Not to sure MR VR6, I know Van Aaken are near the old TRL in crowthorne where the old GTI International was held. Other than that not to sure.

Any one know any Surrey based VW tuners?

I had my 1995 Mk3 VR6 chipped, and had asked for a before and after dyno reading, which they quoted in there bumf was what they supplied.

When they handed the car back to me with a dyno plot it only showed the figures with the chip fitted. On asking for the figures before it was chipped I was just shrugged off with the fact the chip had made an improvement on the performance. To be honest the car did'nt feel any different so I personally would not bother and I had nothing in my had to prove it did.

So if you do decide to go for one then make sure you get a reading before its fitted or you could just be taken for a ride.

One thing that has made a big improvement to my VR6 is the VSR manifold in the low down torque, and the fuel economy is slightly better by 1-2 mpg over a steady 20 mile run. Im glad it did as the feeling of wasting money is not a good one especially if its a lot like the VSR was.

Cheers geezers. I'll definately be careful if i do get it done. I want a shrick manifold too, but they are loads of bucks.
