A guy watching his GTI being born in Wolfsburg

[sam67GTD]

Anyone notice that when the chassis was being married with the suspension that the calipers were non performance pack, but when the car was built it had the GTI on the callipers, indicating the performance pack?

And after all that, he went with the crap standard wheels instead of the Austins?!! Plus, they built the steering wheel on the wrong side

The car you're talking about was also a 5 door..

If you watch his other videos on youtube you will see why he specced the cheapest wheel option.

Seems to be removing bits with no obvious purpose in order to save weight.

Smart move.

Well it comes out from under the air filter so perhaps he thinks it was restricting airflow?

he mentions turbo lag so possibly removing that extra piece helps.

Or possibly it acts as a "resonator" to keep noise levels low, the title of the clip leads me to beleive that also "Mini SOUNDtrick"

Someone who has their GTI, go try this quick and report back :-)
