breeza18 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 its deffo a lot of fun in a mk2 altho ive never been in a mk3 vr so cant compare. my mk2's been on a diet too, no interior and poly windows with fiberglass bonnet and boot to come there a cracking motor, i read so many 16v vs vr6 stories and all i can say from owning both in the same shell is the vr6 kicks its arse all day long lol Link to post Share on other sites

breeza18 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 i can imagine the bvh heads to be awesome! there just a lot of money and i feel a supercharger is more bang per buck even when running fairly low boost. can i be cheecky and ask how much your head was pete? did you get before and after power runs?

vwdom 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 i'd put a 3.6 final drive and lsd in before you do the head that made more difference than any of the engine bits i did Link to post Share on other sites
