Why did u keep the mk5 rack in there. You can make it work without all the eletronic stuff. I have done so many

I didnt ive used a 2008 caddy hydraulic rack as recomended and used on the Touring car. I did ask around a while ago about using the oe rack and bypassing all the electrics but no one had any idea on how to do it  then VW Racing just said its easier to use a MK4 rack with special mounts or late Caddy.

Sorry no updates i'm busy wiring the front section and upgrading the rear shocks to clubsport.
