Hiya Guys
So the new race car is a Mk5 GTi cup BUT it has manual and we want to convert it to DSG. The question is which box do I need to fit it. The current engine is a BWA. So I need to know
Which Box
Which Fly
Which Clutch
I think :)
All help appreciated..

Well DSg Do have a clutch pack in them don't you know :thinking:

They do indeed, but your post was somewhat vague, hence my flippant response :grin:
Anyway....
You need either an 02E DQ250 6 speed DSG from the MK5/6, or a 7 speed DQ500 DSG gearbox from the MK7. The latter is more complicated electronically in terms of retrofit.
You will also need a supporting DSG engine ECU, pedals, console stick, paddles, steering wheel etc etc.
It's not an easy or cheap conversion. You would be better off selling the manual car and buying a DSG in all honesty.

Just a heads up, the MK7 Golf was never actually equip with a DQ500 from factory. A common conversion for Stage 3 / Big power Golf R’s etc.
Gen2 DQ250 in MK7
DQ381 in MK7.5
DQ500 in RS3 / Tiguan / Transporter etc...
