Late ass reply but this guy knows what he’s talking about. The short shifter and short shift knob are must haves and they’re super underrated.

Pro tip: That center air vent is meant to throw air into the rear of the cabin. Doesn't do anything but that's what it's intended for lol. You should've added a resonator delete as an easy mod to add a little sound. Usually is around $30-50 depending on the shop and makes a world of a difference. Best $30 I've ever spent for my R32. Nice video guys!

Just picked up a MK5 and this video helped a ton on where to start modding.

+1 for listing vagcom as first "mod". The possibilities are endless with that thing. Plus, maintenance is so much easier.

the cheapest mod (free) is removing the front section of the air box to hear the turbo spool louder

Cts turbo cai, gfb dv+, stage 2 clutch kit, cts turbo turbo outlet pipe, Cobb ap, stage 2+, and red r8 coils and spark plugs. Car is fun af, now time for some cosmetic mods.

Pretty cool guys. Ballin on a Budget

I just plasti dipped the interior trim pieces black in my MKV GTI and I absolutely love it. And it's very, very easy to do.

The best mod is a tune IMO....flashed is totally different machine. Love the vid guys! Cool mods

Thanks for this video guys, I really enjoyed it .I prefer the long shifter though..

Thank you for the tips on this, just got my own GTI and I will keep those in mind! Also made my first video on my channel of my new gti

Greaaat tips! thanks boyz

I got my Vag com cable from the wish app for $7 and it worked absolutely fine. I added the ability for locking and unlocking windows to my Audi A4, and turned off the seat belt chime.

this came out awesome Eli nice work! #IWatchedEliDab

Cool vid guys!! The vent is just for a.c so it dont blow right on you. But the dash tray is really cool i might invest in that

Great video guys

thanks for this video im planning on getting a 08 gti in the next few months so im doing alot of research on what i should and shouldnt upgrade first i would love the 6 speed manual but i mostly only see autos for sale i would be fine with both tho

"Do you know why they put a vent here?" this is so classic.

The carista app does similar to vagcom with allowing you to mod the lighting only £15 for the app and about £30 for the ECU reader Bluetooth as well!

I love that car! That was my first GTI

hey E, thanks for the info on the switch. I picked up an actual OEM switch on ebay for $25. talk about a steal

The top vent is in case you want to have the ac venting around you and not blasting you in the face area. Also I think that is where the light sensor is if you want auto head lights , which is kind of cool to have like when you go into a tunnel or for the coming home feature.

Auto lights sensor is with the rain sensor behind the rear view mirror

Back when I could relate to him more . This is why I subscribed it’s even in my recommendations if tho I’m already subscribe lol

The vent on top is not for de-fogging/de-frosting, it is for in-direct air flow. Some people don't like the A/C blowing right on them so you can close off the ones above the radio and still get cold air.

If you change coding of your instrument cluster onto EU via VCDS (you still have miles on the display, you can change units in MFA), you'll gest those inner high beams to work together with xenons - when you have lights turned off, you flash only the inner lights, when dipped beam is on - inner lights illuminate AND shutter in bixenon opens when you switch to high beam. ;)

And im definitely subscribing to your updates. Thanks guys.

Nice fun/easy mods, and as always great vid quality. (sent from my cw mk5 r32 on sungold vmr 703's and a ton of vag-com/ united motorsports tunes) Are those Mass plates?

That vent is an air-diffusor. It's there to soften the force of the air blowing out of the front facing vents. Blast the air coming out of the front vests with the air-diffusor opened and closed and you'll feel the difference.

Good video, I don't understand the hate. All the best.

How would you install the Vag Com system?

Just got an 08 red vw r32 and was wondering what some of the aesthetic mods that are available and where to find or see them. And then like cheap easy ones and also any suggestions for black wheels or exhaust?

thanks guys, i own a 400hp STI, but i really like the GTI. thinking of getting one God's will.

