Fair question, but we are in an emissions compliant state and this daily needs to be legal!

Perfection. As long as the owner is happy? It makes all the difference in the world.

in the next episode, you guys are gonna be installing a new clutch lol

Matt's actually is testing one of our prototype clutches in his car

Great video. Clean cut and to the point.

Its not FBO if its pretty much just stage 1... on this platform stage 2 includes either a downpipe or upgraded turbo (if going with APR)

Downpipe, intercooler, cutch, tune, done.

ECS doing “ECS” things. Modding the car to be “FBO” without even addressing the downpipe. And then when asked in the comments of their video they took a good amount of time making, it’s crickets…

Sorry we made you mad. It's a fair callout: We can't run a DP in this part of Ohio, legally.

Enjoyed this alot.l, gotta get a downpipe next

Always do your research kids....I knew he picked the wrong intercooler the second I saw it given the front mount radar system. The intercooler is an awesome mode but really takes time to do properly.

Awesome 🤩

The welding on that intercooler.. just bad...

The owner is ecstatic... oh no wait he isn't. Also remove the mudflaps...

@@ecstuning what about all the catted DP's you have?

Can install the ecs intercooler and the arm front mount at the same time?

Hey where would I find those black rotor to buy for my GTI ???? THANKS

Which window visors are those?

Is that a carbon fiber wheel?? I need to know where to get one asap!!

Only things I would have done differently are upgrading the turbo inlet pipe and cat back exhaust to replace that factory resonator. Now I want to get a mk7

what front lip was that??

great build, but no turbo inlet upgrade?

Mandatory subtitles!!!

Why not use your ECS front mount intercooler?

How about we do this to my mk8?

Full bolt on is a bit of a stretch for a car with stock manifolds.

Idea on release date for that new front lip?

Still in testing! Watch our socials for updates!

Who needs adaptive cruise and parking assist anyway! My radar was broken and a new one was not worth the price. Replaced it with an ARM FMIC.

Serious question, suppose both were mounted? Would that work?

@ecstuning

6 ай бұрын

Unfortunately the ARM intercooler replaces the stock charge pipes so you would not be able to run both

Question : I already installed a catted downpipe (mostly for the throatier sound) and the CTS intake. How reliable would my car be as a daily driver if I got an accessport and a stage 2 tune (something like EQT). Has anyone here done that setup on their daily driven GTI? (I have a DSG)

Have had my '15 mk7 gti since the end of 2014. Tuned my ECU and dsg with apr stage 2/ hi torque. Did this with just over 200miles on the car and to this day I drive it like I stole it!! Just use good oil and keep up on the changes.

An intake and down pipe should be a default. Get rid of those red accents man and the stickers all over

I can’t believe he was gonna delete the adaptive cruise control just to install an IC for aesthetics that you can barely see anyways.

i wished i had adaptive cruise control from factory like his, too much work to retrofit 😓

No dogbone mount inserts? Easiest bolt on.

So you guys skipped the best handling mod, UHP tyres?

How much did the work cost? I have a gti and I’m looking for something like that

If you can't do it yourself, it's not even close to worth it. That's pretty much universally true for modifying cars.

Since Matt daily drives his car, he wanted a less aggressive rotor for his car. Something that's better suited for his driving style

This is why you buy a base model kids, cruise control module just fucked him over

Only the Cobb tune? I noticed 0 difference from stock vs Cobb tune. Go with EQT or IE or something

No downpipe? Thats the major factory bootleneck, can get stage2 map running at 350+ hp

Great upgrade build! I’ve done a bunch of those mods on my Golf, just different mod companies, and it performs like a sports car. I’ve also got new shocks and lower springs, just waiting for money for install.

I prefer my unatronic intercooler

Stop subtitling!

Def not a fbo

Depends on how well the car was taken care of. My modified MK7 GTI personally feels just as fast at 167k miles than it did new. I bought it new, and tuned it once it hit 2k miles, so it’s been tuned and modified its entire life.

Cobb tunes suck tho
