The corrados also have a different inlet manifold and throttle body to give a bit more top end as well. Have these been fitted or were the golf ones reused?

To be honest i have no idea! just found the recipt from TSR so might give them a ring and see if they can tell me.

Get it on a rolling road to see what it is putting out. If it has not been chipped' date=' that might be something worth considering.[/quote']

Yes thinking of coming along to the one on the 31st of oct to see how it goes, Been considering a chip for a while just dont know where to go? any advice?

[2.9 no quicker than 2.8!]

Hi all

I have got a 2.9 vr6 motor in my golf and its no quicker than my old 2.8! a few people have said that the corrado is lighter than the golf thats why its quicker, but at the end of the day its still should have approx 10-15 bhp more which should be noticable ~

i have got all the paper work from TSR who rebuilt it with larger valves ect and fitted it but cant see anything about the ECU, could it be that its still got the original ECU from the 2.8? i could be completely wrong but any help would be appreciated!

[2.8 OR 2.9??????]

Hi all

Just a quick question-Is there anyway of telling the difference

between the 2.8 and the 2.9 motor just buy looking at it??

only reason i ask is that my car is supposed to have the 2.9 motor in it but considering it doesnt seem any different from my old 2.8 motor im a bit unsure?

thanks guys 8o)
