Eager for DSG perks like snappy changes, DSG pop/fart sound , less hassle in traffic and easy cruising when I want to, and dare I say slight improvement in MPG as its a 7-speed going in.
Wish me luck Ill keep you all updated :happy2:

I looked into doing a DSG swap on my old 1.9 TDI
HUGE effort. I believe you need different cluster, ECU, can gateway, obviously gearbox etc.
Do-able but worked out for me to be about £3000. No thanks lol
Would just be cheaper to swap the mods over to a DSG car surely?
Or just buy an R dsg lol
omeydz:
Dont need to change clocks or canbus. Itll sense gearbox in the can wiring.
ECU im getting reprogrammed.
And got a brand new gearbox with mechatronics and clutches etc for a good price.
Got shifter mech, mounts, pedals, shifter
Locating last few bits like flywheel and rest is just new bolts and bits n pieces to get from dealers to make a loom too.
With the number of mods Iv done and hardwired in its lot of effort to swap it to a different car. So Iv created another challenge to keep me occupied :P !
Will update you on final budget when its all done. Hopefully not too painful!! :D

Omar, I know that our engines only had 7 speed DSG but I would definitely go for the 6 speed ones if I could. I guess all that matters is what the diameter of the gearbox. I know that twincharged have different gearboxes so it might be an easy swap (6 speed vs 7 speed).
I am not a big fan of DSG's because they will not hold the RPM's, unless they are have different software. And as far as I know there aren't any companies that can recode the 7 speed dry clutch DSG gearbox, but there are a lot of companies that can recode the 6 speed ones.
Torque won't be a problem for you engine with either gearboxes.
I am really curious to see if you manage to pull it of. Best of luck!
