Thinking about these for my Corrado. In the past Ive run Avo, AP Coils and currently have Koni TA + H&R but want to go lower and thought about trying these out but very little feedback on VR6's. Most online reviews do praise them for ride quality but had anyone tried them out?

Im tempted. Is there a detail on what was involved in the engine rebuild i.e. chains/tensioners? Can you get some closer photos of the rust patches. Is there an MOT on the car?

Who carried out the engine work? Are the driveshafts uprated? Any engine bay photos? Is the turbo also same mileage as the engine? Any A/F or boost gauges added to monitor the car?

Remote locate the turbo if your after a real project.

Trevor or Maurice Reeves. Thats an old vid. Its not a normal Mk2 and if you think thats fast you should see the Mk1.

I asked recently about DIY kit but not plans for that at the moment. The others that Ive heard about have had no real issues at all, I would certainly entertain it if you dont feel comfortable doing it yourself. If it were me Id be going for the Racelogic TC at the same time as getting the car done.

Interesting, What extra displacement does the R32 crank give? Im assuming its longer stroke than standard.

The feeling you have with that engine is the way they normally feel. Lots of nice low ends grunt that appears to tail off. Obviously any codes need to be rectified but its just the charatcer of the engine. .

Is the split in the hose not to allow a t-piece in for the turbo cooliant line? Seem to remember on mine I have to t-into that hose when fitting a water cooled GT35.

I think the comment from earlier was why does a V5 Mk4 not feel undergeared and Dox's was pointing out that the overall diameter between a Mk4 Golf and a Mk3 is different i.e. Mk4 had bigger rolling diameter tyres. 205/40/17 for Mk3 225/45/17 for a Mk4.

The Mk4 4motion I have has the Brembo Junior GT kit fitted and its overkill for what I use the car for so Im looking into fitting it onto my Corrado VR6. http://www.thettshop.com/performance...product=600438 Now its seems most use the Leon Cupra Set up but I cant find info on offsets/brackets for using the GT Junior kit on a VR6. Has anyone done this that could say what brackets or spacers for carriers would be involved? Im putting the 4mo back to standard set up as its a pain trying to get wheels to fit

Ive had that before, twice. its probably the seller getting it wrong as the measrue the clamp and not the v-band. Buy from a proper place that sells the turbos like GT3 turbo..

Yes James did a very good job. It was litterally like a new car when I bought it. I dont normally like doing that as I like working on my car but it was too good to miss out on. Im not really a show person to be honest. I might go to Gti International this year but I prefer to use it, not polish it.

215 is fine and a lot better than a stretched 195 IMO. I run 205's and there still slightly stretched. Speedo will read slighty out but it will only be a few mph.
