MF Auto Inc. Corrado Race Car with 2L TDI Swap

Some of you may know who MF Auto Inc is. Some may not. We are an Independent VW/Audi shop here in Knoxville, TN. We work in Service, Sales, New & Used Parts, and Performance. We are also TDI specialists. We have had a new project that has been underway for a short amount of time. This Corrado race car is not the typical race car as it has a 2.0L TDI swap. After running short on time before SOWO, we finally got a couple of minutes to get the CBEA common rail swap running in our Corrado race car. As far as we know, this is the first EDC 17 Immobilizer defeated swap in the world, with the help from C2 Motorsports. We will finish up by removing the existing MKVI interior and exterior fuse panels by wiring the CBEA harness into the CE2 panel used in the Corrado . Hope to have the car on the track at it’s first race next month.

Nice swap! Is it FWD?

Is the EDC17 IMMO delete secret?

Yes this Corrado is FWD. As for the IMMO delete I am not sure how much of a secret he is keeping it.

C2 Motorsports was able to defeat the Immob for us.

So many shades of awesome!!! Great work, guys!

Any videos of the car in action?

You NEED to get the C2 guys to post up on here about the immo delete. They could make a goldmine out of doing just those. That unlocks the swapping and tuneability factor for the CR's as a $3K plus standalone ecu won't be the only option anymore. I'm definitely doing a CR swap into a RCR Razor now .

Nice work BTW! Now put a real turbo on that motor and let her scream!

Kick ass...

You guys did my ASV install & 01M delete a few years back when I had the VNT-20.

Curious on your turbo(s) choice. Should be pretty wicked when it's dialed in

Does it run allready?
I'm doing a Golf MK2 with a 2012 CR engine at the moment.
Hope i get it running..

Well, it's time for a nice little update. As of 12:00 AM last night the Common Rail TDI Corrado race car is finally sorted. It's been a long, long road! We have been through many time consuming hold ups. Most of which were immobilizer defeats on multiple ecu's trying to find the most usable, but as is the case with most late model swaps these things are slow going at first and start getting easier to get done with time. So 3 ecu's later, the first 2 which took 1 year each to go to Europe and back and now the 3rd which was defeated in the US about 2 months ago. We originally had the car running off the first ecu about a week after SOWO 2011, but had many driveability issues. These have now been sorted and the car pulls extremely hard. Many people said it couldn't be done, but this car is running of the ECU and Can Bus module only! We are trying to get everything else finished up fo VIR this weekend. Will post up some video if we make it. And as far as some of the questions about mounts, we made custom mounts for the Corrado subframe, and this car is running off of the Corrado CE2 panel with no J519 from the 09 Sportwagen.

Do IT!! More TDI's in racing is a wonderful thing! I love seeing this happen.

Looking forward to a full report! I actually almost did this, before we came across our MK5 Jetta I had a CR2.0 and a Corrado, when we found the MK5 I sold the Corrado SLC for $300.
