_]

Owner is a lovely guy! Car is absolutely superb! 👌

[@Vikturus22]

I have my mk6 gti. And today just finished putting on Bilstein B6 shocks with 20mm lowering springs! Dont want to go coilovers mainly because it is a daily car and dont want to sacrifice comfort. It has some small mods including exhaust downpipe intake and a tune. As well as r8 coils the car currently produces 260hp on a stage 1+

[@tubejorrit]

How is the sound with a downpipe? I'm debating getting one with 200cel cat (needed for MOT) but they are pretty expensive. I just fitted Passat control arms (aluminium) and S3 bushings. Made a lot of difference and the unsprung weight is noticeable. If I want other springs/coils I will go for the KW variant 1.

[@Vikturus22]

the sound is more pronounced and is better overall. I got a X-Force downpipe ( I am in NZ ) and when it was on the dyno the HP rating was about 15hp

[@meneerb9143]

What turbo your using ?

[@ellogicbomba7414]

k04

[@yanansnuts]

*cries in polo 1.2 tsi* i would love to get my hands on a MK6 GTI one day

[@bluebullet2000]

Them clutches are still slipping bro more clamping pressure needed. I have a hybrid ko4 on my a3 tsi quattro with stage 1 dsg tune and all is well.

[@mainesmith6011]

Build is👌

[@LeslyMakwati]

What's the engine size

[@tyler70878]

2.0t

[@chroniccrypto75]

I need to get a nice sounding exhaust for my Ed35 but they all sound rubbish.

[@Starogullyside]

🔥🔥🔥

[@R19Robbin]

I wanna go stage 3 on my mk6 GTI now 😅👌

[@Cupraa_Ken]

Love your vids 🫡

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodCrow]

Mine is stage 2 and i want to go stage 3 aswell now that i got used to the current horses XD But i'm doing cosmetic work first and i need to get a daily becouse stage 3 daily with short commutes wont do the engine any good XD

[@k4o5sfc]

Nice engine bay

[@fireitupf3548]

6.37 - reached 495 BHP on a stock block AHAHAHA and tuned it down oh and on a KO4

[@CCMotorized]

I meant 395bhp my bad!! Watched it back myself and realised I miss quoted the figure

[@raphiology]

​@@CCMotorizedwas surprised when u said that but good that u correct it in the comment haha

[@tyler70878]

Need to just manual swap it. Get a 6 puck clutch. Then you won't have to worry about that shitty slushbox auto trans clutch packs slipping.

[@aqeelgaliem6554]

beast😍🔥

[@sc2320]

quality kidd sounds naughty son do like a mk6 gti like she looks sweet la 💯💪

[@Em_Ligman]

MEGA

[@tubejorrit]

What foglight inserts are those? And the car could use a real LSD ;)

[@luisro7782]

clutch slipping still...

[@mazpr2025]

Has to be throwing 18149 code, clutch pressure adaptation at it's limit.

[@brakehorsesTV]

1st you have a hell of a car mate! Good job 💪🏼 2nd stop lying about your dragy numbers haha😝 who doesn’t know exactly what he did when it comes to numbers? Also 8.01 and 8.99 have a huge difference to just say you did 8s Anyhow, good video overall 🚀

[@CCMotorized]

Sorry mate was never good with figures🫣

[@nemtizz]

He has 20+ BHP over me but 40 ft.lbs less. Take it to R-Tech maybe?

[@raphiology]

Every build is diff

[@yousifshakoor6496]

Maybe the clutches were slipping so they had to turn the torque down

[@nomorecameras5533]

All the dsg drivers look bored glad I have a manual

[@DOBS13]

It's a misconception, I thought I'd hate DSG, ended up loving it and the farts, videos don't do them justice in regards to feel/sounds etc

[@lol4224]

manual is slow asf

[@swansmeister]

An overpowered fwd car is never fun.
