Hey everyone,
So I have a mk5 Jetta (brm) with a stg2 tune. Pretty fun to drive and gets the job done but I want Moar.
Now I’ve been looking around for a while to see if I could find any info on swapping out my BRM for a pd140(BKD) or a PD170(BMN). All I have seen are people using pd150 manifolds, injectors, and turbos on their existing motors to get power in the 200hp range. Nothing about swapping in a whole motor. I’m aiming for something in the 300hp range and from I’ve read doing that on a BRM is $$$.
So my questions is, does anyone know if the BKD or BMN is a straight drop in as far as mounts and electrics are concerned? Can it run off of my current ECU with a proper tune? I figured since it’s mk5 to mk5 it should be a fairly straight forward swap to do, maybe some minor modifications to make it work properly.
Planning on going through Darkside Developments for parts.
Thanks in advance for any help!!!!
