    F/S: T3/T4, Control Arms, Test-Pipe, Coils, Random Stuff


    GodSpeed T3/T4 50-trim. .48A/R. I keep taking turbos in for trades for stuff I do to my friend's car. Did some research on this turbo and it's a GSP turbo which are the more reliable versions of the cheaper Chinese turbos available. Yes it's still a chinese-made turbo but it's not as cheap. On eBay you're looking at around $199.99 to $249.99. I'll let this thing go for $150 shipped. Very fair price for a nice little turbo. Running them at around 20PSI w/ tune have netted folks over on the 'tex 320WHP on a stock bottom-end. There's quite a few threads floating around about people experimenting with them and being very pleasantly surprised. I have no intention of upgrading the turbo on my 1.8T, so I have no need for it.


    B5/'01-03 B5.5 Front Control Arms. Never installed or used! One of them does have a little grease on it. I had attempted to replace my front lower control arms with these but found that they would not fit my spindle. Once I put two and two together I found out my 03 was made after the split-year where Volkswagen had decided to change the size of the spindle mount on the front control arms of the b5.5. So these will fit 03 and OLDER. But will not fit 03.5 and younger. I'll let them go for $50 shipped.


    SOLD!
    Here are some hub-centric wheel spacers. The center hub is typical 57.1 VW. They do not come with the lugs since the ones that originally came with them are WAY too long to be used on the front. I'll include them regardless if you decide you want to install them in the rear. I'll sell the whole package with 10 lugs for $50 shipped. They were never used!


    034 Motorsports PVC upgrade kit for the EARLY AWM motors. Was originally going to go with this but then opted to just clean the system entirely. The only thing missing are the hose clamps. I will let this go for $100 shipped. You can easily get the remaining hose clamps from any auto parts store.


    SAI Removal kit I had put together. Comes with the EGR block-off, with the block breather adapter to replace the OEM unit and resistors for the SAIP. I'll let this go for $50 shipped.


    "T" Hose perfect for a DV relocation. Will let this go for $10 shipped. SOLD!


    2.5" eBay test-pipe with all the hardware. Never used, brand spanking new! $90 shipped. SOLD!


    1.8T AWM coil-packs. Used for less then 5k miles then I upgraded to 2.0T coils. $75 shipped. SOLD!


    OE 1.8T Intercooler. Used but in good condition. $50 shipped.


    Aftermarket replacement axle for a b5.5 automatic 1.8T. Perfect for anyone looking for a low-budget replacement for a donezo axle while waiting for more money for a RAXLE. $50 + shipping costs


    Used but in good condition front lower control arms. $35 shipped SOLD!


    Used but in good condition rear shocks for 1.8T. $30 + shipping


    Used but in good condition front struts for 1.8T. $50 + shipping

    Used but in good condition upper control arms, missing ONE upper control arm, I believe the front one on the driver's side. It had a small 1mm break in the boot and was deemed unsaleable. If you still want me to send it out to you with the four just tell me. $30 shipped.


    4 X 5mm hubcentric spacers, used but in good condition. $40 shipped SOLD!


    Upper strut bushings brand new! $25 shipped


    Manual boost controller. Rather simple. Comes with enough vacuum tubing to get the job done. $20 shipped


    Kicker 3.5" coaxial speakers. These weren't actually ever intended to be put on my Passat but rather a previous project of mine that I had sold. These are brand new. I remember taking them out of the boxes, quickly checking clearances and then boxing them back up and putting them in storage. I bet they sound great for those folks on a budget looking for some killer highs. $25 shipped


    Monster grommets for 10-4 gauge wiring. Perfect solution for those looking for a way to get wires through the firewall. Once again another one of those items not intended for my Passat but could be used on a Passat. $10 shipped


    USB to serial adapter. Purchased from Innovate for my wideband system that I had on a previous vehicle. Never used it. $10 shipped


    Lot of random 2.5" intercooler pipes. Perfect for those last few pieces for an intercooler install, or even fabricate your own cold air intake. $50 shipped SOLD!

    What size are the 2 spacers w/ lug bolts? How many miles on the upper control arms?

    The spacers are 15MM. As for mileage on the upper control arms, I removed them with 78k miles on the car. I only replaced them because I wanted to completely refresh the suspension and braking components. But the rubber does have some surface cracking (not punctured) and such but are a great option for anyone looking for a quick and inexpensive fix to their already blown upper control arms.

    Just know that the bolts are too long for the fronts and might be too long for the rear. But you will have to try them out and then make that judgement yourself. I believe the bolts are 50mm long which most 15mm spacers only require a 40-43mm length.

    My PAYPAL is darkleathe@hotmail.com

    If you can, please send it as a gift with your address in the comments. I will have the spacers shipped out tomorrow morning via USPS. Should be there by Friday.

    payment has been sent... I forgot to ask, are the bolts ball seat? as far as the bolt length, I can cut them down to the right size at work. Thanks and good luck with the sale of everything else.

    PM received and replied.

    Guys, I'm working on getting more thorough pictures of the condition of those used control arms. I know 78k mile used control arms aren't exactly the best but I assure you that they are in great condition considering that fact. I have cleaned them up with some degreaser and elbow grease and the rubbers are actually in better shape then I had originally anticipated. So much so that I kind of regret spending the $300 or so dollars on new equipment when I could have easily drawn these out to well over 100k. Oh well!

    EDIT: Take it back. One of the upper control arms has a small break under 1mm but that's enough to toss it. Glad I cleaned these up and checked 'em before selling them. So I've lowered the price of the set of upper control arms to adjust for the missing upper.

    Hey was interested in the lower control arms. The new ones, did you know what brand they were? I'm going to check my old pair of arms tomorrow to confirm the spindle mount size.

    I don't actually remember what they are. It also doesn't state it on the arm either. They were purchased from FCP Groton. But yeah, so long as you're car is older then '03, you should be fine.

    I wasn't able to check the arms today, but I do have a later model 03. I'll take these for the $50 shipped if I can confirm the fitment. I will definitely check tomorrow. I've ordered arms from fcp before, not too much to complain about. Im in Nj for shipping.

    I have 2000 Passat 1.8t ATW engine; i am interested in the sai removal kit...my pump has water damage and the combi valve is seized. Is this kit intended to trick the ECU into thinking the emissions system is operating therefor turning off my annoying P0411 CEL?

    ^ That replaces the hardware. I told you in another thread, you need a proper tune to "trick the ECU" aka code out SAI.

    hey there, im interested in the 5mm spacers you are selling if you still have them. just one question, do they require longer lugs? id imagine they do, but i can source some, unless you have some youd throw in. im looking for just a mild space on all 4 corners and want to keep it the same all around for now at least, so these would work perfect. pm me if you still have them because id like to pick them up...thanks a lot

    They don't require longer studs. I ran them on my 20s (back when I had them) with the OE studs with no trouble whatsoever. They had enough threads to keep it safe. I believe anything past 5mm will require longer studs. They are still available.

    PM'd you.

    austino- Colorado already answered the question but if you're still interested in purchasing them, let me know.
