    Does the Quaife price include the bolt kit? A peloquin costs about $700 = £400 and includes the bolt kit.

    That's fully comp with Greenlight.

    I pay £600 (27, clean record, full ncb) with all mods declared.

    I use the demon-tweeks high temp pipe on my intake. The closest size is 82mm and I think they come in 1 metre lengths. 80mm is a difficult size to get!

    I've got a C2 motorsports (check out www.c2motorsports.net for pics) cai pipe which costs $200. This will at least get the filter out of the engine bay and you could try and run a pipe from the front bumper to the filter to get some airflow into it.

    You could buy some flexible pipework to make a feed or buy a new intake (cai) which places the filter just below the wing so it's not in the warm engine bay.

    That does sound like the cables need adjusting.

    C2 motorsports or schimmell (both in the US) do good headgasket spacers.

    Don't get the one from AMD, get one from Alpina527 at less than half the price.

    Early vrs (up to about 95) had hotwire mafs then they switched to the hotfilm maf.

    Have you had the fault codes checked? Lots of things can cause misfires but changing the plugs and leads is a good start.

    hehe !lol good one!
  13. mightyvr6
    Could be quite a few things: plugs, leads, coilpack, cam sensor, maf etc. Get it on vag-com then go from there.

    They cost about £125 from GSF or Eurocarparts.

    About £100 for a non-genuine and £200 for genuine.

    They don't fail that often. When they do go wrong 2 of the 6 tend to go at the same time. The insolation can crack and cause arcing which can lead to lumpy running. Do the epoxy fix and see if it runs any better. If it doesn't you might be looking at some other problem - leads, plugs or possibly the maf.

    matth76 - Shouldn't take more than 2 hours to fit. It's actually a fairly straight forward DIY job.

    Fabio - have you got a standard gearbox mount? 28v6r what oil is best for a vr box- standard vw stuff or something like Redline MT90?

    Yes there are a few guys on here inc. myself with charged vrs. Very good to drive. Same power delivery as a stock engine but with lot more midrange and high revs power. I paid £1000 for my kit second-hand but new, your looking at £2000+ No problems installing it. Very straight forward. They seem very reliable too. I've done 30,000+ miles with no issues relating to the charger or engine. Go for it!

    Vortech chargers are mechanically geared internally whilst z-chargers have external toothed (zr2)and ribbed (zr1) drive belts. Pullies on vortech are easily interchangeable but most put out 6-9 psi but you can check this by measuring the pulley size.

    The VF mounts are very similarly priced. Nothing between them in terms of quality and performance.

    I've got Vibratechnics all round. Excellent mounts. Engine is solid and no vibration. Theres a discount too for vr6oc members who purchase Vibratechnics. They cost about £300 for the three(minus discount). Fitting - probably 2 hrs labour.

    Does sound like a sticky starter motor. Might need removing and re-greasing.

    chris 20vt - i'm sure if you bought one of the items off ebay and paid by paypal you can get the money back if he goods weren't delivered. I realise that doesn't help you with the items bought outside ebay.

    I think I first saw him advertising on ebay, then his details were posted on the corrado forum.
