Default RS6 Steering Rack Swap - Can It Be Done?

While the allroad is still in pieces, I'd like to install the quicker ratio RS6 steering rack, but I have no idea if it will bolt up.

Has anyone looked into this?

I'm not sure, but I'm afaid the firewall and subsequent mounting points may differ. But if there's any way to get better gearing, I'd be interested in knowing what steps to take.

Anyone?

Did you compare the part numbers on VAGCAT.com? Perhaps Phil or Carson can chime in....

Default Saw your car at ASP this week. I dropped mine off for working out the kinks, FMIC, and final tuning.

You engine looks like nothing special in the stand, but I'm sure there is evil lurking inside. Sweet.

Say high to my car if/when you are over there.

Oooh FMIC. I'd love to see any tech when you finish.

Default 3.0 crank, bored 2.7 block, custom forged pistons and rods, 2.7 head...

I don't expect it would look like much all bolted back together though.

Did you go with the black or silver FMIC?

I've decided to go with black all the way around - FMIC, 6 pot Stoptechs, black roof rails, RS6 exhaust tips, window surrounds, tailgate trim, MTM bi-motos with the 'titan' (dark grey) paint, polished face (as pictured below).

sort of an "RS allroad plus", I guess.

I'm hoping it will be done in just a couple weeks at this point...

Basically, it will look like this: (no bulll bar on the front, but it will have the MTM flares and wheels w/285/35/19 PS2's)

Default You are aware that you could be banned to the RS6 forum with all these mods ;-)

Darn, what a beast....can't wait for the numbers it will produce.

Default I did not know there is a black option. I'll have to ask Mark/Frank about that.

I'm sure I would prefer it. In fact, I'm really sure I will prefer it as it would stand a better chance of being wifey detection proof.
