mrjb 0 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Hi Guys,Ive recently joined, Ive always had a daily driver of some form of GTI be it mk2 or nk3 gti and have been loaned vr6 between cars. I currently own a mk3 gti, I dont drive every day as i get the train to work. Ive previuosly built an MI16 205 for a fun car having had other german "cars" along the way. I had to loose my MI16 205 when I moved into my new house 4 years ago but have now sorted my garage ready for something else.IM looking for few answers around building a VR6turbo. I miss that home grown thing.Can any one tell me what their insurance is roughly..Im 33 living in kent. id use it for less than 3000 a year on my way to RWYBOne of my main reasons im interested in a vr6 turbo is a silver vr6 turbo corrado i saw and heard at the spring festival last year . its on you tube as chargedrado. It sounded sensational.if your on this forum, let me knwo what your running : )I plan on building my turbo with second handish parts apart from things like 440 injectors, and a new MAF from c2 and chip. Is this a sensible way to go?As much as i love my german cars and Golfs(Ive had one since leaving uni) I need to be realistic. If this project is going to cost me as much as buying a 97 evo or sky line or for a little bit more i can buy a cerbera, and not be paying modified insurance premiums then its a bit of a non starter.Give me your in sight (owners) please.Cheersmatt Link to post Share on other sites
goonersteve 0 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Best bet is to speak to Jim Potter on here. He currently has a VR turbo and I think he pays somewhere around £400 a year for insurance. Best check with him though.Here is his build thread if you are interested http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?231150.post Link to post Share on other sites

goonersteve 0 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 I'm sure you'll get some other responses on here from other people too. Prob a bit late for it at the mo! But there are others on here who have turbo'd their VR. Link to post Share on other sites
