Since purchasing the golf sedan last July, it has gone through a few upgrades. The second day I had the car it went in for a GayPR stage 1 flash, quickly followed by a downpipe and stage 2. I proceeded to do full bolt ons (Wagner intercooler, neuspeed charge pipes and TMD, Milltek Catback, coilovers, ramz, the usual). Here's how it sat last October:

After about 6 months of dat stage 2 lyfe I grew bored with the car and came to a realization that I was either going to continue down the :plac: rabbit hole and keep flipping in and out of vehicles, or I was going to go :balls: deep on one platform and keep it for a while. I did the latter.

After impulse purchasing a used APR stage 3 kit (Borg Warner EFR7163) I had some decisions to make.

Image

One day in March I saw a post by Lusky on Audizine of his United Motorsport fixed APR stage 3 A3 that made damn near 500whp on E85. So I contacted the shop who did it, Iroz Motorsport out of Las Vegas and the proprietor, Hank Iroz, was supremely helpful. I was originally going to have the work done locally and only have Hank modify my wastegate arm on the turbo, but about a week after I sent out the turbo I decided to ship my car to him to have the whole thing taken care of.

Here's a couple pictures of my car being loaded up on a truck to be taken down to Las Vegas.

Image
Image

Hank was nice enough to send me a couple photos while it was down there. So what you're looking at is a Walbro 450 LPFP, Multi port injection, and an electronic waste gate controlled EFR 7163.

Image

Here's what it did on his Land & Sea dyno on E85. The torque is limited to sub 440wtq in order to keep the stock internals happy. I will be purchasing a spare GTI long block and building it over the winter and having him retune it so that I can have the full 32psi come on a lot earlier.

Image


About 2 weeks later I flew down with a buddy and picked the car up and drove it all the way back to Minneapolis. Here's a few pics from that adventure.

I don't understand why at that point one wouldn't buy/lease an actual fast car. The amount of money :troywax: 'ed is never coming back and issues will pop up at those power levels.
R8 would have made more sense... :triggered:

Damn that's a lot of power. My buddy has an S4 and even with the stock 333hp it pulls like mad. That awd + S/C pull is just brutal.
I bet the S3 is a lot of fun being a little lighter

I was considering those Neuspeed wheels on my mk7 when I recently got it but too broke to get em, those wheels on the estroil doe. But I just found faux 18" pretoria (mk7 r style wheels) and may pull the plunge.

Those neuspeeds are on every Mk7. Do something different.

I've thought about 18" pretorias myself as a winter wheel I like them so much. The 18" clubsport wheels are nice but they might be :waxer:.

Hence was, when my mk7 didn't even hit 5k miles back then :lol: and they're also expensive. This is what I found similar to pretoria's although look more identical to gallardo wheels as well. They're also 21 ibs and not expensive, most bang for the buck imo.

I'd imagine it'll look good.https://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCl ... r=Standard

Those aren't bad. But I'm kind of wary of those cheap wheel brands. I know I went cheap myself with Enkei's but they have a reputation.

These are the ones I was talking about. The 18" Belvedere's. No idea where to get them though.

that's gonna be tough, i'll give 6 month atleast for alzor to make a replica of that, who knows. I need to check out the durability against DC metro roads, but who knows, I'll shop around. I may think about getting rotiform SPF wheels instead which are over $100 more a set than the faux huracan (yes i meant huracan :lol: ) wheels (no i'm not all about stance :lol: ) they're still cheaper compared to neuspeeds and the like.
