Awesome thread, build is fantastic.
Looking forward to updates, dyno plots, and vids!!

This is a build thread. If you read any of it you would see that the OP has done anything and everything except use one of those tuning boxes.NON-USERS PLEASE DO NOT REPLY! I do not want to hear you're rhetoric since most of you seem to be biased toward ECU remaps and your anti-tuning box arguments are only hypothetical.

MT - mistakes happen, no worries. To give you some advice, get a proper tune.
Post #1 and #64Where did you get your fuel filter setup?
Unfortunately swapping in a DSG or even an 02M are not cheap options. The 02M swap in itself would be the cost of the gearbox AND a matching clutch setup. I'm already looking at a new clutch in my current situation. I will have some more info on 02M synchros and why they won't work in the 02Q as soon as I get the 02Q synchros in from the dealer this week. Swapping an entire 1-4 output shaft from 02M is a possibility, but without one in hand there's no way in knowing.
I did ask Darkside for a clutch recommendation. The Sachs SRE DMF setup holds 400ft-lbs consistently on their dyno, so they stand behind that rating. Of course they mention driving with mechanical sympathy due to the DMF which is understandable, but I really think the fluidampr could help with some of that. It's either that kit, or being dumb one more time and trying a heavier SMF and potentially replacing synchros down the road again.
PM sent.I have a hard time believing a bearing failed and caused a failed synchro... especially if you're already running an SMF. The 02M synchros are a confirmed non-fitment in this PFN 02Q. I've gone back to a DMF at this point. The Sachs DMF is a lot beefier looking than the stock Luk version for what it's worth.
I was missing more than just 2nd gear synchro ears, 1st gear was only holding on by one of the three ears.

This is exactly what I don’t understand either. Everyone I speak to who owns a shop says a SMF will cause noise and vibration, but that it can’t/won’t cause internal transmission damageHow are the crankshaft harmonics getting transfered to the synchros, when technically the flywheel (smf or dmf) and clutch should already be fully disengaged prior to putting pressure on the fork collar, therefore applying pressure to synchro to begin synchronization for the input shaft and gear engagement?
