Consensus on OEM vs aftermarket DSG fluid?

That must not have been fun at that speed. Sorry to hear that happened. Those v12s were cool, though! Massive engines!

Oh its all good, I figure if I am going to do something more than the Macan swap that I already have, make it worthwhile. Also recently here locally Autocross events are now a thing. The first event was last weekend. They are also planning other events but not sure what.
you can do an 18z swap, but it has a lot involved (merc rotors, different knuckles, etc)....have to think an RS set of 6 pot would mount up with right rotors and carriers.

What about the other 3 cylinders?
Didn’t have time last night. Might check them today.
Had time, so went out and checked the other three. I’ll look clear and in a good shape.

From my experience as long as it matches VW spec your good to go.

Unless it's a really small region, most autox regions follow the national scca rules for cars where a new brake setup pushes you into the more "prepared" categories.
This may not matter to you if you're not looking to be competitive in your class.
Neuspeed has a 6pot that bolts up. Not sure how many people use that kit, though. Seems normal enough and pistons look about right vs stock size, but I'm not sure if they publish the piston size spec. Ideally you want to be within 0 to -5% of your original piston area to avoid impacting how abs functions and how brake bias is distributed.

Based on FBO IS38, I'm gonna guess he's already in SM(F) or XA, if the local region runs it. @EpicTech go have a blast. AX is a ton of fun if you don't take it overly seriously. It's a very humbling sport with lots of folks who've been doing it for decades, but everyone I've ever met through it has always been welcoming and super friendly.

On my first change, the indie used the Liqui Moly DSG fluid. Car functioned like factory. Most recent fill up was back to OEM and feels exactly the same. Not sure what is happening internally, but neither shop reported anything out the ordinary.
So I feel like ^this is probably accurate.
Thanks, I'm sure it will be a blast. I'm mainly just looking to make sure the car is as dialed as I can get it. Even if I'm the slowest around the course I'm going to be having fun doing it lol. I plan to bring a portable air compressor so I can run lower psi in the tires for grip, and some basic tools so I can pop the rear seat out. Hopefully I can get my coilovers adjusted so I can run that taller sidewall tire up front too. Right now they dont fit.
