Figured another DIY would help.
Another good reference, but its an FSI engine: http://www.stasisengineering.com/si...l_pdfs/STaSIS MTF turbo install Mk V rev9.pdf
TOOLS NEEDED
Another good reference, but its an FSI engine: http://www.stasisengineering.com/si...l_pdfs/STaSIS MTF turbo install Mk V rev9.pdf
TOOLS NEEDED
Prep Work
- Jack the Car Up: Not too high or otherwise you will not establish a good ergonomic standard and will experience back pain, etc. etc.
- Remove Engine Cover
- Drain Oil (ONLY if you need to. I was up for a service at this point so I went ahead and did it. Go ahead and swap filters too)
- Remove Passenger Front Wheel: I went ahead and just removed both
- Remove the Intake: I cannot give accurate pictures of the stock uninstall because I purchased the vehicle with a BSH stage 1 and 2.
- Remove Passenger Splash Shield (T25): Make sure you bag these up and label them.
- Remove Heat Shield
- Remove (6mm Allen) Plug located towards the bottom driver’s side. I used a regular Allen key with a 6mm socket screwdriver attachment as a breaker bar
- Remove (2 x M10 XZN) Bolts holding heat shield to block (Seems that some MK6's have a 6mm Allen for these)
- Remove (M8 XZN) bolt on top of heat shield that holds various lines and intake tubing mount. (Watch out, there is a nut underneath [Some MK6's have this nut welded on])
- Remove (2 x T30) bolts holding the multiple lines to the block. One is located on the driver’s side by the fuel pump and the other by the turbo inlet on the block.
- Unclip Vaccum line and remove from block
- Move lines up and away from the heat shield onto the top of the block. I used a zip tie to hold these back. Remove Heat Shield
- Remove (6mm Allen) Plug located towards the bottom driver’s side. I used a regular Allen key with a 6mm socket screwdriver attachment as a breaker bar
- Remove Downpipe (Honestly, you dont really have to remove the entire thing, just the first portion of the flex pipe: Seeing as though there are many threads for this, I will still include the steps. Please refer to this thread made by Plac: http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25392
- Remove Passenger Side underbody tray (T25)
- Pull O2 Sensor off of underbody stud bracket
- Unplug Harness from bracket (This will help later for uninstall/install)
- Remove Cross Member support brackets (13mm)
- Loosen Sleeve Clamp to CBE (16mm)
- Remove CV Heat Shield (16mm open end)
- Remove DP Flange Nuts: Tricky, but doable. (16mm and PB Blaster) However, your kit includes studs and nuts, so you shouldn’t have to worry about ease of uninstall
- Remove Downpipe Bracket (13mm)
- Remove DP
- Swap O2 Sensors at this time to your new OEM DP (Or not, if you’re using stock hardware) (22mm or 7/8” Combination Wrench)
- Remove Pancake Pipe (2 x T30) Undo Hose Clamps and the two bolts holding it to the block
- Disconnect DV and N75 Connectors. Its best to push IN the connector then pull the tab, that way the pressure can be lifted off the tab.
- Cover Front Sub-frame with towel. I managed to drop a few washers and tool bits in there and had to fish them out with my magnetic hook. Pain in the ass.
Time: 2.25 Hours
