wasn’t really sure what all was involved… made it sound like a bolt in. i agree it would probably be cheaper / easier to just trade up to R32 and 1.8t it. My brother was just at the dealer looking at them and GTIs. He loves the dubs. ---

He loves the dubs. youve gotta change the rear suspension to the R32 IRS, R32 fuel tank, R32 back half floor pan, the Haldex rear end, new exhaust, then you need the Haldex output for the front, the ECU for it, the TT bellhousing and 6speed tranny, then youve gotta either buy or build a Haldex controller for the AWD function. alot of welding and grinding involved, aligning. much patience. ---
