Awesome! I’m in the process of rebuild the engine of my MK2 16v, your videos provides me inspiration to keep going!!✌🏼

[@MysteryGarage]

Thanks that means a lot!! Definitely a goal of mine with the channel! Awesome good luck with your build!

[@jimlumsden2711]

Hit the gas!!!!!! When are you going to post the video from in the cab where you hammer it?

[@BioSurge]

It's a Mk1 Golf. It must rattle.

[@BioSurge]

O and BTW. Love your show.

[@sunoclockoneday2576]

Yeah if a good punch or a hard launch doesn't make it go away I would just leave it alone

[@michaelbonner8662]

VR sounds sooo good. I had a 98 VR jetta new. Loved her.

[@MysteryGarage]

Right? That's actually exactly what this powerplant was from, 98 Jetta lol. Thanks for the comment as always! Cheers

[@hujek111111]

BEAUTIFULLLLLLL!!!!!!!!! awesome job mister!!! love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MysteryGarage]

Thank you so much!!

[@sunoclockoneday2576]

I went through a lot of gas caps on mk1's back in the day

[@vr6projects]

Love the set up, same charger I have looks like a v9 f because of having the oil feed, and being fed from the sump... Also have the VF engineering kit 👌 love the fact you took it easy to just have a 1st rip/run to check it all over👍 Will be excited to see the next rip with a bit more of a push on that accelerator but safety first at the same time 👌

[@MysteryGarage]

Hahaha absolutely! Thanks for watching! Appreciate it very much! That car will make a return in the new year

[@vr6projects]

@@MysteryGarage sounds good my friend 👌and honestly not a problem it's good content to watch 👌

MOAR!!!!

[@MysteryGarage]

Hahaha thanks! Will do!

[@ryansherwin6460]

Awesome.

[@MysteryGarage]

Thank you

[@kamfreed6198]

This video pretty much somes up what I want to do because I've been looking into purchasing a 1987 vw rabbit it's pretty mint but it's a rag top instead of a hard top

[@MysteryGarage]

Love it!!

[@daikancho332]

Absolutely enjoyed this - subbed immediately. Just wondering if you have any advice for someone with NO experience as a mechanic, but a great love for all things Mk1. Should I look for a college course? Or would you recommend buying a rabbit and figuring things out as I go?? Any tips appreciated-thanks!!

[@MysteryGarage]

I would recommend the latter for sure, go out buy a car and start playing! That’s the way I learned. There so much access to easy information these days, forums, websites, social media’s, people out there would be happy to help with questions etc every step along the way, the car community is great that way! So go find that car, and good luck with your build!! Cheers

[@daikancho332]

@@MysteryGarage Hey man - thanks for the encouragement! Much, much appreciated. I'm going for it!!

[@diffsnicker6570]

I used to have a diesel rabbit with a horribly rebuilt engine and wanted to swap it but changing out the gas lines scared me away... this beauty appeases me... for now

[@MysteryGarage]

Oh don’t be discouraged, it’s easier than you think! Then again keeping it diesel isn’t a bad form these days either! The power from those engines can be built up to seriously impress!! Appreciate the watch and thanks so much for the support! Cheers

[@hoffa2586]

I would imagine extra oil is needed for this similar to if you had an external oil cooler? Nice job looking forward to a tune and full rip!

[@MysteryGarage]

Totally agree! Thanks for watching!

[@jonathanluna1597]

Hey awesome build. I’m doing a vr6 swap on my 1987 cabbie from a corrado. So would all the braking system swap over?

[@waylandsmith3981]

Finally !!!!!!

[@MysteryGarage]

Hahaha more on this car to come i promise!!

[@ridiculousness7477]

Beautiful build man! Question; I have a nicely sorted mk3 VR6. Would you prefer supercharger vs turbo? Build cost difference? (Low boost) Thank you

[@richardlandry1955]

Nice build! Just finished watching the 6 part video. Keep em coming ! And I’m wondering how the supercharger ran with your stock ECU.

[@MysteryGarage]

It runs very well actually! But before I go hard on it, I want to get some dyno time, or atleast an air/fuel ratio gauge to be sure I’m not sending it lean! Cheers!!

[@json8172]

I have noticed some odd oil issues with my g60. Where it will be lower on the dipstick when running.

[@MysteryGarage]

ya that can be a finicky thing! add a hair more for safety hahaha. Thanks so much for watching, appreciate the support!! Cheers!!

[@Datwookievr6]

Are you on stock ecu here?

[@JunkVWs]

that tiny off center steering wheel is hilarious :D Is thet dent on the rear quarter panel new? didn't notice that one before

[@MysteryGarage]

Hahaha ya the off center part still throws me off sometimes, weird getting used to. Nah dents old, actually came with the car when I bought it, never tried to fix it, thought it gave it some character. Now paired with the door dent, it just looks terrible hahaha

[@rodrigoalducin5659]

What supercharger did you put it ?? I whant to do the same protect and I didn't found any supercharger for it

[@MysteryGarage]

Check out vf engineering, this is an older kit for the mk3 that I bought second hand but maybe that can help point you in the right direction! Thanks for watching and I appreciate the support! Cheers

[@ProjectRescues]

I got an '83 GTI VR6 swap project for sale if interested. I got everything to do the swap.

[@tray9573]

Where are you located?

[@danielvalencia2041]

Can you work on my vr6 to

[@jdportwerks6795]

I’m wondering why didn’t get on it Just to kinda show what it feels like🤷🏼‍♂️ besides the little burnout!

[@MysteryGarage]

Ummm 2 reasons actually, this was more of a "first time out" soft cruise kinda thing, once I'm happy with the work done and tested it a few times ill be harder on it. But as in this day specifically, i did tromp on it a bit harder but my video gear did a terrible job of "in car footage" so that all got cut out on the editing floor, too blurry and crappy to use. Some examples can actually be seen in the video as i left some of it in!! But I've pledged to improve the incar stuff on the channel since then and working on acquiring far better gear!! Learning as i go on the filming side of things that's for sure!! Youll see the changes on some of my newer stuff... But appreciate the comments as always and thanks for watching, lots more on this build to come!! Cheers

[@jdportwerks6795]

@@MysteryGarage amazing work man! The footage is actually great and love the details! Well done!!! I just ordered MSD also since My friend broke the coilpack yanking the engine out for me. And I’ve been told the factory coil sucks anyway. Was wiring a pain in the ass?

[@jdportwerks6795]

@@MysteryGarage sorry for the questions.... what did you do as far as cluster working with VR? I’ve been told and seen everyone utilizing the original cluster to the donor car and never figured out why?

Much appreciated!!

[@localenterprisebroadcastin5971]

Beautiful swap👍 I think the VR6 is the most underrated gasoline engine in existence...having looked at your set up, maintenance looks like a bitch 🤷🏼‍♂️ but still bet she’s a lot of fun to drive

[@MysteryGarage]

awww man its not that bad, wicked little car for sure!!! I love it!!! Thanks for the support! Cheers

Wookie noises

[@euroshane]

This was a huge cock tease Ive watched 2 videos of driving waiting for a rip and all i got to see os daily driving 🤔 you could have driven it around without a supercharger if you only want to go that fast lol

[@Energiehalrotterdam]

Where is the sound of vr6 ? This one is to soft

[@MysteryGarage]

Exhaust choice I guess... actually I think it might be my film gear because in person it’s 👌👌
