not to be judgmental but he looks like a guy that would cut ECUs out of cars in the junkyard...

Is this legit...is that the same TDI in the springs lot? pretty funny. Ended up getting our ECU off of ebay

I'm currently running an 02d syncro 5 speed box mated to a BHW TDI in my 02, but I'm going to take things apart and swap in a newer 6 speed from a T5/6 that I have over the winter. The T4 inner cv joints actually fit on the stub axles of the 0a5 gearbox that I have. If you guys are interested in a factory rebuilt 02d syncro box email/message me on here because I wont need it once it's out. Also, I love what is happening in the Cavevan shop, you guys are doing good work.

iwannajettatdi: Sent you a PM

Got a response from Frans! Compiling a final list of parts for an order :D

-Solved the CV axle question. The ends pop right off and you can swap them. We have 3 ABS ends so just need to source one more. May have found one on thesamba




-Took a second look at the MAF and thought hmmm they look very similar why don't I just bolt it in? Well the 1z MAF is of a smaller diameter and is not a simple bolt in swap. Have the question in with Frans whether the 2.5 TDI MAF bolts right in with the proper 6 pin plug or what I need to do to swap. We are wanting to source OEM parts instead of fabricating where possible so we will see what he says.

VR6 MAF


1Z MAF


1Z MAF lined up with VR6 airbox

Well, I pulled that photo from UPUP CO Springs website and it was the only AHU in there. So it may have been that guy!
