2002 Wagon build (electronics too)

[dan30thz28]

Hey everyone,
Hope you are all doing well. I'm buying a 2002 Jetta Wagon with only 101,000 miles on it (mine is almost at 440,000 miles now--keeping it too) It's a decent long list of mods, but I'm trying to pick the best vendors for this. Roman in PA is doing the build for me Here's engine side:



17/22 turbo (or an equivalent),

pp520 injectors, (correct turbo inlet pipe for this setup),

limited slip differential (what brand/price do you all recommend?),

.658 5th gear,

clutch upgrade, and a

tune of course (which Roman is going to do).



VR6 brake upgrade (Roman's got this part too)


Electronics:
Witson Radio w/apple car play (anyone using one in a MK IV)
Litke Dash (anyone using one in a MK IV)


Thanks for any assistance you can provide, it's been over 3 years since I modded my other Jetta, so any insights would be greatly appreciated.


Sincerely,

Sounds like a nice find!
I would check out DBW's service at http://www.dbwllc.net/
unless you have someone local who can refurb your injectors at that level.
For the other stuff, idparts is well respected. Here are some others.
cascadegerman.com
metalmanparts.com
worldimpex.com
dieselgeek.com
1stvwparts.com (dealership with lower prices)
advancedautomotion.com
franko6 (member here, no website)
BTW - what's a "Litke Dash"? Bing has failed me.

I've got the Peloquin LSD and love it.

I highly recommend a .717 5th, with the setup you're contemplating.
Much better ratios for the motor rev change. At 80mph I'm doing ~
2600rpm, the motor loves it in the mid 2's.

See my sig for mods, very similar to what you're proposing.

You can do better on injector setup finding a local shop. My Wuzetem
.230's came in at ~ $300 popped and balanced, I installed them myself.
Not a big deal.


PM me for details of some local (SE PA) shops that can help with the
transmission, injector work, and tuning.

I just replaced my original front springs because the front was sitting very low. I gained about an inch of ride height and had terrible thumping on acceleration in higher gears. 4 new GKN joints cured the issue.
