Just a CGTI user that knows his stuff, is a machinist by trade, and has a healthy interest in all things VW.
He's a top bloke...can't recommend him enough.

Do think it's worth doing on a vr if I want more torque? I'm temped to get the schrick manifold and some cams to increase the torque just as much has hp
I know it will be beneficial regardless, but would like to hear your input, since you just about know everything to know lol

Someone on CGTI Proved the increase in torque on the dyno on a vr6. Plus i've been in the car and it definitely likes to rev.

02A hotgolf flywheel looks like this.

I only know about what I've done...and a VR6 with a light flywheel, Schrick VRS and a pair of Schrick 268 came is a very quick revving, torquey, powerful engine.
A huge step on from the lazy revving, standard VR6.

The only other move I'd make it to better make use of the revs of the light flywheel/cammed VR6..so I'd fit a 3.67 FD from a 16v, and replace the awful standard final drive...to make it go even better.
