    i work on VWs all the time on the side and swapped my mk4 Jetta with r32 engine, im always willing to help locals who have trouble. the VW community is about help, and making other people happy with their builds. i cant say much about other communities because last time i was at a jdm show dudes were pretty cocky when i asked certain questions, and just unfriendly. the hot rod community is like the vw, willing to help and have fun with you. they helped with minor issues i was having with my old mans C10. This guy seems like an honest person.

    Wow, Daniel, way to go! We’ve got some things in common. My name is Daniel, too, and I also wanted a Golf 7 with a 3.6 VR6 engine. The German tuner HGP-Turbo built a face lifted 2018 Golf R for me with a twin turbo 3.6, a beefed up DQ500, other RS3 goodies and Audi RS6 brakes (400mm rotors), that just about fit under the 19” OZ Ultraleggera wheels with slight modifications. The car is a lot of fun. Either doing errands or letting it stretch it’s legs on the Autobahn. Thanks for sharing your build and keep up the good work!
