loxx101 0 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Right, looking on eBay for general VR6 stuff, and these turbo kits keep popping up.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TURBO-KIT-FOR-ALL-VOLKSWAGEN-VR6-VW-BRAND-NEW-KIT_W0QQitemZ170304276792QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item170304276792&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1778|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318Are these any good?I will assume that to run the 6-7 PSI they are talking about I would need lower compression, which can be done with a shim, am I correct?Just wondering how good these are really, before I go and build a standard VR in my MK2, would it be worth hoofing some extra air through it?!

FishWick 21 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 The kit will work, but for how long and how well is anyone's guess.You'll need other stuff to finish it aswell, and being based around a copy of the ATP manifold, you might have to relocate the brake fluid resevoir.

loxx101 0 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Ah okay.Can this be ran through standard management?It's too tempting for the price it seems.Would you recommend just making your own kit?I see you can also get turbo manifolds for as little as £100.

MaidenVR6 26 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Stay away from this Ebay kits. If you dont have enough money to build the car with proper turbo parts, get a used Z Charger. Cheap, and realible.Why not see if you can buy turbo parts used? Its alot off goodies out there. Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 buy the pars secondhand, it works out around the same, but you can get better quality parts. not a bad idea to work out what your aiming for, as big power will take big money.. 300 bhp is do - able for around the price of a good secondhand charger.. or go for the charger as you can make this amount of bhp from a z or vortech unit Link to post Share on other sites
loxx101 0 Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Very good point! You do get what you pay for, it's true.Yeah I reckon I'll look into the second hand route then at some stage. Link to post Share on other sites
