VR6 Supercharged

I’m trying to get all the information I need prior to installing a Vortech V2 charger on my AAA VR6.
 
The kit I’m getting includes the Vortech diverter valve. Just looking to see if anyone has pictures of their setup and how it is connected? I am still learning about forced induction. My understanding is that a diverter valve is vacuum operated so I’d need to connect vacuum from the intake manifold. Is that correct?
 
My setup would be: air filter, MAF, diverter valve, charger, throttle body.
 
Any pics or useful info is appreciated!

Wee wash and a run today

first off, hope everyone on this forum is cool enough not to purchase this engine block out from under me. Guess we'll see. 
Ive been looking around for a project and came across this https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/481427675674822/
looks like it needs needs some work but has Wossner pistons and IE forged rods with 8:1 compression, all ready for boost and just needs a little machine work and a rebuilt. 
seems like a good deal, plus I can get a '01 (i think?) Cabrio from a friend for $400 that has the common trans problem,  good for a swap.
Ive built small block chevys, mod, and a ford/mazda 2.3, but nothing built for boost. 
Ive done engine swaps, but just putting v-8s into Rangers and S-10s, nothing like putting a VR6 into a Cabrio.
So what do you all think? Is this project worth it? How much will I end up spending on Heads, etc? Im aware of all the turbo/supercharger install costs, im fine with that as im looking to build an engine for boost anyway, this looks like it could save some serious money. 
I guess im really just looking for someone to tell me to go for it, but i would love some more info, tips, etc! Im hitting the search bar and google pretty hard, found some good resources so far but any  input from experienced VR6 builders on this specific block/rod/piston combo purchase and the swap in general. 
thanks so much, the search bar has been a huge help so far already!

Hi pal,

The only place your likely to get them from now is across the pond in the US.
I will ask a few that I know and see if I can get anywhere for you.
I also know a Spanish lad too who I purchased my vr6 sill strips from.

I'll drop them a message

You'll be pushed to find a 98 car mate.
The best of them are away in storage.

I'm going to be putting mine up for sale shortly. Check my pictures and if your genuinely interested I can send you some info.

Cheers

Carl

Hi peeps, 
 
I’ve been registered from 2011 but never posted. Shame on me. I have a 4 VAG group cars just now with 3 being derv and one a 02 V6 4MO golf. I reside in Northern Ireland so am mostly in the sticks as they say. 
 
hoping for plenty of advice and tips as I’m eventually planning on turbocharging it. 
 
Will start a what’s in the fleet thread laters. 
 
Cheers

Ugghh and now it's slightly lowered on the B12 kit I feel it needs some spacers to push the wheels out a little. Spending never ceases (but I'd be bored if there wasn't a to do list!)
 

Next job is to tackle the hot start issue. Starts on circa 3 crank when cold but takes 8-12 cranks when warm and left for 15-45ish mins. The idle can be intermittently rough (just a minor vibration you can feel but can't see on the tacho - VAG-COM sees it as something like 640-680 on idle. 
 
 So far I have:
 
Read codes (cam shaft sensor), replaced cam sensor, crank sensor, new FPR valve, new thermostat, new thermostat sensors, new rad fan switch (unrelated), new sparks, leads, coilpack (cracked) and fuel filter. I'm left with fuel pump and injectors - feel free to chip in to help me solve!
 
A people have chipped in on the Corrado forum and suggested a non-return valve and a bit of 8mm pipe on the fuel pump and changing the fuel pump relay. This is relative pennies so will try it. I've also bought a new fuel filler cap cause it was a tenner but don't really expect it to do anything.
 
If this doesn't work then the injectors are coming out for a refurb and then perhaps the fuel pump. I can't think of anything else left to replace! 
 
A few corrado owners have this hot start issue - is it Corrado specific or VR6 general?
 
 
 
 

Update - car undersealed with Dinitrol and any rust treated. Car wasn't that bad underneath but wanted this done to keep it sweet.

Bilstein B12 kit fitted (need better pics as my drive is a slope). I had new rubber bits and top mounts fitted too and a Hunter alignment following. The car is is completely different to drive and much more comfortable vs the old standard stuff which was pretty knackered to be fair.

All work done by CSK Automotive is Hoddesdon. They are a Land Rover specialist but work on other cars. Chris is a great bloke and is into the VAG scene - has a lovely wrapped Audi R8.

Relisted due to time waster
 
I am selling my modified mk3 golf vr6 in storm grey metalic which is quite a rare colour.It has very low milage of only 89,600 miles. 
  The car has a 2.9 corrado inlet manifold and will come with a 2.9 throtle body and she will need remapping to run properly with the throttle body as it takes in 2 much air compared to fuel with    It has votex sides skirts and rear splitter as well as a vr6 front splitter. The side skirts have been textured but they need re-doing, the rear splitter is new to me, so I have not got round to texturing it yet. It has a different roof spoiler that is also textured. The spoiler has a high level break light.  The front bumper has U.S marker lights cut into it and has vents where the fogs were. The car also has M3 style wing mirrors which are electric, heated and painted black. There is a full vento front end conversion - the bonnet is black. There is a shark fin ariel and the car is lowered on coilovers all round which gives the mk3 a really low stance. It is sat on staggered 16 inch fyk ed3 alloys, 8 inch fronts and 9 inch rears with streched 195 nankang ultra sport 2 tyres loads of tread left on all. The front breaks have been upgraded to 312mm disks and mk4 calipers, rears are standard but will come with r32 rear calipers as I have not got round to fitting. The front end is poly bushed but the rear still requires doing (the car will come with the poly bushes). The car is fitted with eibach anti roll bars at both the front and rear and it has a full custom exhaust sytem from Tony Banks which has a lifetime guarentee. The exhaust sounds awsome. The exhaust system has a 6 branch manifold sports cat straight through to a twin 3.5 back box pipe work is 2.5inch.   The car has original recaro seats which have been in from new and I have the spec sheet to prove this. The rear seats also have headrests all in mint condition. There is a full fli audio system with pioneer head unit.  The car has extensive service history in a well presented folder.   I have lots of spares, these includes 2 front wings one of which is vented, there are 2 spare doors with glass and two spare rear side windows and a spare valve block. Will include if i get full asking price   This is an awesome car and is now 23 years old which in turn does mean it has a few age related marks but nothing major.   She runs brilliantly, very powerful and nippy. Lots of fun to be had for the lucky person who takes her home. She has a few creeks due to the coilovers being so low. She starts first time every time.   I will gladly take you for a drive in the car but if u want to drive it i will need you to show me your proven insurance and I will be with you on your test drive.   The car is mot'd until March.   You may be wondering why I am selling this amazing car, the only reason I am selling her is due to needing a bigger family car and no longer having the time to drive and finish the project  Please contact on 07769324433   2700 ono
