DSG to 6 speed swap on an MK5 PD BRM TDI

[@dwitcraft]

Great video, super helpful.

[@TDISwaps]

Thank you! Glad to help!

[@BradyDravk-g2o]

is this trans a o2q 6 speed? if so what’d you do to monitor speed. also clutch setup on it? thanks

[@TDISwaps]

I would have to check on the exact engine code, I believe it was from a 2014. Speed on the BRM mk5 is from wheel speed sensor sensors, we used the stock clutch for the 2014 TDI

[@BradyDravk-g2o]

appreciate it. currently swapping in a 6speed into my mk5 brm and just trying to cover all my bases while i’m waiting on parts to come in

[@cumminstd9090]

Where did you source your 6 speed and associated parts? Donor vehicle?

[@TDISwaps]

I got the kit from www.korwerksllc.com/

[@avenged06x]

I am swapping a whole engine and manual trans, ecu, cluster into a 2012 JSW TDI. Where you able to sort out your cruise control, reverse lights, etc? My ecu will be set to malone to have it tuned and deleted.

[@TDISwaps]

That stuff unfortunately has not gotten finished, the newer wiring is not as easy as I was hoping, even wired back to factory setup I cannot seem to get the cruise to work. Sorry I cannot be of more help there

[@avenged06x]

@@TDISwaps that's a bummer to hear, do you think it's something that needs to be flashed in the ECU? I'm wondering if I'll have that in the MK6 platform.

[@jpatt5054]

@@avenged06x I have a dead DSG in my golf TDI. Thinking about buying a salvaged Jetta TDI manual to swap from. Pretty straight forward? I found a guy on TDI club did a JSW manual swap. I assume it's the same for a golf

Hi i would like to do this to my Octavia A7 1.8TSI , how much will it cost for a 6 speed manual ?

[@TDISwaps]

I got this 6 speed with all the parts to swap from www.korwerksllc.com/ not sure if that would be cost effective from your location, but all their prices are listed there

[@a88888888a]

⁠that website doesn't work anymore. How much was your swap

[@TDISwaps]

@a88888888a I think it was $1500 for everything, you can source it all with the newer 6 speed gassers now and still have decent gearing

[@tikiman48]

I’m going to do this to my TDI some time soon. Do you know what to do about ecu communication?

[@TDISwaps]

At least for the PD engines ECUs they need to be flashed by a tuner

[@tikiman48]

@@TDISwaps okay, then I imagine it’s the same deal for cr engines too

[@TDISwaps]

@@tikiman48 yes I think somewhere like Malone tuning should be able to set you up if you can mail them the ECU

@@TDISwaps awesome. Thanks.

[@TDISwaps]

No problem man!

[@Anthony-sr3if]

im using a 07 gti 6 speed doner for my 09 jetta tdi dsg swap ... will this work if the bell housing fits?

[@TDISwaps]

It will work bell housing wise, but the gear ratios are lower so you will run higher RPM than a 5 speed I think

[@Anthony-sr3if]

@@TDISwaps i was thinking the same. Nothing wrong with starting in 2nd gear lol. Do you recommend a certain fuel pump for a bosch 1700 cc injectors

[@TDISwaps]

@@Anthony-sr3if no stock pump is good to like 300 HP, but starting isn't the issue, I think gti 6th gear is lower than the TDI 5th gear

[@Anthony-sr3if]

Hey brother, 2 Years later and I finally have my engone /6speed swapped into my car. I'm having a couple of issued and was woundering if we could chat via , Instagram or email. Thanks dude.

[@marvinharvey9856]

Did you reuse the starter or did you need a new one?

[@TDISwaps]

The kit came with one but I think any 5 or 6 speed manual starter will work

Maf sensor delete?

[@TDISwaps]

Correct ya I try tune those out on everything

[@rogelio111992]

@@TDISwaps how does it operate compared to having a map sensor? I'm currently building my brm for performanve. I was thinking about try a waste gated Garrett gt2052 and gt3071r compound setup instead of the traditional vnt.

[@TDISwaps]

Well you have to have a MAP sensor to control fueling but with a good tuner it can run almost exactly the same without the MAF. You just have to deal with the lag of a non VNT turbo and wait longer to make boost and to spool up to full boost. I have the gt2052 on my jeep and it takes 2200-2400 RPM to really kick in, with a compound setup it will slow a little more so I wouldn't expect spool up until closer to 3000 RPM

[@CrAzYDr1veR]

funny i would like to convert my 6spd to dsg lol

[@TDISwaps]

Lol ya I do like the DSG, makes for some super fast 0-60 times, but this was way cheaper than replacing the DSG lol. The ECU communication seems to be much more complicated than expected. I was hoping to just change coding in VCDS but apparently that's not possible on 2006+ VWs

@Louie vs I am really enjoying my new tunes from Tekmektronics. He only does them on the side, but he knows his stuff. You have to buy a $30 cable but much easier than Malone Tuning's rental tool or buying the $200+ flash tool.
