Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 yeah some shocks are listed as gti/vr6 mate Link to post Share on other sites
Vw_owner 1 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 i would of thought it wouldnt matter aslong as you use the vr6 springs as there rated for the engine weight etc, but then again the shocks damping rate could be rated for the vr6 aswell, if i was you i would try and keep it all vr6, if that isnt an option just use the vr6 springs on the gti shocks and forget about it, there cant be much differance if any in it, plus we get to use the excuse "we live in guernsey" hahahadidnt see post above ^ well atleast you know for sure its ok!

rsweeney 40 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 does the 2l gti have the same fuel tanks as the vr6 ? or would i have to just change the pump? not sure with fuel systems ! Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 The tank is the same, but regards the pump, change it to a VR as a matter of course becuase Im 99% sure their different, it might be able to power it on idle but not when giving it the beans! Link to post Share on other sites
rsweeney 40 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 ok thats understandable but glad the tanks are the same ! is that all that will need changing ? Link to post Share on other sites
