Ok this is starting to make a bit more sense to me now ! Exaust wise it is a full stanless with no cat, yea I'd be very interested in the cage do u have any pics of any cages he has done before ? I would want a full cage the hole kit and kaboodle ! It also has coilovers all round it's been lowered don't know by how much but it handle the nuts even in the wet as it has semi slick tyres on it, this car is quite a beast it's ashame I don't know what's been done !

mmm well maybe they have thought about good air flow through the engine then. I dont have any pics but will try and get some for you and pm them to you. Do you know what make the coilovers are? Just that you can buy some cheap coilovers which are common just to give you that slammed look and are quiet good at cornering or you can actually get race spec ones which are sh*t hot and cost a lot of money. Did you buy the car with semi's on? Could you not find out from the V5 (logbook) who the privious owner was and try to contact them to see what they had done to the car???

My old vr had a 6 branch manifold, decat, full stainless system and an induction kit and that made 191.4 bhp at Awesome gti in Manchester. Oh and it was obd2.

For your car to be making 218 bhp it must have some uprated cams, port+polished head, bigger valves and a 2.9l intake manifold and throttle body and ontop of that a remap/chip.

Does the car have any paperwork/reciepts with it so you can get more of an idea what has been done..?

Holy f*ck, where to start.

*sigh*

Can this be moved to the track section where we can lampoon it in relative peace? 

Judging by the naivety of the original poster someone should either inform him of the existence of Google or that modifying a VR6 for track is hardly an exciting journey, or one that many of us are particularly excited about him embarking upon with such little knowledge, experience or guile.

Surely though that if he has had uprated cam, port polish, bigger valves etc etc then it should be running more the 220bhp? Even after you have sorted the air flow out to be a lot better then a remap and chip would possibly put it in the sort of mark bhp? When yours was running 191bhp was that with a remap and chip? JUst wondered because if it wasnt then if you had got a good remap that might have taken the bhp to 215-220?

That was without a remap.

If i had had it remapped i'd have been lucky to get another 3-5 bhp.
Remaps/chips give llittle gain on N/Acars compared to cars with forced induction.

dimond hell ill tel you what ill do ill jus delete my post for you ! will that make you happy ! there is some proper dick heads on here ! yes im naieve so what ? like i said im not a mechanic or an engine tuner. does that mean i cant par take in conversaition or talk about my own car ! i get the gist of it, getting a car ready for the track is hard even when you know what your doing and i dont, so what ! on a serious note if certain people have nothing positive to say then dont say anything at all. CERTAIN PEOPLE ARE TURNING THE CONVERSATION SO ITS BASED ON ME AND NOT MY VW OR VWS IN GENERAL

it seems certain people on this forum use it to show the size of there nuts ! well !!!!!!!  DIMOND HELL YOU OFFICIALLY HAVE REAL BIG NUTS well done mate

Really thought they would have given more then that in the bhp range. I know though you get better gains from a remap on a n/a car a lower revs, they seem to be more responsive too?
I would expect to have a good gain though from having all engine work like cams, port polish, throttle body, bigger valves, injectors and manifold, what sort of extra bhp increase should you expect from that?
I still suggest he checks the V5 out for the old owner and try to contact them they might know a little better about what has been done.

peej i have just texted the last owner but he hasnt got back to me yet, ill ring him in the morning. so watch this space and we might find out ?
