    Hello
    I've picked up a 6branch for a vr6 but the diameter of the whole thing seems bit big
    Anyone got one off the car that can measure the tube sizes pls?
    I will once I find my vernier

    Yeah you need to change the rear pipes and there available from eBay £35 ish
    But the problem I had was that the normal size for the banjo bolt is m10 but the calipers I got off a mk4 had the m12 fitting
    So get the calipers first to see the size of the banjo bolts

    it will show 9psi as the charge air will be hotter/warmer than ambient temp

    Start with a 24v motor mate
    Davey boy and papers are going that way too
    I think Same turbo set up same boost on a 24v usually give about 30-50 hp more than a 12v I think
    And shed loads more torque in the mid range

    I'm colour blind too!!!
    Well being honest I ended up using the 12v ecu so didn't have to rewire much besides the injectors and couple others like extend MAF sensor wires one wire on the alternator plug
    It took me and hour to do the injectors one earth and 6 live lol
    only reason I went 24v was the limits of the vr6 head N/A struggle to get to 250bhp
    And cheaper than rebuilding the 12v
    There are a few out there who can do a wiring loom for you so that its plug and play
    There are quite a few corrados and golf with 4mo and r32 engines in
    Its basically same engine to mount in the bay same mountings used
    it took me a week but half that time I was getting stressed doing the heater matrix throwing spanners swearing making lots of tea eating and on phone to my mrs lol
    I told her I would be back in a couple of days
    Any ways if your near Northampton pop over I will take you out in the black rusty shed lol
    I'm sort of in same boat as recently moved etc
    In all the years of messing with cars this is by far the best most cost effective conversion I've done that's lasted lol 10k miles in 7 months

    depends which parts your on about
    It's more or less the same engine with extra 12v lol and a lot better head design
    Servicing is same
    Only difference when you go turbo will be the exhaust manifold but there only cheap
    Which costs you on about?
    Plus the 24v management is miles better one reason being as it uses wide band lambda as standard
    Have a read of swivellingit s thread his got a low boost 24v 4motion
    Zak
    But the 12v VR6 does sound million times better than the 24v

    Turbo the 24v instead even better again. Another member on here VIW28 has an around 550bhp mk3 with a 2.8 24v turbo engine in it

    Oh sorry I meant was to swap in a 24v lump I paid £350 for the engine wiring ecu and gearbox
    I sold gear box for £170
    Old engine for £100
    HT leads and tool for £30
    Alternator £25
    Intake pipe-PCv £25
    Old clutch and flywheel I think I got £30
    And I've still got some other bits left to sell
    To get 250bhp from a 12v you would need loads and loads of cash to waste
    A nothell mk3 golf with big valve head port polish and 3.2 didn't make 250
    My standard 24v with a 4.4kg flywheel made 229bhp 200ft lbs and 224bhp second time at stealth and that is without a remap still got the cat and restrictive exhaust and a list of faults both times
    Hope you see why I'm advising towards 24v
