95VWR

Quick pic of how she's looking at the moment. Pic taken in Worthersee, Austria last week.
Decided to go back to a standard front bumper, swage line smoothed and had the slats at the bottom taken out otherwise they were hitting against the intercooler. Smoked fog lights put in and the insides of the headlights were tinted by me at home. Genuine phase 1 vento grill put on as I was getting tired of having to pop the aftermarket grill back in after every drive because of the poor fitment. Bootlid has been smoothed also. Now sitting on Merc 17" wheels which I managed to find after 6 months of looking. Easily available in 16" but 17" are quite hard to come by. Had the outer edges diamond cut from a local place and the middle kept silver. Air ride running perfectly but will be getting the arches cut out soon so can sit lower.

Hmm, not sure that you want to do that - seems like a bad mix!
I take it given they are so small that you are feeding the turbo via the supercharger? In which case how are you going to develop the electro-magnet to disengage the supercharger so it doesn't over spin at high revs or have you worked that out with the pulley system? Not that such a supercharger is any good for the 2.8 anyway as it's too small.
When I worked out these engines being compounded supercharged to turbo many years ago I think I came up with an Eaton M62 disengaged via e-m feeding something like a GTX42 - pretty sure a little H1C will max out very quickly given the volume and density of air it will be ingesting!
Then there's the mapping too - quite a bit of work on the oem but I suppose aftermarkets are simpler and should probably have provisions for extra sensory inputs fairly easily but they cost.
Also, don't forget that the compounding is putting hugely dense air through the engine and without mage knock control tuning and compression work it'll likely rip a stock block to pieces fairly quickly if the mapping isn't spot on.
Plus you can get as much power much simpler and easier with just a turbo kit which is why I decided not to go through it, just over complicated for what I wanted to achieve.

First photo of my Two VR's together. 

Not the best photo, but I had both of them out on weekend, and had to take one  
 
Many more photos of these pair coming when the nicer weather gets here! 

The VR6 Engine Explained:
 

Lots to learn here,,
 

Bill Schimmel does 4" MAF housings, and indeed I have a spare one. I'll give it to Vince to experiment with on some customers cars. It's OBD2 only though. OBD1 MAFs need custom housings made up and takes a bit of chopping up of the MAF to remove the sensor. OBD2 sensors just unscrew. 4" MAFs should give up to 17psi support, but the MAF tables need remapping to suit.
You guys speak like the MAF is the all seeing power and the cure to all your problems. I'm afraid it isn't. What sensors do you think the ECU falls back on when the MAF fails, which is frequently on forced induced engines? Yep, lambda and TPS. MAFs cause problems on standard engines, let alone S/C'd ones.
Which ever way you look at it, the main problem is not the MAF, but rather the ECU's inability to deal with boost. A standalone with a MAP sensor and boost compensation map would solve all of these problems.
Consider the cost of endless remaps chasing small problems against a standalone. It makes sense.
What ever Vince does (and he's doing a lot on this behind the scenes) seems to be met with sceptism and ungratefulness. He didn't design the ECU or the S/C kits, he's trying his best on a workaround. He's the good guy and was the only person willing to do the maps. The other companies were too worried about their reputations and refused to get involved. Some of you won't remember the GIAC chips that came with the kits originally. It's a shame you can't compare a GIAC map to one of Vince's to get an idea!!! Chalk and cheese.
And before anyone says it, 1.8T ECUs were designed to run boost from day one, but even so, if a MAF goes on a 1.8T, you can say goodbye to piston 3.
So the choices are, a workaround, or the real deal. A proper ECU with MAP and boost compensation, or flogging the dead horse stock ECU. It's up to you. VR6 S/Cs will never be 100% using the stock management.
Just a suggestion, but have you considered approaching DTA for a group buy? They've just launced the all new S series ECUs, which have tonnes of features and tuning scope.
I used to be very pro standard management, but trust me, standalones knock them into the middle of next week.

Hi All, I am from Brisbane Australia, and recently acquired a 1995 2.0 Cabrio, which wants to be a VR6 when it gets big. There are so many great rides in this club which give inspiration, keep up the great work. I am currently sourcing an VR6 donor vehicle and then the fun will begin, I am hoping to draw on many peoples experiences to help build a another great VR6 project. Keeping the dream alive, Thanks Guys an Gals
