Had a custom throttle cable made up using the original firewall grommet and spring damper, etc. I measured an extra 200mm length added to the original length for both outer sheath and inner cable that was required to have it sit nicely in the engine bay. I got home and the inner cable was around 6mm too short, so I took it back and had a new inner made up with an extra 10mm and is now spot on with the adjustment on minimum, I'm sure it might stretch a little over time.
The 200mm extra length on the outer sheath should be fine for others trying to work out how much extra length is required for a Wagner reverse intake, I am however using a VR6 throttle body adapter plate that adds at least 10mm to the equation, so the inner cable length I used may not be suitable for other builds with a S2 throttle body.
Best part was that it only cost $50!
I modified the throttle bracket on the Wagner manifold to get the correct angle, just need to weld it up now.
Eat your heart out NLA parts and plumbers Took 30min to knock this up, just need to flare the hose ends now or maybe braze a steel ring on the ends for strength
Any idea if it is a 2.8 or 2.9 VR6? And from the looks of it has a bigger bore then the S2 one, right? I'm asking those silly question because I'm on the lookout for a nice easy to mount throttle body (for a custom intake manifold) and this VR6 unit looks perfect for what I need.
If it came form USA than it is 2,8l VR6, becase VW never sold 2,9 VR6 in USA. Hope this helps,
Radiator is from 034 Alex. I wanted to get one made up locally and was getting quotes for over 1k At least I know this will be plug and play, and has all the mounting tabs for the A/C condenser.

It came from USA & I don't know what size engine it was off. It has a bigger bore, but it does taper in and then out again in the centre. It has a hump in the middle, which I think some people machine out. This is the part number of it anyways. 021133061A

It is tapered. I'd have to widen up the intake manifold as well if I wanted it wider, as its the same diameter as the adapter. I fubar'd the s2 throttle body and got this for peanuts from a 95 vr6 and is not modified.
Thanks Pat D!
Running around 470Whp now at 2 bar. Full boost around 4200rpm on 7a cams and pump fuel. But i have a small T4 .58a/r hotside fitted now and will fit T4 .68a/r hotside soon and see what it will do on E85
Did not map my car myself but my tunes says it can make a lot more power.
I have a 2.2L engine!
Sounds awesome, be sure to update your thread with how it all goes I'm running 7A cams .82 hot side and E85 as well. I hope full boost will be around the 4500 mark or earlier. Will see how it all goes, I plan on running the 6262 to about 2.5bar. There are lots of other users of this turbo with smaller engines reaching 600/700whp
