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.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
