I have done 90k miles on this same 1.8tsi ea888 gen 3 engine...it is on apr stage 1 for 20k miles no issues...perfect condition and im thinking upgrade it to smaller oem turbo is20 from 7.5gti...is it worth on 90k miles car...?
@SOLOWERKSUSA3 жыл бұрын
No real reason not too. 90k miles is not a lot these days, and the motor holds up very well. Now, I would replace PCV and a few other regular maintenance pieces just for longevity. But I would hesitate doing a is20.

Depending on how many miles you have on your car, you might want some new mounts. But the IS38 is fine with stock mounts, just put a dog bone insert in. I didn't get upgraded BFI mounts until I went big turbo and made 150+whp over this setup.

I have been driving VWs since 1972 and GTIs and my Corrado VR6 since 1983. But in 2017 I got my wife an Alltrack. I liked it a lot and didn't want a GTI with 4 doors, so I bought myself a Golf Sportwagen. I got APR on my 2006 GTI and it is quite fast. But I have no motivation to make either of our VW station wagons faster. If I wanted that I would have got a GTI or Golf R.
@SOLOWERKSUSA3 жыл бұрын
To each his own for sure, this is my 40th plus VW, it's a passion. I have two car seats in the back if you notice, the Golf R doesn't cut it with two kids. It's a Golf R little brother with the Haldex. Besides, still saved money over the R, all this still under $25k with the car purchase.
@drwisdom13 жыл бұрын
@@SOLOWERKSUSA I fully agree. Given the cost of Alltracks and AWD Sportwagens, the Golf R is marked up way too much. Beyond the money the real deal killer for me is the Golf R doesn't have a spare tire while Alltracks and Sportwagens fit a full size space. We use our vehicles for traveling.
