I feel like I'm being attacked for buying the wrong car for the track ! I'm not a mechanic nor am I an engine tuner ! I'm on here for u guys to help me not slag me off ! I can only tell u what I know about the car in the hope u can advise me ! It has had engine mods done to it not sure what exactly ! What I do know is it has a 6 branch manifold full stainless exaust, induction kit, power chip and the internal work ? Please stop barking at me I'm nit a 17 year old kid showing off. I'm a 30 year old that's into cars and is after some advise !

Fare point that is why we are all on here for a bit of advice and general chat about vw dub's, can i just say something and dont take it the wrong way but the photo you put up of the engine shows that it is running the standard airbox which means it isnt an induction kit. Do you know if the filter inside is a uprated filter instead? Usally an induction kit would get rid of the air box and possibly have a heat shield a round it?
Do like the car though mate

just ignore the pointless comments, at the end of the day i'd rather thrash about in a vr than a 16v purely for the sound. ref the bhp and mods they are all by the by if your turboing/supercharging although if theres no recipts for the modds you may want to check out whats actually going on under the bonnet as things that are said during a sale can often be taken with a pinch of salt..

Sorry my mistake it has a performance filter ! I'm new on this site so don't really know what I'm doing ! It's taken me a week to put a pic on ! I'll get some more pics on tommorow ! I'm after a roll cage and all the strut braces if anyone has any and a steering wheel with boss ?

[mmaattyyg]

Yea I hear that ! But at the same time there must have been some mods done engine wise as I took it to a rolling road and saw the 218bhp ? Is there anywhere near brands hatch that I can take the car to to get it super charged pay the money and drive out ? Hopefully with a massive smile on my face !

Thought so, its not a prob mate as we where all once beginers on this site   I would suggest though that you do have a real tinker around the engine to see if you can tell what else visually has been done. Performance filters actually give good gains against some induction kits. Has the airbox had any holes drilled in it that you can see? If you not sure take the filter out and see the inside of the box.
I looked at getting a mk3 vr6 before i got my mk2 and was thinking a long the same lines of you by stripping it out fully and get it track spec. At the end of the day iwas wanting something that would put a smile on my face and at least you have the right idea mate  
Cant help on the roll cage but i am sure someone will know of someone who can. I do know a very very good welder who has built a fare few roll cages in his time who would be willing to make you one???

I am sure that there will be a place but the problem you have is that i dout any garage will supercharge it without knowing what has already been done plus they would make sure that the car is running mint first. Otherwise they will have to start looking at what has already been done to the engine first before they supercharge it which will cost you more money. This is why i said that maybe an idea to have a good tinker first aroung the engine and see what has actually been done before you walk into a garage and want it supercharging?

Yea the air box has a 2 inch hole cut out at the front with a pipe going from the air box to a hole cut out of the fog light!  Where abouts is ur welder ?

[mmaattyyg]

Are you anywhere near me ?

[Peej1981]

He is in lincolnshire near skegness but he has done the cages before and had then special deliverd? I could get a price off him and let you know. I would need to know what sort of cage you want? Full including all door pilers etc etc?
Ok so i get what has been done to the air intake, basically they have put a performance filter in the standard box, then made a custome induction hose from the fog to the air inlet. What sort of exhaust system has it goot aprat from the 6 branch and the dtm back box? Only asking (i might be wrong here) but the guy who has had it before has oobviously thought about the air intake to have kept the standard box and build a custom intake pipe, they wanted the best airflow with little heat affecting it. If it has been decatted and custome center exhaust section then they have obviously wanted the air to flow as good as possible into the car and back out again which might suggest they may have done more. But like i said a maybe wrong on this point and i am sure someone will point this out? But i was always tought that the better and colder the air getting into an engine and the better you can make it exit it then the better the performance???
