Turbo 2.5L Rabbit has its Dyno Day!

[@sincere3005]

Awesome Build! Great Numbers bro. I love that Rabbit.

[@natural876]

Congrats my man. Sad to see it go. Hopefully, it will get a deserving owner

[@spiritsofthedistilledkind3633]

My 07 has 192k on it. It’s been a solid car, still going strong. I’ve been wanting to boost mine for a good while.

[@aznerol0770]

Man, you put up some great numbers. Big respect. I've been a huge fan of this car for a while. Yours has been my template for modifying mine. Where am I going to get good, in depth content for my Rabbit now? I hope that you get what you want for it.

[@SubsurfacePodcast]

Thanks man. Means alot.

[@charielperez5629]

Been waiting for this!!

[@pjsgarage4764]

I guess our turbo rabbits will never meet if you sell it 🤧 Detailed video explaining the build, nice work. I know the struggle you went through, it aint easy.

[@SubsurfacePodcast]

Yeah man. To reach a point like this is no easy feat. Especially with a family, daughter, and building a career in the mix.

[@americanvlogs1950]

Bro I want to see more videos on your car I’m planning to put a turbo on my 2008 rabbit because of you

[@boostedrabbit]

Come to calgary we can meet up 😃

Glad I got to ride in it!

Holy fucking shit dude! That’s some damn good numbers! Glad you put up this vid, this will get the 2.5 group in a stir lol You didn’t mention this but is the a stock bottom end and head?

[@SubsurfacePodcast]

Yep 100% stock internals.

[@CarsAndCoffeeKings]

Let's gooo!

[@randyguzy8042]

Want mine like this one day

[@americanvlogs1950]

I love your videos honestly

[@SubsurfacePodcast]

Thanks! That means alot. Once the Rabbit is gone I'm likely going to no longer make 2.5 specific videos, but may merge to a video podcast largely about cars. Of course I will be talking about 2.5s alot lol. A buddy of mine is already working out bugs to a digital workstation and recording music, we just need mics and record voice and start writing the structure out for the podcast.

[@thegreenrabbit2.5]

Interesting numbers!! Im hoping to go turbo next month and was wondering how much HP/ TQ it could take looks like 400 is the way to go 🤩 amazing!!! Doing stock internals myself but 550cc injectors full custom 3 inch exhaust 80mm trottle body and a IE intake and a RS3 fuel pump

[@SubsurfacePodcast]

Similar to my setup. I kept the stock throttle body because upgrading is pointless. IE intake manifold is designed for the stock throttle body and being 3" we are already bigger than the GTIs.

[@AlexSierra36]

Instead of trading in my truck for a new MK8 GTI. I kept my truck and bought a 2.5 as a second car because of your videos. It’s a mk6 Jetta tho, 5 speed

[@SubsurfacePodcast]

Nice move. Very reliable man.

[@briantobin7589]

Impressive!

[@SubsurfacePodcast]

Thanks man

[@lilchristian77360]

Bro definitely have to Dyno mine soon AKA ASAP I'm on 15lb...and boost creep one time @22lbs😳🥵.. definitely back off

[@rollinheadgasket3434]

Where is the crank case/ oil breather hooked up too?

[@jeovanyumanzor2028]

Sucks mine came with power steering pump, i was checking forums someone said its possible to convert to electric steering

[@gmtrucklife2004]

Hey Im doing a 07k 6 speed swap into a 07 gti. do you have a way I could reach you to pick your brain about some of the details?

[@kdudutse]

nice where did bought your boost display pods?

[@SubsurfacePodcast]

That's the Innovate SCG-1 boost control setup.

What internals if any are you running? Love the video btw you’ve been so beneficial with all your information provided! Keep it up

[@jeovanyumanzor2028]

Hey Matt been awhile. Do you know if it would be easy to install bosch 550cc to a mk6 jetta the website says for mk5

[@sincere3005]

Could you send me the links to where you are posting it especially the FB groups. Thank you.

[@SubsurfacePodcast]

This link should work. facebook.com/groups/BurnAllTheMk5s/permalink/3321490841435119/?mibextid=dXMIcH

[@alexlopes7861]

Where did you get those wheels you have in the front

[@SubsurfacePodcast]

Bought them used from a guy. They are Konig but I don't remember the model.

[@booneylander]

Nice!

[@leo2502]

Still got this?

[@SubsurfacePodcast]

I do!

[@EastDallasKicks]

What guide did you use to Change that steering wheel and airbag?

[@SubsurfacePodcast]

Just followed someone on Facebook honestly. A long time ago.

[@EastDallasKicks]

Any tutorials for the GTI breaks?

[@SubsurfacePodcast]

Nah. They are just like replacing stock brakes. Just buy GTI rotors, pads, feont calipers and caliper carrier.

[@jeovanyumanzor2028]

And also do you have to do custom tuning to run 550cc or would the ecu just run them

[@SubsurfacePodcast]

Tune the factory ECU. United Motorsport offers tunes for that.

[@matt12239]

How much tq can the 5spd take?

[@jayhardway23]

So... What are you driving these days?

[@SubsurfacePodcast]

For now, just my daily. 2013 Toyota Camry 2.5L (ironically) Reliable and good on gas. Saving money to buy land. Once I buy land and start making rental money from it, I'll buy another fun car.

[@matsm8711]

I'm about to turbo my 2011 2.5l. I hope to make same power. Would you suggest a stand Alone ecu or UM flash?

[@SubsurfacePodcast]

Cheapest and easiest route is UM, you'll need to email them with your VIN and ECUs box code to see if they have a file for your specific ECU. Standard turbo file runs $950 and if you use an aftermarket intake manifold then the tune costs an extra $250. On the other hand, ECUmasters is a better option as far as tuning support and being able to make more power on stock internals (or a built engine) just costs more. At least double.

[@matsm8711]

@Florida 07K Hey, thanks for responding. I'll try UM to start with and I'll keep you posted on the build🫡

[@Yung_wess]

When u posting again

[@SubsurfacePodcast]

I won't be posting about the car again. I sold it a few weeks ago. But if by chance the new owner makes a channel I will make a video to bring people to him.

Does the engine have any internal work?

[@SubsurfacePodcast]

No it's all stock

If you have spark blowout at high boost / rpm, you should _tighten_ the gap, my factory turbo car likes NGK gapped at .028 / .711mm. Factory spec is 0.32 /.81mm

[@SubsurfacePodcast]

Did that. It was around .028 but after the dyno I went to .024
