if you can get up to HB SMS European is top-notch, Did my TB and finished a manual swap on a mk4.

I've had a good interaction at Top shop. Does it need a TB or is the IP quantity off?

Hey fellow 805 local, The nearest best TDI place is in Huntington Beach, SMS European. Avoid the places in Ventura like the plague; AG Autoworks and Concours motors. There may be some decent places on the trusted mechanics lists, last I recall there were a few trusted TDI mechanics in SB.

Checkout "quality german auto parts" down in Victorville, i got my swap kit for like 900 bucks

try messaging Matt-98AHU , he's in your neck of the woods. Or check out the trusted TDI mechanic link

Im wondering for those that have autocrossed the mk4 platform what wheel size did you choose? I have 15's on my wagon right now but im looking to get another set of OEM wheels in either size up to 18's GLI BBS's.

I second SMS euro, I drive over two hours to get to Huntington and had him do my TB and 5-speed swap on my ALH, and he's resealed my injection pump too plus. He's been nothing short of awesome in every interaction I've had with him. 100% worth the drive.

where about in the valley, I'm interested

I don't know if you found someone but i recommend SMS European in Huntington beach, also try posting on the Westcoast page too there are sometimes more replies there.

its just adding some un-needed hassle and stress, its funny the TDI's are more efficient tuned. Hopefully it doesn't make smog more exepsnive

Im looking to upgrade the shifter on my DQY trans, it has the 02A shifter and I need everything to swap in the O2M shifter to use the diesel geek short shift kit

I generally cruise at 70-80-ish depending on the day lol, the poor automagic is screaming at 2700+. based on the calculator i used .658 would be good, i just need one for a good price. The clutch and swap kit took a good bite out of the old wallet

hmm noted, i can't seem to find that thread, there are a few hits on google but it talks about the mpg gain. I've seen some on ebay but im not too sure. I'm going with the stage 2 south bend and adding the diesel geek shift kit.

Howdy, I'm looking at doing a 5-speed swap and some more mods down the line, and looking for a place to buy the .622 gear for the highway. I'm looking for recommendations on a clutch that could handle a Malone stage 2 or 3 tunes; paired with an upgraded exhaust(Catback most likely since I'm in...

I've had some luck here in SoCal but my wagon's trans is dying and I'm on the hunt for a shop to do the swap lol

I noticed this today and under acceleration from a start there's a sputter like a bad CV joint but I've checked both sides inside and out and all boots are in solid shape and the on problem boot was replaced. And I think it's the transmission. I think tomorrow I'm going to look at the fluid and...

still available?

Hi there, The 01M in my wagon with about 204k on it has been acting up, to build the background the fluid was changed at 193k so it's fairly fresh. For those 10k miles, it was fine but I've a constant pending TCC lockup code(01192) and now it actually triggers the code on VCDS...

I have some in my wagon. I've had them for about 2 months, I'm 5'9 and stockier build and they're snug and in all honesty, I struggle to get out at times but they make driving feel better and they sit lower in the car.

second, is it a 5speed, if so whats the issue?