I like the lower of the car. I'm still working on intake, exhaust and eventually stage 3 kit. I will take some of the 5 cheap mods, including the interior lights, I want to change my MK6 to Zeon lights, but we will see. The Euro switch has the ability for daytime running on/off. Not sure why the Germans didn't offer that feature on 2013, or the freaking 2016.

what company did you buy for the flash to pass bulbs?

I have a skoda octavia vrs in the UK I'm pretty sure it's the same dash layout But the dash tray/air vent is a tray and standard with a touch pop open and close cover

Triple gage pod is really nice

You guys are cool 😎 I have a mark, 6

Hi..I noticed on both GTI's, (not sure if this is for all U.S. versions) but your Tartan-Seats only had the standard headrests and not the GTI-Logo'd-Rounded-Flush-Headrests. You should invest in some of them seats too,.(if you still have these cars)...They're usually heated as well!..:)..

Hey I need new wiring for my headlights where do I get it from any ideas?

I have a normal golf 5, can I program to beep when the lights are left on and the keys are left in the ignition?

Would the GTI be a comfortable car for a 6'3 Foot person to drive daily? Is there a lot of head room? Thanks! Keep up the good videos!

Definitely enjoy the video, im new to the scene and unfortunately mine is not a GTI 😔 is just a regular jetta..

Sweet vid loved it! Great mods for the price. Would love to do a collab sometime if you are in Cali, I have a GTI too but my channel is MK7 focused.

Well dang lol. Well if you are ever in Cali look me up brotha.

the upper dash vent is for better circulation of air throughout the interior. most people will have the front vents pointing directly rearward towards the occupants. so there is very little circulation of air. instead of just the area around where the vent is blowing being frigid, better circulation means your whole body will be cooler. and therefore you can turn the a/c down, and the system doesn't have to work as hard.

can't wait to do these to my mkV Jetta

The top vent is to diffuse the AC so it doesn't dry your eyeballs out. Would be a great spot for a pop up Navi

My 2009 Canadian model MK5 Jetta came from the factory with that dash tray.

gd job. I got a mk5 gli in Tampa FL that vent on the dashboard does sux.

Just sold my MS3(so sad)....buying gen 6 GTI SE. Nice mods

The vent on the dash in Europe is to put your mittens on it and keep them dry and warm

I know you have a video that talks about adding a cool air intake but i can't find it at the moment but i have a question. I have an FSI turbo GLI '08. Is it possible to just take off the mass flow air intake and connect an air cone filter and expect it to make the turbo a little more noticeable?

Massachusetts! Hell yeah! Do you go to any car shows across the state?

Hello , I can tell you know a lot about gti i have a problem with my gti when I replace the rear suspension and I mess up the headlights level sensor and I can drive it at night bc the light is looking at the floor,do you have any suggestions and thx .

Hello im from mass like you and i have a vw gti 2008 and i buy that euro switch but when i go the light are on. how you change that or what i do for change that. thanks

i have a question about the r32 big brake. you only put the big brake and dont change the rotor or you need change the rotor. thanks

What mods do you recommend for an 08' VW polo 1.4 ? im not too sure where to start. Its my first car. I really like the idea of the short change shifter but not to sure if I can use that on my polo

I appreciate this video. I'm definitely not your target demographic - just looking up GTI videos because I'm thinking of trading in my current Golf for one. But I do appreciate that this stuff can be done. I just don't like the idea that I might be driving the same car as you. =)

Good work GUYS i will buy mk5 great car

more GTI vidz please ! 🙏

this is going to be a random question. but I have a mk6 jetta 1.8t se automatic. do you know how to change the transmission oil cooler?

Hey guys! I was just wondering if it is at all possible to switch the MK5 stock Front Bumper to the GTI bumper? Also is there a way to change those grandpa-like black plastic trims on the doors? I just got myself a MK5 DSG TDI and I love the car but I really want that GTI look and feel! Any advice would be great, love your work! Thanks guys!

It's funny that your right parking light flickers because I have the Ziza LED city lights in mine and my same one flickers as well! Can't seem to fix the issue though.

is there an easy way to do a neutral safety switch bypass? I'm thinking of getting a mk6 but I have always having to step in the clutch to start the car.
