new mk3 golf vr6 owner...turbo?
« on: 19 December 2011, 13:32 »
hello vdubbers. ive got a mk3 golf vr6 and want to turbo it. I know that engine upgrades are required in most circumstances but is there a limit to the turbo output on the engine?

Welcome to the forum..... The limit is your wallet really. I've seen 500bhp + VR6 turbo motors but usually to go this far and beyond a big budget is required, a lot of parts would need to be swapped out for uprated options to cope.

Depends how much you want from it.  Probably be best to have a look around the forum and try the search function as i'm sure will find some info on here.

Welcome mate.

Most usually stick a supercharger on the V6.
Not a lot of room at the back for a turbo I think!
