VAG VR6 engine + tranny viable?

[Speedy G]

Hey Frank... now I'm wondering if we could get a DSG tranny in there. I'll probably be driving daily with less than 300whp and maybe let it loose on the track once in a while with the full 400whp I'm targetting. Do you know of anyone that's installed one without the entire ECU bundle?

Btw, it looks like I may be able to get a donor after all, just not with an engine I'd like to install in an 818. Most of the local imprezas have 1.6L engines. I'll be on the lookout for an accident donor since a regular 2002 donor goes for USD7-8k. Also, btw, if you're the first installer, and you have to do some fabrication to get the VR6 in there, count me in as a buyer for fabricated parts.

The DSG? Certainly not on an old AAA like mine (I mean I am not aware and not sure if it can be done).
An old friend on the other side of the world (UK) did a R32 swap in his Corrado but he was using the 5-sp still and planned on the 02M, which has been done already.
But, my best guess for that type of swap (DSG) is to look around www.vwvortex.com.

1.6L, that's sounds small!
Unless someone has bought a kit before me and plans on fitting the VR in, I should be the first. Keep an eye on my build thread next year and we'll see how deep it goes into the chassis mods.
