With all the parts finally here and the cylinder head refresh complete, it's finally time to bolt on the Kinetic Stage 2 turbo system.
This is truly a straightforward install, as Kinetic is as well it should be considering they are as well versed in the forced induction VR6 as anyone. As a matter of fact, Kinetic's lead R&D person, Shawn Van Neer, is something of an icon in the water-cooled VW world. We're not suggesting Shawn is old (he is), but whenever you begin to think you've done something first in the world of modified VWs, check with Shawn as there's an excellent chance he's already done it. And 15 years ago, too.
Everything fits nicely and there's not much tweaking involved. The intercooler requires a bit of clearance trimming to the radiator core support and the inner part of the front bumper, but it's pretty standard stuff.
With the install complete, all we need to do is solder in the C2 Motorsport chip that comes with the kit and we're ready to crank.
