That was the best part of Interstellar, especially the music.

Aaron Zambrano says:

Easy job. It's even easier than it was made to be in this video.

Everth Arceta says:

Wow, thank you for this video, was curious to see it done but you guys provided step by step. Thanks

sooperwill says:

YES! Thank you for this! Thanks paul!

nickolas says:

No way I am going to attempt this.

Still watched the entire video.

Nicholas Mumford says:

That’s the cleanest turbo inlet I’ve ever seen lol

aecasasus says:

Is there tunes available now for the IS38 upgrade on a 1.8?

fredy gump says:

Does that "turbo muffler delete" actually make a difference? I know the part has been around a long time, and I thought people said it doesn't make any difference…but I've seen a couple builds that throw it in.

RawdogginCowboy says:

Great video. Wish we had this video a month ago when i helped a buddy install his is38. We went to torque the mounting bolts on and snapped a bolt off in the block.

Samlap25 says:

Great video, what tune would you guys recommend for a 17 GTI with PP 6-Speed? I’m leaning towards UM $600 tune which bumps up HP/Torque a good bit. Thoughts or recommendations?
