I figured it was time to start documenting the build progress and next steps for my MK6 GTI.
It's a 2010 manual transmission two door base, in United Gray... The end goal of this build is 800 wheel on pump/meth and 1k wheel on e85/meth. Don't ask why...
To jump start this process I recently purchased a 2007 A3 3.2 VR6 which will be used for the drivetrain swap. I'd like to run a DQ500, however I am still undecided and may toss in a 'built' 02M... I've read a few DQ250's are still functioning past 850nm, but I'd rather have something a bit more bullet proof.
This thread will log the up's, down's, and everything in between.
Here is the current form/configuration:
