Glad to hear it Stow  :cool: :grin: :cool:

Wherry, was going to bolt a Turbo on this year but always had something a little different in mind so I'm just gonna wait til my weddings out of the way (May) then do what I originally intended, VR6 T.............T
2 K03's  :shocked: :shocked:
Sourced some of the bits already, I have one of my K03's, gonna custom make the outlet manifolds but the engine is going to stay pretty OEM looking, no short inlets or owt silly, wanna keep the engine looking pretty much how it is now.... aside from the 2 turbo's strapped to its back  :laugh: :laugh:
Getting a custom downpipe made and the lovely lads at Carbon will be taking it on for the mapping, gonna try keep factory management but we will see how that pans out.
350bhp
340ft/lb torque
Quite easily too, theres only a couple of VR6 TT's in the uk and seen a mk2 synchro pushing 480bhp with 440ft/lb torque  :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
INSANE!!!!!!
Looking at slip diff and six speeding the 02A, been looking at an 02S-02A hybrid which looks pretty good.
Exciting but just gotta get this pesky wedding out the way first ha ha

The K03's came on most of the standard 1.8T's, only need small turbo's if your rocking 2 of em ha ha

the weddings killed us for the last year, we both have really big family's so the day is costing a bloody fortune  :sad:
Will be a good un tho, looking forward to the honeymoon, 2 weeks in Cancun at 'the Royal, Cancun' Jacuzzi in the room and no kids (Our lass is a childminder so this is a mega bonus ha ha)
Also, got the best looking Samba for our wedding car, its Sssscchhweeeeeetttttt  :grin: :grin:

The sex....

KO4s is the audi one then?  can you run these with out changing any internals?

Lovely looking samba, would look lush in your wedding shots....we've got big families too but decided its cheaper to not invite most of them  :grin:

 :undecided: Not going to be easy also not sure why or what the thinking is, one big turbo will give you as much, space wise you are very limited, even if you did get them in all the plumbing needed etc is going to be very tight.

You going to need to change the inlet manifold I think so you can run 2 throttle bodies etc, what ever happens your going to need to drop the compression etc.


gonna try keep factory management but we will see how that pans out.

Standalone management will be your only choice also lets say you do get near 350bhp even with a LSD your going to struggle to get the power down.

Good evening Wayne  :wink:
Not going to be easy for sure, but why the hell not  :cool:
Lowering compression is a must, the install will be very tight but very do-able. The inlet manifold can stay, the air box will need moving to the otherside of the bay for the provisions of the FMIC pipework,
summat like this  :cool:

:undecided: looking at that picture, the things on the front of the inlet manifold what are they, guessing extra injectors?

Not too sure myself tbh  :undecided:
there are very few TT VR6's, so this is the reason I'm wanting to do it. VR6T's or Supercharged are ten a penny now, just about everyone on VR6oc are forced induction now (Apart from Wherry and the Ramrod, sorry boys  :rolleyes:)
A little change from the norm is what keeps things interesting  :nerd:

Turbo FTW, supercharged VR.s are just WEAK and no torque

don't need much PSI to get big figures.. it will be a monster..  i hear something about gold pipework tho hahahah (Joke)

could use 1 big turbo like the GT28 I'm getting for mine.. but you are looking at £1k for that alone...the twin K03 is something different and maybe something we can supply to other VR6 owners down the line
