vr6 ?

[dam088888]

Hey mk3 lads currently own a mk4 1.8t just want to know what the mk3 vr6 are like in comparason

[Wayne]

Stick with the 1.8t, better on fuel plus with a remap quicker and more torque.

If you want a less tuneable, slower off the mark, older car that eats petrol then get yaself a VR................
All that said, i wouldn't swap my VR for a 1.8t, I love that noise and once turbo'd (coming soon  ) it will eat most 1.8t's out there

it's a weird one. mk4's are faster with a remap, better mpg.
but what one puts a huge smile on ya face? the mk3 vr6 

there is something about them and worth a try.

The 1.8T is overrated in my opinion.

  for noise a Vr wins hands down, bang for you buck wise a 1.8t is the better choice, remap gets you 200bhp or 220 if it is a 180 and not that expensive against the work / mods needed to get power out of a VR

I was driving a while ago when some cool kid thought he would show off infront of his mates in his Mk4 1.8T and try to overtake me..

He was NOT Happy!

But in fairness mine produces 187.5bhp and 182lb/ft on the rollers and given the weight to power ration it can't be much different to a MK4 1.8T that's had a stage 1 map?

From memory Dom's made 205bhp and 245lb/ft torque when first remapped, weight wise a mk4 cannot be that much heavier.

Not sure what mine is making, will try and find out soon.

You Are all missing the main difference between the mk3 and the mk4.
The mk3 looks awesome in so many different mod styles and the mk4 is a big ugly fat arssed thing that pretty much looks the same no matter what you do to it.
