Anyone put an RSQ3 engine & gearbox into a Transporter?

[Power ut]

Sorted the charging accel pedal modifyed
Abs pump wired in
Engine starts and dsg gears work got to add part of bcm next to clear a few more faults
Exhaust/ brakes/ water piping/ intercooler / steering wheel and it’s a trail drive / had to add airbag module too , only awaiting on few bits and that will work great too

@Power ut fancing wiring in another?

Nope lol every module adds tones for issuises

Well I’ve decided to not carry on with conversion . Mainly because of trying to get a t5 bcm to power up

Oh that’s a shame. Was looking forward to see it running!

Main issuises off bcm issuises tbh couldn’t get dash heater controls to and power and bcm for gearbox

What a shame. I was really excited about this build. The T6 collective need you to carry on and finish it.

I bought A old 06 t5 2.5 Lwb manual came up spares spares with a buggerd engine , with 90k on it ,
I just fancied a petrol engine and dsg. , not realising the amount of wireing/ modules issuises I was going to face , let alone getting a audi rs3 dsg modifyed in it on a right hand drive vechical ,
Finally managed some upgrades

Engine and dsg gearbox fitted,
T6 dash fitted,
Dsg remote fitted /
Loads off wireing / modules / ( still some more to do) but she starts off the key
Thinking back don’t think it was the best conversion ,to try tbh

Pics not showing, but fascinated to see more.

Compared to most VW models you don't see nearly as many engine swaps in T5s. Vw traditionally had very modular electronic systems that make them relatively easy to swap, is that not the case on the T5/6?

The dash went in and sorted the heater dails
