Mk7 GTI // Gears and Gasoline

It s about time we got a little German on the channel. We ve been infatuated with Japanese cars for a while, but some German cars deserve the same obsession. The Mk7 GTI is the prime example of a car for enthusiasts. Volkswagen made the Golf "for the people", resulting in a basic starting point for modifications to go many directions. The EA888 engine paired with the IS20 turbo in the Mk7 GTI is a great platform to build on, and our buddy Philo did just that. (For the record, Philo told us after all was said and done, his cross-country roadtrip wound up being 10,000 miles.) http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?6984506-What-Happened-To-The-Dual-Injected-EA888 - Info on valve-lift and general knowledge on the EA888 http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=124914 mk5 dyno numbers http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1938 mk6 dyno numbers http://www.autoblog.com/2015/02/03/dyno-run-vw-gti-underrated-report/ referencing the focus st forum http://www.focusst.org/forum/focus-st-vs-competition/34049-mk7-vw-gti-lying-through-s-grill.html focus st forum http://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7465 mk7 forum dyno numbers
