Was a DAZA Swap Worth It... or Should I Have Bought an RS3?

Should you DAZA swap your MK7 Golf R... or just buy an Audi RS3? After living with this Audi RS3 (DAZA) engine swap for nearly two years, I'm finally answering the biggest question I've been asked since this build started: was it actually worth it? In this video we break down the real cost per horsepower, the DAZA's long-term power potential compared to the EA888, and whether I'd build this swap again knowing everything I know today. If you're considering a DAZA swap, an Audi RS3 engine swap, or wondering if a built EA888 is the smarter choice, this video is for you.
