It ended up being an avalanche of problems that led me to sell my project daily driver...
The motor sat for over a year awaiting the swap into the GLX.... in that time, the actuator froze up... the vanes in the 17/22 were stuck also... I think Chris has a pic of it... anyway, the first time I threw the RC6 ECU in it and got on it, the turbo over boosted terribly, lifting the head, blowing the gasket, and most likely warping the head & block.... then the heater core went...
Chris wanted a nicer Jetta for his lady than she currently has, and the built up ALH will be repaired and going into a rat rod TDI in the future, so he snatched it up from me for a fair price and here we are.
....and the reasoning for switching to a wagon w/cargo carrier.... right here:
90lb lab/boxer, 75lb lab/pit, car seat, wife, and all our crap in the cargo carrier......Understandable right?
