That would be pretty cool. Especially if it continues to get 40+mpg. I could write a mileage tune and try for a record lol

That's good news. Once this thing becomes more race car, the passenger side of the dash is coming out, firewall and cowl are getting modified, and compounds will be put in. Probably keep the gt35, and use a gt20xx as a secondary.
Just found this site also, pretty awesome if it's all true:

I still haven't managed to read the entire thread.
The AWD conversation caught my attention. Ever since I learned what they were doing, I have wanted an RCSB swap with AWD capability. The thought of shifting torque bias amuses me.
It seems that from what I saw, a tuned oe control left little to want over an aftermarket. Maybe tunable bias over real time bias?

Supposedly the stock tune will send about 30%power to rear, max. Not sure what aftermarket tunes/controllers will send, but I know the rear diff can't handle as much as the rest of the driveline. So I may just get a tune to make it bring the power in faster.
I can't find the one particular that shows stock tune to the tune where it brings the power in twice as fast, but this one shows stock:

swap parts are in CompD possession, and appear to be whole. Hopefully have them in my possession by the 15th, and start the swap that weekend if the truck is back on its legs.

Who was the guy that put a caterpillar colored BEW (I think) in a green R32 a couple of years ago? I saw it got a photo shoot and then never heard anything else

Never saw it lol. I'd have liked to talk to him when I did my swap though.

I'm failing at finding the thread on TDI club. There was an entire build thread, I remember because I was so impressed to learn how VW did their torque transfer. It's got a magazine shoot also.

compound GTI
The builder of that GTI posted here with the user name under the user name Fouckhest, I know there was a link in his thread to the build thread on the TDI website
