Mad MK6

Update:

I've been doing a ton of research on the swap details before ordering any significantly expensive hardware... I've been talking with a few industry leaders trying to get as much detail on paper before having a bunch of hardware collecting dust that does not function as it should. I want to thank these individuals for their time answering some of my questions: Issam (iABED Industries), John Staffi (Unitronic), Fred (United Motorsports), JR (U-20T), R-Performance Poland, HPA, Marcel (P-Motorsports), TVS Engineering, the crew at Don Octane, and Team HST.

I've learned quite a bit in the last couple weeks and will be sharing some of that information as the build moves along.

That's all for now... I am closer to ordering up a DQ500 from Issam, but still working out the wiring/communication hurdles before jumping the gun!

Got a bit side tracked and picked this up to keep me busy while waiting for overseas contacts to get back to me...

It's an 81' Yamaha Virago XV920

Thanks guys!! I love it and it's been over 15 years since I've been on a bike... Tons of fun and a great distraction.

No major updates on the GTI at the moment. Body shop appointment is getting close and I'm about to start stripping down the A3...

Same here,

Also, did you have any issues with the brake kit fitment on your ball joint/control arm setup?
Did you cut into your original fenders and then add the flares?
What turbo are you going to run to aim for 800/1000whp?
Profile says last seen in 2021 - I wonder if this thing got totaled or sumn...
