Dude is humble, but hes low-key an audi genius, and he knows his stuff. He should be building cars like this for a living. Id love to pick his brain about what kind of swaps and manual trans options i can do in my 02 A8.

These two builds right here are so unique. Absolutely love the fact that he kept the swaps within the same brand. That V10 is sick. Love the fact that it was rear wheel drive. And that 4.0 V8 swap out of the S7 is just an amazing build. When all of the kinks are worked out, that will be one of the best Audi builds of all time.

Are you modifying the engine at all? You rarely see 3.6 VR6’s modified like you do with something like a VQ. They seem to pick up solid power with bolt ons and an e85 tune, would be cool to see an NA VR do the same. That along with rwd conversion would be awesome in the Jetta

@@PapiAndrey There’s not a lot of love for the 3.6.. lol, minimal aftermarket since people can pull more out of turbo motors.
