jarmitage1986 0 Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Right, I have bought a Mk5 R32 engine to swap into t'old golf. my question to the experts is "what is the prefered method of running this engine, on standard VW management or standalone management?" I'm thinking VW management, but I'm open to people's opinions. By the way, the engine has come with a DSG gearbox which will be for sale if anyone is interested. Cheers, James.
