I have one, and no ... it does not suck ... point of fact, the VW EOS is the only car that has a folding convertible roof with a sliding glass sunroof, mine is the face lifted version with an options list as long as my arm.

Amazing idea, really cool car. VW should have made things like that from the factory (maybe with 310 HP)

Dude looks like your father Matt.

its taken 2 years, but matt has finally learnt to do u turns in safe places!

Love it when Matt giggles from the astonishing power of a vehicle. Good video, this guy from HPA is very knowledgeable about everything about this cars modification, love videos like this.

Incredibly cool build. And that VR6 note is still awesome. I got passed in my modest MK6 Golf GTI by a MK5 R32 the other day. The sound is just so much better, wow.

This is probably the second-best choice for HPA sleeper status, just behind a 1st-gen New Beetle Convertible. This would be MUCH easier to live with though. Freakin' wonderful stuff!

I'm reasonably certain these 2 guys are the same person.

Marcel invited our local car club (Vancouver R Club) to a private open house at HPA last week. Incredible operation, and the passion they have for what they do is so apparent in Marcel and his staff. I know where I'm going when my warranty is up, or when I decide "to heck with my warranty".

Awesome video and HPA seems like a good tuner outfit. He seems more of a straight shooter than most. And your enthusiasm is infectious.

But then a 335i convertible will do almost the same performance with stock turbo's and overall another class of a car. But MAD RESPECT for the HPA crew, always the sickest builds.

That has got to be the most epic sounding exhaust note of any EOS!

Long time VW fan here...this makes me proud. Even the worst example can still get it!

I had the chance to see their R32 that had made it into Gran Turismo 5 a few years back. They gladly started it up and shot fire out of the exhaust for me to see.

I just picked up an 09 EOS. Would like to tune it, not to this extreme though. This is incredible!

love seeing these unique cars!

I’ve got a 2.0t 2009 Eos, definitely not comparable to this, but it’s definitely quick.

It has the Sirocco front end conversion which makes it look even better.

That thing sounds THE BUSINESS

Oh jeez this sounds AMAZING!

Can't wait to see the two Golf's sitting there in the background. The graphics scream Big HP !

My mom has a vr6 eos😂 and that thing it pretty fast stock actually!

Hell even on a base 200 HP eos adding AWD would be cool. How much just to add AWD to an eos?

LMAO at 3:03, took off like a mad man! Wheel spin from an AWD, I tip my hat!

HPA are absolute Legends! 👊👌👍

It's just a good little car... I know lots of people hate it... I've had it for over 10 years and really don't want to get rid of it..

3:02 HOLY CRAP!!! That's insane though that a car that miniscule-looking weighs a THOUSAND POUNDS more than my Integra. Dang.

If Matt's audience are so poor, who owns the cars that his entire career is based off?

my god! I want one as a daily! beast

Car looks dope.. thee sleeper of all sleepers

Oh wow that thing is an eos, and it's actually cool. Do my eyes decieve me?

These look great with the scirocco front end conversion.

I Love the VR6. Sound .

I have a VR6 eos... custom ordered from the factory, have been thinking about doing something like this, never knew it existed... however: from what the cost is, the upgrade costs more than the vehicle is worth, how would you insure something like this?

Ironically, my computer froze hard for almost a minute during the "CGF" t-shirt promo. That shirt is pretty sweet tho.

this is a fucking cool idea. props to this guy. 600fp of toruqe in an eos is nuts!

Wicked build

Can I just put a Tiguan rear cradle in and get the AWD DSG, make up a drive line and call it a win?

500 horsepower will just about fix anything. You always know it's going to be a good drive when Matt starts giggling like a little kid when he first steps on the gas. I wonder if he's ever had a run in with the highway patrol when driving cars up in the canyons?

Damn the front gives me instantly flashbacks to my own 2.0 TSI Scirocco (since this Eos got the Rocco front bumper), which is rare to see since Scirocco's aren't sold in the USA would love to see one on your show Matt. I have some pics here imgur.com/a/XEZ1Y

I wonder if this turbo kit would fit the 3.6 in Passat chassis and would the US-spec standard auto handle the extra oomph.

Had to wait till the end for any mention of the Scirocco front end- I'd have like to have heard more about how he managed to fit that.

@Patrick94GSR

They share the same platform and come from the same manufacturing plant in Portugal. Both cars' wheelbase are identical. So it probably wasn't that hard to fit it. They most likely grafted the front half of the Scirocco fenders to the back half of the Eos front fenders so that the body line on the doors would match up properly.

What, do they detail that thing with sandpaper? You can see the swirls as he pans around the car.

I think they had some of these couple of years ago at eurocharged shop in Houston on display

It sounds perfect.

4:25 Is that reasoning valid? Wouldn’t boost pressure be boost pressure regardless of the number of turbos? Twins would just be more responsive down low?
