Scrap the question about the smoking. Does anyone hav an engine and gearbox for sale?

Hi guys and girls 1 quick question for you. I blew the diff on my jetta vr and im thinking of getting the flywheel lightend while the gearbox is out. Is it recommended and if so how much can you lighten a vr6 flywheel without it giving any running trouble? and also has anyone had trouble with blue smoke when on overrun down hill? If so what is the cure? Valve stem oil seals? All help greatly appreciated many thanks shaggy

Thanks for putting me on the list i will c u all down there and it will be good to meet you all.

Put me down it would be good 2 see what power shes running. I dnt think its alot tho.

I will check out the plugs etc although it doesnt feel like its miss firing.

Thanx 4 all your advice guys i will get sum wrapping at the end of the month wen i get paid. Im goin 2 put it on the diagnostic machine on monday 2 see if it is any wiser. I will post up what it comes up with if anyfing. Thanx again. Shaggy

No its not heat wrapped. I heard its the way 2 pipes are welded 2 1 causes alot of back pressure at higher revs but i dnt no how true it is. Im goin 2 do a diagnostic on monday 2 c if that sheds any light on the subject.

Hey all i hav a 1990 mk2 jetta gti with a AAA vr lump from a 1998 highline with a raceland 6 branch manifold n a de cat pipe 2 a stainless power flow system but when i get 2 about 4500 revs it feels like it is holding back. I have heard its the manifold design that is making it hold back does that sound like a probable cause? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers shaggy.
