CDL Swap on MK5 GTI
« on: Yesterday at 12:44:38 am »
I have bought a MK5 GTI BWA with DSG, I want to CDL Swap the car and perhaps in the process stage 2 it aswell. I was wondering what would be required to do the swap and what would need to stay from the BWA engine?

Complete CDL engine with turbo, intake, dv etc, CDL ECU, and if you want to save yourself the hassle of re-coding your instrument cluster, get the cluster from the cdl donor as well. Wiring should be the same between both engines so no need to swap anything there.

Your overall best bet is to get a cdl engine donor car and swap everything necessary, rather than swapping them piece by piece. If you only want to go stage 2, keep your bwa or fit 2nd hand injectors and k04 on it. A set of brand new injectors and a 2nd hand k04 will cost almost the same as an entire cdl engine

How much you getting the CDL for, and is it bare block only or with full auxiliary’s??
Might have a K04 kit available if you need, including injectors. However will have to confirm if still available

You need just the engine, including k04 kit and injectors. No need for ecu or clusters regarding immo.
Technically, minimum parts you could just get block (bottom half) of engine CDL/BHZ with k04 and injectors.
However you will need to flash the ECU with a stage 2(+) map to get it all running smoothly
