[@saviour_rides_and_rides]

Sho kg. Cool build bro i wanted to know what i need in order to get dsg on a r32 wih the BUB r32 gearbox do i need a gearbox controller?

[@CarswithKG]

Howzit bro not too sure I am no expert in this I just learn as I go ,but I’m assuming so if you are using a dsg setup you need everything from the donor car including the computer box that actuates the dsg solenoids inside the selector,I think even the gear stick has a sensor in there to check selections and position.even a brake switch cos you can’t switch between Drive ,park and neutral without it.

[@djgeefunk4090]
