► The Mk7 GTI is a fantastic drivers car out of the box - it's sporty, compact, efficient and nice to look at. For those of us wanting a little more though, the IS38 Golf R turbo is a fantastic upgrade to get more power out of your Mk7 GTI. If you start to notice smoke, power loss, or hear the dreaded 'dentist drill' sound coming from your engine bay - it may be time to service your turbo.

Here at FCP Euro we sell a comprehensive IS38 kit to make sure you have everything you need to upgrade your Mk7 GTI's turbo. Don't forget - you NEED aftermarket tuning in order to safely run an IS38 on your Mk7 GTI, so be sure to have your choice of tuning application ready to go when you decide to take this job on.

Corey Calvin, FCP Euro's Motorsports Engineer, takes you through the steps required to upgrade your factory turbo to an IS38 on your Mk7 GTI. This video includes removal of the stock turbo, downpipe, bleeding the coolant system, as well as priming the turbo during install which is an essential part of making sure the job gets done correctly.
