Dan finally gets to install the GTI's IS20 into his MK7.5 Golf Sportwagen. It's a great little hand-me-down from the 2.0L Golf GTI. This brings the power levels of the Sportwagen close to "stage 2" of the GTI with some E30 ethanol blended fuel. The sportwagen is slowly losing it's Slowagen status.
This process is identical for all 4 cylinder 1.8L or 2.0L MQB cars which includes the Audi A3, Audi S3, Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Golf GTI, Volkswagen Golf R!
We skipped over the removal of the downpipe as we have a separate Unitronic downpipe install video (check out the previous video). Otherwise this is a comprehensive video on how to remove an IS12 and install an IS20 in any of the MQB platform cars (2015-2021). That includes the A3, S3, Golf, Golf GTI, Golf R, Alltrack, and Sportwagen.
I highly recommend you buy an IS20/IS38 turbo install kit from FCP euro. This will give you a bunch of new o-rings, gaskets, and hardware to make sure your new turbo is running leak free.
