jims13 6 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 might add, im sure craigs shrick wasnt mapped ... although maping a car may not add alot of bhp / trq , it will sort out the mess of a curve / driveablilty that just slapping parts on leaves.. this and the 3.68 fd , will have helped pete ..

FishWick 21 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Now I've got a Jetex 2.75 inch cat back exhaust on my other VR would this release any extra power being a quarter inch bigger? What else if anything can I do to get the extra power without F/I oh and an expensive Shrick Inlet......Is that a complete Jetex exhaust or made up from their custom parts? How many silencers? What's the noise like?2.75" is a popular upgrade for R32s because of the flow but not really necessary on a 12V. 2.5" is plenty. Any gains you get from increased exhaust diameter (in n'asp applications) are only at wide open throttle approaching max rpm, so it's only a top end gain thing really.Completely agree with Pete. The shorter final drive is what makes a 12V come alive and completely disagree with Jim about it being a 'fool's upgrade'. I got 27mpg overall mpg from my VRT with a 3.68 final drive. So hardly affects mpg and I got 150 out of it, so hardly shy at the top end. I know of several VR6 owners who struggle to get 27mpg from their standard VR6s with the standard 3.39 final!!As for Stealth, I will speak to Vince and get the other side of the story. Tattle tales about VW tuners on forums are always one sided in my experience. Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Kev, i said its a fools upgrade in as much as if it ain't broke don't fix it .don was asking what else he could do, which to be fair , isnt alot unless he spends a fair bit of money. the labour charges and sourcing of the part for the final drive , dont really make it a simple upgrade thats cost effective ..if the clutch was going or gone then fair enough , whilst its all out and off then do it.the 150mph was that gps'd or speedo reading ? as i only got 159.9 gps'd over a standing mile , and tbh i think it was more or less maxed .

oldmandon 1 Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Is that a complete Jetex exhaust or made up from their custom parts? How many silencers? What's the noise like?It is a complete Jetex system, there are hmmmm Now I'm struggling to remember how many silencers there are, I'd like to say 2, but for some reason I think it may be 3. The noise is sweeet, lovely grumble on tick over and a nice growl on chat...... not offensive at all, just very nice. Cruising at 60 - 70 isn't painful on your ears either.......

ThermalP4 1 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Being serious Jim I am looking to get some upgrades for mine without forced induction. Am looking down the cams/remap/exhaust route. Anything to improve the lazy feel so if you could offer some suggestions that would be much appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites
