For several generations, Volkswagen fans have wanted the 2,5-liter TFSI engine from the Audi RS3 in the Golf. With the market launch of the Golf R MK8, however, it became clear again that the five-cylinder will be available ex works not in Wolfsburg. The fear of a homemade competitor to the RS3 seems too great. And the vehicle from the following video shows that this fear is not entirely unfounded. Because several VW enthusiasts have simply built the Golf with RS3 power themselves and achieved convincing results. And this vehicle is also a Golf R MK7 with 2.5 TFSI under the hood. The twelve-minute clip shows the owner Kavin in an interview, who explains how the conversion by the tuner Innovative motor sports expired.

Innovative motor sports Incidentally, is a company that specializes in replacing RS3 engines in the Golf MK7. The process takes about five weeks and begins with a crashed RS3 serving as an engine donor. Almost all Hardware will then be replaced, inclusive Motor, Transmission and in this case even that subframe. The result is a fully functional Five-cylinder Golf R without error messages in the instrument cluster and with valid emission standards. According to owner Kavin, the costs in his case, including the sale of the old gearbox and the differential, were manageable.
