vdubgirl 3 Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 I can't help you with the turbo charger although a few of the crazy peeps on here have them so i suspect they'll answer your question there as far as the roll cage goes are you after a fancy one or a proper one. If your after a good one safety devices are a good company to try. P2YOB is a stunning car seen it just after it was done at inters a while ago Link to post Share on other sites
antera309 3 Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Stealth Racing have turbo'd a few VR6s and will certainly be able to tell you what's involved. Their number is 01926 812259 Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 designa dubs do VR6 turbo conversions as well Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Olly_K Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 yeah, and look at vw vortex for some handy info Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 i called stealth about a vr turbo, and they said they wouldnt do it ever again, too awkward. so i called designa dubs, and they were asking for around £4500. not bad considering it would hit 300bhp easily.also, who on this forum has a turbo. i know many have supercharged, but know of no-one with turbocharger, would like to know tho, as i have some questions.[ Edited Wed May 26 2004, 11:50PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Olly_K Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 jeff has one, well its not finished yet, DesignaDubs have it still, and there's a guy called KeithR who posts on the performance VW mag forum who has a mk2 4wd vr6 turbo Link to post Share on other sites
nickbee 1 Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 The big question is, what's it like in a 2wd car? The only ones I know of are 4wd. Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 toooooo much Id imagine... and Id budget for more than just the conversion cost... apart from the cost of replacing front tyres there'll be other bits that need strengthening or replacing before too long!

Macca 1 Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Spoke briefly to designa dubs (01256 398998) about turbos. They quoted £3500 + VAT for 350bhp (!) www.designadubs.comBut id expect to pay more to have an LSD installed, and put better brakes on, just for starters, to cope with the power. Personally i would only go down this route if i was loaded. A car running 350bhp is always going to be expensive, the fact it wasnt designed to do so isnt going to help IMO.Interesting that stealth say they found it too much hassle![ Edited Thu May 27 2004, 10:22AM ] Link to post Share on other sites

DUBXX 0 Posted May 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 has any one seen the turbo kit that you can buy from ebay??? it clames an extra 130bhp but the main point is in total it only costs £1500, now who believes this is a good investment???? Link to post Share on other sites
nickbee 1 Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 I think it would be a better investment to give your money to me and let me waste it instead. Link to post Share on other sites

nickbee 1 Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 I sound like I what the ebay turbo kit?I don't know anything about it, haven't even seen it. But as we've said turbo kits cost in excess of £4k, if this thing is £1500, whatever it is, it'll be complete rubbish. Link to post Share on other sites
