So I've just bought myself a mk3 vr6 brother in law raves about them so thought I'd see what all the fuss about, fair to say ten seconds later I see why! Now I'm stripping it down and rebuilding been doing a bit of digging and seen that there is a 312mm brake upgrade for the front brakes is than upgrade for the rears or is a case of leaving them just getting better discs and pads? If there is what is it and how do I go about doing it? Many thanks in advance Aaron

The tuner you're using should go through all of this for you, no-one else, as it can depend on how it is being tuned, how good they are, whether or not they are using someone else's file which will need their specific products used. If they are using a promaf tune for example, then it'll have to use that unless changed, same with the injectors. The main re-seller file I have seen is set up for about 470hp using stock maf though fyi.

hi,no it wont dude,no problems and good luck cheers

I have one that you can have but no pump in it?

Hi rich, thanks for the info think I'm going to go ahead and do that! The fronts have 288mm discs on at the moment from what I gather anyway like I said just got it so still doing my digging need to buy a new car jack as well my old one has given up on me! ? Don't know if the calliper for that would fit a 280mm set up?

hi,do you mind if I ask what calipers/brakes you already have on the front as I'm looking for a drivers side front Lucas caliper for my 280mm set up....just in case you decide to go for the 312mm upgrade..also its usually the fronts that are upgraded to 312mm on the vr6,apart from better discs/pads the rears are more than upto the job dude!!

Hopefully it will be finished by then ?

Virtually all of the pro turbo tunes use an underscaled maf map to handle the boost so will depend on the tune, stock maf can see 450hp+ so no need to upgrade until you reach these limit's logging the data. 630's can have linearisation problems over time, you're better off with Bosch EV's though but again, depends on the tune and how they've been set up or if you buy a generic one or get a custom tune.
