Video: Integrated Engineering 450T Turbo Kit for MK6 Golf R Reviewed by Everyday Driver

Video automotive journalists, Everyday Driver, recently reviewed the Integrated Engineering 450 WHP Mk6 Golf R in real world driving conditions.   They were pleasantly surprised by their Golf that has super car horsepower while remaining docile enough for daily driving.  The IE Golf R was fitted with the new IE450T big turbo kit as well as other high performance parts.

Some notable comments from the video-

“When you Dip into the throttle, ok that’s fast.. At 4000 RPM The turbo sounds start doing it’s thing. At 5000 RPM you know that this is definitely a different car. By 6000 RPM- You’ve lost your drivers license! This Car wants to go!”-Paul Schmucker @ Everyday Driver

“We’re almost in HellCat acceleration times which is nuts all the time. The Golf is only nuts when you want it to be.” -Todd Deekan @ Everyday Driver

The Integrated Engineering 450T turbo kit was designed in-house by IE’s engineers over a two year period.  IE designed components of the turbo kit include the twin scroll exhaust manifold, cast MAF housing, cast turbo outlet pipe, 304 stainless downpipe, and ECU software with motorsport features of launch control and no lift shift. This bolt on turbo kit brings to together the street friendly drivability that everyone wants along with super car beating horsepower.

The IE 450T Golf R, which is also the daily driver of one of IE’s owners, has a wide range of performance upgrades. The built motor and cylinder head enable the kit to be pushed far past the kits base horsepower levels of 450HP. When using the 116 octane race file the IE Golf R is able to max out the turbo surpassing the 550 HP mark.  Future plans for additional power also include the development of a low pressure fuel system and a plug and play water-meth system.

Everyday Driver operates a YouTube channel (located here) which produces automotive videos for enthusiasts on sports cars as well as a tuner series called Fast Blast. We thought the IE 450T Golf R would be a great match for their Fast Blast series and decided to reach out to them. The result was a genuine 3rd party review that demonstrates how the IE 450T Golf R functions under daily driving as well as “spirited” driving conditions.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Novitec, Unsatisfied with Aventador SV, Adds More Veloce

The Lamborghini Aventador SV is no slouch, but if you’re into Lamborghinis, chances are you’re into big numbers. Whether it’s in the bank or under the hood, a big number could, and perhaps should, always be bigger, which is where Novitec steps in. Novitec has been modifying Italian cars for years, and their Torado line is dedicated to making ridiculous Lamborghinis even more ridiculous. Their latest effort takes the Aventador SV and remaps the engine to give it 786hp and 544 lb-ft of toque. They’ve also fitted the car with a new exhaust system that cuts 50 lbs off the car. Other mods include a carbon fiber aero package, spoiler, front splitter and air intake, all of which helps it shed even more weight. The Aventador also sits on 21 (back) and 20 (front) inch Vossen wheels. So if you think that a regular Aventador is just a little too pedestrian, give Novitec a call and they’ll hook you up.
