yep the MK4 is one hell or a lardy ass bas tard and much more boat like than a 3

with a 1.8T in the 3 you have a right weapon

Id say the VR would smoke a standard 150 Mk4 and it deffo gives the 180BHP versions a hard time too because Bens VR has done just this

But as said, put that engine in the mk3 and its a while new ball game.. it is effort to do the transplant tho and £££ too

I have built a mk2 vr before.

The 1.8t I'm looking at has a stage 2 map apparently, ko3s, forge cooler, forge actuator, upgraded down pipe, de cat/stainless system, and bigger turbo pipework....
And about 130k,
Told it should be about 230 bhp, not sure what all of that would give this lump tho?

Should be pretty quick surely lol....

Im with Wayne personally I would just buy a 1.8t mk4 and go from there unless you would like to have ago at a conversion on a mk3.I havent personally done any kind of conversion as I would rather put my money into other things but I wouldnt think it would be to cheap and resale value isnt great.

Id just get a VR6 as my old mk4 was the most boring car Ive ever owned except for an old escort gti.  :sick:

Its all a matter of opinion though, I think the best thing to do is drive both and decide which one works for you.

They will both need money spending on them -whether it be sorting the suspension or getting it remapped.

Didnt you buy the worst Gti though the 2.0l none turbo ??? VR6 in standard form isnt that quick either and they cost a fortune to run.
