Passat had the same engine as the golf, 2792cc 128kw or 174bhp.
Corrado had 2861cc 140kw or 190bhp.

I donÂ’t know if the US and UK VR6 2.8L engines are the same but this is what my car dynod last week to the wheel.

(http://web.vtc.edu/users/jwp02170/Dyno/VR6DynoRun3.jpg)

To the crank this is 195hp and 200ft-lbs of torque (using 18% from wheel to crank conversion).

Here is a list of mods/conditions:

-2.25" cat back exhaust

-Cone intake right on MAF sensor

-Deleted power steering

-Deleted AC

-87 octane (lowest you can get in the US)

-130k on engine

-Distributor and coil used for ignition, no coil pack (from a 1993 Passat)

errr in that case this quote you just did is complete rubbish then. So as i said a standard mk3 VR produces around the 176BHP mark. A 16v MK3 DOES NOT produce more power.
