    It is for an ALH. Even any of the partial pieces would really help, especially the coolant hose. Just PM me. Thanks.

    Auto - Auto swap?

    Looking at some MK4 Jetta's and have a q or 2. How hard is it to swap the 4 speed auto to the 5 or 6 speed auto? Where do I source these trannies? In case of it being a stupid idea. Are there some good low stall torque converters and performance rebuild kits?

    New car and now questions.

    I now have a 85' Jetta TD. When I go to make a intake do I need to hook up any of the hoses to it? I figure I can vent the pcv to under the car and I think the other one is the overboost protection which I plan on deleting since I want to run more than 11 psi. Or do I really need them? Where do...

    Coolant Ball Delete

    I found that I coolant ball is leaking. And rather than replace it, I would rather delete it. Has anyone else done this? What all do I need to do, like in write-up steps? I know it is different than a 1.8T especially in that they have a tee fitting that splits between the ball and the turbo, and...

    Performance Radiator? and another ?

    Are there any performance radiators out there available for these cars? I am having a mystery coolant leak. And if I trace it to the radiator then I don't want to replace it with plastic end-tanks. On that note would there be any that have a fill cap on the radiator itself. I realize this would...

    Idle speed change how to Q?

    I have read everything I can about changing my idle speed. I talked to my tuner about it and they are saying that the idle speed is controlled by the chip and changing it with VAG-COM is only good for when its hooked up. Is this so? From what I read I can just change it using VAG-COM. If this is...

    Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge?

    Is anyone here running a mechanical oil pressure gauge? If so how do you have it mounted? I am thinking of the New South MK3 Column Gauge Pod to house the oil pressure. Will there be enough room to route the braided line to that location? Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

    Guide pin help needed.

    I was changing my brakes and behold the bottom guide/slide pins on the caliper carrier were stuck. One of them broke. I drilled it out, but I need all new guide pins and boots. Any place I checked just said that they didn't have them. They instead had some stupid oversize thing that isnt even...

    Turbo Options?

    I have searched and searched and found nothing of anyone asking about what turbo options are out there for these cars. I know you can do a VNT swap, and there is a larger KKK style one. But what flange is this turbo using (i.e. T3, T4, VW proprietary, Subaru style, etc)? Are there adapters to...
