Ess_three has a 16v and looks to be getting high BHP without a TC or SC.

Yes this is where the nearly 200bhp figure comes from.
He has performance inlet cam, standard exhaust cam, ported and polished head, with matched inlet and exhaust. Along with the other stuff like exhaust, modified airbox, throttle body remap etc. He has shown a 46 ish bhp increase and torque of 160 lb/ft torque.
What I really want to know is if it is cheaper to get better results from the VR6. If it is I will consider the swop, how hard is it to gt 240 to 250 bhp from the VR6, or am I dreaming without boosting it.
What will a similar level of modification give on a VR6, and what are the costs.
Manifold, cams, headwork, remap, how much for how much gain.
Cheers

The vr i used to own was an OBDI. It had filter, jetex exhaust, remap, and it was running 190-195bhp.
I got the exhaust second hand, i got the chip second hand too, my father-in-law soldered a socket to my ECU, so i could interchange the chips myself.
I would say 220bhp+ would be easily achievable on an OBDII, with the above work and a good set of cams.
The VSR won't add any bhp, it just drastically increases low end torque, like a real V6.
