It originally came with a turbocharged 2.0 L EA888 inline-four making around 300 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. However that wasn&#8217;t enough for AKA Performance. So they sent the Golf to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sar-turbotechnik.de\/\">SAR-Turbotechnik<\/a> in Paderborn, Germany to replace the inline-four with a turbocharged 2.5 L TFSI (DAZA) inline-five taken from an Audi RS3. The motor features a TTE\/MTR700 turbocharger, custom exhaust, and pairs with a DQ500 DSG seven-speed transmission. The motor is tuned by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtr-performance.de\/\">MTR-Performance<\/a> in Spelle, Germany. They did not release dyno results but AKA Performance states 8xx hp and 9xx Nm (663+ lb-ft) of torque on their website. Other modifications on the Golf include a rear RS3 subframe and Khaki Green vinyl wrap. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?attachment_id=72617\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-72617\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"72617\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?attachment_id=72617\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Golf-R-Mk7-with-a-turbo-2.5-L-inline-five-02.jpg?fit=1160%2C1160&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1160,1160\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Golf R Mk7 with a turbo 2.5 L inline-five 02\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Golf R Mk7 with a turbo 2.5 L inline-five&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Golf-R-Mk7-with-a-turbo-2.5-L-inline-five-02.jpg?fit=1160%2C1160&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Golf-R-Mk7-with-a-turbo-2.5-L-inline-five-02-600x600.jpg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Golf R Mk7 with a turbo 2.5 L inline-five\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-72617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Golf-R-Mk7-with-a-turbo-2.5-L-inline-five-02.jpg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Golf-R-Mk7-with-a-turbo-2.5-L-inline-five-02.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Golf-R-Mk7-with-a-turbo-2.5-L-inline-five-02.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Golf-R-Mk7-with-a-turbo-2.5-L-inline-five-02.jpg?w=1160&amp;ssl=1 1160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/zEeaPjHyJqg\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
