BHW/01E 6 Speed Swap

[QuickTD]

Hello, what did you end up doing with the turbo support? I finally got all the pieces together and we’re currently intalling a DQS with the 240 clutch into my 2004 Passat but the starter and the turbo support don’t like each other.

Remove it.

This isn't true, after 2002. later engines have bolt patterns that have different bolting patterns.

Which engines are different? I have (luckily?) not encountered any, but it would be nice info to have.

I can't remember to be honest, it was so long ago now! I suspect I just ran without one. I'll be taking the car apart this winter so I can have a look then.

I left mine off. I think Uberhare did as well

Made a new one mounted on top off the engine mount

I haven't had a turbo support for 3.5 years, and I'm running a bigger, heavier turbo than stock on an OEM manifold
