Velocity Factor is very proud to present another great customer build. This time we have a 2012 VW GTI with significant modifications and improvements.
The main attraction of this car is the K04 upgraded turbo. In order to fully utilize this fantastic turbo, we had to install significant supporting mods. This included:
- APR Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC)
- Neuspeed HI-FLO Air Charge Pipe
- Neuspeed HI-FLO Turbo Discharge Pipe
- Neuspeed Carbon Fiber Intake with Blitz C4 Stainless Steel Filter
- B&B Turbo-back "Stealth" Full Exhaust

To maximize the performance of the K04 Upgraded Turbo Kit, We also installed a Snow Performance Methanol Injection System. This methanol injection kit features on-board LED warning and status lights. This helps let you know when the system is spraying and gives you a warning in the unlikely event that anything happens to go wrong.

In order to actually harness all this power, significant performance modifications were needed to the suspension and engine mounting systems. These are the components that we chose to upgrade the suspension system: H&R SuperSport Springs, EuroJet Suspension Motor Mounts, Lower Dogbone Mounts Front Bushings to stop wheel hop and reduce tire-spin, and Whiteline Lower Control Arms.

With all of these high performance mods and Custom Tuning by Velocity Factor, we took the car from the 200whp / 203 ft-lb that it had in stock trim to a whopping 405whp / 395 ft-lb on pump gas!!. The car is an extremely reliable daily driver, and runs solid with no check engine lights or problems of any kind. This is a top-notch daily driver that has proven to run consistent 12-second times, trapping at 110mph on pump gas! Needless to say, the customer was ecstatic with the performance that his car now delivers.
