Does anyone have a clue or how I can test to find out why truck is shutting off when I'm backing up!

I actually have a Passat BHW manifold for sale right now if you choose to go that route, I originally bought it for the exact issue you are having with the exhaust and turbo on an ALH, but it didn't work out for me (with RHD it put the turbo in the way of the steering shaft). This allows you to fit a GT1749va/b or BV43 for a little more boost potential. I put on a used turbo with a new CHRA, about a quarter the price of a whole new turbo.
How much?

Found issue with shutting off while backing up. Motor mount broke crushing crankshaft sensor wire. Rebuilt motor mount. Does not shut off anymore. I did buy a wiring loom from Fast forward. Nice!! I do have an issue. Starting after about 3 to 4 cranks. Took measurement of the start time. Can someone cipher this data? vag log

I've been battling long starts on this swap since day one. I have verified the timing multiple times. Completed the hammer mod. Currently around 6. Vagcom displays coolant temp 90c. Fuel temp at -5. Fuel solenoid shows 13v continuously. Should it drop down to 0. I think I read that somewhere. A while back, I repalce the seals in IP and installed new temp sensor. Getting error again. Plenty of power. Runs great just hard start when hot.

P0182 - 35-10 - Short to GND - Intermittent
