The Other 2.7t B7 Saloon Swap

[Duece McCracken]

Awesome build! Glad to see more progress on it!!

I say I have no intentions on a 2.7t swap, but seeing people do it does get me all giddy, lol. Maybe one day I'll really consider it.

But you have an Avant and already manual… DO IT.

Phil says my harness and coil convert shipped today. Fingers Crossed.


Got my ass handed to me today with more rear end but still steps forward.

Rear calipers on, was able to put SS line on drivers but passengers is rusted shut. Even after floating with PB Blaster, heating up with fire, and banging away with brass hammer.






ECS exhaust mocked up. Plan to weld up som wood the connections to reduce all the clampage.






Drive shaft in.





Front calipers back on for mock up of wheel fitment. Without spacers on B8 peelers gives me about 2mm of clearance between caliper and wheel.






Weird seeing her with wheels on all around but it looks good for winter set till I pull trigger on a track setup






Look at all that droop lol

Tore oem lights apart to transfer HID setup over only to find out burners for oem don’t work on aftermarket set. Gonna need to follow up on what that’s about.

Motor work later this week.
