Trust me it is not, you will struggle to get anywhere near those figures in day to day use, most manufacture's figure are overstated.

correct you cant compare a turbo s3 lump to a vr6 n/a,but turbo the vr and its a different story my money would be on the 6 pot all day long

have you been in either ??   well shut up then LOL

Mine isn't standard no more. and i would say the turbo Vr would have a hard time trying to beat mine.. next year see's a bigger turbo too and 350+ BHP with LSD... 
Well no I have not been in a golf with an s3 engine but the wife had a tt 225 and It was nippy but I think the 1.8 bam engine is weak and I have been in a supercharged vr that would of smoked your golf no problem so there you go you can shut up you don't like it when people talk about anything other than the 1.8t it ain't all that that's why it was dropped for the better 2.0t
the 1.8T engine is just so easy to get big power from...

you are such a clueless goon, can't even quote correctly let alone give a valid reply  

A standard S3, or TT does feel sh!t, numb and boring.. also don't feel fast.. i know this...i really do..

now you take that engine, which is not weak like you say it is you numpty, modify it and wack it into a MK3 and believe me you have a serious weapon on your hands..mine is not even fully custom mapped yet and is still only on it's K04 turbo and it matches pace with my mates R32 SC easily...

Now  all this ball bags about this VR SC you have been in FFS, phaaa, id put my V5 down on that one. i know a guy who has one, he is on ED38 and he has the biggest SC on any VR6 in the UK... well one of 2 cars actually and you know what. he only has 220ibft!!  even he says my car would smoke his.. you don't even know the specs on my car to even say what would smoke it and what wouldn't and TBH id not be right bothered about what is faster.. my car is very fast and lots of fun. it makes me smile every time i put the foot down and thats good enough for me..

not a fan of superchargers, too much pointless noise. Wack a turbo on a VR and it will be very similar to mine, but use a load more fuel.. and will never be as easy to get even more power from than what the S3 lump will be.. Have you not seen some of the BIG turbo kits you can get for this very highly tuneable engine? why do you think everyone wants to use the AMK / BAM engines ?? ?  


lastly the reason they replaced the engine with the 2.0 FSI was mainly about emissions..


Regarding weight of the engines. A VR engine is heavier than the 1.8T, a guy on Vortex weighed one, the VR block minus head weigh in a 145KG, the 1.8T is between 80kg - 100kg with head

haha im not assed anyway mate cos i would not spend &&&'s converting a mk3,putting all that power in the worst handling fwd car there is,i would rather just buy something like a monaro with more power for less than you spent on the conversion,and get my money back on it no probs you will lose &&&'s on it,and the supercharged vr had 320 bhp by some company called storm or summet,anyway listen mate yours would beat mine no probs and im sure the 1.8t is good when tuned i only went in a standard 225

[F17BAD]

my mates was originally rolling roaded at storm too

their RR figures are errrmmmm  not very accurate

anyhow, a monaro would loose LOADS of money are you crazy ?? and they just look sh!t plus use so much fuel too, i could put the bigger turbo on mine for what the fuel costs are and smoke it no problem making whoever is driving it look a right goon.. they are about as big a bungalow....  let the australians keep them i say...


i never built mine to make money or hold value but i believe it will hold money quite well.. better long term than a Monaro anyhow..Plus the way i saw it was, either buy a brand new Focus RS or S3, both 30k cars.. spend loads on deposit and finance only to loose thousands.. where as my conversion cost me 5k, we did it ourself, the car will never be sold. its all paid for, it has oldskool looks with newskool performance.. winner in my eyes.. not everyones but mine and to me thats what counts

its also a very good advert for what me and ben can do, and that alone came make us £££££££  back....   

And believe me, its not the worst handling FWD car ever. mine is well sorted and iv had a lot of cars , try a nova with a redtop for handling or a mk3 escort.. list goes on and on.. MK3's are really pretty decent once properly sorted
