It’s a little ignorant to think that these are slow in standard form until you’ve driven one and driven one hard. For sure by todays standards where every other hatch has a somewhat boring 2.0 4 pot in them they ‘feel’ slow, but actually they just need to be worked really hard and love to rev to the redline. Just the same as other NA cars of the era such as the B7 RS4. There’s a reason these cars are flying up in value and that people choose to buy them over the Golf R and B9 turbo respectively, because the NA cars are so much more rewarding when you drive them how they should be driven. I’ve owned a Stage 2 Golf R, sold it for a MK5 R32 and have 10x more fun in it. They’re so effortless to drive when you want them to be (you can casually go up a hill in 6th because the power is so linear all the way through the rev range) and yet drop them down a couple of gears and they will pull all the way to 7,000+ and sound fantastic when doing so. Exhaust, manifold, filter and a remap will see 270bhp and lots of smiles. Drive a standard one around some B roads on your own, bet you end up loving it.

Never regret having the manual, had loads of fun in mines which I had on an 09 plate. Did think about getting the DSG but couldn’t be asked with all the hassle that came with it. Long live the mk5 r32 😁

The king of all vw golfs 🔥🔥

Nice clean build 👌

Nice 👍 we use the 300sxe borg Warner on our mk5 as these engines make a ton of backpressure .

Very clean car. Boosted oem love that. Great work

Nice build! Personally I like my R32s slow and naturally aspirated! The sound is never quite the same with a snail which is a shame.

Classy build 👌great looking car too

Very clean 👌🏽

Low key fire this channel🔥🔥🔥

*The amount of power this is running is crazy its definitely a sleeper* 🔥

Love that it looks close to stock from the outside. Great build!

Love this build it’s not pimped out love sleepers

Lovely, need to swap that cloth out for some buckets.

Thats an awesome setup and how much did it cost you to get it to that stage? I just love that sound and look of your car.

What a beauty

Really awesome car

Sleeper? Thats a beast

That torque in.... i pressume standard gearbox OMgosh

Now this is a real sleeper . Looks standard but ain’t

A *Sleeper* that can *Wake me up* any day of the week!! 😄 👍

i still fancy a boosted dsg mk5, i owned a supoercharged mk3 vr6 and a supercharged mk4 r32. miss the vr6 motor!

Total build cost=?

Would look good with my bros R30 TWO plate on it that’s potentially up for sale. Also in Cambridge

Manual box on any car I buy. Any dsg box will give up before a manual. Ive just bought a manual r32 mk5, so pleased. Need a turbo 🤪

Great looking car! Very clean.

How long will the drive train last. Lol

Doesn’t sound as good as the standard one

Thats two R32's you've featured recently Luke!! Just saying 😉 ‐ Nice car btw, im hoping to get mine boosted in future !!

Love it one day I will do mine

You should get one :D

Daily!!!! ££££££

Low key and packs a punch 👌🏾 If your considering boosting your 32 and wish to retain the OEM NA exhaust note then a superchargers your best bet but turbo's just in a different league and they still sound epic!!

How much did all the work cost over a year? Not cheap I bet. Sounds very good not that a normal R32 doesn’t sound good. Brave to do this in a manual too! Good work!👍

Interesting theres not been any suspension mods or brake upgrades. Fair play for building to how he wants, must have cost a fortune to turbo.

Christ this guy loves his erms...

Beautiful car nice n tidy

The reason I don't want to turbo mine is that the DSG box r glass. Easily broken. I was looking for a super charger but you can't find any here in north America 😒 only turbos. My has full SuperSprint exhaust from Headers back & I love it

Wish he would elaborate more on the difference between turbo and supercharged

Typical sound is gone.

7:50 - DSG let u hit whatever gear u want. U need manual mode, and downshift is faster in DSG. Maybe new golfs has it, my MK5 GTI is clever, not as golf 8 (automaticly changing gears in manual mode :D)

Nice to see you got Adrian Lewis on the channel 😂

The blue hoses got to go

Fully forged and only 470bhp? I’d be pushing that to 600bhp+ but he does appear to be more sensible than I am.

I'm building a turbo 07K MK6 but I found a MK4 R32 sitting in a driveway and I'm seriously considering getting it but I would supercharge it just because I'm already doing a turbo car

AAAA AAAA

Once you've done a Mk5 R32 you can't resist another...

Ive got a R32 Mk5 09 want to boost it. Would love to know the cost and some of to people who can do this build please ,,thanks. Gona look up stealth tunning for the the time being ✌🏻❤️🇬🇧

Luke the music is ???? Name please pal

Bummer that he wants to put an automatic in.

Should’ve kept it under wraps for a while, would have loved shocking people in this car. 🤷‍♂️

You're gonna want those bigger brakes man, trust me.

More of a waker than a sleeper

The “erms” were really annoying

Great video but would be nice to see some car owners actually drive there cars how they should be drove. 🤦‍♂️

🇧🇼💯👌🏼

doesnt sound good like that. revert it back to NA
