Different bore sizes, by a long way. The VR6 is bigger than the 8v gti, the 8v gti is bigger than the 1.6gl.

Would need a reducer sleeve to fit it, but im not sure if they make one for that big a reduction of the shelf.

Dont think so. probably a tenner. Think volksbits sell them. Not sure. Dont quote me on that price.

Theres 2 reducers on this page, but im not sure which one you want, as i dont know the width of the exhausts on a VR6, GTI and GL.
