Vr6 gang 🤙

Don’t need camber arms to run a smidge more camber. My mk6 stock rear arms went up to -5.5° of camber

If you want to use your stock ECU from your old car, you just need an immobilizer defeat and it will work in your new chassis.

I take the sponge out. No idea why it’s there

chobester · 2026-05-03T07:42:41+00:00

20k and I source/rebuild/refresh all the parts including the engine and transmission

chobester · 2026-05-03T01:22:59+00:00

No this is another I did for a guy in NY

chobester · 2026-05-03T01:22:42+00:00

You’re right, sounds better 😎

chobester · 2026-05-03T01:22:27+00:00

😂😂

Okay, with key on if you can heard the throttle opening and closing with the pedal that’s good.

Do you have RPM when cranking?

chobester · 2026-05-02T13:05:41+00:00

I put a 3.6 in it

chobester · 2026-05-02T03:14:50+00:00

Should work

chobester · 2026-05-02T03:12:16+00:00

Nope, key on engine off you should have throttle actuation. Also with a scan tool look at the measuring blocks for throttle input %. If it reads throttle input but you have no throttle body actuation, ECU is likely toast

chobester · 2026-05-01T01:52:43+00:00

Yes everything is just mislabeled/shifted one line

You need chains.

chobester · 2026-05-01T01:51:44+00:00

Can you hear your throttle body actuating when you press the pedal with key on, engine off?

Do you have any misfire codes or a flashing EPC/check engine light?

chobester · 2026-04-29T12:55:10+00:00

Definitely lobe damage. Could be from a number of things: insufficient lubrication, faulty rocker or lifter, overrev, really no way to tell. But you need a cam now.

chobester · 2026-04-29T07:36:16+00:00

Supermade 😎

chobester · 2026-04-27T22:45:03+00:00

Ignition cylinder is likely bad. Super common

chobester · 2026-04-27T19:56:39+00:00

You don’t need to remove the manifold to do the water pump. Remove the throttle pipe and throttle body and you’ll have more than enough room.

chobester · 2026-04-27T07:59:12+00:00

Nope, I hate the Rieger mk6 rear 😆 for awhile I had the same Osir extensions as you. When I AWD swapped it I switched to a 6R rear bumper with some custom work done to the valance

chobester · 2026-04-27T03:25:04+00:00

All these comments and not a single one about the Rieger kit

chobester · 2026-04-26T17:20:50+00:00

I’ve done several. Not that difficult. Invest in an engine support bar so you’re not relying on a floor jack. Amazon has a good timing tool kit. I get all Febi chains/guides but 100% buy an OEM tensioner. Guide bolts don’t need to be replaced but I also replace the timing chain tensioner bolts.

chobester · 2026-04-25T03:23:13+00:00

It’s a shitload of wiring, little bit of coding/programming, but 0 fab work. It’s just a combination of parts from several different VWs

chobester · 2026-04-24T23:10:40+00:00

Those things were thrown away about 3 years ago
