Vr6 to 1.8t
« on: 25 December 2011, 23:09 »
Used to have a vr, well a few.
Getting bored of my caddying work can.

What can I expect from a mk4 turbo?
If I'm not going to enjoy it after the vr. What can I do? Or should I just get a vr?

Help appreciated people.....

The Vr might well outperform it really, bags of torque etc...

Standard vr6 will be quicker than a standard 1.8t.

But who leaves a 1.8t standard?

Unless it is a 180 :smiley:

Sod the work / hassle and expense of fitting a 1.8t to a mk3, just buy a mk4 and remap it. :smiley:

Also it maybe worth thinking outside the box and getting a Leon Cupra or Octavia vRS, 180bhp as standard and a remap will get you 210 / 215

Mk3 is a Fat friend lighter than a Mk4
They are awesome with a 1.8 conversion, why VW did not kit them out with a turbo unit as standard boggles my tiny mind.
They would have been legendary.

Still, a late Mk4 + £500 on mods are weapons :smiley:
